Fred Claus never had the ideal childhood. Confronted daily by the ‘saintness’ of his younger brother, Nicholas, Fred was stuck living in his brother’s very large shadow. However neither are children anymore and Fred’s bad conduct has landed him in jail. In a desperate attempt to make bail Fred relies on the one man whom he has hated all his life, Nicholas. But there is a catch, Saint Nick will only help Fred if he agrees to come to the North Pole and help the elves catch up on all their toy making. Fred reluctantly agrees but soon discovers that he is nowhere near elf material.
