This film evokes the golden years of American television. It was created to cater for the needs of Christmas schedule. Today it is considered one of the worst films in the history of cinema. Santa Claus is kidnapped in order to organize Christmas for Martian children. He is accompanied by two Earth children.

In the film Christmas songs are performed by a rock band Sloppy Seconds.
