Synopsis of The Adventures of Rudolph:

“It’s a week before Christmas and Santa’s elves are busy making presents. The evil Witch Winter Grey kidnaps the elves so that they migh make presents just for her. Only Santa’s reindeer Rudolph can penetrate the cloom around the witch’s castle with his bright nose. When he arrives at the castle, he and the elves make a plan to escape from the witch.

One of the gifts the evles make for the witch is a magic mirror of truth, which will show the witch what she really is – an ugly hag. The elves and Rudolph refuse to tell her the secret of the mirror untio she agrees to release them and change her evil ways. The witch agrees and is transformed into the beautiful Witch Winter White.

When the elves, Rudolph, and Witch Winter White return to Santa’s workshop, it is Christmas Eve. They find Santa disheartened because there is no snow and the reindeer, who move through the air by stepping on snowflakes, will not be able to fly. Witch Winter White offers her help and begins her magical dance that fills the air with snowflakes. The reindeer can fly and Christmas will come after all.”
