The day is saved when quick thinking on the part of an old elf, armed with red paint and popcorn, turns Santa’s ordinary light-blue outfit into a real Santa suit. The parade is a big success, and the reception promises to be even better. Frankenstein’s monster, Tarzan, Lupe Velez, Shirley Temple, Al Jolson and Bing Crosby are all there to greet Santa.
