Synopsis:

Christmas is here at last in the Maxwell home! Lucas and Courtney are very anxious to open their presents. But Pa Maxwell says “No, not until cousin Arthur gets here.” Arthur just got out of the hospital and Mr. Maxwell is intent on giving him the merriest Christmas imaginable. While the Maxwells are out delivering food to the Salvation Army, Muggsy and Elmer, a couple of hapless thieves, drop in very much intent upon burglarizing the place. While they are stumbling around the room, the Maxwells come home. Elmer manages to hide, but poor Muggsy stumbles over the footstool and falls flat on his face. The Maxwells mistake him for cousin Arthur and the result is a complete three-ring circus of howls, laughter, and Christmas fun! One interior set.
