| Summary |
Down on their luck, a Vaudeville family moves into a dreary ground floor apartment where Rupert the squirrel lives up in the rafters. On Christmas eve, Mama Amendola prays for a miracle. With help from clever Rupert, she gets one when crisp new greenbacks rain down from the heavens, changing the Amendola's lives forever. Complications arise when Papa Amendola starts a wild spending spree with his new-found riches. Rumors also fly about daughter Rosalinda, whose charms have captivated a wolfish talent scout and the landlord's struggling musician son, Peter DIngle. With its reputation at stake, the besieged family isn't sure if it faces ruin or redemption. |
