Synopsis:
Ruthless business tycoon Jasper Rasper decides to sabotage Christmas. He visits Santa Claus and feeds him candy which causes him to grow too fat to fit down a chimney. Superman helps Santa by putting him through a rigorous exercise regimen. Santa sheds the weight just before Christmas Eve, but then finds his reindeer poisoned by Rasper. Superman agrees to power Santa's sled and save Christmas. During the trip, Superman rescues Jasper from his crashed helicopter. Rasper is grateful and apologizes to Santa. He changes his ways and rewards his employees with Christmas gifts.
