Young Barnaby Doyle is a fun-loving kid who, like most children this time of year, is just about to come out of his skin with excitement. However, as much as Barnaby tries to keep his eyes open, he cannot stay awake. As Barnaby drifts into sleep, he has dreams filled with madcap Mummers: the Turkish Knight, the bold-but-not-so-bright Sir George, his faithful wood horse Fred and, of course, the wild traveling medicine man, Dr. Pepperoni. Even after the Mummers disappear to the echoes of a Christmas Carol, the Christmas magic continues... Barnaby wakes to share the joy of Christmas with one and all.
