Synopsis
It's the holiday season, and Archie is working at Uriah Scourge's jewelry store to earn some extra money. Archie's boss bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Scrooge from A Christmas Carol. He won't let Archie have time off, and is a skinflint - even donning an old ratty sweater so he can get a free meal at the local rescue mission. When he returns, he chases carolers away from his store. As Archie and his boss are closing up shop for the night, an un-named man walks into the store, flashes a gun and demands money.

Synopsis
The crook is now running out of the jewelry store, money in hand, as Archie's boss yells at him to stop the man (or the money will come out of Archie's paycheck). Archie chases after the man, and points him out to a nearby police officer. Finding himself cornered, the crook dashes off, knocking over the mall Santa. Shortly thereafter, he is captured by the officer, but conveniently acts innocent, having ditched the money.
