When a young girl refuses to believe in Santa Claus, she gets an unexpected visit from the man himself when he shows up at a Macy's department store. The man goes to court to prove that Kris Kringle is indeed real. He even has a sleigh and reindeer for added effect. After the trial, the girl begins to believe, and she even gets a gift from Santa. A heartwarming Christmas classic.
