Plot

Truck driver Larry Phillips competes with the current husband of his ex-wife, the wealthy businessman Victor, for daughter Noel's affection. Larry tries to find out what Noel wants most by surreptitiously opening Noel's letter to Santa Claus (which appears to be phonetically written) by offering to mail it for her.

He then tries to buy what he believes is her heart's desire; a Harrison The Talking Bear toy, which also happens to be the toy of the season. However, new stepfather Victor sends his spy, a man he employs named Welling to follow Larry and find out what it is Noel wants, so he can be the one to fulfill her dreams. Victor is determined to make it impossible for Larry to get his hands on a Harrison Bear by having Welling buy every one he can find and thwarting Larry each time he tries to get his hands on one.

Victor stockpiles all of the bears he acquires in a room in his box company. Larry tricks Victor into giving away the location of the bears and follows him into the room where they are kept but accidentally locks them both in.

At the tree lighting ceremony in town, a savvy female reporter has investigated who bought all the bears (Welling) and outs him to all the parents at the ceremony who have tried to buy one for their child. She declares Victor as the true villain which causes the crowd to focus their anger against Victor and his box company instead of him.

Meanwhile, inside the box company, Larry and Victor have discovered what is going on and finally come together to save the situation. They decide to have Christmas together and give Noel the prized toy from both of them, only to find out Noel never wanted the toy at all. They question her not wanting the toy and point out it was in her letter to Santa Claus. Noel accuses Larry of betraying her trust regarding the letter, which Larry makes an excuse for finding and reading the letter which he then produces; which, to his dismay, when correctly interpreted says something completely different from what he had thought.
