Christmas is approaching and Mr Fisher issues stern instructions to Billy that he is to spend his savings on Christmas presents for his family.

Left wondering how he can get Christmas presents for his family and avoid a major row at home, a scheme is soon hatched, but whether it works or not is a different story entirely...
