 One moving picture firm wants to put me into play. The plot is some thing like this: am driving my rein. deer over the treetops, when am set upon by band of aeroplane pirates. The pirates make me hold up my hands and then divest me of my stock of toys. Just when the banditplane is about to fly away, leaving me in makes discovery.
 Amid the pack of toys he finds a rag doll. By the tag around it's neck he sees that it has been addressed to his little daughter. My thoughtfulness in remembering his little girl, despite her fathers profession, touches the bandits heart. He weeps, and then to the astonishment of his pals, he orders them to lift me into the aero plane.
 Now, MT. Claus he says, accord ing to the subtitle, we are going to deliver your toys for you all over the world tonight Give us directions and we will fly wherever you command
 So at my direction, the bandits aeroplane starts delivering the toys, making much better time, let me tell you, than my poor reindeers who were left behind. Things are going along fine.
