En julafton för länge sedan fick jultomten en överraskning när han återvände till Nordpolen... ett litet barn från ett barnhem hade krypit ner i julklappssäcken. Buddy adopterades av en godhjärtad tomtenisse som uppfostrade honom i sann nisseanda. Men när man är tre gånger så stor som alla andra och usel på paketinslagning är det inte lätt att känna att man platsar i tomtenissarnas värld.
