Una promessa è una promessa

Sotto Natale un importante uomo d'affari, subissato dal lavoro e dai clienti, non trova il tempo di occuparsi della famiglia e di mantenere una promessa fatta al figlioletto: regalargli Turbo Man, giocattolo esaurito da tempo in tutti i negozi. Lo ostacolano un infido vicino di casa, bambini terribili, un poliziotto pedante. Per riacquistare la fiducia e il rispetto dei suoi cari deve trasformarsi in effetto speciale.
