Six years after the events of A Christmas Story (1983), a now sixteen-year-old Ralph Parker finds himself on the cusp of getting his driver's license. This time, more than anything in the world, Ralph wants to get a fully restored, 1939 Mercury Eight convertible for Christmas, and the girl of his dreams, Drucilla Gootrad. However, after a stroke of bad luck, Ralph has one short week to raise enough money to right a wrong by Christmas Eve or face the consequences of a regrettable decision. Will things work out for enthusiastic Ralph in the end? Above all, will he get the girl?
