Summary:
A small village of Savoy, surrounded by snow, is preparing to celebrate Christmas. As every year, Father Cornusse, plays the role of Santa Claus. But this year is marked by several events: the return of the mysterious Baron with the gloved hand, the flight of the ring of Saint Nicolas in the church and especially the assassination of Santa Claus. On a background of investigation, of betrayals and local superstitions, it is a very eventful Christmas.
