Synopsis
A girl named Debbie is sucked into a book with two of her stuffed toys. Miss Muffet comes to life and runs off into Tattertown, where all lost things go. While Debbie tries to teach the tattertown residents about Christmas, Muffet dominates Tattertown's criminal underworld and prepares a strike against Debbie in order to keep from being under Debbie's control.
