The kitchen staff of the Pennyfoot Hotel is toiling away to prepare the finest meal for the guests on Christmas. And the plum pudding may very well be to die forCecily Sinclair Baxter could use a Christmas miracle. Mrs. Chubb, the Pennyfoots housekeeper, must travel up north for a family emergency, and Cecily needs a temporary replacement. The agency doesnt have much to offer on short notice during this busy time of year. But they have someone—Beatrice Tucker—who turns out to be more of a curse. She fights with just about everyone, including Archibald Armitage. Star of the London stage, Armitage is staying at the Pennyfoot this holiday season. His presence turns out to be a blessing after he rescues the stable managers dog from drowning in the icy duck pond.
