| Sommario/riassunto: | The true story of John Duval Gluck, Jr., who in 1913 founded the Santa Claus Association, which had the sole authority to answer Santa's mail in New York City. He made the myth of Santa a reality to poor children, until a crusading charity commissioner exposed Gluck as a fraud. |
