Opus the Penguin is wrestling with an unfulfilled wish to soar through the air like any other self-respecting bird and decides there is only one person who can make his aeronautic dream come true: Father Christmas. Bill the Cat coughs up a wild idea that just may bring a holiday miracle, but when old St. Nick finds himself in hot water on December 24th, the fate of Christmas itself suddenly depends on the kind of heroism that only comes in a penguin-sized package.

Title from container. Adapted from the book A wish for wings that work by Berkeley Breathed. Originally broadcast on television in 1991.
