A town of merry Christmas-lovers called the Whos goes about their annual holiday preparations. Up in the caves north of their town, though, lives a character named the Grinch who absolutely hates Christmas. The Grinch has had enough of this Christmas business and he sets about trying to ruin it for the Whos. He sneaks into all of their homes and steals their Christmas decorations, meals, and gifts. He then takes his loot up to Mt. Crumpit and pre-pares to throw it off the side of the mountain.

But the Grinch hears a sound coming from Who-ville—the sound of all the Whos joining together in song despite the fact that their homes have been ransacked and their gifts are all gone. Finally, the Grinch feels a little remorse and perhaps some of the Christmas spirit, so he brings back all the things that he stole. He arrives in time to join in on the Christmas festivities.
