Story
The cartoon begins in a dog's paradise, where Annabelle tells the angel puppies about an incident that happened on Christmas Day. This Christmas, as expected, in the cafe "Flea Bite" was preparing for the holiday, however, Carpheis and Killer suddenly appear and begin to spoil everything. At one point, Carpheis pulls out a magical whistle and blows into it, thereby introducing everyone present in a trance. Then Carpheis and Killer collect all the Christmas presents and leave, and the dogs that have regained consciousness do not understand anything.
Charlie and Itchi go to the Carpheis pawnshop to collect all the loot. Once inside, Beladonna appears and reveals her sinister plan, according to which all domestic dogs should get Christmas presents out of the house after she starts the whistle, the same as Carpheus, only much more. Thus, domestic dogs must be expelled by the owners for such behavior. Beladonna does not name the place where the whistle is and, using demons, drives Charlie and Itchi away.
Having got out, Charlie begins to think how to prevent Beladonna, but realizes that she can not do anything until she finds out where the whistle is. Then Annabelle appears and gives her friends a “wizard” - a magic token of guardian angels. Charlie decides to use Carpheis to destroy Beladonna's plans, as closest to her. He uses the Wizard and plays the show in front of Carthus, as if three Christmas spirits come to him: the Spirit of the Christmas past, the Spirit of the Christmas present, the Spirit of the Christmas future. Each spirit came after a bell.
The first comes the Spirit of the Christmas past, played by Itchi. Itchi shows the childhood of Carpheis and it becomes clear why Carpheus hates Christmas. For bad Carfeis tricks, they kicked out of the house at Christmas and the boy who took care of him did not make any efforts to leave the puppy. Thus Carfeis gets into a bad company and becomes a bad dog. Itchi could not convince Carpheis.
The second comes the Spirit of the Christmas present, played by Sasha. Sasha shows Carfeis how Killer loves and respects him, who is preparing him a Christmas present. Then they move to the house where Timmy puppy lives, who has a sore paw. They put aside money for treating Timmy's paws at the Flea Bite Cafe, but Carpheis and Killer recently took them away.
They catch Timmy when he smashes a plate. Carfeys is hurt, because it was because of his pranks that he was kicked out of the house, and believes that the same will happen with Timmy. However, Timmy is protected by his mistress to the surprise of Carpheis. Sasha managed to touch Carfeys, but nevertheless he does not care about what could happen.
Third comes the Spirit of the Christmas future, played by Charlie. Charlie in his song tells what will happen to the soul of Carpheis for his bad deeds. Thus Carpheis begin to overcome doubts.
Meanwhile, Beladonna is ready to start the whistle, which was on Alcatraz. When Carpheis arrives at Alcatraz, he begins to think and still decides to stop Beladonna, because Timmy does not want what happened to him when he was a puppy. After the whistle starts, the Beladonna plan begins. After several unsuccessful attempts, Carpheis still manages to ruin the whistle. An enraged Beladonna is trying to kill Carpheis, but Annabelle appears here and easily defeats her cousin, falling asleep with snow. Hypnotized dogs return home and snow falls.
At the celebration of Christmas in the flea bite cafe, Carpheis appears on a sleigh in the image of Santa Claus and returns everything he has taken, as well as donates money for treating Timmy's paws, then he leaves to visit his mother.
On this, Anabel ends her story and wishes everyone a Merry Christmas.
