It's almost Christmas, 1972. Danny and his folks brave a near-blizzard to drive to a department store in Racine, Wisconsin, where he hopes to connect with a coveted Mego Batman and Robin action set... but instead, something strange happens. His father is developing one of his typical rages and the store shelves are empty of every toy Danny would like, but that's not all... a bullying security guard and voices in his head change Danny this day -- and "The Christmas Mummy" will change him forever...
