Little Helper at a world renowned toy workshop. Little does he realise that this factory has a darksecret. His colleagues are slowly going missing and there is an ominous locked door in thefactory that he has seen people enter but never leave from. When he arrives he is ushered into aroom with balloons and a banner saying Congratulations! You have been chosen! A workerallocates their work and sets the rules.
His suspicions are first aroused when one of his co-workers goes missing. More interns joins thefactory each week but more of his previous co-workers disappear with no warning.
He sees workers in hazard suits enter the mysterious door daily and becomes more and morecurious, until a worker leaves the mysterious door ajar and he seizes his opportunity to scramblethrough, only to discover a terrible secret. The room is filled with ceiling to floor cutesifiers
turning his old coworkers into overly cute elf figures. Huge tubes with his old co-workers areseen, connected to vats of liquid with signs saying sugar, spice and everything nice. Othersare strapped into chairs with large balloons floating above.
He runs out only to have Santa appear. Santa places his hand on his shoulder and says Son,where did you think all the elves came from?. Finally we see Jake undergo the finaltransformation from human to elf.
