Story:

A Jetsons Christmas Carol:

It is Christmas Eve in Orbit City, and the Jetsons are planning to celebrate it as a family. However, George and the other employees of Spacely Space Sprockets are hounded by the intergalactic Scrooge, Mr. Spacely, who detests the holiday season so much that he forces George to work overtime, late into the night.

Meanwhile, Jane and the children head out to do some last-minute Christmas shopping at the mall. Astro takes a peek at the Christmas presents underneath the tree. He opens his present early and finds a robot cat that he really enjoys chasing. However, he soon crashes into a wall doing so, which also wrecks the toy. In the process, Astro accidentally swallows one of the toy’s gears, which causes him to become deathly ill. When George finally gets home, he discovers what has happened to Astro, and it seems there is no hope for his beloved friend, since all the veterinarian offices and pet hospitals have closed early for Christmas Eve.

Back at Spacely’s plant, Spacely counts his money and decides to take a small nap before thinking about making any bank deposits. Hovering between dreams and reality, he is suddenly visited by the ghost of his old, previously unmentioned business partner, Marsley The ghost warns Spacely that three more ghosts will visit during the night to show him the error of his ways. Before long, the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Yet-to-Be follow suit.

The Ghost of Christmas Past, a living, talking adding machine, shows Spacely that his younger self was as selfish and cheap as he is now, and then reveals the time when Spacely, as a young adult, almost drove his wife-to-be away due to his love of money. After the first spirit’s visit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, who turns out to be a talking gift box wrapped with a bow, shows Spacely that the Jetsons are sadly watching Astro suffer in excruciating pain and are also facing the thought of losing him.

Then, when Spacely attempts to escape with his money, the Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Be, who resembles an archaic Babbage thinking machine, shows Spacely the future. He believes that his future looks bright when he sees a large mansion, but he gets the shock of his life when he discovers that it belongs to the Jetsons. He also realizes that George had sued Spacely Sprockets for the death of his dog and best friend, Astro, because Spacely Sprockets had made the gear that Astro swallowed, and it ended up killing him.

After realizing that he would be ruined, Spacely hurries to the Jetsons’ apartment, bringing along his personal veterinarian, who extracts the sprocket from Astro’s stomach and cures him. He also presents Jane, Judy, Elroy, Rosie, and Orbitty with the gifts they wanted for Christmas. As for George, Spacely promises him a big raise and leaves, wishing the Jetsons a Merry Christmas. As Spacely leaves, the family sings “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. Astro sings the final line and smiles.

Haunted Halloween:

George Jetson tells his son Elroy and their pet alien Orbitty a scary story about a monster called The Creeper. His wife Jane arrives and, ignoring George’s pleas, puts a stop to the story. Jane says that the story will give Elroy and Orbitty nightmares. Although Elroy sleeps soundly, Orbitty does indeed have a nightmare. He dreams that the Jetsons live in an old dark house, that George and Judy are vampires, Elroy is a mummy, and Jane is a witch. Jane enters the room carrying a large cauldron, saying that it contains a meal prepared by their new chef The Creeper. She lifts the lid on the cauldron and a large green monster emerges, at which point Orbitty wakes up in terror.

The following day, Dr. Scarem, the owner of Scarem’s Costume Shop and Waxite Museum and apparently a mad scientist, and his assistant Edgar, a hunchbacked robot who only has one functioning eye, are trying to activate the Moon Monster, a Frankenstein’s monster-like robot. When they get the Moon Monster to work, it begins to dance instead of doing anything frightening. Dr. Scarem worries that without any frightening exhibits for his museum, he will soon be forced out of business. He sees Elroy and Orbitty arrive at his store on a monitor. Dr. Scarem is immediately intrigued by the alien creature and thinks that he has finally come across something that could make his fortune. Elroy introduces himself to Dr. Scarem and says that he and Orbitty have come looking for costumes. Orbitty immediately feels uncomfortable and tries to flee from the store. Edgar chases after the alien and Elroy but they escape and reach home safely.

Meanwhile, George Jetson has been practicing for a magic show which he hopes to perform at the upcoming Halloween party. His boss, Cosmo Spacely, is unwilling to let him perform such a show because his tricks have not gone well in previous years. He agrees when George says that he can fire him if the show does not go well. Spacely receives a call from his rival H.G. Cogswell, owner of the competing company Cogswell’s Cogs. Cogswell reminds Spacely that each year they have a bet on which of the two of them will have the best Halloween costume and that each year Cogswell wins. Spacely declares that he is confident that he will win this year and is willing to bet ten thousand dollars on it. After the call is over, Spacely realizes the enormity of the bet. George tells him not to worry because he knows of a shop that makes special costumes to order.

George arrives at Dr. Scarem’s store, but Scarem announces that he cannot serve George because he will soon be going out of business. When, George mentions that his name is Jetson, Scarem and Edgar suddenly change their attitude. They find out that he is indeed the father of Elroy and the owner of Orbitty. George explains that he needs a costume for his boss and a new magic trick. Scarem says that he gives magic lessons and offers to go to George’s house that night to give him a free lesson.

At the Jetsons’ home, Scarem explains that he is going to perform a trick in which he and Orbitty will change places. Instead of changing places, they both disappear in a puff of smoke. Elroy tells his father that Scarem is going to turn Orbitty into a statue for his museum. George goes straight to Scarem’s store, demanding that Orbitty not be harmed, and discovers the truth. Scarem has no wish to turn Orbitty into a statue, he merely wants to use him as the model for a new costume, which he is sure will be a great success.

At the Halloween party, George’s magic show goes well, and Spacely is confident that his new Orbitty costume will be better than whatever Cogswell wears. Cogswell arrives in an identical costume. He reminds Spacely that in the event of a draw, the previous year’s winner wins the bet again. Spacely is furious with George because of the costume he selected for him. Realizing that Spacely would like him to disappear, George tries to preempt him by using magic to make himself vanish. George’s magic backfires and Spacely disappears instead, although George believes that the disappearance will be only temporary.
