| Synopsis | Fredric, a young boy, works as apprentice for a "crusty old baker" who doesn't bake holiday cookies. When the baker has to leave to visit his brother, he leaves Fredric in charge of the bakery for a week. Fredric gives a loaf of bread to an old woman and in return, the woman teaches him how to bake Christmas cookies. The cookies are a big success and even the Princess orders a tray of cookies. However, the baker returns and flies into a rage when he learns that Fredric has baked cookies and dismisses him. When the Princess returns for the cookies, the baker refuses her and that makes the King angry. He orders the baker to make cookies or be banished. The baker spends the night trying to bake cookies, but fails. Late at night the old woman brings Fredric back to the bakery to bake the cookies that will save the baker from banishment. The baker learns a lesson and both he and Fredric are rewarded by the King. |
