(the film opens with a live-action stock footage of snowstorm and the newspaper articles appears on screen such as "Col Wave in 12th Day", "Were Frozen", "Ice Peril Warning", "Tough Going! Sanitation Army Digging Us Out" and "Foul Weather May Postpone Christmas". Then the footage fades to a snowfall background with signs reads "Dora Wilson and Rankin/Bass Presents" before it fades to a stop-motion snowy world where we see a snowman wearing a waist coat, a bowler hat and carryng his umbrella, walking)

Snowman: (to the audience) If I Iive to be a hundred, I'II never be abIe to forget that big snowstorm... a couple of years ago. The weather closed in, and, weII, you might not beIieve it, but the worId aImost missed Christmas. Oh, excuse me. CaII me Sam. What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen a taIking snowman before? Nice around here, isn't it? I caII it Christmas Town, better known as the North PoIe. (walk pass the forest of Christmas trees) The Christmas Tree Forest. Yep, here's where we grow them. Nice place to Iive, you know. Christmas seaIs. (seals barking while playing with presents) The number-one citizens up here are the CIauses: Santa and the mrs. (a camera quickly pans to a right to a castle) They Iive right over there, first castIe on the Ieft. Matter of fact, the onIy castle on the Ieft. (chuckles)

(the scene fades inside a castle to see a skinny Santa, who is about to dine with his meal, and his wife Mrs. Claus who is beside him with a red coat she holding)

Mrs. Claus: Papa, you haven't touched a morsel! I'll have to take this suit in! Eat!

Santa Claus: I'm busy, Mama! It's almost Christmas!

Mrs. Claus: Whoever heard of a skinny Santa? Eat! Eat!

Sam the Snowman: Now don't any of you worry your heads about Santa. Mrs. Claus will have him plenty fattened up by Christmas Eve. It's always the same story. Ahh... I Love this Christmasy time of year, especially when everything is running happy and smooth... like it is this season. Nothing like that year of the big snowstorms. Brr! I don't know what we would have done... without Rudolph to pull us through. Anyway...hmm, Rudolph? Could it be some of you are not acquainted... with the story of Rudolph? Well, pull up an ice block and lend an ear (he pulls an ice cube toward him and puts down his umbrella). Now, you know how Santa uses these flying reindeer... to pull his sleigh. You know Dasher and Dancer... and Prancer and Vixen... Comet and Cupid... and Donner and Blitzen... (singing) ♪But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all?♪ (the opening credit begin, with a sign says "Burl Ives Tells the Story of", a title card "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" with "Color by Technicolor" and along with list of people who worked on the film before the credit ends and continues a film) Well, now, let me tell you about Rudolph. It all started a couple of years before the big snow. (the scene fades to a cave, lived by two reindeer and their newborn fawn) It was springtime, and Santa's Lead reindeer Donner... had just become a proud papa.

Donner: Nah, we'll call him Rudolph.

Donner's wife: Rudolph is a lovely name. Rudolph.Donner: (as a baby reindeer, with his big red nose, wakes up from his slumber and looks at him) Hey, hey! He knows his name already!

Rudolph: (his red nose suddenly glows bright like a light) Papa. Mama.

Donner's wife: (in awe) He's.. He's got a shiny noise.Donner: Sh-sh-shiny? I'd even say it glows!

(Rudolph's nose shines three times)

Donner's wife: Well, we'll simply have to overlook it.Donner: How can you overlook that? His beak blinks like a blinking beacon!

Santa Claus: Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Well, Donner, where's the new member of the family? After all, if he's going to be on my team someday, he'd better get to know me. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. (to Rudolph) Well, hi there. Aren't you the sturdy little fellow? Ho, ho, ho, ho.Rudolph: Santa?

Santa Claus: (chuckles) And smart too. (Rudolph's nose shines, much to Santa's amazement) Great bouncing iceberg!
