- Synopsis
- The Three Wise Men are true superheroes and, as such, they have powers and dual identities. They can transform at will, but during Christmas at 12 o'clock at night they are obliged to transform, wherever they are. This causes more than one compromising situation with the people they live with in the real world and in particular the three children who follow them closely.
  The Three Kings access their magical world through the Tío Pepe billboard, located on the rooftops of Puerta del Sol. The place where the toys are made is a huge mansion with a Mozarabic air where the pages work hard, the camels transport gifts and the letters arrive incessantly... The magical paradise where the dreams of millions of children are made.
  But this year the Three Wise Men feel like old glories in the face of the growing popularity of Santa Claus. They denounce his cultural intrusiveness in front of the C.H.U.S.M.A., Universal Commission and Brotherhood of Magical Beings (there meet the people in charge of giving toys at Christmas all over the world, like Snegúrochka, Russian snow maiden, the Basque Olentzero, the Befana of Italy...) But the kings do not feel listened to and decide to take action...
  The kings rebuke Santa Claus to take him down a peg, but what begins as a dialectic fight ends up being a great pitched battle.
  This epic fight is taken advantage of by the Krampus, a demonic creature that represents the spirit of anti-Christmas, an evil being that feeds on hatred, rivalry and low passions.
  Thanks to this rivalry, the Krampus manages to kidnap Santa Claus and from here on chaos is unleashed in the magical world. It is the 24th and Santa Claus has disappeared. All suspicion falls on the kings, his declared rivals, and if Santa does not appear Christmas is over and of course the Kings will be expelled forever.
  The Wise Men realize that they are in serious trouble: they have to find Santa urgently. Christmas and their own lives are in grave danger.
