Willie T. Stokes Billy Bob Thornton and his dwarfed assistant Marcus Tony Cox are professional thieves. Every year, Willie disguises himself as a department store Santa Claus and Marcus disguises himself as an elf in order for both of them to rob shopping malls blind at night. Marcus takes his duty as an elf extremely seriously, but Willie is an alcoholic, a sex addict, and is gradually unable to perform his Santa duties appropriately with children, much to Marcus dismay. When they are hired at the fictional Saguaro Square Mall in Phoenix, the vulgar remarks made by Willie shock the prudish mall manager Bob Chipeska John Ritter, who brings it to the attention of security chief Gin Slagel Bernie Mac.At the mall, Willie is visited by Thurman Merman Brett Kelly, a friendly but exceedingly naive and gullible, overweight boy who thinks Willie is really Santa. Thurman is a constant target of bullying by a teenage gang of skateboarders. At a bar, Willie meets Sue Lauren Graham, a woman with a Santa Claus fetish, and they begin a sexual relationship. Willie is harassed by a man in the bar, but Thurman intervenes. Willie gives Thurman a ride home, then enters the boys house where he lives with his senile grandmother Cloris Leachman. Thurman reveals that his mother died, and his father, Roger, is away exploring mountains meaning he is actually in jail for embezzlement until next year. Willie tricks Thurman into letting him steal from the house safe and steals a BMW owned by Thurmans father. ........
