Elementary school, middle school.
Christmas is coming to the Peaceful Valley Orphanage where kindly Mrs. Frump is in charge of a gaggle of rowdy kids. Frump decides that her orphans need real homes and real families to fill the emptiness in their lives, so on the day before Christmas she sets off to deliver them to their destinations. Trouble is she hasn’t checked it out with the busybodies on her board of trustees. Soon, what began as a simple bus ride turns into a harum-scarum adventure as Frump and her orphans are pursued by the busybodies— and the suspicious Sheriff Snodgrass.
