On Christmas Eve, he refuses his nephew Fred's invitation, cheats young cowpoke Sam Benson out of his land in a card game, fires his employee Bob Cratchitt, and spends a Christmas Eve dinner at the local brothel, where his deceased partner Marlowe's daughter Erica works as a cook. Besides Marlowe's ghost and the three spirits of Christmas coming to make him repent, Sam challenges Scrooge to a showdown at high noon the following day, which Sam is sure to lose.Not to be confused with Ebenezer, an independent musical prequel also based on A Christmas Carol.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Ebenezer (1998) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: This Scrooge did awful things as a young man as well as in the present day, and will continue to behave monstrously in the future should he not reform. Also, while in the book Scrooge was an honest businessman, in this version he embezzled money from Fezziwig and cheats at cards to screw people out of their money and property. | |

Acid Reflux Nightmare: In this Scrooge dismisses the Ghost of Christmas Present as a case of gas, which the Ghost quickly disproves. | |

Actionized Adaptation | |
| Ebenezer (1998) / int_accd97de | comment |
Actionized Adaptation: In this version Scrooge is an expert marksman. A subplot was added where a young rancher he cheated out of his land challenges him to a showdown, and in the Bad Future Scrooge ruthlessly guns him down. | |
