(PRWEB) September 26, 2005 -- Marley is dead...that's an established fact. But what ever happened to Ebenezer Scrooge's mean, sour, pruney old business partner after that? In this holiday comedy, Marley finds himself facing the Record Keeper in the afterlife and is offered one chance to save himself from a wretched eternity. He has twenty-four hours to transform Scrooges miserly heart. With the help of his mischievous celestial guide Bogle, Marley plots to convert his old partner. A delightful journey of redemption, this Carol takes a fresh new look at one of the most loved holiday tales ever written.
