When Lord Anthony Norwood is told by his father to find a wealthy fiancée by Christmas or risk being disinherited, Anthony does what he always does when faced with an important problem; he asks his butler, Henry, to handle it.
Which would work out perfectly if the loyal Henry hadn't been secretly in love with Anthony for years...
With the first snowflakes beginning to fall, Henry is running out of time to decide which is worse, seeing the man he loves destitute on the streets of Victorian Era London or watching Anthony get his happily ever after with someone else while Henry is left out in the cold.

When Teddy agrees to pretend to be his famous sister and take her role in a Christmas panto, he thinks his largest problem is going to be fitting into the costume tights without making it very clear to the audience it’s a man playing the part.
When flowers and letters start arriving at his dressing room from a secret admirer, he knows they’re actually meant for his sister, but he can’t help dreaming they’re for him. The whole thing has him so distracted that he crashes into the same man waiting outside the stage door not once, but twice.
Each time he runs into Dr. Basil Goodall, Teddy is charmed by the handsome, witty man. He wishes the secret admirer could be someone like him, even though he knows that’s impossible.
With the final curtain about to fall, Teddy faces losing both his time with Basil and his dream of a secret admirer. But maybe with a little Christmas magic, this fairy tale can still find its happily ever after.
