A Twisted Christmas Carol is a Texas spoof of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol. It’s Christmas Eve in a small west Texas town, and cantankerous barbecue joint owner Buford Johnson gets in an argument with his wife Darla, tells her he's skipping Christmas, storms out of the restaurant, goes four-wheeling in his pickup, gets hit by a twister, rolls his truck, and goes into a coma. He comes back in his dream where he's visited by ex-business partner, Hank Walker, who plays the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Hank takes Buford on a journey similar to Scrooge's in A Christmas Carol, only Texas-style.
