Page "The Nightmare Before Christmas" Paragraph 3

Jack's obsession with Christmas leads him to usurp the role of Santa Claus.

Every resident is assigned a task, while Sally, a rag doll woman who is created by the town's mad scientist, begins to feel a romantic attraction towards Jack.

However, she alone fears that his plans will become disastrous.

Jack assigns Lock, Shock and Barrel, a trio of mischievous children, to abduct Santa and bring him back to Halloween Town.

Against Jack's wishes and largely for their amusement, the trio deliver Santa to Oogie Boogie, a gambling-addict bogeyman who plots to play a game with Santa's life at stake.
