Eloise at Christmastime - Plot / TV movie summary

The story begins with Eloise entering at the Plaza, hiding in a gift box. She is busily preparing for Christmas, while still finding time wreaking mischief at the hotel. The main focal point of the story deals with the impending marriage between Rachel Peabody, the hotel owner’s daughter, and a bachelor named Brooks Oliver, who was chosen by Rachel’s father to be her husband.

Eloise eventually learned that Oliver is into doing something suspicious. She also found out that Rachel had taken a liking with Bill, a room service waiter and one of her friends, four years earlier. When Mr. Peabody became aware of her daughter’s relationship with Bill, he then sent his daughter in a university, hoping to break his daughter’s ties with the waiter. Eloise then intervened with the relationship, much to the disappointment of Rachel’s father.

She then succeeded at restoring Bill and Rachel’s romance with each other; Oliver is then arrested for forgery, and Mrs. Thornton, who was in danger of being evicted, is granted a permanent stay at the Plaza.
