The late 1800's. Ebenezer Blackadder, unlike his eminent ancestors, is a kind, generous man. One Christmas Eve, he's visited by a ghostly apparation who shows him how awful his famous ancestors were. He also gives Ebenezer a preview of things to come. Blackadder comes to the conclusion that his ancestors were right to be horrid, and vows to change his ways and become as awful as them.
