Olive, the Other Reindeer

Olive and Martini the penguin get on a bus to get to the North Pole. Olive is stopped by the postman and Martini must save her. Olive gets on the bus with Martini and meets bus driver Richard Stands. Later the bus stops at Aortic Junction, where the postman meets up with them; disguised as a waitress, he tricks and captures Olive. Locked in the back of the postman's truck, Olive finds a package to her from Deus ex Machina (which describes an artificial or improbable character, device, or event introduced suddenly in a work of fiction or drama to resolve a situation or untangle a plot). She uses the metal file inside to escape. When she gets back to Aortic Junction, she finds out she and Martini have missed the bus to the North Pole. They hitch a ride from a man in a bar named Round John Virgin. When they arrive at the pole, the guard at the gate won't let them in. Martini leaves the guard a watch that says it is from Santa Claus. Martini pretends he is a watch-repairman, and tricks the guard into turning off the alarms on the fence so Olive can get inside. Olive meets Santa Claus and Santa gives her the job. When they get to the first house, they discover that the postman had taken the toys and replaced them with junk mail. Olive leads Santa to the postman to get back the presents and finds out that the postman took Martini too. The postman gets defeated and Olive saves Christmas.
