Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn) is indignant to find that the man assigned to play Santa in the annual Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade (Percy Helton) is intoxicated. When he complains to event director Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara), she persuades Kris to take his place. He does so well, he is hired to play Santa at Macy 's flagship New York City store on 34th Street.
