Rumor tells of a rebels' victory at Shrewsbury; the elder Percy learns otherwise.  The rebels are defeated and his son, Hotspur, lies cold in death. We see Falstaff complaining about others making jokes at his expense. " I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men."

Video version of the play is currently at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keJ9vGZ1gL0 . New version from the Royal Sharkespeare Company. Very good.

The King forces and the rebels fight a long hour by Shrewsbury clock.  Prince Hal kills Hotspur but Falstaff take credit. The play ends with rebels still to be dealt with.

Price Hal challenges Hotspur to single combat.  Falstaff's great "Honour" speech.

Scrooge returns, resolves to keep Christmas, and enters fully and joyfully into Christmas merriment and generosity.

The rebels and King Henry move towards battle.  Prince Hal gives Falstaff a commission and he uses it to accept bribes and recruit dregs.

King Henry upbraids Prince Hal, while admitting he stole the crown.  The Prince promises to reform. 

The Ghost of Christmas yet to come shows Scrooge his apparent death and lack of mourners.  Tiny Tim is gone as well!

Falstaff and Prince Hal exchange roles of King Henry and the Prince, with Falstaff pleading not to be banished. The rebels divide the kingdom they have yet to win.

Falstaff tells a tale of how he fought a great number of men who robbed him. When confronted with the truth, Falstaff claims he instintively knew it was actually Price Hal: "The lion will not touch the true prince."  The king sends for Hal to help him confront the growing rebellion.

The Ghost of Christmas present continues to show Scrooge scenes, including celebrations in mining country, in a lighthouse, and on a ship.  Scrooge is delighted with his nephew's party.  The clock strikes twelve and he meets the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.
