- The only thing Harold the Turtle wants for Christmas is a shell, because not having one has made him a lonely outcast. Finding an army helmet as a substitute, Harold's Christmas wish comes true.

- A turtle named Harold was unfortunate enough to be born without a shell. Because of this, despite having many talents because of his lack of one, every other turtle looks down upon him. As such, a vulture aptly named Monsieur Volture helps Harold get over his depression by finding him a shell, ultimately giving him an army helmet from the dump. But while this does gain Harold respect (While going under the uninspired alias, 'Bob'), things take a surprising turn when he finds himself needing to sacrifice his new identity to save a drowning child. As such, he gives up his new shell and rescues the kid, and while some of the citizens have trouble trusting him at first, they soon realized that what makes him different just helped him save a life. As such, Harold is finally accepted for who he is as it turns out this was Volture's plan all along.
