It is said that a stingy man met three ghosts (yesterday, today and tomorrow) on Christmas Eve. They showed that if he remained so stingy, the future would be miserable. So his conscience found that he became very kind and generous to others.
This story will often be remake many times.
I saw a version when I was a child. It was black-and-white film's version.
Then Jim Carrey has an animated version called a Christmas Carol.
1945 there is a miser, which is also the story.
