English musical-comedy star Tommy Steele plays the title role in Quincy's Quest. It's the night before Christmas, and all toy-store rejects are due to be tossed into the furnace. This includes Quincy, a most lifelike doll. In a last-ditch effort to save himself and his "unwanted" chums from incineration, Quincy goes on a long and perilous journey in search of Santa Claus. Charles Morgan narrates this low-key British fantasy, which costars Mel Martin, Frederick Schiller and Gretchen Franklyn. Quincy's Quest was first offered for American TV syndication during the month of December, 1987. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
