Left in the care of a banker, they are sent to live with a distant relative, the greedy and sinister Count Olaf, who has no interest in them beyond the enormous fortune they stand to inherit.
Living in Olaf’s grim house and forced to do his chores, the three siblings must rely on Violet’s inventing skills, Klaus’s love of books and Sunny’s sharp teeth to outwit him. As Olaf’s schemes grow more dangerous, they discover that the adults around them are not much help.
