"Aided by a troupe of theatrical misfits, [Count Olaf] hatches one outrageous plot after another to get his hands on the orphan's vast inheritance, like the one involving the train."
Wait, it gets weirder.
"After not being run over by a train, the orphans are removed from Count Olaf's care and go to live with their Uncle Monty, a renowned snake expert. Things go badly after the arival of a suspicious lab assistant named Stephano, a phrase which here means 'Count Olaf in disguise with baldness, a long beard and no eyebrow'." Ok, that's normal. "The children are then shuffled off to their fearful Aunt Josephine's. Sadly, disaster ensues, due to the appearance of a mysterious peg-legged sailor, an expression which here means 'Would Jim Carrey with a peg-leg fool you?'" Normal, but here's where it's weird: "Alarmingly, Count Olaf then hatches his most dastardly plot of all - a play whose real-life conclusion will give him control of the Baudelaire fortune!"
No. No no no. Lemony Snicket Daniel Handler is on the writing thingo, he should NOT be allowing this!
