Story: | 
Based on the bestselling book series by Daniel Handler, the "Snicket" saga 
revolves around a pint-sized trio of orphans named Sunny, Klaus and Violet who 
find themselves fobbed off on a series of odd people including a paranoid aunt and
a reptile-rearing uncle. The recurring bad guy is a distant family relative named 
Count Olaf, a very bad actor who initially takes in the kids but 
clearly is trying to separate them from a family inheritance.
