After the Baudelaire siblings parents are tragically killed in a house fire, they’re sent to live with their distant relative Count Olaf. After they arrive Olaf introduces himself to the children, he comes off as very eccentric and over the top. But it’s clear he can flip a switch at the drop of a hat, whether it be hitting one of the kids, or even threatening to stab one of them. After weeks of working for Olaf in his house, the siblings find evidence that Olaf might’ve been the man involved for killing their parents. Turns out he’s not even related to them at all, he forged paperwork making it look like he was their uncle. He’s really in it for the money the life insurance company will give him, once the siblings find this out they leave. However Olaf continues to track them down all across the globe, donning different disguises in order to capture them.
