Not only do they have to worry about the weird and depressing things that happen at each of these places they get to live at, they also must be on the lookout for the evil Count Olaf who is after their fortune. You see these are not your ordinary orphans, their parents left them a sizable fortune and the evil Count Olaf will stop at nothing to obtain this fortune. Each proceeding book has told a story of how he tries to be cunning and claim the fortune, while the orphans outwit him once again.
A twist does happen in this book when another set of orphans that also have a fortune.
