In this sequel to A Whole Nother Story, the pompous and ever-unhelpful Dr. Soup narrates the Cheeseman siblings' travails as they hurtle across space and time to prevent a centuries-old curse and save their mother. Meanwhile, their circus friends gleefully return to piracy and old foes resurface. The story gallops from one zany, ill-fated event to the next, thinly tethered to coherence.
