The Cheeseman family meets a cast of quirky characters and villains as they try to keep their time machine, the LVR-ZX, out of the wrong hands and travel back in time to save their mother, who's been poisoned. Fans of the incoherent adventure series will enjoy this installment filled with the usual brazen advice of Lemony Snicket–esque narrator, Dr. Cuthbert Soup.
