The video introduces a book trailer with a warning about its unpleasant nature, lacking happy endings.

They are sent to live with the sinister Count Olaf, who plots to steal their inheritance. The children's life with Olaf is filled with hardships, and he devises a plan to claim their fortune before Violet turns 18.
