Justice Strauss agrees that this invalidates the marriage. Violet interrupts to proclaim that the marriage was not legally binding, as she signed with her left hand despite being right-handed. Poe both object, but concede that the law requires them to hand over the Baudelaire fortune to Olaf. Klaus is brought up to the tower and they are locked together in the room until the play begins.Īfter Violet signs the marriage document, Olaf interrupts to tell the audience that their wedding was legally binding. She finds the hook-handed man (a member of Olaf's theater troupe) waiting to capture her. Violet constructs a makeshift grappling hook and uses it to climb the tower. He threatens to kill her if Klaus and Violet do not follow his plan. He confronts Olaf, who gets one of his associates to put Sunny in a birdcage, dangling from outside the window of his tower. Klaus learns that the marriage in the play will be legally binding, meaning Olaf will gain control of their fortune. The children realize something is amiss and use the library of their friendly but credulous and inept neighbor, Justice Strauss, to research law. Olaf demands that the children perform in his new play in which Violet will marry Olaf. The children remind him that he never asked them to make roast beef, and Olaf becomes angry, lifting Sunny into the air and striking Klaus across the face after Klaus tells everyone Count Olaf has given them only one bed. They make puttanesca, but when Olaf arrives, he demands roast beef. One day, the Baudelaires are set the task of making dinner for Olaf and his theater troupe. It becomes clear that Count Olaf is scheming to collect the Baudelaire's fortune.

They are placed in the care of Count Olaf, said to be a distant relative although the children had never heard of him before. Poe, that their parents have died in a fire that destroyed their home. While they were at Briny Beach, the children are told by a family friend, Mr. Violet Baudelaire is fourteen years old and loves creating amazing inventions Klaus Baudelaire is twelve and an obsessive reader Sunny Baudelaire is a baby and has several surprisingly large and sharp buck teeth.
