Plot

The Baudelaire's are taken to their originally intended guardian: Dr. Montgomery Montgomery. They arrive at an ornate mansion and are greeted by the doctor with pieces of coconut cream cake. As Montgomery or Monty gives the children a tour of their new home, they come across a picture of a piano with no one in it. It's the doctors only proof that he knew their parents, explaining that the three of them were hiding in the piano and had unfortunately gotten locked in.

Monty shows the children his reptile room, which is filled with various types of reptiles. He introduces them to the Incredibly Deadly Viper who turns out to be not as deadly as it appears. It takes an instant liking to Sunny as it playfully curls around her. Monty encourages them to make themselves at home and to read as many of the books as they like. It looked like the Baudelaire children's luck was turning...

Until Monty's new assistant, Stephano, arrived at the front door. Stephano is really only a poorly disguised Olaf. The children lock themselves in The Reptile Room and wait there until Monty comes home from the running errands. Monty is possibly the only adult who believes them when they say that Stephano is Olaf. He and the children come up with a plan to get rid of him. They decide to go to the movies and watch a horribly named film called "Zombies in the Snow." Unbeknownst to Stephano, there is a hidden message in the subtitles that instructs Monty to take the children to Peru on the SS Prospero.

After the movie, Monty is kidnapped by Olaf's henchman but not for long. He manages to get free and takes the children home so that they can plan their escape to Peru.
