 Tagline: You'll learn to love her. Warts and all.
The seven Brown children - Simon, Tora, Eric, Lily, Christianna, Sebastian and Baby Aggy - may well be the naughtiest children in the history of the world. Their beleaguered father, Mr. Brown, has his hands full taking care of his troublesome offspring by working long days at the local funeral parlour.
The children's mother died only a year ago but Mr Brown's imperious Aunt Adelaide, who supplements his inadequate wages, has threatened to cut off her allowance to the family unless Mr. Brown remarries within a month. Debtor's prison awaits him if he doesn't comply, and the fate of the children would be unimaginable.
Mr Brown decides not to tell the children but they find out and assume he doesn't care enough about them to tell them they're about to have a new stepmother. As a result, their behaviour worsens, and their acts of outrageous mischief send yet another nanny screaming from the house. Simon, the oldest boy and the leader of the pack, keeps a chart showing the amount of time it's taken to drive away each of their 17 nannies along with the act of mischief that did the trick.
