The Adventures of Mrs. Flibbertigibbet's Synopsis:
Meet Mrs.Flibbertigibbet, an absentminded witch married to a lazy and insensitive husband, Viscount Charles Waternuts. Tired of her life in the castle, she packs up and sets off to Hawaii. On her journey, she meets Sir Edward, an ancient knight; Ammunkat, a pharaoh's cat buried in an Egyptian tomb; and Mr. Unbearable, a bear who suffers from insomnia. Together they discover the meaning of true friendship and encounter the Evil Queen of Cups in Wonderland.
However, her predicaments do not end there as she must fix her husband’s imbroglios with her parents when they come to visit them and scape from Duke Herman Van Mosquindrakula, a vampire who turns himself into a mosquito and is afraid of the sight of blood! He falls madly in love with Mrs. Flibbertigibbet as they both share the taste for eye-frog cereal so he will try the most ridiculous and unsuccessful ways to get rid of Charles.
