Synopsis

Arabel and her mischievous raven, Mortimer, spend an eventful evening with their favourite babysitter, Chris Cross. A playful game leads to a series of mishaps, including Mortimer getting a trumpet stuck on his head. While out replacing spilled milk, Arabel's parents return to find the house empty and in disarray. Fearing the worst, they suspect a connection to a black mamba that has escaped from the zoo. Unaware of the panic they've caused, Arabel, Mortimer, and Chris continue their night of unintended chaos.
