Sandy didn't expect life to be a free ride, even though his parents are multimillionaires. And he certainly didn't think his greedy uncles would try to kill his family with a drugged birthday cake, which causes only comas for his parents and Attila, their pet chicken. With the help of a loyal butler and a nurse from the asylum next door, Sandy is determined to bring his uncles to justice.

He certainly didn't expect his two money-grubbing uncles to try to kill his family with a drugged birthday cake.
