Hilda Snibbs is a kind and loving mother who is taking her three mischievous monkeys, Toby, Simon, and Charlie, to visit her mother in the country for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. However, things take a hilarious turn when they arrive at their destination.

Toby, the eldest monkey, is determined to make the most of their visit and immediately starts causing trouble. He climbs trees, steals fruit, and even tries to steal a car. Simon, the middle monkey, is a bit more reserved and tries to keep Toby in check, but he is often outsmarted by his mischievous brother. Charlie, the youngest monkey, is just a bundle of energy and is always up for a good laugh.

As the days go by, Hilda and her mother are constantly trying to keep up with Toby's antics. They try to distract him with toys, books, and snacks, but nothing seems to work. The monkeys are determined to have a good time, no matter what it takes.

One day, while Hilda and her mother are out for a walk, Toby and Simon decide to play a prank on Charlie. They hide his favorite toy and watch as he frantically searches for it. Charlie is so distraught that he starts to cry, and Hilda and her mother are left in stitches.

Another day, Toby and Simon decide to go on an adventure. They climb a tree and discover a hidden treasure chest. They are overjoyed and start to dig through the chest, but they soon realize that they have made a mistake. They have accidentally opened a portal to another dimension, and they are sucked into it.

Hilda and her mother are left alone in the countryside, with no idea what has happened to their mischievous monkeys. They spend days searching for them, but they are nowhere to be found.

Just when they think all is lost, Toby and Simon reappear, but they are not alone. They have been transported to a strange and magical world, where they meet a variety of creatures, including talking animals, magical creatures, and even a wizard.

Toby and Simon are thrilled to be in this new world, and they quickly make friends with the creatures they meet. They learn about the different lands and cultures, and they even help to save the kingdom from a dangerous villain.

As their adventure comes to an end, Toby and Simon are sad to leave their new friends behind. They promise to come back and visit them again someday, and they leave the magical world with a newfound appreciation for the world around them.
