Ebenizer Tvizer - molodoy 511-letniy muzhchina. Na cherdake svoego osobnyaka on derzhit chudovische, kotoroe pitaetsya proizvedeniyami iskusstva i redkimi zhivotnymi, hotya inogda ne proch polakomitsya kaktusom ili domashnim kotom. Vzamen chudovische izrygaet dlya Ebenizera vsevozmozhnye podarki, vklyuchaya volshebnye zelya, prodlevayuschie molodost i zhizn. No appetity monstra rastut, i odnazhdy on zayavlyaet, chto tolko sochnyy myasistyy rebenok utolit ego golod. Tak v dome Ebenizer poyavlyaetsya sirotka Betani. Ponachalu Ebenizer teshit sebya nadezhdoy, chto nakormit chudovische i ego (ochen dolgaya) zhizn snova potechet svoim cheredom. No Betani nikak nelzya nazvat obychnoy sirotkoy?
