Erik Lund is a professor in child psychology. When his sister and her husband go on vacation, he is left in charge of their five children. He really feels up to it, since he is now going to be able to try out his skills in child psychology. However, reality is something else than theory and children do not always do as they are supposed to, according to his book on child psychology. The children soon fool him into doing as they please when it comes to food and pleasures. (imdb)

A father misses the plane and the children find themselves alone in Cairo. Their arch nemesis Mrs Flinth has also gone to Cairo. Mrs Flinth agrees to look after the children during their stay in Egypt, but she drives a hard bargain. She wants to take them to boring museums and lectures, while they want to swim in the pool, go to the camel race, fight alligators, and throw some bearded dudes in the Nilo instead of themselves.
