What's the Story?
The movie starts with Munchie in big trouble! Because of things he did in his last adventure, he has to go before a special court. This court is led by a powerful being named Kronus.
Munchie's Past Mistakes
The court blames Munchie for many famous disasters throughout history. Can you believe they say he caused the sinking of Atlantis? They also blame him for the crash of the Hindenburg airship. Even the huge eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the Chernobyl nuclear accident are on his record!
A New Mission
As punishment, Munchie is sent to help a single mom named Linda McClelland. Linda has a son named Chris. Guess what? Chris is the only person who can see Munchie! Soon, Munchie and Chris become the best of friends.
Chris plays on a Little League baseball team. He's the pitcher, but another kid, Brett Carlisle, often bullies him. Brett is also Chris's rival for the attention of the girl next door, Jennifer.
Family Troubles and Munchie's Help
Linda, Chris's mom, faces a tough time. Her boss is unfair to her on a business trip and she loses her job. This makes things very hard for Linda and Chris, as they struggle with money.
But Munchie is there to help! He uses his magic to make sure Chris pitches a perfect game. This really impresses Jennifer. Munchie also helps Linda find a bag of money. This money helps them avoid losing their home.
