Tuhia he tohutoro mo tenei whitianga - Ko Mortimer Brewster, he kaituhi kua maha nga wa i whakahe i te marenatanga hei "whakaaro tawhito", ka aroha ki a Elaine Harper, te tamahine a te minita i tipu ake i te taha o tona taha. I te rā o Halloween, ka marenatia a Mortimer rāua ko Elaine. Ka haere a Elaine ki te whare o tona papa ki te korero ki tona papa me te kohikohi mo te marama honi ka hoki a Mortimer ki a Abby me Martha, nga kuia i whakatipu i a ia i te kaainga tawhito o te whanau. Ko te tuakana o Mortimer, ko Teddy, e whakapono ana ko ia a Theodore Roosevelt, e noho ana ki a raua. I nga wa katoa e eke ana a Teddy ki runga, ka karanga ia, "Ka whakaekea!" ka eke ki te pikitanga o te pikitanga, e whakaata ana i te whakaekenga rongonui a Roosevelt ki runga ki San Juan Hill
