Once upon a very badly behaved time, 511-year-old Ebenezer kept a beast in his attic. He would feed the beast all manner of objects and creatures, and in return, the beast would vomit him up expensive presents. But then The Bethany arrived. Now 10-year-old notorious prankster Bethany, along with her new feathery friend Claudette, is determined that she and Ebenezer are going to DE-BEAST their lives and do good. But Bethany finds that being a notorious prankster makes it hard to get taken on for voluntary work. And Ebenezer is secretly missing the beast's vomity gifts. 

Ebenezer Tweezer is a youthful 511-year-old. He keeps a beast in the attic of his mansion, who he feeds all manner of things (including performing monkeys, his pet cat and the occasional cactus) and in return the beast vomits out presents for Ebenezer, as well as potions which keep him young and beautiful. But the beast grows ever greedier, and soon only a nice, juicy child will do. So when Ebenezer encounters orphan Bethany, it seems like (everlasting) life will go on as normal. But Bethany is not your average orphan. 

Das Biest scheint besiegt zu sein und Bethany und Ebenezer sind wahre Freunde geworden. Ende gut, alles gut - oder? Von wegen! Von nun an wollen die beiden "gute Menschen" werden und alle Spuren des Biests beseitigen. Im Rahmen der großen Entbiesterung werden die vielen glamourösen Geschenke des Biests kurzerhand für kleines Geld an die Nachbarschaft verkauft. Weg mit den schlimmen Erinnerungen! Doch Ebenezer vermisst seinen luxuriösen Lebensstil schnell und auch Bethany fehlen ihre fiesen Streiche.

Nachdem sie das Biest mit vereinten Kräften verjagt haben, leben Bethany und Ebenezer ihr bestes bestienfreies Leben! In Miss Muddles Süßigkeitenladen stellt Bethany allerlei süße Kreationen her und Ebenezer betreibt nun einen Wohltätigkeitsverein, obgleich er immer noch nicht besonders gut darin ist, so richtig gut zu sein. Aber da das Biest nie dazu bestimmt war, lange eingesperrt zu bleiben, taucht es urplötzlich wieder auf! Bethany und Ebenezer erleben ihre bisher schlimmste Überraschung.

After controlling Ebenezer Tweezer for 511 years and trying to eat Bethany twice, the beast is safely locked up…for about five minutes. Soon the world’s most despicable creature is out of its cage and back in Ebenezer’s attic. But there’s something different about the beast now—it’s calling everyone its bestie and vomiting up lovely gifts for the neighbours. In the most disturbing turn of events yet, has the beast turned…nice?
