Plot
Between the Lions is about a family of lions who live in a library known as the Barnaby B. Busterfield III Memorial Public library. The beastly father Theodore (Theo) is the head of the family and the loving mother is Cleopatra (Cleo). They have two cubs, the seven-year-old Lionel, who is fun-loving, and four year old Leona, who is just learning to read. Despite being lions, the lions are actually very nice, friendly, and helpful to the library's patrons, which include people, monkeys, and chickens. The library features a lot of regular patrons including Walter and Clay Pigeons, which often annoy the statue of Mr. Busterfield himself, as well as Babs Caplan, an aspiring writer who often has trouble coming up with new stories. Each episode always includes a story which is read out, and a similar situation occurring in the library, often to much chaos.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
