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:
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“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)
““The plot thickens,” he said, as I entered.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
