SUPERBABIES: BABY GENIUSES 2

Category: Edition 2004

Synopsis

The fate of every baby in the world is at stake. The chairman of a powerful communications empire wants to control the hearts and minds of every child in the world, and only one baby can stop him. At the Bobbins World day care centre in Beverly Hills, baby Archie Fisher tells the exciting, unbelievable story of the Kahuna. Part James Bond, part Rambo, he is a sort of “superspy” infant who has lived over fifty years, yet his body hasn’t aged a day. The Kahuna is a shadow, an enigma, a baby who protects all the children of the world from his secret headquarters. The other babies think Archie is making the story up. But little Archie believes in the Kahuna and would give anything to live his life of adventure. Strange things happen when Archie and the babies have a run-in with media tycoon Bill Biscane. To Archie’s amazement, the real Kahuna does exist and comes to help save the day.
