Nanny McPhee appears at the door of a harried young mother who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war. But once she’s arrived, Nanny discovers that the children are fighting a war of their own against two spoiled city cousins who have just moved in. Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life to a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant, Nanny uses her magic to teach her mischievous charges five new lessons.

Plot

The 1940s. With her husband away fighting Adolf Hitler's Nazis, overworked Isabel Green finds herself caught between a hectic life of tending to the family farm and raising three mutinous children. In desperate need of a helping hand and at the end of her tether, Isabel can't believe her eyes when Nanny McPhee, the extraordinary government nanny, shows up at her front door after the events of Nanny McPhee (2005). As Isabel's scheming brother-in-law, Phil, tries to talk her into selling her half of the farm, the poor mother is going to need all the help she can get. Will a sprinkle of good old magic do the trick once more?
