The magical mask goes missing once again in Lawrence Guterman's sequel to The Mask. After cartoonist Tim Avery's dog finds it in a stream, Tim lands a big account, only to lose it, and his job, when the mask goes missing. It's found by his infant son Alvey, who is so familiar with TV cartoons that he's ambivalent to his new toy. But it's not only his dad who wants it back; the Norse god of mischief Loki needs to find it before his dad Odin realises it's missing.
