I understand, but the IMDb web server is a moving target, and 'http'
and 'mobile' need to be constantly updated.

It goes without saying that "the latest, the greatest", so your
users should really consider upgrading to IMDbPY 4.0. :-)
The Debian package, courtesy of Ana Beatriz Guerrero López, is
always up-to-date in unstable. I don't know if it can be
installed in Ubuntu.

They are available since 2.5.

Provided that at least 'title' should really be always present (I was
thinking more about 'plot'), your solution is a bit too much one-liner
for my Italian well-educated taste. ;-)
And, by the way, won't work. :-)
serie.get('episodes') will return None is there's no 'episodes' key (and
this _can_ happen), and None doesn't have a "get" method - and so your
code will explode anyway. :-)
A working variation:
serie.get('episodes', {}).get(1, {}).get(4, {}).get('title')
were every "get" method sets its default return value to an
empty dictionary (which, in turn, provides a "get" method).
Honestly, I don't like it at all; in these cases it's much better
to work one step at a time; something like:
episodes = serie.get('episodes')
if episodes:
...
The functions in the helpers module could ease you writing cleaner code:
for episode in helpers.sortedEpisodes(serie):
title = episode['title']
plot = episode.get('plot')
if plot:
....
Or, if you prefer:
for season in helpers.sortedSeasons(serie):
for episode in helpers.sortedEpisodes(serie, season=season):
title = episode['title']
plot = episode.get('plot')
if plot:
....
