However, the King's army has already built a military base around the star, and a small ice palace to the side of it, and the townspeople (including Plotz) are all captured and locked up so that the King may have his wish. Plotz does not stop the Warners from reaching the star at the same time as all the other townsfolk. King Salazar finds out about the star, orders Taxman Plotz to stop the Warners from reaching the star alive, and orders his troops to secure it. The following morning, the siblings tell the whole town about the star in their excitement, and all rush towards the glow in the mountains. The star itself falls shortly after in the mountains and the fairy tells Wakko whoever touches the star first gets one wish. A fairy (who calls himself a "desire fulfillment facilitator" or "Pip") falls from the star and explains that Wakko had just chosen the only wishing star in the sky. Wakko, saddened about Dot's illness and finding no other choice, wishes upon a star. Wakko finds work in another town to pay for it, but Plotz takes his pay – a half penny – from him, lying that it is for taxes. Three orphans, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner, are particularly troubled, as Dot needs an operation. Taking advantage of the situation, the neighboring kingdom of Ticktockia, led by King Salazar, the Pushy, takes over Warnerstock, and makes all its people poor and miserable due to overtaxing (which, ironically, is a parody of the 1989-1990 merger of Time, Inc., publishers of the "Time" magazine, and Warner Communications, owners of the Warner Bros studio, forming the Time Warner media conglomerate). However, upon the death of the king, Sir William the Good, Warnerstock enters a state of civil war.
In the town of Acme Falls within the kingdom of Warnerstock, all the people live happily together.
