The following morning, the siblings tell the whole town about the star in their excitement, which makes them all rush towards the glow in the mountains.
The star itself (which Rita and Runt witness) falls shortly after in the mountains and the fairy tells Wakko that whoever touches the star first gets one wish. A fairy (who calls himself a "desire fulfillment facilitator") falls from the star he picks and explains that Wakko had just chosen the only wishing star in the sky. Wakko, saddened about Dot's illness, tries wishing upon a star.
Three orphans, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner, are particularly troubled, as Dot needs an operation. Taking advantage of the situation, the neighboring fictional kingdom of Ticktockia (a parody of Time Inc., at the time of its merger with Warner Communications), lead by King Salazar the Pushy, takes over Warnerstock, and makes all its people poor and miserable due to overtaxing. Upon the death of the king, Sir William the Good, Warnerstock enters a state of civil war.
