The three-part episode begins with a wager between characters Cartman and Kyle about the existence of goblins . In case of defeat, Kyle would have to put Cartman's testicles in his mouth. Cartman wins this bet when a goblin shows up to warn of terrorists . However, Cartman does not receive Kyle's bet even after being asked several times because Kyle believes it is an unfair bet.

The next day, a man asks if Kyle and his friends saw a goblin. Because Kyle still doesn't want to believe in the existence of goblins, the man wants to teach him better and invites the children to take a ride in his hot air balloon . With the help of the "Fantasy Song" (which only consists of the repeatedly repeated line "The Fantasy Song"), the group arrives in Fantasy Land, where the creatures of human fantasy live, and others. a. Super Mario , the Turtles , Luke Skywalker , Gandalf , Rapunzel and Santa Claus , but also Jesus and God (God can only be heard) appear. The man finally reveals himself to the children as the mayor of Fantasy Land. When the residents, who have never seen “Creator” before, ask the children about the goblin, a group of terrorists suddenly appears. Several bomb explosions devastate the area and kill numerous fantasy figures. In the midst of the mess, the kids escape with the help of a dragon but accidentally leave butters behind. The next morning, Kyle initially believes in a dream until he talks to the other children and learns that the same thing has happened to them; only now do they notice the loss of butters.

Cartman obtains a court order that Kyle must perform the contract within 24 hours. Meanwhile, the US Department of Defense receives a video of the terrorists in which they present the inhabitants of Fantasy Land as their hostages. Butters reads a message, at the end of which he begs Kyle and Stan for help. Since the military do not know how to deal with the terrorists, they turn to various Hollywood producers, as they hope their creativity will provide a solution. On the advice of Mel Gibson , the video is examined for characters who do not belong in fantasy land. Ultimately, you find out that Butters is "foreign". The commanding general then gives orders to find Stan and Kyle. Just as Kyle is about to redeem his lost bet, he and Stan are picked up by the military and taken to Washington, DC . Cartman feels deprived of his success and hitchhikes them both.

In the meantime, the terrorists are destroying the wall that divides fantasy land into good and bad. The evil creatures (including the Alien , the Minotaur , Jason Voorhees , Darth Maul , the Pinhead and Freddy Krueger ) immediately invade the good side and kill most of the captive residents, including the mayor. The few survivors retreat to a fortress, at the gates of which the decisive battle between good and evil is fought.

In the end, the good figures succeed in victory thanks to butter. However, when he wakes up, he is once again under house arrest.
