The bells of the clocks that cover the walls of the workshop indicate that it is now nine o'clock, and the Maker announces that it is time for bed. After everyone bid each other goodnight, the woodcutter got into bed, and noticed a Wishing Star through the window. He made a wish that the Puppet he made would become a real boy, before falling asleep.

The wishing star started to glow brighter, and get closer to the window. Eventually, reaching the workshop, it transforms into a Fairy. She approached Puppet and, fulfilling the Maker's wish, brought the puppet to life with a tap of her wand. The Puppet was delighted and surprised at his ability to move and talk. The Fairy informed him, however, that he is not a real boy yet, and must prove himself good, caring and unselfish to become real, by learning the difference between right and wrong. After the Conscience hops in to explain to Puppet, the Fairy dubs the cricket the boy's conscience and leaves, warning that him to always let his conscience be his guide.

After the Conscience's unsuccessful attempts to tell the boy the difference, the boy tells him that he wants "to do right". This wakes the Maker, who cautiously searches the room. On finding the boy moving and talking, he first thinks he is dreaming, but is eventually convinced, and delighted, that his 'son' is alive. Winding the music boxes, everyone celebrates the boy being alive. However the boy gets distracted by a candle and, not knowing what it is, sets his finger on fire. Quickly, the Maker panics and extinguishes the wooden boy's finger in the fish bowl. He decides that they should go to sleep before anything else happens.

The next morning, the Puppet excitedly says goodbye to the Maker, schoolbook and an apple for teacher in hand. He is noticed by a fox and cat, who, knowing the value of a moving puppet without strings, "befriend" him, intending to sell him. The fox tells the boy that he is just the type to become an actor. He and the cat lead him through the streets, the Conscience, meanwhile, is "late on his first day", and tries to catch the Puppet's attention by jumping on the Fox's hat. The cat, trying to hit the cricket, hits the fox on the head with a hammer, forcing his hat over his eyes and momentarily preventing him from seeing what is happening while the cat tries to pry the hat off. The Conscience tells the boy not to give in to temptation, but is ignored, and the boy accompanies the fox and cat to "be an actor" while the cricket desperately runs after them.

They take the boy to a Puppet Show Caravan, where a puppet master buys the wooden boy and makes him his star attraction. That evening, the cricket watches from a lamp post as the boy performs for the audience, and is met with enthusiastic applause as onlookers throw money on to the stage. Thinking that he was wrong in trying to stop the boy, he leaves deciding to let the living puppet continue without him. The Maker, meanwhile, is worried when the boy does not return from school, and leaves the workshop to look for him. In the caravan, after the show, the puppet master congratulates the Puppet for making him so much money, and tells him that he will become a star. Delighted, the boy makes to leave to go home but is stopped by the Master, who grabs him and throws him into a wooden birdcage, telling him that he will keep him there, taking him out only to put on shows as they tour the world. When the Puppet is too old to entertain audiences, he will use him for firewood. Laughing, the Master leaves the carriage, slamming the door. As the caravan begins to move, the boy weeps as he tries to whistle for his conscience.

Outside in the rain, the cricket watches the caravan pass. He decides to wish the boy good luck and say goodbye to him, but is surprised to find him locked up rather than "sitting in the lap of luxury." He tells the cricket that the man is going to chop him into firewood. He tries to unlock the cage but fails. He stays with the boy and weeps over their predicament, while the Maker passes the caravan, with unheard pleas for his son. When all hope seems lost, the Fairy appears in the caravan. She asks the boy why he did not go to school, but the wooden boy lies, telling her that they were captured by monsters. When his nose grows longer with each lie that he tells, until it has become a tree limb, complete with leaves and a bird's nest. The Fairy tells him that a lie keeps growing, "until it's as plain as the nose on your face". The Puppet promises to be good, and his nose shrinks back to normal size. The Fairy frees the duo from the cage and vanishes, saying that this is the last time she can help. Quickly, they manage to sneak out of the caravan as it is moving.

Meanwhile, the fox and cat are celebrating seated opposite from the Coachman, who listens to their story and catches his attention with a huge bag of money, which he says can be theirs if they bring "stupid little boys" to the crossroads for him to take to Pleasure Island. Though the fox is at first terrified of getting caught, the Coachman assures him that none of the boys ever come back. As soon as they leave the tavern, the fox and cat find the Puppet racing the Cricket home, and pretend to be doctors, stating that he is 'allergic' and must go to Pleasure Island to get better. They carry him to the crossroads with the cricket once again in hot pursuit. When on the Coachman's Stagecoach, the boy meets a brat who tells him that Pleasure Island is a "swell joint" where boys can run riot without fear of reprimand from authority figures and everything is freely available. The coach reaches the shore, where the boys board a boat which takes them to the island.

As the boys enjoy themselves at the fairground-like Island, the Coachman orders his minions to close the doors, locking the unknowing boys in. Later that night, the cricket searches the now-deserted fairground for the Puppet. He eventually finds him playing pool with with the other boys. The Conscience loses his temper and leaves, quiting as the boy's Conscience after discovering that the Puppet is friends with these rude boys. He crawls under the main doors of the fairground to find the Coachman and his minions loading donkeys into crates that go to places such as the Salt Mines and the Circus. One donkey is able to speak and The Coachman throws him into a pen of donkeys that "can still talk". He realizes that the donkeys are the same boys that went to Pleasure Island that were somehow transformed into donkeys and are now being sold into slavery. He rushes back to warn the Puppet. Back in the pool hall, the boys are still laughing about him saying that something bad is going to happen when he suddenly sprouts donkey ears, causing the Puppet to immediately stop drinking, this is followed by a tail, so he stops smoking. As his face transforms, the boys asks if he thinks he looks like a jackass. The Puppet says he does, only to bray when trying to laugh. When the boy's laugh becomes a donkey's bray as well, he then covers his mouth and asks "Did that come out of me?", to which the Puppet nods, he then looks in the mirror and panics. He asks the Puppet for help, but the wooden boy is only able to look on in fright. His last words are a frantic call for his mother before he turns into a donkey completely. The speechless Puppet hides behind a chair, and his panic increases when he sprouts ears and a tail, but the cricket arrives just in time and reminds him that Pleasure Island is cursed and takes him to an escape route in order to avoid transforming into a complete donkey and, together, they swim to the shore of the mainland with the Puppet only having a donkey tail and ears, leaving the others.

They arrive at the Maker's workshop to find that the old woodcutter has left, along with his pets. A message from the Fairy informs him that his father ventured out to sea to rescue him from Pleasure Island, and has been swallowed by an enormous whale. He resolves to save them from the Whale, and though the cricket tries to warn him against it, he accompanies the wooden boy. Tying a rock to his donkey tail, he plunges to the bottom of the sea and begin their search for the Whale. Any sea creatures they ask flee at the mere mention of its name, and none provide any help.

Inside the belly of the whale, the Maker lives in a small boat with his two pets. They have nothing to eat and he fears that, unless the Whale opens his mouth soon, they will starve to death. When the Whale wakes from his slumber, it is surprised by a school of tuna, who flee in all directions, causing the Puppet and his Conscience to see it and, terrified, try to swim to escape. Only the Puppet is swallowed by the Whale, sprightly the Conscience managed to escape. When he finds himself on the Maker's boat, the woodcarver's surprise at his son's donkey ears and tail is outweighed by his relief at seeing his son again. He laments that they cannot get out of the whale, who only opens his mouth to eat. However, the Puppet has a plan; gathering wood together, he starts a fire, which causes the Whale to sneeze the boat out, and the Conscience jumps on as they fly past. Furious, the Whale chases the boat, smashes it to pieces with his tail. The Puppet takes hold of his father and paddles for a hole in the cliffs beyond as a means of escape. The Whale, enraged as ever, continues to chase after them. The dup succeed in getting through the hole in the cliff just as the Whale crashes into it, which causes the whale a fatal head trauma, thus ensuring its own end. The Maker, his pets, and the Conscience wash up on shore alive, but the Puppet is seen floating face down in a deep puddle, apparently having died trying to save his father. In his workshop, the Conscience, the Maker and the pets mourn the Puppet's death. However, in saving his father, he has proved himself and is granted life, becoming a real boy.

When the Kingdom of Auradon what united, the new King imprisoned the Master, and all the villains of the kingdoms on the Isle of the Lost. For 20 years the Master lived on the island trying to make more puppets out of the garbage he could find, until one day he had a son that he could mold into his image.

My name is Stephan, I am the boy of my Papa Stromboli, the master of puppets. I am just like him in many ways. We are tall, big men, with black hair and eyes. We both carve puppets too. Papa even bought me, Woody. He is a small grey and brown bird.

I love my Papa, and he me. We live in big wagon on island and move around. Father angry when he sees puppets on island. I think it was the talking puppet that makes him angry. It will be okay after we leave island. Then we make boy-puppet and family pay for ruining Papa's business.

Hopefully we stat another traveling puppet wagon again on main land after.

While Stromboli and his son were digging through the garbage looking for parts for a new puppet, the dome above shattered.

Looking up at the dome Stromboli ushered his son back into their wagon and started to push it to the edge of the isle.

Just before pushing the wagon into the sea, Stromboli activated the inflatables that were around the bottom of his wagon and jumped into his wagon, sending it over the edge and towards the mainland.

Once on shore they both stripped the wagon of the inflatables then began their trek onwards to find the puppet-boy and get their revenge. Never knowing that they'd be stopped by the descendants of the worst.
