This is so much more than an exercise for Trey Parker and Matt Stone to insert references of just about every imaginary character or childhood pop culture reference into a three episode arc. Regardless, this disc requires your full attention, or you may miss a few characters.

Here's who make cameo appearances in the movie.

Eric Cartman leads the other boys in a wild goose chase in searching for, and capturing a leprechaun, which he claims that he's seen in the woods three days in a row. Kyle is also along for the ride, and naturally, he's skeptical. He also made a bet with Cartman about the leprechaun's existance: if it's not real, Cartman owes Kyle ten dollars, if it is real, Kyle has to orally pleasure Cartman. Just as Kyle is trying to urge everyone to leave, Butters spies a leprechaun. It is quickly captured, where it reveals that it was sent to deliver a message of an impending terrorist attack, and that the boys have made it late. A triumphant Cartman now tells Kyle to "suck his balls". Kyle refuses, more concerned with why a leprechaun would be warning of a terrorist attack.

The next day, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, Jimmy and Butters are met by a strange man who ask them if they saw the leprechaun, and then takes them on a ride in a magical "Imagination Flying Machine" to Imaginationland, whose citizens are fascinated about the presense of their "creators". Just then, suicide bombers for a terrorist organization arrive, attacking Imaginationland. Stan, Kyle, Jimmy and Kenny manage to escape on the back of Draco, but Butters is left behind, and taken hostage. Stan wakes up the next morning, having thought that this was a weird dream, but when Kyle tells him that he had the exact same dream, and the parents of Butters show up, concerned that he never came home the night before, they quickly realize that it was no dream.

Stan and Kyle are asked by the U.S. government to help out, and Cartman is determined to get Kyle to live up to his end of the deal, even going to court and successfully winning his case. Once the two are taken to Washington, Cartman follows them. Stan and Kyle have more pressing matters, though: helping save Imaginationland from the terrorist and its resident "evil" characters, and getting Butters home before he is grounded by his parents.
