As the story has caught up to what was going on when the episode began, Buster heads off to literally "throw himself out of the picture" (by jumping out of the celluloid). But before he can do so, Harvey drops in, introducing himself to Buster as his "guardian toon angel". Buster refuses to believe this angel is for real, until he makes a wish that he'd never been on ''Tiny Toons'', which Harvey instantly grants. On this note, Buster declares, "You're nuts! Warner Bros. would never let me out of my contract!", at which point a bolt of lightning disintegrates it from his hand.

Warner Bros. would never let me out of my contract!", at which point a bolt of lightning disintegrates said contract from his hand.
To prove his point, Harvey takes Buster to an alternate reality where he never existed, in which Acme Acres has been taken over by Montana Max and renamed "Montyville", and Plucky is the main star of ''Tiny Toons'', with Babs stuck as the hapless patsy who is a constant victim of having anvils dropped on her. When Buster sees this, he storms the set of the show and confronts Alternate Plucky, screaming, "What are you, [[Goofy|goofy]]?" Insulted by that remark ("What are you, a spy from [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]]?!"), Alternate Plucky has the alternate universe's equivalents of Arnold and Sneezer (the latter of whom is named Sleazer) throw Buster out.
