Lucy finds clues from her dying father leading to a 'Golden Ticket' in a candy bar. She joins three other orphans—Edward, Susan, and Peter—at Willy's Chocolate Factory, where Willy reveals he plans to use them as ingredients. Lucy finds a wardrobe leading to Gnarnia, where she meets Mr. Tumnus. The group eventually learns the White Bitch killed their parents and they ally with Harry Beaver to fight her. Edward is captured by the White Bitch but later escapes with the help of Captain Jack Swallows. The orphans then train at Hogwarts with a graying Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, accidentally killing Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Hagrid. They eventually head to the camp of Aslo, the rightful ruler. During a pre-battle party, Susan gets drunk and vomits, causing the army to abandon them. The siblings fight the White Bitch; all but Peter are killed. Peter uses a magic remote to revive them, and they defeat the army. They kill the White Bitch, but Jack accidentally crushes her with a water wheel. The siblings are crowned rulers. Decades later, they return through the wardrobe to find themselves young again, only to be crushed again by Jack's water wheel as Borat mocks their ending.
