They are lured to the middle of nowhere and trapped by Reg.
He then reveals his true identity as Professor Pester! But Paulie too smart for all that and stays out of being captured. He helps Les sneak out and Les uses a shadow to trick and distract Pester with a fake Chewnicorn. Paulie then uses a forklift to get the caged pinatas out of there. Quickly, Pester gets on another forklift and follows in a low-speed chase. After a night's drive everyone falls asleep except Les who wasn't on the lift. He jumps out at the lifts and seeing them coming to a crossroads, makes the pinata's vehicle to safety, but then craftily switches the signs to make the awakened Pester go up the volcano. The pinatas go home and Pester begins a long, long, climb up a volcano.
