During the film, the ticket stub magically transports Danny inside the fictional world of the film, interrupting Slater in the middle of a car chase. After escaping their pursuers, Slater takes Danny to the LAPD headquarters, where Danny points out the fictional nature of the world, such as the presence of a cartoon cat detective named Whiskers, and that Slater's friend John Practice is played by the same actor who was the antagonist that killed Mozart from "Amadeus" and should not be trusted; Slater takes these as part of Danny's wild imagination. Slater's supervisor, Lt. Dekker, assigns Danny as his new partner, and he instructs them to investigate criminal activities related to mobster Tony Vivaldi.
