The story

Charlie Bucket, a 12-year-old paperboy from a poor family, passes by Willy Wonka's chocolate factory in Charlie's town, where a tinker tells him that nobody ever enters or exits the building.

Though production resumed three years later, the factory remained closed to the public and the identities of the new workers remain unknown.

Someone in Paraguay claims to have found the last ticket, but the authorities discover that it was forged.
