Zero and Stanley struggle to climb the mountain due to their lack of water and clean food. When Stanley finally reaches the Big Thumb, Zero has passed out from being very ill. Stanley uncovers groundwater and a field of onions, which the boys eat and start to gain their strength back. While they are up there, Stanley sings to Zero the lullaby he was taught, and as it just so happens that Zero is a descendant of Madame Zeroni, this finally breaks the Yelnats family's curse. Stanley proposes to Zero that they make their way back to Camp Green Lake so they can try to find Kissin' Kate's buried treasure. The boys are successful and find an old treasure chest. Before the boys are able to leave with the suitcase, they are surrounded not only by several deadly yellow-spotted lizards, but the harsh Warden, Mr. Pendanski and Mr. Sir who wait for the boys to die from a lizard's bite. The boys are saved by their massive consumption of onions, which the lizards hate the smell of, so the protection buys them enough time for a surprise visit from Stanley's attorney who arrives at Camp Green Lake with the Texas Attorney General requesting Stanley's release.
When the Warden demands the treasure chest back, Zero tells her that it has Stanley Yelnats' name on it. Kissin' Kate's treasure was actually Stanley Yelnats I's treasure (full of jewels, deeds, stocks and promissory notes), which rightfully belonged to Stanley and his parents. Stanley uses the bonds to get a new house for his family, and Zero hires a team of investigators to find his missing mother. In a final scene, Clyde Livingston, along with the Yelnats and the Zeronis celebrate the success of Stanley's father's product, named Sploosh, a foot-odor perfume. Zero's mother sings a lullaby to him, which turns out to be slightly different version of the original lullaby Madame Zeroni taught Elya Yelnats.
