Papa Smurf decides to take charge of the situation and ask his fellow Smurfs to help him find the ingredients for a super powerful antidote for all the plants sick from the Vileaf. Thanks to the Smurfizer, a revolutionary invention from Handy Smurf, go on an adventure to find the ingredients and free your fellow Smurfs… and save the whole forest!
