The cure is found in magnolia pollen, which is gathered in great quantity and loaded in fireplace bellows to be used as impromptu ranged weapons against contaminated Smurfs.

The Purple Smurf has to inhale the pollen, which, after a loud and powerful sneeze, causes him to revert to his usual blue-skinned bonhomie.

A great battle is fought outside the village, as the purple tail-biting horde closes in, threatening to destroy Smurf civilization for good.

The first Purple Smurf to have been transformed, meanwhile, recovers some semblance of ingenuity and paints himself blue to avoid being sprayed by the pollen-powered antidote.

This story was later used as the basis for an episode of the Hanna-Barbera Smurfs cartoon, though their skin color was changed from black to purple, in order to avoid possible racial connotations.

A blue Smurf desperately wishes to be able to fly in the air, and tries various means to defy gravity and accomplish his dream, such as sticking feathers to his arms, building a hot-air balloon and eating much yeast.
