Sassette wanders the village and Grouchy Smurf tells her he hates her because, as a Smurfette, she's a Gargamel creature.

The curious Sassette asks who is Gargamel, so Grouchy tells her about the evil wizard, and that his house at the other side of the forest.

Handy arrives at the village at dawn to find all Smurfs (sans Papa) as ugly creatures.

Unaware that he has been turned hideous by his own soup, Gargamel then tries to get Azrael's help, but the cat doesn't recognise him and runs away terrified.

In "The Smurflings," the adult Snappy disobeys Papa Smurf's order not to touch anything when he opens the door to the magical clock.

Unaware of what Papa had done, Gargamel is surprised and puzzled that Sassette didn't explode, and so goes to check on the clay he had enchanted, only to end up being literally blasted into the sky!

Clockwork starts off well at first, but then malfunctions thanks to Brainy's ignorant tinkering with his works, causing him to wreck much unintentional havoc.

This leads Handy to reluctantly decide, under pressure from the other Smurfs, to deactivate Clockwork and then dump him in the woods.

Clockwork revives however, and ends up rallying to the side of Gerard, a boy prince who is the rightful king of his country, but is now imprisoned by his evil aunt Lady Imperia who is ruling instead (she is the villain in this version instead of Gargamel, who doesn't appear).

In the end, Gerard gets his kingdom back and adopts Clockwork as his friend and advisor, while Handy, pleased that his creation has proven to be useful after all, returns home with the other Smurfs.
