The Smurfs are trying to find a cure for the illness that has affected Brainy and Hefty Smurf, but are running out of time before it spreads even further. Papa Smurf, who is trying to come up with a cure, is keeping a close eye on the situation, but is struggling to find a way to stop the outbreak.
As the episode unfolds, the infected Smurfs struggle to cope with their illness. They cannot control their movements, and as a result, they are finding it hard to perform their usual tasks efficiently. Meanwhile, the rest of the Smurfs are doing everything possible to help their sick friends.

The Smurfs who have set out on the mission to find the antidote soon discover that Gargamel and Azrael are also after the same ingredients. As the two groups race towards each other, the Smurfs who are infected continue to hop uncontrollably, and the situation becomes more dire by the minute.
Eventually, the Smurfs manage to collect all the necessary ingredients to make the antidote, but the question remains whether they can make enough of it in time before more Smurfs fall sick. In a race against time, Papa Smurf and his team set to work, using their wizardry skills to put together the cure.
As the episode draws to a close, the Smurfs' teamwork pays off, and they are ultimately successful in curing all the Smurfs who were infected. The town is relieved, and everyone is grateful to have their co-habitants back to their usual selves. The episode ends with the Smurfs rejoicing and celebrating their victory against the hopping cough virus.
