The story
Years ago, the Intergalactic Evil Wizard Alliance, led by Razamel, attempted to use four magic books to rule the world. Papa Smurf managed to hide one of the books, Jaunty, in Smurf Village. In the present, a newcomer named No Name Smurf arrives at the village and appears to possess magical powers. When Razamel detects the village, No Name and a group of Smurfs must journey to Paris to find Papa Smurf's brother, Ken. Along the way, they encounter the International Neighborhood Watch Smurfs and must navigate various dimensions to stop the Alliance from reclaiming the magical books and destroying the goodness in the universe.

After No Name Smurf's actions cause Razamel to detect Smurf Village, the Smurfs travel to Paris to find Ken.

After being captured by Razamel, No Name and Smurfette are taken to Munich. It is revealed that Jaunty is the source of No Name's magic. Razamel eventually corrupts Jaunty and takes her. During a final confrontation involving a flying car and a battle against the Alliance, Smurfette manages to turn Jaundy back to good.
