The Smurfs have always been able to rely on their trusted friends, the storks, to help carry them on their long-distance adventures. Now, three of them are dedicated to leading a delegation of Smurfs to the mage Homnibus to celebrate his birthday. But when the usually punctual storks are not there to return the Smurfs home… something is terribly wrong.
