Summary[]
It is night in the Smurf Village as we see a shadow of a Smurf walking to Harmony's house. The musical Smurf sleeps as there is a closeup on his trumpet.
In the morning, Harmony heavily cries as his trumpet has been stolen. Smurfette and Brainy comfort him and say he'll find it. Brainy assumes he misplaced it and says that it happens to him all the time, though he reveals that is a lie. Just then, Hefty arrives to tell them someone has taken his dumbbells. Smurfette is puzzled as she points out Harmony's trumpet got stolen too. Harmony continues crying as Brainy believes someone got tired of him playing it. Scaredy arrives in a barrel as he tells everyone to hide their valuables since there is a thief in the village who just stole Vanity's mirror. Vanity panics and looks all around his house. Scaredy worries and wants Hefty to protect him while Hefty just says "Personal space".
Brainy, Smurfette, and Hefty are in In Papa Smurf's lab as Brainy is informing him about the thief. Papa Smurf tells him to calm down and there could be another, simpler explanation. Just then, he sees his apple cider is gone and so are his stills. Papa Smurf is acting like Brainy now, telling him nobody leaves the village and he's gonna get the thief. Brainy tells him he has a plan - a smart plan - he is going to set a trap and will use something to lure the villain.
In the evening, Brainy is luring the thief with his smurfway as Smurfette sees this is very risky. Brainy tells her he has it all under control and nothing will come between him and his smurfway. As she and Hefty leave, Brainy prepares to watch the thief in action...
Until he falls asleep. The thief springs in action and steals the smurfway as Brainy is sleep. When he wakes up, he sees it's gone and begins screaming, waking Smurfette and Hefty up, and then all the other Smurfs wake up as well. Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and Hefty see as Brainy cries about the stolen smurfway. Just then, Scaredy screams and falls on Hefty, who crashes down. Papa Smurf assures a freaked out Scaredy that nobody is stealing anyone and Brainy assumes he is a very smart thief. Papa Smurf tells the Smurfs that they should go back to sleep since it's unlikely the thief will strike again tonight. Brainy and Smurfette offer to make a few rounds around the village just in case and Papa Smurf allows it. Scaredy asks Hefty to walk him and Hefty agrees and will stand guard.
Brainy and Smurfette walk around the village while Brainy is confident they will find the thief - until he shrieks at the sound of an owl. He tries to say he wasn't scared, and he knew about this.
In Scaredy's house, the Smurf is too scared to fall asleep and Hefty, who is standing guard outside of Scaredy's house, says he is here to protect him. Scaredy falls asleep while Hefty does some push-ups. He prepares for the thief - who is sleepwalking away. He hears the Smurf and steals one of Chef's pots. Hefty checks if he heard something as the sleeping Smurf sleepwalks... and Hefty recognizes him as Scaredy! Hefty tries to run after him, but when Scaredy turns, Hefty gets hit by the pot and gets knocked out. Scaredy continues sleepwalking while Hefty lays on the ground. Brainy and Smurfette are nearby as they look for the thief. Just then, Brainy trips over the knocked-out Hefty and they realize he's Hefty.
In Papa Smurf's lab, the village leader examines Hefty as Smurfette and Brainy inform him that Hefty was just lying in the middle of the village and Brainy believing the thief must have used something strong to knock him out. Hefty wakes up with a headache and tells the three Smurfs that Scaredy attacked him with his eyes half-closed and his arms in the air. Papa Smurf believes he knows what's going on.
The sleeping Scaredy walks out of the village while bumping into various objects while Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Hefty, and Brainy walk into Scaredy's house, only to find that he is not there. He opens his cupboard, revealing everything he had stolen while asleep. Smurfette realizes Scaredy was the thief all along. Papa Smurf tells her Scaredy is not aware of it and is suffering a severe case of sleepwalking. He says to the three other Smurfs that they must find where Scaredy is going or else he's going to sleepwalk into trouble.
Scaredy is in the forest as he continues sleepwalking. He climbs on a bear and walks into Wild's log, where Wild is sleeping near various acorns. Scaredy steals one of the acorns, which upsets the forest Smurf, and he unsuccessfully runs after him. He goes to tell Papa Smurf. Near the end of the village, Papa Smurf and crew search for Scaredy when Wild runs here and tells him Scaredy stole his food and he is going toward Gargamel's hovel, much to the four Smurfs' concern.
Scaredy walks toward the hovel, where Gargamel and Azrael are sleeping. Scaredy walks in the hovel, still sleepwalking. He walks toward some honey and gets sticky shoes. He walks up the bookshelf, though one of the books is not properly placed, causing the book to fall but Scaredy still walks on the bookshelf. Gargamel and Azrael wake up and the evil wizard assumes that it's a rat. He looks around and asks the rat to come out. Scaredy makes another book falls as Gargamel screams. He falls into the box he had opened and demands for Azrael to let him out. The cat instead watches Scaredy climbing up the walls and licks his lips.
Scaredy is near Azrael, who prepares to try to take Scaredy while Gargamel yells for him to let him out once more. Azrael is about to pounce on a Smurf, but Gargamel opens the box himself, hitting him down in the process. Gargamel berates Azrael while he keeps getting hit and tripping down. He tries to get the cage that hit him off, but he falls near the stairs.
Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy, and Hefty run towards the hovel and they go inside it. Brainy observes Scaredy on Gargamel's rafter and the four Smurfs climb up here. Azrael spots them and is about to snatch Papa Smurf off of his rope. Papa Smurf successfully goes onto the rafter while Hefty shakes Azrael on the rope. Gargamel gets up and Azrael goes onto his face. Gargamel bumbles into the stairs once more as the Smurfs laugh until they see Scaredy about to fall into one of the mouse traps. Hefty saves him and Scaredy falls onto a bag. Scaredy finally wakes up and is about to scream until Smurfette tells him he is safe. The five Smurfs escape the hovel.
Back in the village, Scaredy observes everything he stole while Smurfette just tells him he was simply looking out for their things. He worries if he does it again, Papa Smurf assures him he spoke to Handy and he made something for his sleepwalking problem... a treadmill, which Scaredy uses as he sleepwalks.
