Synopsis[]
Lazy doesn't want to miss important moments in the village, so Handy builds him an alarm clock that will keep him awake. However, this backfires and keeps the other Smurfs awake too.
Summary[]
Lazy is busy sleeping as usual and has a dream. He suddenly wakes up to hear cheering Smurfs. As he walks up, he notices Handy and Smurfette are cleaning a large bowl and wonders if they have been cleaning Farmer's snail stables. Smurfette informs him that Sloppy has taken his annual bath while all the Smurfs are still celebrating. Lazy is disappointed as he missed the entire thing, but he says he is too tired to do anything. Handy says that he can get rid of his insomnia problem by creating a new invention.
Later, in Handy's workshop, Handy builds Lazy a portable alarm and he tells him it gives it a different sound each time. Lazy falls asleep again and the alarm sounds off in a unique way. He thanks Handy as he will no longer have a sleeping problem.
When Lazy leaves the workshop, two Smurfs invite Lazy for a swim in the river. When the alarm sounds off again, Clumsy and Dimwitty believe there is a fire and get their truck and spray Lazy with the hose. Lazy says there is no fire, but Dimwitty still believes there is a fire and the hose sends him flying, eventually bonking Clumsy and the two faint. The two Smurfs that invited Lazy make fun of him, much to his annoyance.
Lazy is now greeted by several Smurfs as he gets to enjoy the village life. He smells a couple of Chef's yummy cream puffs. Lazy tastes one and enjoys it but falls asleep again. The alarm sounds off again, scaring Chef and his cream puffs fall out of his hand. Chef manages to catch most of them, but one falls onto his nose. Lazy says "you shouldn't smurf with your food", confusing Chef. Then, he approaches Farmer and asks to ride his tractor. While Lazy enjoys riding, he falls asleep, but Farmer is about to get hit, so Lazy tries with all his might to stop the tractor. It stops in front of Farmer's nose and he faints.
In the night, Smurfette is sleeping, but Lazy's symbol playing annoys her and she asks him to play them somewhere else. He then does near in Hefty's house, to which he also yells at Lazy to get away. After, Lazy starts to do daily activities at night, such as ride on a smurfboard, play guitar, and play with a ball. The alarm clock starts waking up several Smurfs while Lazy enjoys the sunrise.
The actual day, however, isn't good for his fellow Smurfs, who are all extremely tired from Lazy's alarm clock. Though Smurfette initially wants him to have fun, she realizes that none of them have slept properly, not even Jokey who falls asleep after he gives a present to another Smurf. Harmony even falls off his house while playing his horn. Hefty and Smurfette agree that Lazy's alarm needs to be turned off. In the forest, Gargamel and Azrael are trying to find the mysterious noise. When Gargamel hears it closer, he trips over Azrael and falls off of a cliff.
Meanwhile, Handy is very tired as well and the Smurfs ask him if there is an off button to the alarm. Handy says there is none, so he comes up with the idea of breaking it himself, to which all of the Smurfs agree to. Lazy is still enjoying his alarm and the many things he can do while Handy approaches him. He informs him that he has to destroy his alarm.
While Lazy doesn't understand at first, he realizes what is happening and attempts to run off, but he has to run away from more Smurfs and he eventually runs off in to the forest. In the forest, he falls asleep and the alarm sounds off again. He then falls onto Gargamel's foot. Gargamel grabs Lazy and the alarm sounds off again and he gets frightened, causing him to drop Lazy. He attempts to run away while trying to get the alarm off with Gargamel and Azrael still chasing him. Lazy crashes into a bear...who wants to eat Lazy for lunch.
Lazy runs from the bear but he catches up with him. He holds onto the stick as the bear grabs him by the strap of the alarm. The strap comes loose, Lazy is free and the bear eats the alarm, leading to it ringing forever in the bear's body. Soon after, Lazy is going to go back to the village, but then starts sleeping again. Papa Smurf, Brainy, Hefty, and Smurfette find him safe and sound, so they take a nap again. Unfortunately for them, Lazy now has a new problem: snoring.
Meanwhile, Gargamel, still thinking Lazy has the alarm, grabs the bear's teeth instead. As Gargamel attempts to pet the bear. He starts getting attacked... which Azrael reacts with happiness.
