Summary[]
One day in the Smurf Village, Hefty notices that one of the trees are dead and Papa Smurf allows him to chop it down. Dimwitty does not want that as he likes the tree and believes that it's still alive, but then he realizes it's dead. Papa Smurf tells him that if they cut the tree, a baby tree will take its place. Dimwitty misinterprets this and thinks there are real babies inside as Papa Smurf and Hefty facepalm. Handy comes up with idea of using the dead tree as a place to hide from Gargamel. Dimwitty still thinks there are babies and they facepalm again.
Later, Papa Smurf gathers all of the Smurfs to announce about the five volunteers ready to hide inside the old tree, located at the old edge of the village. He then tells them that Handy will use his useful gadgets, such as his jetpack, Jokey's presents and the emergency smurfmobile, customized with Farmer's tractor. As Scaredy panics that Gargamel is trying to find them, Papa Smurf informs Scaredy it's just in case. Suddenly, Baby burps in a barrel, triggering Scaredy as he believes that Gargamel is here. Everyone runs away as Papa Smurf is confused why there isn't a single volunteer, so he decides to hold a vote. Baby burps in the barrel again and he laughs.
After all of the ballots are taken in, Papa Smurf announces the most voted for Smurfs. The first one is Baby, to much confusion. Papa Smurf tells them they have four more. The next announced rescuer is Dimwitty, who was only voted for because Jokey told some of them to do it as a joke. The third rescuer turns out to be...Lazy. The next announced rescuer is Clumsy, a rescuer who even Papa Smurf is confused about. Brainy tells him that they thought it would boost his self-confidence. The last rescuer is revealed to be Scaredy. As the five have a power walk moment, Dimwitty trips and causes the others to fall. Hefty and Papa Smurf watch in fear. Papa Smurf tells Hefty that he and Smurfette can give them some training lessons outside of the village so the others won't worry.
Meanwhile in Gargamel's hovel, the evil wizard wakes up Azrael to tell him that he has created brand new Freeze Balls, which are purple glowing balls that are the key to get the Smurfs. The purple ball can freeze a person for around three hours. He tests it on a lizard, and he successfully freezes. Gargamel plays with the ball, but he drops it and he ends up freezing. Azrael sighs.
Back in the village, Hefty is giving the rescue team some lessons that they are "the best of the best" and that they are not afraid of anything. He goes up to Scaredy to tell him this, but he faints. Smurfette shows them the first exercise to go to the trees when she blows the whistle. When she actually blows the whistle, only Clumsy and Dimwitty run, with Scaredy running after. Dimwitty goes to an actual tree, while Scaredy hides in a bush. Clumsy crashes into the fake tree and it falls on Hefty. Clumsy is dizzy and he falls. Lazy keeps sleeping and falls down. Baby laughs. Meanwhile, Gargamel and Azrael are in the forest trying to find the village.
In the forest, Smurfette and Hefty are still trying to teach the rescuers by exercising and practicing. Hefty is showing the Smurfs how to exercise, but none of them are doing them correctly. Then, he shows Lazy sit-ups, but Lazy does one and falls to sleep. Then, Clumsy is supposed to launch one of Jokey's presents onto the target, but he trips over a rock and the present explodes. Scaredy has Handy's jetpack, but he's going around the air as Smurfette watches in annoyance. Lastly, Hefty punches a Gargamel Jack-in-the-box and shows Scaredy how to do it, but it's backwards. When Hefty turns it forward, Scaredy goes into a panic and runs away. Baby just plays on it. Gargamel and Azrael hear them practicing and decide to quietly follow them.
Back in the village, Hefty and Smurfette have failed to teach anything and just hope Gargamel never finds the village...but he does and ends up capturing all of them. The rescuers head to the old tree and watch Gargamel catch every single one of their kind. After Gargamel finishes capturing them, they proceed to head back to the hovel, but Gargamel trips over a wagon and breaks his foot. As he cries for his mom, Azrael discovers the smurfmobile and Gargamel starts to ride it. As the rescuers watch, Dimwitty grabs one of Jokey's presents and hits it on a tree. It comes bouncing back and the five Smurfs fall out of the tree. Clumsy then tells the others that he knows a shortcut.
As Gargamel rides the smurfmobile, Clumsy is about to say the plan, but he trips and falls. The other Smurfs follow suite and fall into the three sacks. Gargamel hears something, but Scaredy keeps his quietest so he wouldn't hear anything. Clumsy then slides out of the sack and tries disconnecting the two chains. Scaredy helps, but Clumsy ends up jumping back in to the smurfmobile and the chains dismantle as Scaredy yells. He holds onto them, but he gets stretched and falls into the third sack and keeps yelling as he rolls down to the village with the cart. Dimwitty waves bye, but Azrael hears this and thinks there are moving Smurfs in the sack. Gargamel then tells him to get back. Clumsy tells the others that they have to hurry. He comes out of the sack and tries to disconnect the chains again. The mobile hits a bumpy road, and the four Smurfs exchange sacks, with Clumsy being the cart to roll down to the village like Scaredy.
With only one sack left, Baby is playing with a sleeping Lazy. Dimwitty decides to ask Gargamel how to stop the cart. Gargamel realizes that there is an active Smurf and starts chasing him. He tells Azrael to take the wheel, but Azrael knows nothing how to drive and the mobile uncontrollably moves. Azrael has Baby on his tail and he tries to get him off it. Baby then lands on his arm and he grabs his tongue and releases it and Azrael falls off the smurfmobile. It goes the other way and he is hit by it. Meanwhile, Gargamel is chasing Dimwitty and Dimwitty runs into a log. Gargamel catches up with him, but Baby is driving the mobile and it hits Gargamel's rear, sending him flying. Dimwitty congratulates Baby and he laughs. Just then, Azrael comes up and attempts to catch him, but Lazy finally wakes up and hits Azrael with a stick. He then tells them that he is trying to sleep.
The five rescuers are back and have reconnected the mobile with all three sacks of Smurfs on it. Papa Smurf falls out of his freezing stage and wonders what happened. Clumsy explains that they are true rescuers. Scaredy asks Dimwitty where they are going and Dimwitty says he knows where the village is, but drives all of the Smurfs off a cliff, ending the episode abruptly.
