Gargamel finds hunting the Smurfs too tiresome, and secretly longs to find a wife instead. When the Smurfs become aware of his wish, they decide to accommodate him in the hope that he'll leave them alone once and for all. They consult with Homnibus who, through his servant Oliver, sets up Gargamel to meet and have dinner with a young lady named Margot at an inn the following day. However, the result is anything but positive due to Gargamel's rude behavior.

Meanwhile, as the Smurfs spy on the event, Jokey and some of the others wander away unnoticed by the rest, which results in Jokey getting himself trapped in Gargamel's shopping bag as the wizard departs unaware of this. Anxious, the Smurfs follow him from a safe distance.

Later in the marketplace, Gargamel meets another young woman named Roxana who shows an interest in his magic skills, and the wizard falls instantly in love with her. At the same time, he discovers Jokey Smurf in his bag and locks him in a cage as soon as the wizard returns to his castle, intending to make the Smurf into gold after he prepares for a possible visit from Roxana.

To rescue their fellow Smurf, the others bravely come forward and offer a deal with Gargamel: if he really wishes to successfully date Roxana, he must agree to release Jokey Smurf in exchange for their help. His determination to win the heart of Roxana overcoming his greed, Gargamel allows the Smurfs to put him through a vigorous exercise program, along with lessons on good manners and a non-magical transformation into a whole new look. After much hard work on self-improvement, Gargamel succeeds in getting Roxana to accept an invitation to his home. Gargamel is so grateful, he actually keeps his word and Jokey Smurf is released.

Just before Roxana arrives at Gargamel's home however, his mother unexpectedly visits. When the situation is explained to her, she points out that Gargamel probably needs more than a new look to get Roxana to fall in love with him and gives him a special love potion just in case.

Roxana finally arrives. However, it becomes obvious she isn't really interested in Gargamel personally, but rather in his magic tricks. So Gargamel decides to serve her his mother's love potion, but winds up giving her a sleeping potion by mistake, sending her into an enchanted sleep. At that moment, came along Adalbert, a childhood friend of Roxana. He kisses her as he has already loved her for a long time, causing the spell to break and her to wake up again. She returns Adalbert's love and goes away with him, leaving Gargamel heartbroken.

As a result, Gargamel turns evil again, relapsing into his old routine of chasing the Smurfs who escape back to their village immediately. The story then ends with Azrael drinking the love potion that was meant for Roxana and falling in love with his master!
