Papa Smurf tries to mediate the peace among his little Smurfs by telling them both forms are correct, that it's simply "smurf of one and smurf a dozen of the other" (or "Smurf green and green Smurf"). However, the feuding becomes rather divisive with the villagers separating themselves into "northern Smurfs" and "southern Smurfs", and so heated that no Smurf is even listening to Papa Smurf anymore, so he goes to get the help of Gargamel. As the evil wizard arrives to capture Papa Smurf, he locks eyes with the human and chants a spell that causes the both of them to change into each other's forms: Papa Smurf is now Gargamel and Gargamel is now Papa Smurf. As Papa Smurf uses his Gargamel form to unite the Smurfs together and to end their silly conflict over words, Gargamel in his Papa Smurf form finds the reverse chant and uses it on the village leader to restore their natural forms. However, Gargamel in his restored form doesn't get far with his captured Smurfs when he is attacked by a confused Azrael who still thinks that the person in Gargamel's form is really Papa Smurf. And when Gargamel tries to find his way back to the Smurf Village, he ends up back at his own castle, fussing and fuming at the Smurfs. Later on, Papa Smurf calls a meeting together with all his little Smurfs that they should no longer use compounded words when communicating, which solves one problem...yet starts up another debate much to his dismay.
