Season 1:
When a new law is made saying that anyone with chocolate will be fined and jailed, many people are angry - especially Smudger & Huntley. They do as much as they can to get their hands on chocolate, even if it will land them in trouble!
Smudger, Huntley & Mrs. B decide to make their own chocolate, and they create the Chocolate & Freedom Party. One night, the three decide not to go to the party, and bring all their friends to a dance. But somehow, they are caught, & Smudger and Mrs. B are taken away.
In the final breath-taking episode, Huntley must track down how the police found them, and Myrtle discovers she was being spied on and followed. In the short time they have left to survive, the remaining Chocolate & Freedom party members show a disc on TV saying to eat chocolate, and it returns to the fabulous world and everyone's happy again.
