And Smudger's own family feel the full force of the new law when his parents' café is raided and his magnificent cakes are taken away. Even Huntley's family are nonplused by the sudden developments. Huntley's mother - a doctor - knows that chocolate in moderation will not do any harm.
Oblivious to his own family's fate and returning home from Mrs Buddy's shop, Smudger and his best friend have a lucky escape when troopers catch them eating chocolates in the street. They make good their getaway, but only just. Smudger returns home to find his family distraught and frantically removing any trace of chocolate from their own home before the special police raid.
But what can anyone do? The GoodforYou Party is setting the rules and the rules say no chocolate. At school they preach against confectionery abuse and young GoodforYou party pioneers sing the benefits of broccoli. Special police with chocolate detection dogs hunts down any law breakers who are then taken away for re-education.
Suddenly, doctors' surgeries are filled with people claiming ailments that can only be cured with a chocolate bar and suddenly there is a flourishing black market for chocolates at exorbitant prices. Despite warnings, their love for chocolate is too much for Huntley and Smudger, who have a near miss when a black marketeer is arrested. Material promoting the benefits of chocolate is mysteriously disappearing. A sense of paranoia and fear is beginning to grip everyone - no one knows who they can trust.
The boys can't abide the ban and when Mrs Bubby shows them what is stored in her cellar they have an idea. The boys will make chocolate - and not just for themselves. They will make chocolate for justice and freedom!
