Two things are true about most kids: They don't like going to school and they'd rather eat candy than vegetables! So, presented with the choice of being bossed around by parents and teachers or running away to work in a candy factory, it stands to reason that many kids would choose to run away. The children of the Nordtz family are presented with this basic dilemma when their father is transferred to a new job in a new town that happens to have the world famous Willie Wanker Candy Factory located in the middle of it!
Evil Willie is the owner of a huge candy factory. He relies on child labor to produce his sweet confections. It is not difficult for him to attract more workers to run his factory and although he treats them well at first, he becomes more exploitative once new workers settle in. Although you might expect a candy-maker to treat children kindly, Evil Willie is more of a demanding dictator than a benevolent mentor of the children that work for him. Once Nordtz discovers that his children are missing, he does everything he can to find them. He calls the local police, but they aren't very helpful. He searches the streets of his new town. His wife contacts friends from their old neighborhood. How long will it take Nordtz to figure out that his children have run away to work at the candy factory? Will he be able to rescue his children from Evil Willie?
