The story of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka Jr. follows candy manufacturer Willy Wonka as he holds a contest by hiding golden tickets in five of his scumdidilyumptious candy bars. Whomever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats, but the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket, who takes the tour along with his beloved grandfather. The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka's rules in the factory -- or suffer the consequences.
