Plot Summary
The Smurf Players put on a new play written by Poet, Narrator, and Tapper that is called Queen Esther, which is about the Biblical story of Esther, the younger cousin of Mordecai. In the play, Smurfette plays Esther while Empath plays King Ahasuerus, who is searching for a new queen after he had deposed Queen Vashti. Sometime after Esther is made queen, the king's adviser Haman secretly plots to destroy the Jews, and Mordecai warns Esther the news about what's going to happen. Esther realizes that she has the power to prevent the destruction of her people from happening, and so she entreats the favor of the king to listen to her petition which in turn reveals Haman's plot and has him put to death while Mordecai is promoted to being the king's new adviser.
