Unable to pay the exorbitant fees imposed on him by the contract, Wonka is captured and starts to work in a launderette alongside five other captives for Mrs. Scrubitt; including Noodle. Learning of a "Chocolate Cartel" plot involving the rival chocolatiers, Wonka makes Scrubitt and Bleacher fall in love and facilitates his escape to sell chocolate with the help of Noodle, to whom he promises a lifetime supply of chocolates. The Cartel exploits the Chief of Police's weakness for chocolate to force Wonka to leave town while Wonka tells Noodle that his affinity for chocolate stems from his late mother, who gave him one last chocolate bar. Wonka then discerns the theft of his chocolates by an enigmatic orange man who steals them for years. To produce his signature chocolate, Wonka, accompanied by Noodle, travels to the local zoo, milking Abigail the giraffe. Together with a group of captives, they embark on selling chocolates to alleviate their debts while using the underground to evade Scrubitt and the Chief. Unmasking an Oompa Loompa named Lofty as the thief, Wonka discovers that the Oompa Loompa seeks retribution for the cacao beans Wonka took years ago under Lofty's watch. Lofty ingeniously dupes Wonka, facilitating his escape.
Using the funds raised from selling chocolates, the group of captives open Wonka's dream chocolate store. The Chief and the Chocolate Cartel, informed of Wonka's endeavors and now unable to arrest him since he has a legitimate shop, denounce him to Scrubitt. Infusing his chocolates with Yeti sweat, Scrubitt incites chaos among the customers, leading to the destruction of Wonka's store. Facing adversity, Wonka reluctantly agrees to the Cartel's offer to leave town by ship to pay off everyone's debts. Everyone is released from the launderette except Noodle; Cartel member Slugworth pays Scrubbit to keep her there indefinitely. Before jumping off the dynamited ship with Lofty, Wonka has a conversation with him during which he realizes that Noodle is Slugworth's niece. Noodle, who was reported dead to her birth mother Dorothy, was sold by Slugworth to Scrubitt in order to eliminate her claim to the family fortune. After rescuing Noodle with the help of the group, they devise a strategy to obtain the Cartel's incriminating account book.
Taking advantage of Abigail's distraction, Wonka and Noodle infiltrate the Cartel's base, where they are confronted by the Cartel and nearly drowned in chocolate. Through strategic use of hoverchocs, Wonka enables Lofty to rescue them and unveils the Cartel's misdeeds. Exposing their actions to the authorities and the public, they release the Cartel's chocolate reserve through a fountain, laced with Wonka's unique ingredients, ruining the Cartel's enterprise. The Cartel, levitated uncontrollably by the hoverchocs, meets their downfall, and the police arrests their Chief. The crowd revels in tasting Wonka's chocolate fountain, and Wonka unwraps his mother's chocolate bar, discovering a Golden Ticket with a message that says chocolate is best shared. Sharing his mother's chocolate with friends, Wonka aids Noodle in reuniting with her mother, settles his debt with Lofty, and, with Lofty, acquires an abandoned castle to commence building a new factory.
In an epilogue, Scrubitt and Bleacher are arrested after their attempt to eliminate evidence of sabotaging Wonka's shop backfires by drinking the mixtures, which disfigures them.
