Plot summary

The world is agog when chocolate and candy maker Willy Wonka announces that five golden tickets granting access to his factory are to be found in his eponymous chocolate bar. For young Charlie, getting hold of one of those tickets would be a dream come true. The family has little money but his Grandpa Joe encourages him to have faith and keep a positive attitude. The one chocolate bar he buys doesn't have a ticket but when he finds a dollar on the street and gets another, he strikes gold at last. The five children are admitted to the factory and find a wonderland of candies and chocolate. Willy Wonka tells them they can have anything they want - but he is definitely looking for something in return.—garykmcd
