He's using his telescope to watch the Whos and plans to steal all their Christmas presents using his special gadgets. He goes into his cave to look at his blueprints, trying to decide which gadget to build first.
But oh no! The Grinch accidentally falls off a pile of boxes. His blueprints fly everywhere, scattering down into Whoville and other parts of Wholand. Now, the Grinch has to visit different places like Whoville, the Whoforest, the Whoville Municipal Dump, and Wholake. His mission is to find all the pieces of his blueprints. While he's doing that, he also tries to destroy Christmas presents and play pranks on the cheerful Whos. He needs those blueprints back so he can finally steal Christmas!
