1Ten years after the events of ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'', tragedy strikes just before the first Willy Wonka Candy Emporium in twenty years is about to open in UsefulNotes/LasVegas. Someone has murdered 22-year old Charlie Bucket and dumped his body out in the desert, and it is up to the Las Vegas CSI team to figure out who could have killed him and why. Naturally, things aren't so cut and dried, especially as the team explores further into Mr. Wonka's magical world.

8!! This fanwork contains examples of:
9* AscendedFanboy: Greg Sanders, in-universe fan of Willie Wonka, by the end, [[spoiler: becomes the new heir to Wonka's chocolate factory]].
10* CelebrityParadox: Fangirls keep mistaking Mr. Wonka for Creator/JohnnyDepp.
11* ContinuityNod: Turns out that the side effects of being "punished" by the weird stuff at the factory stayed with the children even after all of these years.
12* CrackFic: ...yeah. It's a Series/{{CSI}} / Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory crossover fic. How could it ''not'' be?
13* CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler: Turns out Mr. Wonka had some plant defenses installed in the factory ever since Mrs. B tried to flirt with him during the tour.]]
14* CrowdSong: The Oompa Loompas break into song twice, once while giving their witness statement.
15* CursedWithAwesome: Violet Beauregard will remain a blueberry-colored RubberMan for the rest of her life, so she decided to exploit it by becoming a member of the Creator/CirqueDuSoleil. The story shows she made quite the name for herself because if this.
16* DistantFinale: The story serves as this to ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'', though it's a DeadlyDistantFinale for Charlie.
17* FeelingTheirAge: Played for tragedy with Wonka discovering that Charlie is dead. The narration (and Grissom, who is there to see it) mentions that at that precise time (and for a very painful moment) all of the psychological aging that Willie Wonka had tried to stave off by acting like a ManChild caught up with him as he tried to process this fact.
18%%* FurAndLoathing: Played with.
19* GeniusDitz: Willy Wonka. Charlie was the CloudCuckoolandersMinder in his latter days.
20* [[QuipToBlack Grissom One-Liner]]: Natch. Provides the TitleDrop at the very beginning.
21* HeadTiltinglyKinky: Greg Sanders meets Violet Beauregard, now a contortionist with Creator/CirqueDuSoleil. She is combing her hair. With her feet. From behind. In the nude.
22%%* InsufferableGenius: Mike Teavee.
23* TheLabRat: Greg, though he is given the opportunity to do some investigation on his own when Gil and Catherine are off trying to interview Wonka.
24%%* LevelAte: The chocolate room. And Wonka's factory.
25* LogicBomb: Grissom, trying desperately to make the fanciful stuff he encounters jibe with how he knows the world works.
26* MagicVersusScience: Trying to analyze a piece of Wonka candy in the mass spectrometer has spectacular results. Walkie-talkies don't work within the Wonka Emporium. Cell phones don't work inside the Chocolate Factory.
27* MathematiciansAnswer:
28-->''The bouncer – who looked big enough to actually bounce Greg against the sidewalk if he wanted to – peered closely at Greg's ID. "What's this about?"''
29-->''"I just need to ask her a few questions. It won't take long."''
30-->''"All right – but if you're just another one of those perverts—"''
31-->''"I'm not. I'm cool."''
32-->''"—she'll break your neck herself. I think she's a black belt or something."''
33-->''Greg frowned. "Karate? Judo, Jujitsu?"''
34-->''"Yes."''
35* ManChild: Willy Wonka. The only time he acts his age is when he gets news of Charlie's death.
36* MyCard: Gil gives one to Wonka after asking him some questions
37* PassingTheTorch: [[spoiler: Willie Wonka makes Sanders the new heir to the chocolate factory after Charlie's death.]]
38* RevengeByProxy: [[spoiler: The true culprit is Violet Beauregard's mother, who wanted Wonka to suffer after what happened to her daughter.]]
39* RichBitch: Veruca Salt, who got pissed off when Charlie decided not to make a business alliance between her company and Wonka's. [[spoiler:It ends up deconstructed. Even if still enough of a bitch that she looked like a sure-fire culprit, she still cares about the fact Charlie got killed and blowing up about the business alliance aside, she wasn't ''that'' much of a bitch ''to'' him -- they were even SecretlyDating]].
40* RubberMan: Mike Teavee. When he tries to get away from the police, several LVPD policemen get a grip on him... and he stretches like a rubber band (including bouncing back '''hard''') as he tries to drag himself away.
41* SpitTake: Catherine tells Gil about the Chocolate Room. Gil is eating tomato soup at the time.
42* {{Squee}}: Greg Sanders' reaction to finally meeting Willy Wonka is to run around the lab screaming "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!"
43* StuffBlowingUp: [[spoiler: The Las Vegas Wonka Emporium is firebombed two thirds of the way through.]]
44* TitleDrop: The fact that Charlie was drowned in a molten chocolate leads to the obvious remark.
