- Golly, Freddie sure is enjoying our picnic.

Cling and Clang, stop that now.

- Look, it's the witch on her vroom broom.

- Oh my.

- She's gonna zap us.

- Run everybody.

Scatter, run in the forest.

- Don't anyone touch the evil mushrooms.

- Run, quick, she's coming down.

- Hide me, Jimmy, hide me.

- Someone's coming.

- Shh, it's that boy, Jimmy.

- Let's grab him for the witch.

- Yes, she'll be thrilled with us.

- Hey, you trees, lay off, let us grab him.

- Yeah, we'll turn him into a mushroom

and give him to the witch.

- Nothing to it you guys, we saw him first.

- Shh, quiet, quiet, here he comes.

Not so fast, my young bucco,

the witch will want to know what you're doing

in her forest.

- Let go, you big dumbos.

- Ow, ooh, ooh, ooh, he's breaking my limb.

- I've got him.

You won't get away from me, you little human.

- I won't, eh?

- Ouch.

Grab him, I think he cracked my trunk.

- Quick, after him.

- Ow.

- Jimmy.

- Grab that flute.

Touch him, quick, turn him into one of us.

- I'm trying, I'm trying.

- Help me, Jimmy, help me.

Don't let them touch me.

Help, help.

- Freddie, watch out for that mushroom.

Move, quick.

- Oh no.

Freddie.

- Too late, I've got him.

- No, don't, stop.

Freddie.

Freddie.

They turned you into a mushroom.

- Ha, ha, ha, yeah, how about that?

- Freddie, are you all right?

Talk to me, please, say something.

- Hey, buddy, what are you doing with our little mushroom?

- Yeah, give him back, he's one of us.

- He's not, he's my friend Freddie,

and you're never gonna get to keep him.

- Hey, trees grab him.

- Stop.

Come back.

- Grab him.

- Run, run.

- Grab him, hurry.

- Pufnstuf, Pufnstuf, help.

- What is it, Jimmy?

- Look what's happened to Freddie,

they turned him into a mushroom.

- Golly, a mushroom?

Jimmy, I told you to be careful.

- I couldn't help it,

I tripped and fell into a mushroom patch.

- Suffering catfish, they touched him.

- Right.

And look at him, he can't even talk.

- Come on, we've gotta go to Dr. Blinky's right now.

Let's go, hurry, this is terrible.

Dr. Blinky will think of something to do.

Dr. Blinky, hurry, you've got to do something.

- Please, look at him, Freddie's a mushroom.

- This is very serious,

let's see what I can find.

I must have something here in my bag.

Let's see.

Ah, here it is, my anti-mushroom powder.

- You've got an anti-mushroom powder?

- No doctor worth his buttons would be without some.

- Thank goodness.

I sure hope it works.

- Hurry, doctor, you must save the little fellow.

Hurry.

- I'm hurrying.

Here goes.

Oh, that didn't work,

let's try this one.

Oh, I know what, I'll try this one over here.

- Well try already.

- There.

- Nothing's happened,

Freddie's still a mushroom.

- Freddie, talk to me.

- That's funny, it should have worked.

- Hey, doc, listen for a minute, will you?

- Please, not now, Charlie, let me think.

What did I do wrong?

- Doctor, please listen to me,

I know where you can find an anti-mushroom spell.

- An anti-mushroom spell?

Tell us, tell us where.

Where, where?

Do you have it inside your pages?

- Not inside my pages,

inside my brother's pages.

- I never knew he had a brother.

- Oh yes.

He doesn't talk much about him,

he's the black book of the family.

- Right, he's a rotten book,

he went over to the witch's side.

- So that's where the witch gets her spells,

from your mean brother.

- She won't make a move without looking

in the rotten book first.

- Then all we have to do is sneak into the castle,

grab the book, tear out the page

with the anti-mushroom spell.

- Without the witch or her guards catching us.

We don't have a chance.

- We can do it, Puff, we must do it.

- I'll help.

- What can you do, Candle?

- I'm a good spy.

Get me in the castle,

let me talk to Rotten Book.

- That's a good idea.

- We've got to try,

we can't let Freddie remain a mushroom.

- I'm willing to try, Dr. Blinky,

mind if we take Candle with us?

- Sure, take him.

He should be able to help you,

he's pretty hot stuff.

- Take good care of Freddie, Dr. Blinky.

Let's go Puff.

- Good luck and good hunting.

- Did you see those goodie two shoes run

when I dive bombed them?

Scared 'em right out of their socks, didn't I?

- You're the scariest witch I know.

- Hurry up and turn on that machine

you feathered twerp,

I wanna see where that rotten little kid went to.

- Something's wrong with our machine.

- You bird brain, I thought I told you to fix it?

- Well I told Seymour.

- You told Seymour.

Out of my way, bird brain, let me try.

Oh fiddle faddle.

I broke my foot.

Ow, help, help.

- Orson, did you hear that machine calling for help?

It's witch craft.

- I had nothing to do with that.

Somebody's in there.

Come out whoever you are

before I blast you...

Seymour, what are you doing in there?

- I was fixing it,

and then someone kicked it,

and caused a short circuit.

- How many times I told you

never to kick that machine?

- I didn't kick the machine, you did.

- Never mind freak beak,

and don't argue.

You're both a couple of nincompoops,

and I'm fed up with both of you.

Now get out of here, out of my sight.

Out, out and stay out.

- Mr. Candle, this is the dangerous part.

It's not too late to back out now, you know?

After living with Dr. Blinky, I'm used to danger.

- Puff, how do I look?

- Very good, perfect.

Now, Jimmy, you really have to act like a beggar

or else they'll find out it's you,

and you're a goner.

- I'll make 'em believe me,

I've just got to.

- Cling and Clang,

you got your scary stuff ready?

Good boys.

- Great, here we go.

- Good luck, we'll be hiding right here,

and be careful.

- Bye.

Shh.

- I'm fed up.

Boy, I wish I knew what to do with that witch,

she's making our lives miserable.

- Let's run away from home.

- Where can we go?

We have no food, no buttons,

we'll wind up like that beggar over there.

Beggar?

- Ohms for the poor beggar,

ohms, ohms for the poor and retched.

- Say there you beggar,

what are you doing around here?

- Please, sir, charity for a starving man.

- We don't give charity around here,

scram, get lost.

- Go.

- Wait, kind feathered sir,

how would you like to buy my candle,

my only possession, for a few buttons

or a crust of bread?

- I'm going to get that candle as a present for the witch,

maybe that'll get her off our backs.

- But we don't have any buttons.

- We don't need any, dummy, watch.

Now see here my ragged fellow.

- How about that, Seymour.

- The candle, the candle.

- Oh yeah, let me see that.

And what is it you want

for this miserable piece of tallow?

- Oh just a few buttons

to buy some morsel of food.

- I'll tell you what I'll give you for your candle,

a fat boot right off this castle.

Guards, throw this bum out.

Hey, wait a minute.

- Boy, I gotta hand it to you number two,

you got class, you're pure rotten.

Bye now.

- Look at that beggar run.

- Good riddance, come on, let's go see the old hag.

- Okay, you ghosts.

Nice work, boys, it worked perfectly.

- Jumping new bottles, Jimmy,

for a moment up there I thought you were a goner.

- So did I.

- But now that Candle's in the castle,

let's go see how he's doing.

- Right, the guards are gone

so we can sneak around the side

to the witch's room.

- Come on, let's go.

Come on, come on, boys.

- Orson, Seymour, where are you?

I wanna kick you both goodnight.

Oh, I forgot I threw 'em out,

no wonder it's so peaceful around here.

Surprise, surprise.

- What's the matter with you two?

You know I scare easily.

Ooh, I ought to fry your feathers

and singe your seats.

- Wait, Witchiepoo, we have a little giftie for thee,

so shall have light wherever you go, my queen of darkness.

- For me?

A present for little old me?

Why that's so thoughtful my pretty pussy cats.

Now I can read and dance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oh my little baby fiends,

it makes moments like this worth while

being a mommy.

- All right, already, please don't overdo it.

Blech, fooie.

- Yeah, blech, fooie.

- Good night you drips,

I hope you get a rotten night's rest

so you'll be real mean in the morning.

Now, think gruesome twosome.

Well rotten book, I'm too tired

to read anymore tonight.

- Witchiepoo, Witchiepoo,

come on, Witchiepoo,

there's a good spell on my page 67.

Witchiepoo.

How do you like that?

She's asleep.

- Psst.

- You calling me, drippy wick?

- Shh, lower your voice, Rotten Book.

I got regards for you from the outside.

- Yes, who?

- Your brother.

- My brother?

That drum wit stranger.

Well that was a tough break.

That's what he gets for hanging around

with those other groans, Pufnstuf, Jimmy, Dr. Blinky.

Look, Rotten, I'd like to ask you something.

- Yes, what?

- Now that I work for the witch,

I'd like to learn all about black magic,

like for instance anti-mushroom spells.

- Hmm, easy, anti-mushroom spells,

that's on my page 28.

Say, how come you want to know?

- Well, I, uh, well, just in case,

you never know, I may not-

- Tell you what kid,

you really want to hear something?

- Yeah, I sure do.

- Okay, just listen to this.

There's a spy in the castle.

There's a spy in the castle.

- Where, where?

Who's a spy?

Where?

- Candle is a spy.

Candle is a spy.

Candle is a spy.

- Candle's in trouble.

- Let's get in there quick.

- I deny everything.

- Well, well.

So Candle Speed is a spy.

- Well, er, I, uh,

that book is crazy,

I was just trying to make friends,

that's it, that's all.

- Friends?

He wanted to know all about the anti-mushroom spell.

He's a spy I tell you.

- Well we'll soon find out

if he's a spy or not.

Talk, my little spined friend,

or I'll melt you down

to a ball of wax.

- Let's go, Jimmy, come on.

- What's going on?

Strangers in the castle,

strangers in the castle.

- We got you, Miss Witch.

Grab her, Jimmy.

Hold her, hold her.

- Quick, Jimmy, it's on page 28

in Rotten Book.

- Go Jimmy, go.

- Oh, that smarts.

- Hurry Jimmy, hurry, go.

Help, get me up.

- Got it, the anti-mushroom page.

- Nice work, Candle,

now let's get out of here.

- I'm in your hands,

have wick, will travel.

I can't breathe, help.

- Help, guard, help.

Orson, Seymour.

Help, I can't see,

it's dark, help.

- Get the dirty crook.

- Here he is.

- Grab him, Seymour.

- I'm grabbing, I'm grabbing.

- Sit on him, Seymour.

- Good idea.

There we got him.

Squash him good.

Hurry and get the witch,

she'll love us for this.

- Ooh, she sure will.

Ooh, wonderful.

Rotten Book, Rotten Book,

listen, where's the witch?

- You're sitting on her, you idiot?

- Sitting on her?

- Oh no, I don't believe it.

- Well take a look, you dummies.

- Witchiepoo, is that you?

- That's right, dear boy.

Of all the stupid...

Come back here you dumb, dumbs.

Ooh, when I get my hands on you

I'm gonna pulverize you.

Ooh, I'm gonna...

- Timber.

- Look at him, just look at him.

Poor Freddie.

I've tried everything to bring him back,

nothing works.

- Dr. Blinky, we've got it.

- Just in time.

Freddie's still a mushroom.

Hurry, quick.

- The anti-mushroom page from Rotten Book.

- Nice work, Waxy.

- I was glad to help.

- Freddie looks terrible.

Read it, Dr. Blinky, quick.

- Yes.

Twas verdict with veltinclarm,

obtrusion with a.

- Wait a minute.

- What?

- You were reading it upside down.

- Ooh, how silly of me.

Let's see what the potion calls for.

Take one hair from a sea serpent's nose.

- Oh, schucks, guess that's it, Jimmy.

- I've got it.

- You have?

Wow, that's a relief.

- It's lucky I never throw anything away.

Now, next, let's see,

first toenail of a two-toed sloth.

- Oh no, leave it to my rotten brother.

Some spell.

- Go to it, doc.

- Now let's see, I just picked that up yesterday

at the sloth store.

Next I need here a,

a cup of whole milk from a new canoe.

We're in luck, just had that delivered this morning.

next-

- There's more?

- Oh, certainly.

Shark's left eyebrow.

Let's see now.

Hmm, look here, oh, oh, I have the right eyebrow.

Well don't worry I'll mix it with my left hand.

- Please, just hurry.

- All right, Jimmy, let's have Freddie.

- Please be careful, he's in your hands now.

- Don't worry, he's safe as a bug in a rug.

In we go.

Now, need some light.

I always thought these matches were striking.

Oh there.

Now I just...

There.

- Freddie, Freddie, it's you.

- Freddie, say something.

- Freddie, are you all right?

Talk to me.

- Boy, I sure have a funny mushroom taste in my mouth.

- He's all right, Freddie's all right.

Dr. Blinky, you're terrific.

- Dr. Blinky, congratulations,

as Mayor I hereby declare this to be Dr. Blinky Day.

- Thank you, Dr. Blinky, thank you.

- Oh, please, no fuss,

just tossed buttons.

- Thank goodness, all our troubles are over.

- Right, let's go back to the cave.

Say, anyone see Cling and Clang?

- I think they stopped to play in the forest.

- No, no, they've been changed into mushrooms.

- Well, Dr. - Blinky, here we go again.

- Do something, quick.

- Cling and Clang, come back, stop.

Come here.

- I hope I'm not out of hot eyebrow.
