- Hey, where are you goin', little girl?

- I'm not a little girl, I'm a boy.

- Eh, what do I know? - I'm batty.

- Not so fast, my young bucko,

the witch will want to know what you're doing in her forest.

Let go, you big dumb oak!

- Ow! Oh, oh, he's breaking my lip!

- I've got him, he won't get away from me, you little human!

- I won't, hey? - Ouch, grab him!

- I think he cracked my trunk.

Quick, after him!

- I may never walk again.

Do you think we'll catch him? - We'd better,

or the witch will turn us into shingles.

- Oh, take it easy, my roots are dragging.

- Shh, shh, hold it, someone is coming.

- After them. - Grab the little bugs!

Oh, wow, you two guys sure scared me,

but I'm glad you're here now.

You can help me out, okay?

Good, I knew I could depend on you two.

See the witch's boat down there?

We're gonna capture it so Freddy and I

can sail it back home.

You two come back here!

If you go by yourself, the witch'll surely get you.

Okay okay, relax, the witch doesn't know we're here.

Shh.

- Oh, Your Witchiness,

quick, they're going to steal your boat!

- Steal my boat? How do you know?

- I once swallowed a crystal ball,

thought it was a big jellybean.

- Stop with the funny jokes, you oversized chicken!

They are trying to steal my boat.

Those little grabbers.

- See, I told ya so.

♪ Nah nah nah nah nah ♪

Oh!

You don't love me, no one loves me.

I'm a failure, you hear me, a miserable, total failure.

- Stop crying, your tears will cause a short circuit.

How about them crisp poultries?

- Hide, quick, the guard's coming.

Shh, what's the matter with you two?

The witch will hear you.

- I hear and see everything!

- Yeah, everything! - And I see you're trying

to steal my boat, you little ship nappers!

- Yeah, ship nappers- - Will you shut up?

Stop, quick! Hairy goat, stinging bee,

stop you three 'cause I say freeze.

- Nice goin', Witchiepoo.

- One of my better stunts.

All right, boy, I want your golden flute.

Hand it over.

- How can he, Chiefy, he's frozen.

- Well just don't stand there, dummy, frisk him.

- He's clean.

He doesn't have it on him.

- Drat! Double drat!

The flute must be back in Pufnstuf's cave.

- How you gonna get him?

That's the one place your magic doesn't work.

- Think, think, think!

Ah ha, I've got it,

I'll turn Jimmy into a mechanical boy.

- A mechanical boy? - Right,

and he'll do exactly as I say

and I'll send him to get the flute.

- Oh boy, this I gotta see.

Go to it, Chiefy.

- Nuts and bolts,

screws and nails,

help me make my evil toy,

turn him into a mechanical boy!

Who are you?

- I'm a mechanical boy.

- Boy, that's great!

- No, he's too mechanical.

They're liable to get wise.

He needs some emotion.

- Be happy. - Happy.

- Be sad. - Sad.

- Be angry. - Angry.

- Good, now go get Freddy Flute and bring him to my castle.

You have 24 hours.

Do you understand?

- I understand, I have 24 hours, bye.

- Gee, your terrific-

- Silence, Seymour, flattery will get you somewhere.

Now go pick up those two frozen dumdums

and let's get outta here.

- Right, Chiefy, we'll take 'em back to the castle.

- Jimmy, where have you been?

We missed you.

Jimmy, you feeling all right?

Jimmy, put me down, what's happened to you?

Where are you taking me?

- I am to take you to my master.

- Jimmy, this is not like you, what's wrong?

Who's your master?

- I am sorry, I cannot give out that information.

Help Pufnstuf, something's wrong with Jimmy.

- Jimmy, what happened to you?

Why are you walkin' that way?

Oh my goodness, Jimmy, what happened?

- Pufnstuf, do something!

Jimmy is sick.

- He's not sick, he acts like he's under a spell.

It must be the witch.

- No one can stop me, I must return to my master.

I have 24 hours.

- No Jimmy, stop.

24 hours?

It must be a time spell.

Jimmy, I'm taking you to the clock people.

They know all about time spells.

- I am going to the castle.

- No Jimmy, no!

- I'd better get him to the clock people fast.

- I must return to the castle with Freddie Flute.

I have 24 hours.

- No Jimmy, stop!

Oh my.

A beautiful home is a beautiful

Oh, oh, well now.

Oh my,

you ought to cover your door when you sneeze.

Brush, brush, clean clean clean.

Oh, ah yes, keep the place all clean and bright and

oh, hi Mayor, hi boy.

- Dr. Blinky, Jimmy is under a time spell.

- Hm, now that you mention it, he doesn't look too good.

Where are you taking him?

- To the clock people.

- Oh, smart move.

Also good thinking oh yes.

- Dr. Blinky, can you get me out of Jimmy's hand?

- Oh my, that's a tough assignment.

Now let me see, uh, ah yes, how do you do, Jimmy?

Uh, shake hands.

- How do you do, I have 24 hours.

- Oh, ow. - Oh, sorry.

- But what are we gonna do about Jimmy?

- Well, take him to the clock people fast.

I'll keep Freddy here with me.

- Right, see you later.

- Bye, happy landing.

Happy.

- Come on, Freddy, I'll keep you safe.

- Oh thank you, but I sure am worried about Jimmy.

- Oh, he'll be all right,

those clock people know what time it is.

- So you see, Grandfather Clock,

we must break the mechanical time spell

the witch put on Jimmy.

- What kind of time spell are we talkin' about, sonny?

- Listen, Jimmy, what's your problem?

- I have 24 hours, I must bring Freddy to the castle.

- A 24 hour spell, huh?

Get the time machine ready.

- Yes Grandfather.

- Oh, the poor boy, he looks so sad.

Sad.

- Please don't cry,

I'll fix you a bowl of chicken clock soup.

- Please, Mother, not now.

- Jimmy's so cute, he looks like a shockproof watch

I once spent time with.

You're cute too.

What are you doing tonight, chubby?

- Now now, girl-

- Time machine's ready, Grandfather, it's ready.

- Golly, I hope it's not dangerous.

- Nothin' to worry about, sonny.

- Come on, right this way, Jimmy.

- I must go to the castle.

- Oh uh, this is a shortcut.

- Oh fuss and feathers,

they've got Jimmy in the clock house.

I've got to stop those clock people, those darn nosy bodies.

Why don't they stick to their ticks and tocks?

- Oh! - You noodlehead,

you've changed channels.

- Wait, Witchiepoo, I found Freddie Flute.

He's at Dr. Blinky's, look.

You're right.

Good bird.

Keep it up and I'll treat you to a nose job.

I'll be back with a toot and a flash.

- Bye.

- Golly, that's the most stupendous thing I've ever seen.

It's not gonna hurt him, is it?

- Not a bit sonny.

Matter of fact, he'll come out happy as a clam.

Happy.

- Jumping jellybeans, Grandfather, look at him.

Hurry up, please do what you have to do, quick.

- We're all ready to start.

Contact.

I'm going to speed up time for Jimmy.

He's gonna become 24 hours older in just 24 minutes.

- Jumping Jehoshaphat, what then, Gramps?

- Then, the witch's spell will be removed

and jimmy will be his old self again, don't you know.

- Oh hurry, please hurry.

Stand by everyone, here we go.

- Where is he?

Where did you hide my golden flute?

- We told you, Freddy's not here.

- Leave us alone, I'll get mad and burn your wig.

- Quiet, you drip, you can't fool me.

I know Freddy Flute's here

and you'd better tell me where he is or else!

I know you're here, Freddy.

Come out, come out wherever you are.

Yetch.

That's where you must be.

I'll find you.

- What a time for Dr. Blinky to be out on a house call.

- Right on time.

Let's see what we've got.

- I wonder if it worked, Grandfather.

- Like clockwork. - Jimmy, you all right?

Jimmy, speak to me, how do you feel?

- I feel great.

Where am I?

What's been happening?

- If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.

- Where's Freddy?

Look darling, here's Cling and Clang.

- Wait a minute, Cling and Clang, what's the matter?

The witch?

Dr. Blinky?

Jumping Jupiter.

Jimmy, come on, Freddy's at Dr. Blinky's

and the witch is there.

- Oh no, let's go!

- Thanks, Grandfather, bye.

Hurry, hurry!

Drat, where are you?

- Charlie, quick, call her over.

- What are you going to do?

You'll see.

- Witchie, come here, I have the flute, look in me.

Now you're clapping your pages, cookie.

Well, where is it?

- In here.

- Knock off.

- You bent my nose!

- Get lost or I'll drip hot wax on it.

- I've got Freddy, look in me.

- You'd better not fool me.

Ow, oh!

Let go or I'll give you a shot in your index!

Oh, oh oh.

Watch that, you deadbeat.

- We must have a bite together again sometime.

- Why don't you look in me, maybe I have the flute.

You're not going to fool me again.

I bet you're the one that has him.

There you are.

Ah, I've got you now, my gold dearie.

Oh no no, please help!

- Put him down, put him down!

- The witch has Freddy! - She's getting away!

- Hey you witch, put him back!

Help, help!

- Shout all you want to, no one can hear you.

I've got you at last.

- We got you, witch! - Stop!

Or I'll turn him into a French fried flute!

Let me go, please!

- What are we gonna do?

- I've got an idea, get her attention.

- I finally got you, my little fluty cutie.

- Pardon me, my good woman,

as mayor of Living Island, I'd like-

- Hold it, buster!

Move again and I'll turn you into a potato bug.

Now madame, as mayor,

I order you to cease and desist.

- Out of my way, you jolly green dumdum.

What's goin' on?

- Oh! - Gotcha.

You all right, Freddy?

Now I am.

Zacks and Zounds, where's my wand?

My wand? - Your wand?

- Get away with this! - Hurry, hurry,

quick, everybody duck, duck!
