[audience laughing]
- I have a funny feeling you're
trying to tell me something
my polka dotted friend.
- I've practicing chewing.
Just in case I ever
get anything to eat.
[audience laughing]
- If you wanna eat like a horse,
go out and work like
a horse. Get a job.
- I'm too weak to work.
I need food, food.
- Hold it, here comes
a couple of live ones.
[audience laughing]
Here munch on these
you sagging nag.
- Oh yummy, carrots. My
favorite snick snack.
- Well, if it isn't my old
friend, Mayor Pufnstuf,
bright-eyed, bushy-tailed,
and loaded with
gold buttons I hope.
How's young Jimmy
and Freddy Flute?
- Hi, Ludicrous.
- We're fine, thank you.
- What are you gonna try and
sell us this time, Ludicrous?
[horse crunching]
- I tell you what
my fine friend,
I've got a red hot
special today right here.
Would you like to buy
a stereo sea shell
that brings you continuous
and glorious music of the sea,
merely by holding
it to your ear?
Here, take a listen my boy.
- Excuse me for
a second, Freddy.
[Ludicrous humming]
[audience laughing]
- Hold it, Ludicrous, who
are you trying to hoodwink?
That was you humming.
You better give him back his
seashell, Jimmy, and let's go.
- Thanks for the concert.
I'm coming Pufnstuf,
let me get Freddy.
- [Ludicrous] What's
your hurry, amigos,
I've got something
else even more amazing.
- Pufnstuf, Freddy's
gone. He's disappeared.
- Gone? What do you mean,
gone? Where could he go?
- I put him down on the counter.
- Where's Freddy? Horsey,
did you see where he went?
- No, I didn't see anything,
[whistle blowing]
I was too busy
eating my carrots.
[audience laughing]
- What's that whistle?
- What whistle?
[whistle blowing]
[audience laughing]
- That whistle, it
came from inside him.
He swallowed Freddy.
Hello down there. Freddy,
are you all right?
- [Freddy] Help, Jimmy,
get me out of here!
- Jumping jellybeans,
he did swallow Freddy.
- You stupid nag, you
ate up a customer.
- I didn't see him [whistle
blowing] on the counter,
[whistle blowing]
honest I didn't.
- Hold still please.
Freddy, are you okay?
- [Freddy] I'm okay
but get me out of here,
I'm surrounded by carrots.
[audience laughing]
- Okay, Horsey, now give him
back. Cough, come on, cough.
[Horsey coughing]
[whistle blowing]
[audience laughing]
Come on, you can cough
harder than that, come on.
- I'm trying. [whistle blowing]
I'm trying. [whistle blowing]
- Come on Pufnstuf, help me.
- Excuse us, Horsey but
we've got to get Freddy out.
Come on Horsey, cough, cough.
[Horsey coughing]
[whistle blowing]
- Hang on, Freddy, we'll
think of something.
- [Freddy] Hurry please!
- Yeah, hurry,
get him out of me.
- It's no use.
There's only one thing to do,
we've got to take
him to Dr. Blinky's.
- Dr. Blinky's,
that's a great idea.
- No, no, you'll never get
me to go to that duck doctor.
- What's a duck doctor?
- A quack.
[audience laughing]
I'm getting out of here!
[dramatic music]
- No, wait, Horsey stop!
[audience laughing]
- He's running away with Freddy.
- Stop! Come back!
- As mayor, I order you to
halt. Halt Horsey, halt!
[audience laughing]
[dramatic music]
- Kinda hope they
don't catch him.
A whistling horse,
should make a fortune.
I could star in a
musical western.
[dramatic music]
[quirky music]
- Hurry, Witchiepoo,
it's Freddy Flute,
the Polka-dotted Horse
swallowed your golden flute.
[springy music]
- Ah-ha, there's that nitwit nag
and he's approaching
my evil trees.
I'll fix that.
[radio statics]
Calling all evil trees,
calling all evil trees,
do you read me?
- You're coming in
loud and clear, Chiefy.
- Good, now here this, Polka
dot Horse is coming through.
He swallowed Freddy Flute.
Grab him. I repeat grab him.
Hold him for me, over and out.
- Roger.
- Witchiepoo.
- Over and out.
- That lame horse
will soon be mine
and so will that gorgeous flute.
I'll scare it right out of him
with my new super
duper magic wand.
[wand exploding]
[witch screaming]
Darn, I've just got to
call in a wand repairman.
[audience laughing]
Quick, Seymour, get the smelling
salts for our punchy friend
and let me know when
that horse arrives.
I'm off to get prettied up.
[Witch singing]
[audience laughing]
- Okay, boys, you heard Witchie.
We've got to grab that nag.
- I think that I shall never see
a horse that can escape a tree.
[audience laughing]
- Stop with that dumb
poetry, will you?
We've got work to do.
- Shh, I think I
hear him coming.
- Freeze, trees.
[audience laughing]
[Horsey panting and whistling]
- Well, well, if it
isn't our old friend
the polka-dotted horse.
- Aye, spotty, want to
rub your back against me?
- [Horsey stuttering]
No, thank you.
I'll just be on my way.
- What's your hurry? Say,
that's a cute sounding whistle.
How do you do that?
- Well, anyone can do
it. [whistle blowing]
See, it's easy.
[whistle blowing]
- It sounded to me that
you swallowed a whistle
or maybe a flute.
- Grab him boys!
- No, no, stop! Stop!
- Look Puf, they got Horsey.
- Let him go. Get your
branches off that horse.
- Let me go!
[all fighting]
[quirky noise]
- Ow, my bark.
- Stop. Cut that out.
- Tie 'em Puf, get
something to tie 'em.
Let go of me.
- Take that you big oaf.
[quirky noises]
- I think that I shall never see
a coward run as fast as me.
- [Puf] Hurry, Jimmy. Get going.
- Quick, Horsey, this way.
- You ought to be ashamed of
yourself, you rotten trees.
You guys had enough
or do you want another
bust in your bark?
[audience laughing]
- We quit, you win.
- My roots are k*lling me.
- Never mind your roots, he
made a hose out of my nose.
[audience laughing]
[dramatic music]
[Horsey panting and whistling]
- Are you all right?
- I'm fine. I hope Freddy
wasn't too shaken up.
- I better find out. Freddy,
you still okay down there?
- [Freddy] I'm okay, but what
was all that bouncing around?
- We were getting away
from the evil trees.
But, don't worry, we're
going to go to Dr. Blinky's
and get you out right now.
- Hold on there.
Did I hear you say
you're taking me to
that quack doctor?
[whistle blowing]
[audience laughing]
- Well, if you don't want
to go, that's all right.
- Oh, good. That's a
[whistle blowing] relief.
- Fine, then we'll
just leave you here
for the witch and her
trees to grab you.
- Oh no! Oh, not that. I'll go.
[whistle blowing] Wait for me.
[audience laughing]
- Witchieness, come quick!
The evil trees blew it.
- How could they blow it?
It was such a simple snatch.
I'll turn those wooden
weirdos into tooth picks
Look at those buttinskis,
they're taking that nitwit
nag to Dr. Blinky's.
I've got to think
of something, fast.
- Like what, Chiefy?
- Questions,
questions, questions.
It's always questions.
When are you going to start
coming up with some answers?
[quirky noise]
- Greetings, Mayor Pufnstuf.
- Good to see you
Pufy, what's new?
- Sorry, fellas. But
this isn't a social call.
It's an emergency.
- Emergency?
- Dr. Blinky, you've
got to do something.
The horse swallowed Freddy.
- Oh, oh, oh my. Well,
how did he do that?
Swallowed Freddy? Oh, that's
terrible. Bring him in.
Bring him in. How
did he do that?
- He thought he was a carrot.
You've got to do
something, please.
- Heavens, yes. I better
check his eyesight.
Say, "Ah".
[audience laughing]
- No, no doctor. Freddy's
inside him. He's in his stomach.
- You've got to get him out.
- Yes [whistle blowing] out.
- Good heavens, he
really is down there.
Now, hold still. Open your
mouth and say, "Neigh".
- Neigh. [whistle blowing]
Neigh. [whistle blowing]
- Oh my goodness, he's got an
advanced case of flute-itis
if I've ever seen one.
- Don't worry, Freddy. Dr.
Blinky will get you out.
- [Freddy] Tell him
to hurry, please.
- Let's get him over to
the operating table, quick.
- No, no, please
don't. I'm scared.
- Now, come on Horsey,
do as the doctor says.
- No. No, I won't. You can't
[whistle blowing] make me.
Watch my head. Whoops.
Careful, careful.
Don't pinch my tail. Watch
it. Oh. Oh. Watch it.
- We're watching it,
we're watching it.
- Careful we don't jiggle Freddy
- Oh, why did I do it?
I'll never swallow another
[whistle blowing] flute
as long as I live.
- Shh, quiet.
- How's Freddy
doing? Is he okay?
- Oh, he's fine. Just whistling
to keep up his courage.
[audience laughing]
- What are you going to do now?
How are you going to get
him out? Tell us. Tell us.
- I wish I knew. This is my
first flute removal case.
- Oh, I'm getting [whistle
blowing] out of here.
- Let the doc help you
horse and by tomorrow,
you'll be as healthy as I am.
[audience laughing]
- That's what I'm [whistle
blowing] afraid of.
[audience laughing]
- Doc, there's a case like
this in me on page 68.
They didn't operate, they
scared it out of him.
- If that's no good,
let me give him a little
ha ha and tickle it out of him.
- No, no, Doc. I've
really got a great idea
how to get Freddy out, see.
- Quiet, I'm the doctor here.
I'm the one that went to
medical school, not you.
Now, "quiet", I said. Quiet.
- Ah, Doc.
- Quiet, or leave.
- Good idea. I'm
leaving. Goodbye.
[whistle blowing]
[audience laughing]
- No, no, get back your sick.
Oh my, oh.
[Jimmy shouting]
- Help, help, help,
let me go, let me go.
Watch it, watch it.
Let me, let go of me.
- Witchiepoo, are you
just going to stand there?
- That's right.
Dr. Blinky will get the
flute out of that horse.
Just like I figured he would.
He'll do all the work for me and
save the wear and
tear on my wand.
- How you gonna make
the grab, Chiefy?
- Easy, I'll grab the flute
and leave them holding the nag.
[evil cackling]
[audience laughing]
Get it? Holding the
bag, holding the nag?
[Witch laughing]
[bouncing music]
- Let's see. No, that's not it.
Oh, oh, no that's not it.
Oh, here it, nope,
that's not it.
- Hurry, Doc.
- What are you looking for?
- What else? A flute remover.
I must have one here someplace.
[audience laughing]
- No, please. [whistle
blowing] Let me go.
- Hey, Doc, listen to me.
I tell ya I know how to
get the flute out, see.
- If I told you once, I
told you a hundred times.
Silence, please silence.
[whistle blowing] I must
have absolute silence.
Oh, I don't want
to say anything,
but this horse suddenly
grew a long, hairy tongue.
- That's not his tongue, Doc.
- Oh, for goodness
sake [Doc laughs]
I must get my glasses fixed.
[audience laughs]
- Now, behave yourself, Horsey.
- Hold him still you guys.
- We're trying. Now, please,
you've got to get Freddy out.
- Well, I'm trying to.
Oops, I dropped my-
Let's see now. I have
just what I need here.
This will do it, this will.
Now, let's see. Open
your mouth wide.
Oh, goodness, me. Amazing,
a horse with two tails.
[audience laughing]
- No, Doc. He moved again.
Now hold still, Horsey.
- [Witch] Mercy, mercy,
emergency. Help, Doctor.
- What's that?
- Mercy, mercy, help
Doctor, help. Help.
- Help. Is there
a doctor in there?
- We need a doctor.
[quirky noise]
- If we're going to get
inside and grab that flute,
you're going to need to
be a lot sicker than that.
- Oh
- Mercy, help, help.
- [Seymour] Oh, I'm
sick. [Seymour crying]
- Hark, the cry of mercy.
I am a doctor, I
must go, immediately.
- Wait, what about Freddy?
- Doc, you've got to
get Freddy out of Horse.
- I'll be back in an instant.
You heard, it's an emergency.
- Let him go. I can [whistle
blowing] wait a year or two.
[audience laughing]
- [Witch] Help. Is there
a doctor in the house?
- Coming, coming.
- What a day. Busy, busy, busy.
[audience laughing]
[Seymour crying]
- Oh, this is terrible,
awful, frightful.
I must do something right away.
[Seymour crying]
- You poor dear. You must
have some terrible disease
to look that bad.
- I'm not the one who's
sick, you dope. He is.
The poor, little, sweet,
angel on the stretcher.
- Oh, well, you
could have fooled me.
Just a minute here,
you're the witch.
- Of course I'm the witch.
But, this is a truce, and I've
come on an errand of mercy.
Please, Doctor, the patient.
- Oh, the poor fellow.
My goodness, he looks
worse than you do.
He must really be sick.
- Cut it out. [whistle
blowing] Hey, cut it out.
Let me out. [whistle blowing]
Let me out, will you.
- Not until we get
Freddy out of you.
Freddy, the doctor
will be right back.
- [Freddy] Tell him to hurry.
- Pufnstuf, what're
we going to do?
- If someone will just listen
to me, I know what to do, see.
- Okay, Fireplace,
what's your idea.
- Smoke.
- Smoke?
- Sure, I'll puff my
cigar real hard, see.
Fill up the place
with smoke, see.
And the horse will
cough up Freddy, see.
- Gosh, you think it'll work?
- Watch me. Here I go.
[audience laughing]
- No, stop that. [coughing]
- Fireplace, cut that out.
We can't breath.
[coughing]
[whistle blowing]
- Please Doctor, don't you
think we should take him inside?
Come, we'll carry him.
- We better not move him.
I better take his pulse.
[Seymour crying]
- Right, one, two,
three, four, five, six.
I hope he's not suffering
from dish pan hands,
or we're really in trouble.
[audience laughing]
Let's see now.
[audience laughing]
Minus one. [audience laughing]
- That's mine.
Come on Doctor, let's get
this sicky inside your house.
Move, Orson.
- Yes, my Queen.
- I told you he's
too sick to be moved.
I'll take care of him out here.
Now you did it. I'll have to
take his pulse all over again.
I may have to operate
immediately, too.
[all coughing]
[whistle blowing]
- I need air.
- Hey, Fireplace,
inhale, inhale.
- My pages are being barbecued.
- It doesn't bother me. In
one ear and out my mouth.
[all coughing]
[whistle blowing]
- Fireplace, we're choking.
Turn off that smoke.
- Horsey, you better
get out of here.
Freddy must be choking. Hurry!
- [Puf] Hurry, hurry!
[all coughing]
- Air. [whistle blowing] Air.
- [Jimmy] Freddy!
[Freddy screaming]
- I got him. I got the golden
tooty flutey. [Witch laughing]
Oh, I know I had some great
magic, but this is ridiculous.
[Witch cackling]
- What's going on here?
- [Freddy] Jimmy, help!
- It's the witch and
she's got Freddy.
- Hand him over, madame.
- Like heck I will. Stand back,
all of you or I'll zap you.
Orson, Seymour, our fun is
done. Let's scoopa da boop.
- Hey, wait a minute,
you're supposed to be sick.
- I was, but you're such a
great doctor, I'm all better.
Thanks a heap.
- Watch out Witchie, the house.
- Oh no, it's going to sneeze.
Stop! I order you to stop.
- Hit the ground.
- Hurry, hurry.
[house sneezing]
[wind blowing]
[audience laughing]
- Let's get out of here.
- Stupid house, can't you cover
your door when you sneeze?
[house sneezing]
[Witch screaming]
[all laugh]
- I saw those red bloomers.
- Thank goodness your
house is allergic to smoke.
Now, where's Freddy? I
didn't see where he landed.
- I didn't see him either.
- Neither did I.
- Then what happened to him?
Last I saw he went flying
out of the witch's hand.
Puf, have you seen him?
- No, I didn't [whistle blowing]
[audience laughing]
Jimmy, I can't figure where
he went. [whistle blowing]
I haven't seen him any place.
- Oh, no. Here we go again.
[audience laughing]
- Back to the operating table.
- No, no please
[whistle blowing]
Oh, not that. Oh,
no. Oh, please no.
- Relax.
- Oh, my goodness. Oh no.
Oh no. Oh, I'm scared.
