[upbeat music]
- Golly, Freddie sure
is enjoying our picnic.
[upbeat music]
[Pufnstuf boings]
Cling and Clang, stop that now.
[audience laughing]
[wind howls]
- Look, it's the witch
on her vroom broom.
- Oh my.
[wind howls]
- 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.
[wind howls]
[dramatic music]
- 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.
[gentle music]
- 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.
[dramatic music]
- [Jimmy] 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.
[dramatic music]
- 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.
[gentle music]
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.
[magic explodes]
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[audience laughing]
[dramatic music]
- Did you see those
goodie two shoes run
when I dive bombed them?
[Witchiepoo laughs]
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.
[machine beeps]
[static buzzes]
- 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.
[machine beeps]
Oh fiddle faddle.
[machine boings]
[Witchiepoo yells]
I broke my foot.
[machine beeps]
- [Seymour] Ow, help, help.
- Orson, did you hear that
machine calling for help?
- [Orson] 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.
[audience laughing]
[dramatic music]
- Mr. Candle, this is
the dangerous part.
It's not too late to
back out now, you know?
- [laughs] After living with
Dr. Blinky, I'm used to danger.
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[dramatic music]
- Bye.
Shh.
[dramatic music]
- 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.

Guards, throw this bum out.
[audience laughing]

you're pure rotten.
[audience laughing]

Nice work, boys, it

- 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.
[dramatic music]
- Come on, let's go.
Come on, come on, boys.
- Orson, Seymour, where are you?
I wanna kick you both goodnight.
[audience laughing]
Oh, I forgot I threw 'em out,
no wonder it's so
peaceful around here.
- [Orson And Seymour]
Surprise, surprise.
[Witchiepoo screams]
- 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 p*ssy 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.
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[audience laughing]
Now, think gruesome twosome.
[Witchiepoo laughs]
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music continues]
Well rotten book, I'm too tired
to read anymore tonight.
[Witchiepoo yawns]
[audience laughing]
- Witchiepoo, Witchiepoo,
come on, Witchiepoo,
there's a good
spell on my page 67.
Witchiepoo.
[Witchiepoo snores]
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.
[audience laughing]
- [Candle] Well that
was a tough break.
- [Rotten] That's what he
gets for hanging around
with those other groans,
Pufnstuf, Jimmy, Dr. Blinky.
- [Candle] 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.
- Where, where?
Who's a spy?
Where?
- Candle is a spy.
Candle is a spy.
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[Rotten book screams]
- Oh, that smarts.
- Hurry Jimmy, hurry, go.
- [Witchiepoo] 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.
- [Witchiepoo] I
can't breathe, help.
- Help, guard, help.
Orson, Seymour.
[audience laughing]
- [Witchiepoo]
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?
[audience laughing]
- 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...
[door creaks]
Come back here you dumb, dumbs.
Ooh, when I get my hands on you
I'm gonna pulverize you.
Ooh, I'm gonna...
[Witchiepoo bangs]
[dramatic music]
- Timber.
[audience laughing]
- 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 [indistinct].
- 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.
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[audience laughing]
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.
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[audience laughing]
In we go.
Now, need some light.
I always thought these
matches were striking.
Oh there.
Now I just...
There.
[magic explodes]
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[audience laughing]
- 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.
[indistinct]
[audience laughing]
- No, no, they've been
changed into mushrooms.
- [Jimmy] 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.
