Oops! Goodness gracious, Jimmy.

I almost stepped on you.

Jimmy, come on, get up.

This is no time
to sleep. Come on.

- Oh, my head.

- Jimmy, what's the matter?

Are you all right?

- Hi, who are you?

- Huh? I'm your friend, Horace.

Don't you remember me, Jimmy?

- No. Who's Jimmy?

- You are Jimmy.
[audience laughs]

- Is that my name?

- Oh, gosh. You don't
remember your own name.

And you don't remember me?

Oh, boy. Something's wrong.

Help! Help!

Someone help!

- What's the matter?
What's wrong?

- Help, Mayor Pufnstuf.
Am I glad to see you.

Jimmy can't remember anything.

- Easy, Horace. Take it easy.

Hi, Jimmy. We were
looking for you.

- Who are you?

- See, I told ya. I told ya.

- You know who I am, Jimmy.
I'm your friend, Pufnstuf.

- Who?

- Pufnstuf. And this
here is your pal, Freddy.

- Who's Freddy?

- Jimmy, stop playing games.

I'm Freddy.

- Surly you remember
Cling and Clang.

- Who?

- That does it.
[audience laughs]

Jimmy, we're taking
you to see Dr. Blinky.

- Who?

- Who? I'm the owl.

I'm supposed to
say who, not you.

Oh, my gracious.
[audience laughs]

Here it is. A lumpity bump.

And what a lumpity bump.

Look, Pufnstuf, see? Right here.

- Ow! That hurts!

- Please don't hurt
him, Dr. Blinky.

- Excuse me a minute, Jimmy.

Uh, uh, Pufnstuf, I'm afraid
it's not very good news.

He's got amnesia.

Or as we doctors
call it, forgetitis.

- [Pufnstuf]
Forgetitis? What's that?

- Well, you see,
um. Oh my, I forgot.

Oh, no, no. I remember.

Forgetitis is when a person
gets a bomp on the bean.

But don't worry, I've
got just the thing.

A new invention I've
been working on.

A magic spray that
restores the memory.

- Say, what's going on anyway?

- Jimmy, please, Dr. Blinky's
gonna try and help you.

- That's right.

- What are you
gonna do with that?

- I'm just going to
give you a little whiff

of this magic spray.

It'll make you forget all
about your forgetitis.

And when you forget all
about what you forgot

that will make you remember.

[audience laughs]

- What did you say?

- That's doctor stuff.

Now, Pufnstuf, try
and remind Jimmy

of some very special event.

If he remembers,
we've got it made.

- Right. Let's see.

Oo, I know! His birthday party.

Everyone remembers
their birthday parties.

Jimmy, remember
your birthday party?

All the fun we had?

Think, Jimmy. Think.

- Oh, please, Jimmy, think.

- Think birthday party, Jimmy.

Close your eyes. Take a
deep breath and think.

Hey!

[gentle music]

- Jimmy? Jimmy, speak
to us, say something.

- Who are all of you?

[audience laughs]

- Oh!
- What are you doing to me?

Why do you keep
calling me Jimmy?

- Jumping butter beans,
Dr. Blinky. It didn't work.

He still doesn't remember.

- I'm getting out of here.

- Oh, no, no. Wait a
minute, Jimmy, please.

I just have to give
you a stronger dose.

- Jimmy, please. Dr. Blinky
is trying to help you.

- Pufnstuf, tell him to think
about something special.

If we can get him to
remember just one thing,

he'll be cured.

- Jimmy, remember the time
you disguised yourself

as a beggar to sneak the
candle into the witch's castle?

Do you remember? Huh?

- Close your eyes
and think beggar.

- [Both] Think, Jimmy, think.

- You're a beggar. A beggar.

[gentle music]

- Alms for the poor beggar.

Alms! Alms for the
poor and retched.

- Say there, you beggar.

What are you doing around here?

- Please, sir. Charity
for starving a man.

- We don't give
charity around here.

Scrap. Get lost.

- Go!

- Wait, kind-feathered sir.

How would you like to buy my
candle, my only possession,

for a few buttons
or crust of bread?

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

Maybe that'll get
her off our backs.

[audience laughs]

- But we don't have any buttons.

- We don't need any, dummy.

Watch, now see here,
my ragged fellow.

[gentle music]

- Do you remember me now, Jimmy?

I'm Pufnstuf.

- And I'm Freddy.

- And Cling and Clang.
Do you remember?

- Oh, goodness gracious.

I better go mix up another
batch. A real strong one.

Come on, Cling and Clang.

I need you to hold the bottles.

Puf, you'll have to mix
while I pour. Hurry!

[audience laughs]

- We'll be right back, Jimmy.

Coming, Dr. Blinky, coming.

[audience laughs]

Where are you going, Jimmy?

Dr. Blinky hasn't finished.

- Well, I'm finished.

I've had enough. I'm leaving.

I've gotta find out who I'm.

- Jimmy, wait, wait. Come back.

- Dr. Blinky,
Pufnstuf, come quickly.

- Jimmy's running
away. Help, help!

[dramatic music]

Help! Pufnstuf, Dr. Blinky,
Jimmy just walked out.

- Walked out?

Where did he go?

- He didn't say. It
was all very spooky.

[audience laughs]

- Oh, my goodness.

He shouldn't be wandering
around in the forest

without a memory.

The witch will get him for sure.

- Welleckers! You
stay here, Freddy.

Come on, Cling and Clang.

We've got to find Jimmy before
the witch does. Let's go!

[playful music]|
[Jimmy whistling]

- Look! Over there.

It's the boy. Jimmy.

- Let's grab him and
bring him to the witch.

- Right. Maybe she'll
give us a reward.

- Shh, quiet. Here he comes.

[ominous music]

- Got ya!

- Hey, what are you doing?

Cut that out!

- We've got you. And this
time you won't escape.

- Let me go! Who are you?

- Who are we? You
must be kidding.

- You're coming with us.

We're taking you
right to the witch.

- The witch? What's a witch?

- What's a witch? [laughs]

She's a lovely lady
who lives in a castle

with a lot of magic
tricks to show you.

- Yes, she's a barrel of laughs.

- I could use a few laughs.
[audience laughs]

- Well, wait till you meet her.

She'll have you in stitches.

- Yeah. You'll die laughing.

[trees laughing]
[audience laughs]

- Come on, sonny.

- Come on.
[tree chuckling]

- Jimmy! Jimmy,
where are you, Jimmy?

It's no use, boys.
We've looked everywhere.

The witch must have him.

Come on, let's go to
the castle. Hurry!

[spooky music]

♪ Lullaby, dear Witchiepoo ♪

♪ Close your eyes
and go boo-boo ♪

- Boo-boo? That's bye-bye.

- But bye-bye doesn't
rhythm with Witchiepoo.

Boo-boo does.

- You cuckoo Caruso's.

Who can take a beauty
nap with you two around.

Now, shut up! I
wanna go to sleep!

[audience laughs]

I told you,
[indistinct] be quite!

- But we didn't make a sound.

- Who let you in?

What are trees doing here?

You're supposed to be
guarding my forest.

Now get back to work before
I turn you into toothpicks.

- But, Witchiepoo, wait!

We brought you a present. Look.

- Jimmy! You captured Jimmy!

Goryoskee, This is my lucky day!

- Hey, the trees were right.

You sure are a fun person.

I suppose you're the witch.

- You suppose? [laughs]

He supposes I'm the witch.

That's rich. [laughs]

[audience laughs]

- Excuse me, your leadership.

- Are you overgrown
splinters still here?

- Well, we thought you
might have a reward for us.

- Oh, did you now?

A reward. Well,
you shall have it.

How's this for a reward?

[trees grunting]
[audience laughs]

Now, get back to your forest

before I zap y'all into sawdust
and sweep you out the door.

And don't drop any
leaves on the way out.

[Witchiepoo laughs]
[audience laughs]

- Boy, this sure
is a big castle.

- Oh, wait till you see the
downstairs. It's enormous.

You might say it's
like a dungeon.

[audience laughs]

- Oh, Witchiepoo,

what wonderful, evil,
rotten, scary things

are we going to do to him?

- First order of
business is frisk him.

He always carries that
golden flute around with him.

Search him good.

- Cut that out! I
don't have any flute.

What are you talking about?

- He's clean.

- I suppose you're
going to tell me

you never carry
Freddy Flute with you.

- No, I don't.

I only just met him back in
some goofy doctor's place

with some green dragon
they call Muffin Stuffins.

[audience laughs]

I can't remember his name.

Can't remember my name.

I can't remember you.

I can't remember anything.

- Say, are you putting me on?

- Do you mind if I sit down?
- No.

- Everything's so hazy.

The doctor said I
have forgetitis.

- Forgetitis?

- I hope it ain't catching.

- Forgetitis, aye?

Well, we'll soon find out
if you are faking or not

with this!

Now you say you
don't remember me.

- That's right. I've
never met you before.

- And you don't remember

when I turned you
into a mechanical boy?

- A mechanical boy? What's that?

- I'll show you.

Evil spirits, mean
and tyrannical.

Make Jimmy remember
when he was mechanical.

Why are you walking that way?

♪ I am a mechanical boy ♪

♪ Like a mechanical toy ♪

♪ I follow directions,
whatever I'm told ♪

♪ I never get hot and

- Well, my little stranger,
now do you remember me?

- Sorry, ma'am, but I don't.

I don't remember anything.

- You don't, aye?

Well, I guess I'll just
have to try a stronger zap.

I'll make you remember.

[spooky music]

Now you've just got to remember

that time I sang in your show.

- Sang? In my show?

What are you talking about?

- Okay, see if
this will jolt you.

Earth, snow, slime and grime.

Think way back. It's showtime!

- Yes, go on! Think!

- I think I'd like
something to eat.

Have you got any
milk and cookies?

- Milk and cookies? Oo!
[audience laughs]

Orson and Seymour,
just don't stand there.

Bring him some milk
cookies and hurry.

Think, Jimmy. Try and remember.

I want to know everything.

Where you've got
the flute hidden,

all of Pufnstuf's secrets,

everything!

Think!

[dramatic music]

- Hurry, boys. Hurry.

- Shh.

[ominous music]
[door creaks]

- We're in luck!

The witch's rear door is open.

Come on, we're gonna sneak in.

And if Jimmy's in there,

we'll have to figure
some way to rescue him.

[ominous music continues]

- Boy, these cookies are
good. You're a nice lady.

- Of course I am, dear boy.

Now should we try and
remember once again?

I'll just give you
another little zap and-

- Stop everything!

- Yikes! It's the good guys!

[audience laughs]

- Hold it!

Halt, stop, desist,
and just a darn minute.

As mayor of this island,

I order you to release
all prisoners immediately.

And that means Jimmy.

- [laughs] Have you
flipped your beanies?

This is my castle
and I'm the law here.

And this is my little enforcer.

- Run, Jimmy, run! We'll
take care of the witch.

- All right. You've
asked for it!

And I'm gonna-

[witch boings]

My wand! Jimmy, get my wand!

- Jimmy, grab the wand.

- Jimmy, grab the wand!

Give it to me, Jimmy!

- Jimmy, zap her! Zap her!

Hurry, believe me,
I'm your friend.

- Give me the wand.
I'm your friend.

Didn't I give you
milk and cookies?

- You sure did, ma'am.

Why did you break in here?

Why don't you leave
this nice lady alone?

- That's telling him, sonny.

Now give me the wand.

- Jimmy, she's the
evil witch. Zap her!

- Don't listen to
him. Listen to me.

Don't point that wand
at me! Point it at him!

- That's it, Jimmy. Zap her!

- You've got no right
scaring this nice lady.

- That's right, Jimmy. Zap him.

Say, "Bee's knees. I
order you to freeze."

- No, Jimmy, don't!

- Bee's knees. I order you to-

[magic zapping]
- Oh, my!

[bricks banging]
[everyone exclaiming]

- Pufnstuf, what are we
doing in a witch's castle?

- Jimmy, you're all right!

That bump on the head
brought your memory back.

Quick, let's get outta here.

- Let's go, Cling and Clang.

- Stop! They're getting away.

After them. Orson, get my wand.

My wand. Hurry, you stupid bird!

Hurry!

Quick, Orson! Quick.

Zap them! Zap them!

- Bee's knees.

I order you to freeze.
[magic booms]

[light bangs]
[audience laughs]

Oops! Sorry about
that, Witchiepoo.

- Witchiepoo? Who's Witchiepoo?

[audience laughs]

- Oh, no! Not her now!

- Who are you, you weird bird?

Have we met?

- Don't you remember?
It's me, Orson.

- What's an Orson?
