[bright upbeat music]
- Jimmy, Jimmy, hurry,
I got a telegram.
[giggling]
- Boy, this sure
beats the stairs.
What's all the excitement
about Pufnstuf?
- I'll tell him, I'll tell him.
Pufnstuf's sister
is a movie star.
She's coming to Living Island.
They're gonna make a
movie here, a real movie.
- Well, you heard
old motor mouth.
That's it.
- Terrific! I've never
seen a movie being made.
- Hey, Jimmy, maybe
we can even be in it.
- Gosh, do you think
we could, Pufnstuf?
- Well, I don't know for sure.
- I guess Cling and Clang
wanna be in a movie, too.
[playful music]
[audience laughing]
They'd make a couple
of great musketeers.
- I bet there's a part
for me in the picture.
To be or not to be.
- Will you all stop?
Right now, we've got to
arrange a big reception.
- I'll spread the word.
Farewell, parting is
such sweet sorrow.
[alarm ringing]
- Gosh, Pufnstuf,
this is exciting.
I can't wait to
meet your sister.
- Oh, you'll like her,
she's a real doll.
Come on, Jimmy,
if we're gonna give her
a welcome home party,
we've got work to do.
[fun music]
[banging]
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chattering]
[crowd cheering]
- Greetings, Shirley,
how's my little sister?
- Just fine, Puffy,
good to see you!
[crowd cheering]

They love you, they love you!
Ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to welcome
the first lady of
motion pictures,
and my very own sister,
let's hear it for
Miss Shirley Pufnstuf.
- [Crowd] Yay!
[crowd clapping]
- Thank you, thank
you, thank you,
and again, thank you.
I would not be what I am today,
a famous, rich, and a
big, marvelous, wonderful,
gigantic movie star if
it wasn't for this man,
my producer,
Akim Toadenoff.
- [Crowd] Yay! Yay, yay!
- Thank you, my
little furry friends.
She may be the First Lady,
but I am boss of First Lady.
- And now I'd like to
sing one of my songs.
- [Crowd] Yay!
- Atta girl, Shirley!
That's my little sister.

- Gosh almighty, little sister,
you sure do dance
up a storm. Golly!
And you, Jimmy, you
sure surprised me.
- It was excellent,
brilliant, stupendous.
Also good.
- Thank you, sir.
- How would you like to be
in the picture with Shirley?
I will make you a big
star, who is this boy?
- This is my friend, Jimmy.
- Toadenoff the Great,
shakes your hand,
lucky you.
[audience laughing]
- Yes sir, I am.
And this is my friend, Freddy.
- How do you do, sir?
Can I be in your picture, too?
- A talking flute? You
can be in picture too.
The great Toadenoff
loves you all.
[crowd cheering]
- Hey, we're going
to be in pictures!
- Wonderful.
- Watch me.
- Looks like everyone
on Living Island
wants to be in a movie.
- I'll bet when the
witch hears about it,
she'll wanna be in it too.
Jimmy, that's it.
- What's it?
- We'll make sure the
witch gets in the movie.
While the witch is here,
I'll keep her busy.
Then you sneak into the castle
and grab her Vroom Broom
And then zoom, home you go.
[alarm ringing]
- Movie time, movie time.
Stars, extras, and stand-ins
wanted for moving picture,
Come one, come all.
You don't have to
go far to be a star.
Movie time, movie
time, movie time,
movie time, movie time.
[bones rattling]
- I was born to be a movie star.
Seymour, make me beautiful.
- Ooh, Witchiepoo, you
think there's enough time?
[wand clanking]
- How do you like that
timing, my feathered friend?
- Hey, Witchiepoo,
how do you expect
me to reach you?
With a ladder?
- Well, lower the
chair you silly spider.
Lower the chair, and quick!
- Right, Witchiepoo.
- Hurry, I'm going to be a star.
[alarm beeping]
Stop! Help!
Get me outta here!
Stop this!
[screaming]
Stop it! Will you stop?
[screaming]
[laughing]
- Now, that's funny, Witchiepoo.
You ought to do that comedy
routine for the movie.
- You want a comedy routine?
I'll give you a comedy routine.
[wand clanging]
It looks like I'll have
to make myself beautiful.
Alkazam, Alkazar, make
me a gorgeous movie star.
- I'm going to wait
until Mother's Day
and sock it to her!
[piano music]
- Cut, print, you
were great. Wonderful!
That scene was magnificent,
stupendous, fantastic.
- You were great in
that last scene, Jimmy.
- Thanks. Any sign
of the witch yet?
- She'll be here,
you can bet on that.
- That's what I'm afraid of.
- She doesn't know it,
but it's all arranged.
She's going to be
Shirley's stand-in.
- What's a stand-in?
- She gets pushed
around pretty good
while the star takes it easy.
It's a rough job,
and take it from me,
it's going to be
even rougher on her.
I'm really gonna sock it to her.
- Mr. Mayor, Mr.
Mayor, alarm, alarm.
She's coming, she's coming,
the witch is coming.
She really is coming,
the witch is coming,
she's coming, she's coming.
- Oh, Jimmy, I'm
scared, hide me.
- It's all right Freddy,
I won't let anything
happen to you.
- Better take off, Jimmy.
- There she is.
[birds chirping]
[audience laughing]
- Pardon me, miss, but
this is a closed set.
- I beg your pardon?
My name is Lola Lalapalooza,
I'm your new star.
- Oh, wonderful,
you're just in time.
We need you right away.
- Of course you
do, you dear boy.
- Gosh, please ma'am,
wait here, we'll call you.
[bright upbeat music]
- Quiet on the set!
Ready everyone, all right,
let's go for the take.
Lights, camera,
action!
- Here I am, night
after night, alone,
always alone. Waiting
for him to come back.
Waiting, waiting.
[sobbing]
Oh, please let him
come back, please.
[crying]
- Cut! Print it!
- Cut, print it.
- You are just marvelous,
my little apple strudel.
Adorable, beautiful,
sensational.
- But was I good?
- Good? No. Great? Yes.
You were inspirational,
a lesson to the world.
Sit down my little blinsky,
while I get ready
for a new sh*t.
Stand-in!
- That's you, miss.
- Are you sure this is how
you get to be a big movie star?
- It sure is, this
is your big chance,
don't goof it up!
- [Toadenoff the
Great] Stand in!
- [Assistant] Stand in!
- [Toadenoff the Great] Makeup!
- [Assistant] Makeup!
- Coming, coming. Makeup.
[audience laughing]
[birds chirping]
- [Toadenoff the Great]
Ready on the set!
- [Assistant] Ready on the set!
- Were you watching Jimmy?
I really socked it to her.
- I see how you're
keeping the witch busy.
Should I go to the castle
and get the Vroom Broom now?
- No, not yet,
I'll tell you when.
- Come, my darling
little lamb chop.
We will make your close-up now.
- Did you say close-up?
- [Toadenoff the Great]
That's all kid, b*at it!
All right, quiet on the set.
- Quiet on the set.
- Forgive me, Toady,
but those lights hurt my eyes.
- Stand-in,
I'll fix it right
away, my little blintz.
- That's all kid, b*at it.
- [Toadenoff the Great] Makeup!
- Makeup.
[drum b*at]
- The script, let
me see the script.
I have to change a
scene, let me see here.
[audience laughing]
- Makeup.
[grunting]
[thudding]
- Go, Jimmy, now!
Take her cape and this
makeup kit and hurry.
I'll keep her busy.
- Gosh, Pufnstuf, I
guess this is goodbye.
- No time for goodbyes,
Jimmy, I'll write to you.
Hurry now.
- At least when I capture
the witch's broom,
it'll make life
easier for all of you.
- Don't you worry about us,
you take good care of yourself.
Goodbye Freddy,
take care of Jimmy.
- I sure will, thanks
for everything, Puf.
- Bye-bye, boys.
- He is putting on
the witch's nose.
Dear me, who would
want a face like that?
- Look like old squaw
me leave behind.
She was so ug-ug-ugly.
- Jimmy, you look so
much like the witch,
I'm getting frightened.
- Nothing to worry about Freddy,
it's still me under here.
[evil laughter]
- Here, sit down my
fluffy little angel cake,
rest while I get
ready for next sh*t.
Stand-in!
- Stand-in!
- No, no, not again.
I'm the star, not a stand-in!
Stop that, let me go.
- Makeup!
- Makeup!
- Makeup.
[drum b*ating]
[birds chirping]
[suspenseful music]
- Freddy, we're coming to
the witch's evil trees.
You better be real quiet.
- All right, Jimmy.
But be careful.
- Hi there, Miss Witch.
- How dare you speak to
me without permission.
I have a good mind to turn
you into a telephone pole.
- Please Miss Witch,
not a telephone pole,
anything but that.
I couldn't stand all
that buzzing in my ears.
- Oh, well let's just
watch that, Buster.
- Witchiepoo, do you
have a sore throat?
Your voice sure sounds funny.
- Oh, yeah, well see
how funny this is.
- Ow!
- That's just for openers.
How would you all like
termites in your trunk?
Get me mad and I really zap you.
- Ooh, ooh, ooh, I think
that I shall never see
a witch that acts
as nutty as she.
[dramatic music]
What's the matter,
Chief? You got problems?
- Outta my way, all of you.
Or I'll turn you into
cream of mushroom soup.
[cackling]
- Okay, okay, take
it easy, boss.
We just thought you needed help.
- I don't need your help,
well don't just stand there.
Go poison somebody.
[laughing]
- Make up!
- Now just a second,
where am I going to?
- Makeup.
- Five o'clock. Time to
quit, it's five o'clock.
- That's it for today.
It's a wrap, everybody.
I, Toadenoff the Great,
say to you all, good night.
- Good night, Toadie.
- My cape, it's missing!
And my wand, someone's
stolen my magic wand!
Where is it?
I tell you,
there's a bigger thief
on this island than I am.
Drat, drat, and more drat.
- Hi there, you were just
marvelous in that last scene.
Can I have your autograph?
- Don't butter me up, you
jolly green dumb-dumb.
- Jolly green dumb-dumb,
why, you're the witch.
- You better believe!
Someone stole my
cape and my wand,
and I bet it was
your friend Jimmy.
Outta my way.
[drum b*at]
- Just a minute, Miss Witch.
There's something I'd
like to talk to you about.
- And while we're talking,
Jimmy is probably stealing
my jet broom to escape.
Oh, I'm onto you,
you lumpy lizard.
Outta my way!
Do you realize you're
attacking a woman?
- A woman? I never
think of you as a woman,
I think of you as a witch.
- That's my occupation.
But underneath it all,
I'm still a woman.
- Gee whiz, you're
right, miss Witch,
sorry about that.
You see, I was taught never
to fight with a woman.
- Of course you
were, my sweet boy.
- Let's be friends and make up.
- Make up!
[drum b*at]
[groaning]
Fool around with me, will 'ya?
[cackling]
[suspenseful music]
- Hang on Freddy, here we go.
[footsteps thumping]
- Castle, castle,
above the ground,
who's the most
beautiful witch around?
- I dunno who you are,
but after that hag
that just went in,
you're gorgeous.
- Well, thank you. Finally.
What hag? Where? Where?
It was that brat, Jimmy.
Why did you let
him in, you boob?
Take that, you dummy.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[audience laughing]
- Come on, come
on, hurry, hurry.
We have to rescue
Jimmy from the castle
before the witch gets there.
All aboard.
- Give me a good smile, Shirley,
my little puffnick.
I am going to film the big
chase for the movie. Smile.
- Hurry, hurry, hurry.
[engine hissing]
- Jimmy, did you find
the Vroom Broom yet?
- No, Freddy, I wonder
where she keeps it.
- Hi, Witchiepoo.
- Shut up until you're
spoken to, dummy.
[wand clanging]
[audience laughing]
- Where's my double bended wand?
Where is it?
Oh, here's my little beauty.
[cackling]
Overhead spirit,
underground elf,
turn me back to my evil self.
[expl*si*n]
Where's Seymour?
- Coming Witchiepoo.
- Here we are, Chiefy.
- Jimmy is in the
castle disguised as me
and he's trying to
steal my Vroom Broom.
After him, after him, after him!
- Right, Chiefy, let's split.
[frenzied music]
[bright upbeat music]
[upbeat music intensifies]
[footsteps thumping]
- Shirley, my strudel.
Smile, you're on
Toadenoff's camera!
- Freddy, I found
the Vroom Broom!
How am I gonna get
this thing started?
Well, no.
- Hurry Jimmy, let's
get it started.
- That isn't it.
The witch!
- I've got you now,
my young bucko.
- Stand back, I'll
let you have it!
- Oh yeah, steal
my face, will ya?
- Careful or I'll zap you.
- What am I wasting my
time for? Take that!
[expl*si*n]
And that!
- You missed Witchiepoo!
- Give it to him, Witchiepoo.
- Give it to him, Witchiepoo.
- You asked for it!
[exploding]
- You're rooting for the
wrong witch, dummies.
Get him, grab him,
don't let him get away!
Take that!
[wand f*ring]
They're getting away,
stop them, stop!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Fire, fire!
Oh, my beautiful Vroom Broom!
[blowing]
Fire, fire.
- [Inaudible 00:19:38]
hit the vroom broom.
- It's burning, help.
- Hurry, Jimmy, hurry, come on.
- Vroom Broom is wrecked.
- Who cares!
The main thing is, you
and Freddy are safe.
Let's get out of here.
- Stop, wait, Jimmy, go back.
- What for?
- I need more action,
more action, take two!
- Wait a minute, Toadenoff.
Oh no, you don't,
Jimmy, come on.
We have to get out of here.
- Wait, this is the
finish of my picture.
I need somebody in it.
- How about me, I'm
ready for my closeup.
- Come back, don't
go! Wait for me.
[audience laughing]
[blowing]
[crying]
- I broke my Vroom Broom.
