Gumby discovers a spaceship in a toy store and decides to visit the moon. Upon reaching the moon, his space-ship is destroyed by a meteorite, leaving him stranded and confronted with strange objects that look like rocks, but which sometimes move and sprout eyes.
Looking through a telescope, Gumby’s parents discover that Gumby is in great need of help. Gumby’s father sets out to rescue him in a fire engine that has a long extension ladder. Using the fire extinguisher, he sprays the moon creatures and takes Gumby back to earth by retracting the extension ladder.
The rock-like moon creatures pursue Gumby to a crater. Here, the low temperature of the moon causes him to become stiff and unable to move. Gumby’s parents bring him back to Earth and revive him in a hospital.
On his way to the store, Gumby passes through a part of the toyshop where there are several mirrors. He loses his coin and hunts for it within three of the mirrors. In one of the mirrors, Gumby meets his ‘mirror image’ who tells him that in order to find the coin, he must do everything backwards. Gumby finally succeeds in doing this and the hunt ends successfully.
Gumby has a wild ride through buildings and streets while searching for his lost money. The car finally comes to a stop beside a pile of sand and there Gumby finds his coin.
The episode in which Gumby first meets Pokey. With the promise of a reward of 100 free ice cream cones, Gumby heads off in search of the missing red pony Pokey. Gumby finds Pokey with his hoof caught in a railroad track. Rushing to the rescue, Gumby manages to free Pokey a moment before the train goes by.
The Blockheads are bent on kidnapping Pokey, but to succeed in this, they must get rid of Gumby. Their scheme of freezing Gumby enables them to lasso Pokey, but Gumby unfreezes in time to give hot pursuit and rescue the Pony.
Gumby goes to Farmer Glenn’s Ranch. His crops are not growing properly, so Gumby helps in every way he can and finally divides himself into a lot of Gumbys, which go over the fields with many different farm machines.
In order to feed his large, hungry family, a chemist gopher injects roots of corn plants with a chemical that makes them grow into giant ears and roots. This causes great problems for Farmer Glenn. Gumby solves the problem by inventing a root machine that makes tasty roots out of weeds.
Gumby visits a medieval kingdom. Here he finds that he must fight in a joust with the Black Knight in order to save the kingdom. Just when defeat seems certain for Gumby, a fire-breathing dragon assists him.
The ingenious Gumby uses a modern invention to help a medieval kingdom, which is threatened with famine because its wheat fields are being destroyed by fires.

Gumby tries out various toys in the toy store including a tricycle, musical instruments, a swimming pool, rocking horse and finally a tiny toy train, which he manages to shrink himself into by shrinking himself down to a very small size.
A lion escapes from the zoo, frightening Gumby and Pokey who have been playing in the park. The lion proves to be friendly and asks Gumby and Pokey to show him how to go about seeing the world. Meanwhile, the zookeeper sets a lion trap to recapture the lion but instead succeeds in capturing Gumby’s father.

Gumby, Pokey and some clay birds get up to some clever hi-jinks with some very interesting toys.
Gumby goes to the moon in a toy rocket all by himself! This was the very first episode of this beloved series. Like a number of episodes, early on, it's actually a companion episode deal - in this case a two-parter with an ""alternate version"" - the first is MOON TRIP, the second TRAPPED ON THE MOON and the third/final: GUMBY ON THE MOON. In these very early ones, Gumby is EXTREMELY chunky, he is bluish green, and does NOT YET have Pokey. His voice is also MOST childlike here, improving later.
LITTLE LOST PONY: Gumby's going out to play, and runs into a horse who is caught in a train track. This just in: It's Pokey, making his debut, but so do the sinister (and ridiculously ""G"" and ""J"" letter-attired) Blockheads, who'd go on to make more appearances as series villians themselves peering behind a wall. They're goofball villians with--you guessed it folks--blocks for heads. Gumby manages to extricate the Poke-ster from the tracks and they introduce themsevles to each other only to get laughed at good-naturely, natch, by the other. The Blockheads get stopped by a tree falling down (writing this from memory.) LOST AND FOUND/MIRRORLAND Gumby is going through a series of mirrors in these two similiar epsiodes, the first with an elaborate set of attempts to get to the mirrorplot. Both involve Gumby getting a nickel, the first Gumby in a car with his mirror twin and the other with the mirrors falling down. Either way, Gumby has his coin back that we was looking for, and he is
GOPHER TROUBLE Where are all the vegetables on Farmer Glenn's place going? Turns out Farmer's got gopher problems, so Gumby wanders around the cornfield, and a tall ear of corn, enlarged by said gopher's enlarging chemistry, topples Gumby into the gopher's burrow. There the gopher explains he needs food. Offering to help, Gumby (in an early case of him being more mature despite still sounding very childike and vocally speaking VERY high girlish, thanks to Clokey employee Ruth Eggleston doing the voice) makes some roots (don't ask how) out of a food mixing-device looking contraption that Gumby builds. He makes one of his new hybrid roots, and tries it on Pokey. The horse turns into a Technicolor pony!!! (Orange spots closing in, stripes, polka dots, splotches, and even triangles). The cuckoo keeps popping and in out, warning Gumby that it's getting late! Gumby tries again, putting another root and turning out a better food in the processor,and Pokey shows postive reults. ""Hooray!!"" s
Toy Crazy and Toy Jou are basically two stories linked together.
The Groobee: The zoo's most ferocious lion has suddenly got sick and died. Five years later, Gumby meets Pokey at an exotic pet store, where Pokey is investigating Groobees. When W. C. Fields comes out to give them a demonstration, Pokey warns Gumby to increase his sales resistance, but Gumby won't let the man sell him anything. Gumby buys a Groobee, impressed with its ability to build boxes around animals. The next logical step is to go to Africa and get some new zoo animals. Gumby is attacked by a gorilla, a rhinoceros, and a lion all at once, but fortunately, the Groobee boxes them all up, so no harm done. Later, he gives a speech to the happy zoo-goers about his safari and gives them a free demonstration by accidentally losing control of the Groobee, which boxes everyone in the audience up before the bee can be restrained. The Witty Witch: A witch captures Gumby and Pokey by helicopter (as one would expect) and takes them back to her castle. No matter what they do to try and flee, they witch and her hired help are one step ahead of them. They're sent to the dungeon, where Gumby promises to come up with a plan and never does. They're taken to a theater with hundreds of other prisoners. Gumby, convinced that the witch plans to put on a spook show to scare them to death, closes his eyes and misses the witch's stupid comedy bit, which involves a piano that throws a pie in her face. Turns out the witch just wanted a captive audience for her one-joke show, and everyone goes home. Pokey refuses to tell Gumby what he missed by keeping his eyes closed. Hot Rod Granny: What are all those young kids into these days? Really fast cars, and Gumby's no exception. He and Pokey tear up the road, little knowing that they're on a collision course with wackiness. An old lady who's lost her glasses mistakes Gumby's hot rod for her little car and Pokey for her dog, Hexibar. As Pokey doesn't tell her about her mistake, she takes Gumby's car and drives around half-blind, putting herself in several hilarious and nearly lethal situations, like inadvertently entering a drag race. She's eventually stopped by the police. After serving her term, she decides that she likes the taste of speed, and buys Gumby's car, giving Gumby the funds he needs to buy another car.
GRUB GRABBER GUMBY: Hungry Gumby skates in, allowed by his (offscreen) mother to have ONE cookie but eats ALL of them! He then goes to see Pokey-0 - but winds up eating the Pokemeister's peanut butter sandwich! Not that he leaves next-door Mrs.Wheedle's pie alone, either. He then dreams, a la Stanley Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE which wouldn't even appear until 1971, that Pokey is a bipedal equine (you can call him ""Mr. Stuff"", thank you very much) who forces feeds the Gumster-strapping him to factory conveyor belt, slapping pies in his pace, filling him up with Coca-Cola, then HAMBURGERs...and ""Then comes DESSERT' - when Gumby awakens (whew!) from his nightmare, and Pokey tells him to come in for dinner. BUT...Gumby's not hungry right now!! :) (the below star a separate group of characters) TREASURE FOR HENRY Henry the bear and buddy Rodgy parrot go into a book a la G&P onto a pirate ship, to fight pirates for gold for money and stuff. The pirates put up a purty good battle - cann
A BONE FOR NOPEY It's a lovely dya outside and our clayboy's trying to find a bone for his dog, Nopey. They find a dinosaur bone in a mueseum (the clever clayboy and dog) and try to take it and bury it (the graverobbers!). GABBY AUNTIE Whie (with Gumby) visiting Gumby's lookailike aunt Gumbiddty Pokey's narcoleptic/somabulistic side takes over, and he winds up sleep-driving Gumby's big yellow car. So now, Gumby's got to drive with Auntie Gumbitty then borrow someone's speedboat to catch Pokey. OF CLAY AND CRITTERS A VERY odd episode with Gumby, Pokey and Nopey in the desert being tuned by a Cousin Itt type (while inspecting a box that fell off a Class 6-truck) onto the ground into umbrellas, and wind up in a REAL odd setting...in a (get this) blank landscape, and wind up meeting some bizzare new friends: a artist and his GIANT THUMB (after all, what's a painter without one,right), then a alien caterpillar, then gnomes coming out of a blossing flower (who turn into a ""clay carpet""!)
