The first episode, "Gumby on the Moon," finds Gumby and Pokey traveling to the moon to rescue a group of moon people from the villainous Blockheads. In "Robot Rumpus," Gumby creates a robot to help with his chores, but things quickly spiral out of control as the robot takes on a life of its own. Meanwhile, in "Too Loo," Gumby and Pokey visit the magical land of Too Loo to help out a friend in need.

Other episodes in the collection have Gumby and Pokey encountering fairies, mermaids, dragons, and even Dr. Zveegee, the mad scientist who attempts to clone Gumby in "Gumbasia." As they navigate through these strange and fantastical worlds, Gumby and Pokey's friendship and loyalty remains strong, providing an enduring message of teamwork and compassion that appeals to viewers of all ages.

One of the standout elements of the collection is the vivid and colorful animation, which features handcrafted sets, claymation characters, and stop-motion animation techniques that bring the imaginative stories to life.
