Description
H.R. Pufnstuf is the story of Jimmy, a boy with a talking golden flute, whose adventure begins when he climbs into an abandoned sailboat on the shore of a lake. But it is Witchiepoo’s trick to capture the boy to get his magic flute. He and the flute are rescued by a kindly dragon named H.R. Pufnstuf on Living Island where almost everything talks. All would be happy, – what with dancing trees, singing frogs and a lollipop that owns a candy store– if it wasn’t for that mean ol’ Witchiepoo who keeps coming after the flute.
Sid & Marty swear up and down “H.R.” stands for “Royal Highness” backwards. H.R. Pufnstuf employed quite a few “little people”. Marty discovered one selling newspapers on Hollywood Blvd.
