Synopsis
Gumby is watching television when he hears of a pony escaped from a nearby storybook. He finds the lost pony stuck to a train track while he’s out playing, and learns that the pony, whose name is Pokey, is not really lost at all, just bored. Pokey takes Gumby to visit his world, a Western-themed story book. Two sinister characters out to claim the reward for the pony’s capture track Gumby and Pokey to a nearby saloon, where they slip ice cream into Gumby’s drink, freezing him solid. They escape with Pokey while Gumby defrosts. Gumby chases the sinister characters down, rescues Pokey, and is himself able to claim the reward: one hundred ice cream cones.
