A young English boy named Jimmy had gone out to play with his magical golden talking flute, Freddy , the only magical talking flute in the world; but when Jimmy accepts a ride in a beautiful talking boat, he falls into a trap set up by a kooky old witch named Witchiepoo , who wants Freddy for herself; Jimmy washes up on the shores of Living Island , a magical island where everything is alive, and is rescued by Mayor Pufnstuf and his Rescue Racer crew, Cling and Clang.
Pufnstuf was a talking dragon, who takes it upon himself to protect his new friends Jimmy and Freddy from Witchiepoo, who will stop at nothing to steal Freddy, and is aided by her two bumbling flunkies Orson and Seymour a talking vulture, and spider, respectively.
