As with OUCAST MARBLES (1956), part of a longer flick about Gumby and some marbles.Here we get to see A LOT of odd stuff (unlike the equally good OM)..there is a frightening (!) "clay marbles transofmring into clay hands" scene, care of Gumby's hacking a train corn (Gumby loves trains and fire enginges).
