Synopsis
To earn some money to get his mom a gift, Gumby's decided to become an entrepreneur in the fastest-growing industry in the world: watermelon raising. Gumby and Pokey trade a watermelon to a old man for a magic potion which turns watermelons into "Zoops," strange animals which zip around crying "Zoop! Zoop!" Gumby sells the critters to the zoo, and the craziness begins.
