Studio
Clokey Productions, National Broadcasting Company

Synopsis

Gumby is running away to way out there- outer space. He finds home on an asteroid, or, as Gumby puts it, "a small planet." Gumby and Pokey go into outer space and visit three small planets. The first has a bratty boy (who looks like Davey from "Davey and Goliath") with a model railroad. The second has a little girl disguised as a dinosaur monster. And the third has a boy playing the piano who turns vampirelike when he is disturbed.
