Synopsis
Gumby is relaxing at home when he's suddenly surprised by a door knock, as someone sent him a strange box, out of which some of the oddest toys are found. Each and every one of them grow in size, and come to life! And as if this wasn't enough, the last, an airplane, "attacks" Gumby, who thus falls into the box, where he encounters yet another world. Here a choo choo train comes up, and he rides off. He and this VERY last toy then fall out of the box into Gumby's room. Gumby then winks at us.

Production notes
A claymation stop-motion animation process called "Pixillation," which was also used for the Art Clokey series Davey and Goliath.
This is the last short to have the famous 'John Seely and Bill Loose" cue, 2-TC-201 "Eccentric Comedy", so familiar from this show and from Hanna-Barbera, and actually ghost written by famous bandleader David Rose ["Holiday for Strings"]. Don't ask why Gumby closes by winking. Something that we'd never see on TV here... pantomime and a solo episode..by this time ALL shows were getting pretty reliant on dialogie and multiple characters and even a supposed former exception like Gumby no longer was.
