It is based on the children's television series H.R. Pufnstuf, a show that features a cast of puppets on a "living island." PlotAfter Jimmy (Jack Wild) is wrongfully ejected from the school band for tripping, his flute transforms into a magical talking flute named Freddy and they venture on a journey. Orchestrated by Witchiepoo (Billie Hayes), Jimmy takes an evil boat to Living Island, an island where everything is alive. He befriends the island's inhabitants, who are led by Mayor H.R. Pufnstuf, but the evil Witchiepoo is determined to steal Freddy the Flute from him in order to impress the visiting Witches' Council and the Boss Witch (Martha Raye) so that she may win the Witch of the Year Award. The witch steals the flute by disguising herself as a pretty dance instructor. Jimmy and his new friends recover the flute by having Googy Gopher dig a tunnel to Witchiepoo's castle and faking a fire. Witchiepoo retaliates by bombing and destroying Pufnstuf's town. During the bombing, she is blown away by the West Wind (portrayed as a cowboy head), which destroys her flying vehicle. Jimmy is sorry for having endangered the Living Island inhabitants and leaves with his flute without telling them in order to prevent further danger. Witchiepoo returns to Pufnstuf's town and shrinks all of the inhabitants before casting them into her castle dungeon as prisoners. When Jimmy learns what has happened to the townspeople, he is resolved to save them. Witchiepoo invites the Witches' Council for a convention and prepares Pufnstuf as the main meal. Jimmy disguises himself as a witch to enter with the other witches. Jimmy is exposed while trying to save Pufnstuf and is placed in the dungeon with the others. Googy Gopher digs into the dungeon to save them all, except for Pufnstuf, who will soon be cooked. Once back at the town, they plan a rescue. A book tells them that the only thing that scares witches is a good fairy angel. They all dress as white good fairy angels, raid the castle, scare off the Witches' Council and save Pufnstuf. Witchiepoo is the only witch to discover that they had been faking, and she flies to try to catch the other witches to tell them to return. En route, her minion Orson sees the good guys at the town, and she orders him to use her doomsday bomb on them but also says to take the wheel. Orson accidentally drops the bomb inside the vehicle while literally taking the wheel, blowing the Vroom Broom apart and sending Witchiepoo and Orson plummeting to earth, lamenting yet another defeat. During a closing musical number, Pufnstuf says, "When good friends pull together, they can do anything." CastJack Wild - JimmyBillie Hayes - Wilhelmina W.

Pufnstuf, Sid and Marty Krofft announced in May 1969 their intentions to produce a feature film based off the series.[1] Following the success of the H.R. Pufnstuf television series, the film was rushed into production for theatrical distribution, with filming beginning in January 1970.[2] The film was financed by Universal Pictures and Kellogg's Cereal,[2] also a sponsor of the television show. Sid Krofft cast his next-door neighbor, singer Cass Elliot, as Witchiepoo's frenemy and bitter rival Witch Hazel.[3] According to actress Joy Campbell McKenzie, Elliot was "very distant. Not rude or arrogant but she just didn't mingle, which most people were surprised about."[4] Martha Raye was cast as Boss Witch. The cast and crew expected Raye to behave as a diva, but she instead befriended those behind the scenes, even inviting them to dinner.[4] However, Wild referred to Raye as "a right old cow."[5] Raye's involvement in Pufnstuf led to her role as Benita Bizarre in the Kroffts' television show The Bugaloos. The film had its world premiere matinee in San Antonio, Texas on June 3, 1970.
