Gumby discovers a spaceship in a toy store and decides to visit the moon. Upon reaching the moon, his spaceship is destroyed by a meteorite, leaving him stranded and confronted with strange objects that look like rocks, but which sometimes move and sprout eyes. The rock-like moon creatures pursue Gumby to a crater. Looking through a telescope, Gumby's parents discover that Gumby is in great need of help. Gumby's father sets out to rescue him in a fire engine that has a long extension ladder. Using the fire extinguisher, he sprays the moon creatures and takes Gumby back to earth.

Gumby first appeared in the 1953 film short Gumbasia (believed to be one of the first music videos). In 1956, Gumby and his horse friend Pokey appeared on The Howdy Doody Show. It was so popular that it became its own show in 1957, called The Gumby Show. The show contained the 1956 shorts along with new ones. Each episode consisted of 3 cartoons. In the 1960s Goo the blue mermaid, Prickle the yellow dinosaur, and Nopey the dog were introduced. Later came the Blockheads, who sometimes chased after Gumby, Pokey, Prickle, and Goo with some scheme in their block heads. Gumbo and Gumba were Gumby's Father and Mother.
