Gumby is, in fact, on the moon as our story opens. The resident sentient pyramids waste no time in investigating him. Their intentions are never made clear, since Gumby does his best to stay away from them. The moon's low gravity makes it easy for him to leap away, but it doesn't help the fact that he's slowly being frozen solid. Fortunately, help is on the way; Gumby's parents spot Gumby with a telescope, and Gumbo leaps to the rescue! Using the ladder on his fire truck, he climbs to the moon and brings his son back to the safety and comfort of his family.
