H.R. Pufnstuf season 1 episode 10, titled "Horse with the Golden Throat," follows the adventures of young Jimmy as he discovers an enchanted and strange land, inhabited by magical creatures like talking trees and dragons.
In this particular episode, Jimmy and his trusty companion, a talking flute named Freddy, find themselves embroiled in a musical mystery. When Jimmy hears a beautiful voice singing in the distance, he decides to investigate, only to find a majestic white horse with a golden throat. The horse is singing, and its voice is so beautiful that it enchants all who hear it.
Jimmy is thrilled to find such a remarkable creature, but his happiness is short-lived when he discovers that the horse has been stolen from its home by the treacherous Witchiepoo. She has hidden the horse in the forest so that no one can hear its enchanting voice and use it against her.
The White Witch, who is Witchiepoo's rival, needs the horse's voice to win the upcoming battle of the bands. The witch has been practicing for months, but she is afraid she won't be able to compete against Witchiepoo and her singing broomstick. If the White Witch has the horse's voice, however, she will be unbeatable.
Determined to save the horse and its beautiful voice, Jimmy and Freddy set out to rescue the animal from Witchiepoo's grasp. Along the way, they meet a band of musical creatures, including a saxophone bird, a xylophone mouse, and a bassoon raccoon, who agree to help them in their quest.
Together, they sneak into Witchiepoo's lair and rescue the horse. They are nearly caught by Witchiepoo, but they manage to evade her grasp with the help of their new musical friends.
Having saved the horse's golden voice, Jimmy and his friends bring the animal back to the White Witch, who is thrilled with their success. The White Witch is so grateful that she gives Jimmy a magical harmonica that lets him take music wherever he goes.
With the horse safe and sound, Jimmy and his friends return home, their hearts filled with joy and music. In "Horse with the Golden Throat," the power of music is celebrated, and the importance of friendship and bravery are emphasized.
