What happens in “The Box Kite Kaper”

Ludicrous Lion has a kite-flying contest for whoever on Living Island can fly a kite the highest. The grand prize:100 gold buttons (which is the Living Island currency). Jimmy and Freddy want to enter the contest, giving Pufnstuf the idea to build a great big box kite for Jimmy and Freddy to fly home in. Dr. Blinkey helps build the kite by using a special glue of his that sticks things together instantly (even Cling and Clang). Witchiepoo sees this happening and she disguises herself as a Campfire Granny giving away free samples of candy that contains knockout drops. Fortunately Freddy and Cling weren't able to eat any and they escaped the witch, but after she left, the kite was destroyed. Freddy and Cling wake up everyone and they start to rebuild the kite. Later Jimmy and Freddy are on their way home via the box kite, unfortunately, Witchiepoo, Orson, and Seymour fly by on the vroom-broom, destorying the kite again. Jimmy and Freddy make back down safe, but the West Wind blows grusom
