00:02There's the bell.
00:07That's the old footwork, Barney!
00:13Barney hasn't hit him yet.
00:15Barney couldn't hit the floor with his hat.
00:18How am I doing, pal?
00:19Great pal, just great!
00:43Come on!
01:21Fred? Oh, Fred?
01:23Yeah, Wilma?
01:25Have you seen the newspaper?
01:26Uh-huh. I'm reading it.
01:29Well, can I have a piece of it, please?
01:32Okay. Just a minute.
01:36Here. Now, don't get it all mixed up.
01:39I haven't read that section yet.
01:40Thanks, Fred.
01:42All right.
01:46Hey, Fred.
01:47Barney! Come on in, pal.
01:49No. You come out, Fred.
01:51I want you to do me a favor.
01:53All right. All right. I'll be right out.
01:57Well, favors. That's all that Barney wants.
01:59Oh, what a neighbor.
02:02Before you even ask, I'm telling you I'm broke.
02:05That I know, Fred. But can you keep a secret?
02:07Secret? What secret?
02:09Well, you know how Betty keeps harping about how I never bought her an engagement ring before we was married?
02:14Yeah, I should know. Wilma gives me the same routine.
02:18Well, I got a surprise for Betty.
02:21Get a load of this.
02:23Wow. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo.
02:26What a sparkler.
02:28How did you get it, Barney?
02:30A down payment at the Buddy Buddy Credit Jewelers.
02:33How else?
02:35420 easy payments, and it's mine.
02:38Wow.
02:40That's great, pal.
02:41That's great.
02:42And when are you going to spring the big surprise on Betty, huh?
02:45Well, I don't want to give it to her till Saturday.
02:48So, uh, do me a favor, will you, pal?
02:50You keep it in your house till then.
02:53And that way Betty won't accidentally find it and spoil my surprise.
02:57Okay, Barney boy.
02:59Ho, ho, what a shiny rock.
03:02Hey, uh, but, uh, be careful with it, huh, Fred?
03:04Well, don't worry, Barney.
03:06It'll be safe with old Fred.
03:09Thanks a lot, pal.
03:11That Fred, he's one of the good ones.
03:14Now, let's see, where will I hide the ring so Wilma won't find it and blab to Betty?
03:21Wait a minute, that's it.
03:23I'll hide it in the flower.
03:25With all these new frozen pies, Wilma never does any bacon anymore.
03:32Ah, that'll do it.
03:34Fred!
03:35Ah, hiya, hiya, Wilma.
03:39What in the world are you doing up on that chair?
03:42Well, what do you think I'd be doing up on a chair?
03:45I, uh, I, uh, I saw a mouse.
03:48That's what.
03:50Okay.
03:51You're in one of your mysterious moods today.
03:54Have fun.
03:56Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:57That's the old fast thinking.
04:00Freddy boy, the quick and live artist.
04:03Yes, sir.
04:06Hmm.
04:07What does that sound?
04:09I haven't heard that for years.
04:12Oh, yes, the egg beater.
04:15Wilma must be making a cake.
04:17A cake!
04:18Flower!
04:19The ring!
04:20Yikes!
04:21Hold it!
04:22Hold it!
04:28What do you think you're doing?
04:30Wilma?
04:30I think I'm making a cake for my loudmouth husband who's acting like he flipped his lid today.
04:37I don't want a cake, Wilma.
04:38It's, uh, too, uh, too...
04:40Uh, go ahead, Fred.
04:42Say it.
04:43I dare you.
04:44Okay.
04:45It's too fat.
04:49Well, I gotta watch my weight, don't I?
04:52That ought to be easy.
04:53There's so much to watch.
04:55Droll.
04:56Very droll.
04:58Tch.
04:59You made a real funny...
05:04Well, what's he up to?
05:11Fred, why did you take the flower into the bedroom?
05:17Fred!
05:19Fred, come out of there.
05:22You called Wilma?
05:23What's the matter with you?
05:25Have you lost your mind?
05:26Go take a shower and let the cold water run in your head.
05:32The ring wasn't in the flower canister, so it's got to be in the batter.
05:38Fred!
05:39What are you peeking around corners for?
05:41Well, I, uh, I, uh, I didn't want to startle you.
05:46Hmm.
05:46Well, I was gonna run over and borrow an egg from Betty, but I don't know if I should leave
05:52you alone.
05:53What do you mean?
05:54I'm all right.
05:55Go ahead.
05:56Well, okay.
05:58But I'll be right back.
06:02She's gone.
06:03Now's my chance to get that ring.
06:09Fred!
06:10When are you gonna grow up?
06:12Get your hand out of that batter and help me with this dodo egg.
06:18Imagine.
06:19Eating cake batter.
06:20Why, you can't even wait until I bake the cake you don't want.
06:26There.
06:27It's finally in the oven.
06:30Now, Fred, you stay away from this oven.
06:32If you open it, the cake will fall.
06:34All right, all right.
06:37Fred's in an odd mood today.
06:40I better leave him alone for a while.
06:48Now, I'll get the ring out of the cake after it's baked.
06:52I'll go ahead and read a book, get it off my mind.
06:56And the big, bad, saber-toothed tiger asked Little Red Riding Hood what she had in the basket.
07:02She opened the basket and said, I'm gonna give Grandma this nice cake.
07:08Cake!
07:09That did it.
07:10Now it's on my mind again.
07:13Hmm.
07:13I bet I could get that ring out without Wilma knowing it.
07:21Ah, I did it.
07:27Fred, I asked you not to open that oven door.
07:30I said, Fred, don't open that oven door.
07:33But no, Nosey has to open the oven door and see what's inside.
07:37So that will be the last cake I ever baked for you.
07:42You want me to take the garbage can out?
07:44No, I'll do it myself.
07:47Oh, well.
07:48I'll get the ring out of the can later.
07:51That was lucky.
07:52The garbage truck was just passing by.
07:54The garbage truck?
07:55Oh, no!
08:06This is a stick-up.
08:08Raise your hands and don't turn around.
08:13Okay, I got what I want.
08:16Put your hands down and just keep moving.
08:21I just don't get it.
08:22What kind of a screwball would hijack a garbage truck?
08:30It wasn't easy, but I got it.
08:32Now to make sure that won't happen again.
08:36Let's see.
08:37I'll try the closet this time.
08:42Ouch!
08:46That's it.
08:47The bowling ball.
08:50I'll hide the ring in the finger hole.
08:53She'll never find it in this old bowling ball.
08:56Now tell Bonnie it's hidden in a safe place.
09:00Hey, Bonnie!
09:03Why is it men refuse to close doors?
09:08Even the closet door is open.
09:11There.
09:15That old bowling ball.
09:17I'll put that in a safe place.
09:20I'll bury it in the yard.
09:26It's a diamond ring.
09:28Oh, no.
09:29It's a diamond ring.
09:29Oh, no wonder Fred was acting so mysterious today.
09:32Bless his little fat heart.
09:35Oh, I don't want to spoil Fred's surprise,
09:37but I've just got to show this to Betty
09:39before I put it back.
09:43Wilma, it's simply gorgeous.
09:45Oh, I wish I could get Barney to get me one.
09:48But he's so, so...
09:51Conservative?
09:52No.
09:54Frugal?
09:55No.
09:56Cautious?
09:57No, but when you get to Stingy, slow down.
10:00You'll be getting one.
10:04I bet if you hinted to Barney, he'd get you one.
10:07That's how I got this.
10:09I hinted for ten years, but it paid off.
10:12Well, maybe if I hint twice as hard,
10:14it'll only take me five years.
10:17I know this sounds nutty,
10:18but I've got to get back and put my ring back
10:20in the bowling ball.
10:22Bye, Wilma.
10:23You lucky girl.
10:26That's right, Barney.
10:27But I make a promise.
10:30I keep it.
10:32I got that ring hidden where no one can find it.
10:36You're a real pal, Freddy boy.
10:40And real lucky, too.
10:42Lucky nothing.
10:43That's the way I played it.
10:45Hey, I better get home now, Barney.
10:47Wilma was pretty sore when I left.
10:50See you later, pal.
10:52Yeah, so long, Fred.
10:54Wilma, honey, may I come in?
10:58Fred!
11:00Darling, you're home at last.
11:02You lie down and rest
11:04while I fix you a few dinosaur steak sandwiches.
11:07My mother is wrong, Fred.
11:10You are a swell guy.
11:14I'll be right back with the food, Jack.
11:19She's flipped.
11:20I've gone too far.
11:23Oh, Fred.
11:25Look.
11:27Strike.
11:28Get it?
11:30It's all my fault.
11:31I've been a bad husband.
11:34Huh?
11:36Strike.
11:37Yeah.
11:38Yeah, I get it.
11:40Wilma!
11:41Wilma!
11:43Don't tell me you found the ring.
11:45Yeah, Fred.
11:47And it's the sweetest thing you ever did.
11:50But, Wilma, you don't understand.
11:52Oh, yes, I do, Fred.
11:54No, but...
11:55I know how you must have scrimped and saved for ten years to get me this ring.
12:00But...
12:00And to think you love me that much just chokes me up.
12:05When Barney finds out, I'm the one that's going to get all choked up.
12:09Look, Fred.
12:11Isn't that lovely?
12:13Yeah.
12:14Wear it in good health.
12:22Hey, Barney!
12:23Is that you, Fred?
12:24Yeah.
12:25Come on up here.
12:26I got something to tell you.
12:28I'll be right with you, good old true blue Fred.
12:32What's on your mind, pal?
12:33Barney, would you do me a favor?
12:36You just name it, pal.
12:38Just name it.
12:40Well, uh...
12:42Will you forget about the ring for Betty?
12:44I, uh...
12:45Just gave it to Wilma.
12:49You're a card, Fred.
12:51Forget about the ring.
12:53I just gave it to Wilma.
12:56Hilarious.
12:58I'm not kidding, Barney.
13:00I mean it.
13:01And before you lose your temper, let me explain.
13:06And that's the whole story, Barney.
13:09I don't know what to do.
13:11Cheer up, Fred.
13:13The solution is very simple.
13:15We'll go to the Buddy Buddy Jewelers
13:17and buy another ring for Betty.
13:19Which you will pay for.
13:21Right, pal.
13:23And I'm only too glad to help you out.
13:27I'll be right with you, gentlemen.
13:29As soon as I finish with that customer over there.
13:32Sure, sure.
13:32Take your time.
13:33$5.98, $5.99, $600.
13:38Congratulations.
13:39With the $600 monthly payment, the pop-up toaster is yours.
13:44Uh, thanks.
13:45Uh, may I have my collateral back now?
13:49Certainly.
13:50Bring Mr. Slate's collateral.
13:52He just made his final payment.
13:54Hey, there you are, Mr. Slate.
13:57Hi, children.
13:59Who's that man, sis?
14:01I, I think it's Daddy.
14:03Let's go home, children.
14:06Mama will make some nice pop-up toast for you.
14:09Now, what can I do for you, gentlemen?
14:12We are interested in a diamond ring.
14:15Who is it?
14:16A diamond engagement ring.
14:19For your girl?
14:20No, for my wife.
14:22An engagement ring for your wife?
14:24Well, at least it's a step in the right direction.
14:27Next thing you know, you'll want a wedding ring.
14:30Now, you cut that out.
14:32Fred and Wilma have been married for years.
14:35And you keep out of this, shorty.
14:36You've got enough to worry about with your big, fat payment book.
14:40Now, were you going to pay cash or credit, hmm?
14:44Eh, credit.
14:45Okay, I'll have to check your credit rating.
14:48What's your name?
14:49Fred F. Flintstone.
14:52Yeah, I have a Fred Flintstone.
14:55He got anything on it?
14:57Oh, yeah.
15:01Hmm.
15:03You're no kidding.
15:04He tried what?
15:06No.
15:08Blackboard.
15:10Nothing over the price of a post he said.
15:12He got you.
15:13And thanks.
15:15Out, out, out!
15:17And don't come back unless you've got cash.
15:22What do we do, Fred?
15:24I don't know, Barney.
15:25But it all boils down to its simplest form.
15:29Yeah.
15:30Somehow we gotta get some cash.
15:33Barney, look at that sign.
15:35Five hundred bucks to anyone who stays three minutes with the champ.
15:40So what, Fred?
15:42Don't you get it?
15:43It's our big chance to make five hundred bucks.
15:45Fred, no matter how much we need the money, I refuse to let you fight the champ.
15:51Not me.
15:52You.
15:56I refuse to let me fight the champ.
16:00But, Barney, you don't have to fight him.
16:02It says stay with him.
16:03Speed will do it.
16:05And you're fast on your feet.
16:07Come on, Barney.
16:08Say you'll fight him.
16:08I promise you he won't lay a glove on you.
16:13Well, okay.
16:15Pick out a good ring, wise guy.
16:17I will be back with the cash after Barney fights the champ tonight.
16:22Oh, if I was as fast with my head as I am with my feet, I could think my way
16:29out of this.
16:32Well, hello, girls.
16:35Hello, Edna.
16:36How's the baby?
16:37Oh, he's fine, Betty.
16:39By the way, aren't you the lucky one?
16:43What do you mean?
16:44I mean the diamond ring Barney bought you.
16:48Oh, you must be mistaken, Edna.
16:51Fred bought a ring for Wilma.
16:53Oh, my dear, I'm not mistaken.
16:56I was in a store when Barney bought you a ring.
17:00You mean Fred bought me a ring.
17:03Oh, no, no.
17:04You girls seem to be a little confused.
17:07I suggest you check with the Buddy Buddy Credit Jewelers.
17:14Here's the place, Betty.
17:15We'll get to the bottom of this.
17:19All I know is these two gentlemen came in to buy a ring.
17:25They needed cash, so the little fellow is going to fight the champ tonight to pay for the ring.
17:30Did you ever hear of anything so dumb?
17:33Hmm?
17:35I think it's the nicest, sweetest thing I've ever heard.
17:39Me, too.
17:41You mean man, you.
17:45Oh, Wilma.
17:47The champ will kill my Barney.
17:50Maybe if I paid him not to hurt Barney.
17:53I have some money saved up.
17:54I have some, too, and you're welcome to it.
17:57I read somewhere that the champ is all heart.
18:01I'm sure he'll understand.
18:05Now, let me see if I got this straight.
18:08You dames want to give me 500 bucks to let this Barney guy stay three minutes with a champ, right?
18:15That's right.
18:17Then, I mean then, you pay Barney the $500.
18:21And you won't be out of cent because it's our money you'll be giving him.
18:26Well, this may sound crass, girls, but what's in it for me and the champ?
18:33Well, you'll be doing a good deed.
18:36Uh-huh.
18:37And you'll feel better for it.
18:40Okay, so I feel better.
18:41What are you dames doing it for?
18:44We dames are doing it for love.
18:46Oh, why didn't you say so?
18:49Give me the money.
18:50I'd do anything for love.
18:53Love of money, that is.
18:56Thank you very much, sir.
18:59You're a dear.
19:01Farewell, girls.
19:03Vivienne Lamour.
19:05Uh, that's French.
19:13Hey, champ.
19:14Yeah, boss?
19:16This Barney guy tonight.
19:18The first punch.
19:20Pow.
19:21Get it?
19:24Got you, boss.
19:28It's almost time for them to be leaving.
19:31Remember now, play it straight.
19:33Uh-huh.
19:34Uh, what excuse do you think they'll use to get out?
19:37Oh, Fred always uses the sick friend in the hospital routine.
19:42Wilma, I'll bet you, Nicola, used Barney's story about the brakes giving out on the car.
19:47Well, you're set, pal?
19:49Yeah.
19:50I guess we better get started.
19:51Boy, were you lucky, Barney.
19:54You could have got killed.
19:56Oh, you said it, Fred.
19:58I-I just gotta get those brakes fixed.
20:00Uh, will you come with me, Fred?
20:02Why, sure.
20:04And on the way back, we can stop off at the hospital and see how poor old Bill is coming
20:11along.
20:14Say, girls.
20:16Um, go ahead, Barney.
20:18Get those brakes fixed.
20:20And say hello to poor old Bill, Fred.
20:29It's a shame to fool the girls with that old line.
20:32Yeah, it beats me out.
20:34I always fall for it, though.
20:37How about that?
20:39They use both stories.
20:42They wanted to make sure they'd get out.
20:44Yeah, and we better get started, too.
20:46I want to see Barney win the $500.
20:50Oh, come on, Barney.
20:53You good guy.
20:55No, you said you'd do it.
20:57What?
20:58What's the matter, you tiny chicken?
21:00You're not kidding.
21:06And now, ladies and gents,
21:09The Special Attraction of the Evening.
21:14Introducing, at 265 pounds,
21:19and we're in love with trunks,
21:21The Chef.
21:25And in this corner,
21:28hey, where's the challenger?
21:31Ah, there he is.
21:33We're ready.
21:37Doesn't Barney look terrific, Wilma?
21:40He looks sort of green to me, Betty.
21:43Yeah, well, it must be the spotlight.
21:45Yeah, I guess so.
21:47Only they're white.
21:48How you doing, Barney?
21:50I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm worried.
21:53Well, there's nothing to worry about.
21:55I'm right behind you.
21:57Ah, that, that, that, that's my biggest worry.
21:59Oh, I dread this.
22:01If I didn't know the fight was fixed,
22:03so Barney'd win.
22:05There's the bell.
22:11That's the old footwork, Barney!
22:17Barney hasn't hit him yet.
22:19Barney couldn't hit the floor with his hat.
22:21How am I doing, pal?
22:23Great, pal!
22:25Just great!
22:26I'll give him the good old double knuckle punch!
22:36We've been double-crossed!
22:39Snap out of it, Barney.
22:41Come on, say something for me, pal.
22:44It's all right.
22:44It's all right.
22:46It's all right.
22:48Just a minute, you big bully.
22:50You and your manager stole our money.
22:53Uh-oh.
22:54It's the Churchill of Femme.
22:55I'll teach you to pick on defenseless women.
23:02Yikes!
23:03What a wallop!
23:07Just a minute, Buster!
23:11There's a little matter of my $500.
23:14Betty, look!
23:16I just won $500 for knocking out the champs.
23:20And I got my $500 from his manager.
23:23Gosh, Betty, we can't let the boys know about this.
23:26Oh, no.
23:27That'd spoil everything.
23:29I have an idea.
23:31If the manager will help us out...
23:34Sure, sure, lady.
23:35Anything you say.
23:37Anything.
23:39I'm-I'm sorry, Fred.
23:41I-I guess I let you down.
23:43No, you didn't, Barney.
23:45I'm proud of you.
23:46You did all right.
23:47Hey, uh, I've been looking for you guys.
23:49You won the $500.
23:51We won?
23:52Yeah.
23:53When we checked the time, we found out you stayed the full three minutes.
23:57So the money's yours.
23:59Barney boy, did you hear that?
24:01We won!
24:02Buddy, buddy, credit jewelers.
24:04Here we come.
24:09Here they are.
24:10Remember, act surprised.
24:13We better put our overshoes on.
24:15We're in for a big snow job.
24:18Girls, hail the conquering hero.
24:21Conquering hero?
24:23What happened?
24:25Betty, your husband just stayed three minutes with the champ and won $500.
24:34I was just lucky.
24:35My footwork must have dazzled him.
24:38Eh, lucky for Betty, you mean.
24:40Because Barney has just bought you a present.
24:44A present?
24:46For nil-o-me.
24:48Sure, sport.
24:50Sweetie, this is for you.
24:53Oh, a diamond engagement ring.
24:56Just like mine.
24:58Oh, Barney, what a wonderful surprise.
25:02Fred, you guys are pretty swell.
25:06Well, you girls deserve it.
25:10You know the old saying, Wilma.
25:13Yeah.
25:14A husband is a girl's best friend.
25:37Would you imagine?
25:37No, no, no.
25:44I'm not a woman.
25:44I'm not a little boy.
25:44No, no, no, no.
25:57I'm a man.
25:59I'm going to be right back.
26:00Well, no, no, I'm a saint.
26:01Wilma!
26:06Wilma!
26:08Come on, Wilma, open this door!
26:12Wilma!
