00:08The End
00:58This is Bedrock.
01:00This is Bedrock, county seat of Cobblestone County, 200 feet below sea level, population 2,500. It's an average town
01:09with average people. We have our butcher, our baker, our pizza pie maker. We have our bank. And while some
01:21of us stay late to catch up on our work, the lucky ones who get home early catch up on
01:27their chores, like watering the lawn.
01:30And trimming the head. For most of us, the usual activities. Except for Fred Flintstone, who has had a most
01:42unusual day with the worst yet to come.
01:48Wilma! You're home! How come, sweetheart?
01:52You mean Battle Axe, don't you?
01:54Battle Axe? What are you talking about?
01:56Hello, Fred.
01:57Barney, my pal!
01:59Pal!
01:59Huh!
02:00What's the matter with you, Barney? Of course you're my pal. Put it there, chump.
02:04Sure, Fred.
02:07No!
02:10I've been waiting all day for that, pal.
02:12Where did you get all that money?
02:13How could you treat Wilma like that?
02:15Yeah, why did you body slam me on the street?
02:17I'm going home to Mother.
02:18Oh, you should be ashamed of yourself.
02:20Stand up and I'll let you have it again!
02:21Well, say something. Don't just lay there.
02:24Poor Fred.
02:26Well, it all started this morning, when Fred was about to leave for work and Wilma was going to visit
02:33her mother.
02:34It all seemed like an ordinary beginning to an ordinary day.
02:38Well, I gotta shovel up my work, Wilma. Have a good trip and say hello to your mother for me.
02:43I'm gonna miss you.
02:45I'll miss you too, Fred. But it'll only be for a couple of days. Mother's had these spells before.
02:50I still think I want to drive you to the airport.
02:53But, honey, you know how your boss grumbles if you're late for work? And the plane doesn't leave for a
02:58couple of hours yet.
03:00Besides, it's already settled. Barney has the day off and he and Betty will drive me down in plenty of
03:06time. Now, go to work, Fred.
03:08Okay. Goodbye, dear. Come home as soon as you can.
03:13I will, Fred. Goodbye.
03:18Good morning, Betty. Are you awake yet?
03:20Oh, yes, Wilma. We're just finishing breakfast.
03:23Is it still okay to drive me to the airport? I could take a taxi if it's gonna be a
03:28problem.
03:28Oh, no problem, Wilma. Barney and I would love to see you off. Did Fred leave for work yet?
03:35Uh-huh. The old darling. He hates the idea of my going.
03:39I bet he does. Well, we'll leave in about an hour, okay?
03:43Swell. And thanks, Betty.
03:47So, Fred went to his job at the gravel pits, playing to standing room only as usual.
03:52The audience watching and appreciating each skillful move.
04:00Okay, Fred, take her away!
04:20It is said that everyone in the world has a double, a look-a-like.
04:24And Fred Flintstone is no exception.
04:28Because nearby, in the J.L. Gotrocks building, is Fred Flintstone's double.
04:35None other than J.L. Gotrocks himself.
04:38Big business tycoon and head of the Gotrocks Industrial Empire.
04:43How's the rock market today? Up two points? Good.
04:46When I make a million, sell. I'm not money mad.
04:50Hello? Yes? Well, build another factory. Hello? Okay.
04:54Head by the steamship line. Hello? We'll need 200 more trucks. Hello?
04:59Well, merge with them and we'll get control.
05:02Hold on. I've got another call.
05:06Yes. Yes. I got it. No, I don't have to write it down.
05:10I can remember. You want me to bring home a pound of liver, a loaf of bread and a dozen
05:15hair curlers.
05:17Of course I won't forget. I've got nothing else on my mind.
05:21Battle axe. Hello? Yes, sell. Hello? No, buy. Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?
05:30Oh, decisions. Decisions. Decisions. That's all I do. Make decisions. Every day the same thing.
05:37I'm insulated from the world. I know nothing of the humanities. I don't know what's going on out there.
05:46I've got to get away. That's the answer. I've got to mingle with the real people, doing things I've heard
05:53about but never seen.
05:54Pinball machines, jukeboxes, pastrami on rye bread. I want to have some of the good things in life.
06:04They'll never find me. They'll search the Riviera. They'll scour the country clubs.
06:08But they'll never think of looking for me out there. It'll work.
06:13But before I disappear, I'll leave them a message.
06:16This is J.L. speaking. As of today, I am resigning. Do not bother to look for me.
06:22And tell my wife to buy her own liver and hair curlers. Goodbye.
06:28Now, out the back way and freedom. Yahoo!
06:35I'm telling you, G.W., he's not here. And I know he didn't come out.
06:39Well, maybe he left by the back door, FM.
06:41Oh, J.L. would never do that.
06:42Well, let's check the pterodactaphone. Maybe he left a message.
06:46That's an idea.
06:47Here. Here's a cracker.
06:51Are there any messages?
06:53This is J.L. speaking.
06:54As of today, I am resigning.
06:57Do not bother to look for me and tell my wife to buy her own liver and hair curlers.
07:04Bye.
07:05J.L. has flown the coop, G.W.
07:07Oh, no, FM.
07:08And without J.L. at the big meeting today, the whole Gut Rocks empire could crash.
07:12Even if word of this got out, it would be disaster.
07:16Big deal.
07:17Where can I get a cinchy job like this at my age?
07:20What'll we do, FM?
07:21Find him, that's what.
07:22He's out there somewhere.
07:24We'll check the Riviera.
07:25Search the country clubs.
07:27We'll call the yacht clubs.
07:28We'll...
07:30What is it, FM?
07:31Come here a minute, G.W.
07:33Take a look at that.
07:34You'll never believe it.
07:37Oh, what...
07:37What is it, FM?
07:38Well, that man in the gravel pit.
07:40That's J.L. Got Rocks.
07:42You're right.
07:43What do you suppose he's doing in a gravel pit?
07:45With his luck, he probably struck gold.
07:48Come on.
07:49Let's go down there and find out.
07:51Hey, Mr. Got Rocks.
07:53It's time for the big meeting.
07:57You guys talking to me?
08:00You got a good sense of humor, boss.
08:02You really had us worried until we spotted you on that overgrown rocking horse.
08:06Yeah, boss.
08:07What are you doing?
08:08Going in for dino polo?
08:11Let's go back to the office now.
08:13We all had a big laugh, Mr. Got Rocks.
08:15You guys got rocks in your head.
08:18I don't know nothing about a big meeting.
08:20And I'm not your boss.
08:21My name is Fred Flintstone and I work here at the gravel pit.
08:28Fred Flintstone?
08:29You mean you're not J.L. Got Rocks?
08:32J.L. Got Rocks?
08:33Are you kidding?
08:35But you look just like him.
08:37If I had J.L. Got Rocks dough, I wouldn't be scratching around a gravel pit for a living.
08:42Well, that makes sense.
08:43Amazing resemblance.
08:45He could pass for Got Rocks any time.
08:47Yeah, that's right.
08:49He could, couldn't he?
08:52Say, Flintstone.
08:54Yeah?
08:54How would you like to make some extra dough?
08:56Doing what?
08:57Well, we're in a jam.
08:59J.L. Got Rocks has disappeared.
09:00Vanished.
09:01And there's this big meeting today, see?
09:03Now, if J.L. doesn't show up, the company will go bankrupt.
09:06Hundreds of people will be out of work.
09:08Widows and babies will lose their life savings.
09:10The whole country could go broke.
09:12And besides, we'd lose our cinchy jobs.
09:14Well, if that's the case, there's only one thing to do.
09:16Yes, yes.
09:17You guys better find that guy Got Rocks.
09:19No, no.
09:20We want you to take Got Rocks' place till we find him.
09:24Who, me?
09:24Ha, ha.
09:25Ha, ha, ha.
09:26Go on.
09:27I couldn't do that.
09:28But you've got to.
09:30Think of those people out of work.
09:33Think of those widows and babies.
09:35Think of our cinchy jobs.
09:36You'll be doing a great thing for humanity and our country.
09:40Well, okay, if it's a national emergency.
09:44But I can only do it for a couple of days while my wife is out of town.
09:48That's perfect.
09:49You may not get home for a couple of nights.
09:51You check out with your boss, then come up to the office.
09:54All right, all right.
09:55I'll ask him.
09:57Um, I'd like to have a couple of days' leave of absence, boss.
10:02Well, you know, we don't like to have the dinosaur idle.
10:05Is it important?
10:07Oh, oh, yeah.
10:08Yeah, it is.
10:09I, uh, I can't tell you the reason.
10:11It's, uh, sorta hush-hush.
10:13I'll even be away from home for a few days.
10:16Well, if it's some kind of emergency, uh, go ahead, Flintstone.
10:20Ah, thank you, boss.
10:22Ha, ha, that Mr. Boulder.
10:24What a real swell guy.
10:28You better tell Wilma to hurry up or we'll miss that plane.
10:31Barney, shh.
10:32She just got a long-distance call.
10:35Oh, that's wonderful, Mother.
10:37Oh, I'm so glad you're feeling better.
10:39You'll come here and rest instead of me going there?
10:42Fine.
10:43I'll see you next week.
10:45Bye, Mums.
10:46She's feeling better, huh, Wilma?
10:47Yes, isn't that wonderful?
10:49I won't have to make the trip after all.
10:51I'll call Fred right away and tell him the good news.
10:54Oh, poor dear.
10:56Looks so sad this morning.
10:58You think he'll cheer up when he finds out his mother-in-law is coming here instead?
11:02Quiet, Barney.
11:03That's not funny.
11:06Mr. Boulder?
11:07This is Wilma Flintstone.
11:09Will you tell Fred I won't be going to visit my mother?
11:14Why not?
11:15Well, uh, he's away on a leave of absence.
11:19No, ma'am.
11:20He wouldn't tell me.
11:21All he said was that he'd be away from home for a few days.
11:26Yeah.
11:27Okay.
11:28Bye.
11:31That's Fred.
11:32What's the matter, Wilma?
11:33The minute my back is turned, he's got something cooking.
11:36Doing who knows what.
11:38Oh, Wilma, Fred isn't the type of guy who do who knows what.
11:42Oh, no?
11:43Well, Fred just took a leave of absence from his job.
11:47He wouldn't tell his boss anything about it except that he won't be living at home for a few days.
11:53Ooh.
11:54Men.
11:55So I'm a man.
11:56What can I do about it, resign?
11:59I'm going to search this town and find that, Fred.
12:02And when I do, I'm going to teach him he can't get away with it.
12:05I'll go with you, Wilma.
12:07Hey, I better go, too, and find out what this is all about.
12:12Oh, boy.
12:13Fred Flintstone, the big business typhoon.
12:17Wilma can only see me now.
12:20I still can't believe anybody take me for the great J.L. Gotrocks.
12:26Good morning, Mr. Gotrocks.
12:28Um, good morning.
12:30He did it.
12:31The great Mr. Gotrocks said good morning to me.
12:33I knew it would happen one day.
12:36Oh, I gotta call Mabel and tell her.
12:40Well, here's the big test.
12:42If the people in the office think I'm Gotrocks, I'm in.
12:45Good morning, Mr. Gotrocks.
12:47Good morning, Mr. Gotrocks.
12:49Good morning, Mr. Gotrocks.
12:50Good morning, Mr. Gotrocks.
12:51Good morning, Mr. Gotrocks.
12:52Good morning, Mr. Gotrocks.
12:53Well, what do you know?
12:55They all think I'm J.L. Gotrocks.
12:58Of course, Flintstone.
13:00You look just like him.
13:01Now, let's get on with the big meeting.
13:02Wait a minute.
13:03I don't know anything about conducting a business meeting.
13:06You don't have to know anything.
13:08All you gotta say is, whose baby is that?
13:10What's your angle?
13:11And I'll buy that.
13:13Uh, whose baby is that?
13:16What's your angle?
13:17I'll buy that.
13:18That's it. Great.
13:19Old J.L. couldn't do better himself.
13:21Let's go.
13:23Gentlemen, the meeting will now come to order.
13:26Let's hear from Mr. Stonehead first.
13:28Well, I'd like to open the discussion on the subject of the railway bonds in question.
13:34Uh, whose baby is that?
13:36Uh, mine, sir.
13:37What's your angle?
13:38Uh, I've completed some research and found that debentures are nil and the percentage yield is adequate.
13:44I would advise pro-rated distribution.
13:47Uh, I'll buy that.
13:50Uh, uh, thank you, sir.
13:51What an executive Gottrox is.
13:53Knows what it's all about.
13:55No one like him.
13:56You're doing great, Flintstone.
13:58Keep it up.
13:59Uh, whose baby is that?
14:00What's your angle?
14:02I'll buy that.
14:04Whose baby is that?
14:05What's your angle?
14:14Oh, boy, this is living.
14:17Nobody knows where I am.
14:19No decisions to make.
14:22Grab this machine.
14:24Come on.
14:24Get in there.
14:25Get in there.
14:26Hey, Flintstone, you know better than to tilt the machine.
14:30How much does the machine cost?
14:32Two hundred.
14:33Here.
14:35Two hundred.
14:36I'm used to having my own way.
14:38Two hundred?
14:40From Fred Flintstone?
14:42And my name's not Fred Flintstone.
14:47Well, anyway, a couple of people have seen Fred around.
14:51Yes, but they said he passed right by without saying hello.
14:54That doesn't sound like Fred.
14:56He would never pass anyone without saying hello.
14:59Fred!
15:01How do you like that?
15:03He tried to bluff his way right past us.
15:06Yeah, as if he didn't see us.
15:08Hey, hey, Fred.
15:09Hey, wait a minute.
15:10It's me, Bonnie.
15:11Hold it, Fred.
15:13He disappeared.
15:16There's only one thing to do.
15:18Since we know he's around here someplace, let's separate and look for him.
15:22Good idea, Wilma.
15:23And whoever finds him will call the others.
15:25If I find him, you can call an ambulance.
15:28Let's go.
15:31Yeah, Mrs. Flintstone.
15:32Fred was in here earlier.
15:34He bowled a few games and flashed a roll of big bills.
15:37And wanted to tip everybody in the place.
15:40I tried to get him to go home, but he said he'd never go home to that, uh...
15:44Beggin' your pardon, ma'am.
15:46Battle axe is what he said.
15:48Battle axe, eh?
15:51Wait till I get my hands on him.
15:53One more thing.
15:54He also mentioned liver and hair curling.
15:57Well, I have a few things to mention to him, too.
16:02Oh, mister.
16:03Can I speak to you a minute, please?
16:05Make it snappy, lady.
16:07I'm in the middle of a run.
16:08Have you seen Fred Flintstone around here?
16:11Flintstone?
16:13You betcha, lady.
16:14Old Fred gave me a good payday today.
16:17He usually shoots a sharp game of pool.
16:19But today, nothin'.
16:22He'll never miss it, though.
16:24He had a roll of bills that would choke a dinosaur.
16:27A roll of bills that would choke a dinosaur?
16:30Now, where would Fred get that kind of money?
16:34Any luck, Betty?
16:35No.
16:36I haven't seen him, but he's been around.
16:38He's been flashing a big roll of bills and acting like a big shot.
16:42I get the same story.
16:44But I can't figure out where he got the money.
16:46He couldn't save that much out of his lunch allowance.
16:49There's something fishy going on.
16:52Let's find Barney.
16:53Maybe he's seen Fred someplace.
16:55I've looked in all the usual places Fred hangs out, but no luck.
16:59Now I'll start looking in the unusual places.
17:11Fred!
17:14Boy, do I dig this way out music.
17:17Let's see.
17:18I'll try number 14 this time.
17:25Shh.
17:27Shh.
17:28Shh.
17:28You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
17:30Who, me?
17:31Yeah, you.
17:33Worrying your poor wife like that, shame on you.
17:36Ha!
17:36That battle axe wouldn't worry about anything.
17:39Battle axe?
17:40Yes, and for the first time in my life I'm enjoying myself.
17:44No nagging, no phone calls, no decisions to make.
17:47I am never going back.
17:49But how about Wilma?
17:50Who's Wilma?
17:52And for that matter, who are you?
17:54Who am I?
17:55Why, I'm your best friend Barney Rubble.
17:57Never heard of you.
17:58Oh, you're kidding, Fred.
18:00The name's not Fred.
18:01Now, why don't you just run along like a good guy?
18:04Nothing doing, Fred.
18:05You're coming home with me.
18:06Hey, let go of my arm.
18:08Ow!
18:08Ow!
18:09Ow!
18:09Hey!
18:10Don't fight it, Fred.
18:12It'll be tough on your arm.
18:13This is an old commando hold.
18:17Hey, Wilma!
18:18Look who I found!
18:19He's got Fred with him.
18:21Oh, battle axe, huh?
18:22I'll show him.
18:24Fred Flintstone, what have you been up to?
18:27The minute you think I'm out of sight, you start playing around.
18:31I'm not going to make a scene here on the street, but wait till I get you home.
18:35You'll explain everything, including all that money you've been flashing around.
18:39Now, march.
18:40Madam, you are completely off your rocker, and I am getting out of here.
18:46Well, I'm all the nerve.
18:48After him, Barney.
18:49Don't let him get away.
18:50Hold it, Fred.
18:51Now, let's talk this over a minute.
18:52Come on, be sensible.
18:55Let's shake hands and stop this nonsense.
18:58Okay.
19:03Just an old commando hold, Fred.
19:10We saw that, Barney.
19:12Are you all right, honey?
19:13Of course.
19:15How could getting slammed on the ground hurt anyone?
19:17That's about as mean a trick as anyone can play.
19:21What's got into Fred?
19:24Whose baby is that?
19:26What's your angle?
19:27I'll buy that.
19:29Whose baby is that?
19:31What's your angle?
19:32I'll buy that.
19:34Flintstone is doing a great job, eh, G.W.?
19:37Lucky we found him or we'd be ruined.
19:40Hey, I can't take much more of this.
19:42Did you find Got Rocks yet?
19:44Not yet.
19:45But we'll have him back soon.
19:47Keep going, Flintstone.
19:49Okay.
19:49But you better find him soon.
19:52What's your buy?
19:53Whose angle is that?
19:55I'll buy that baby.
19:57Who's your baby?
19:58Who's your baby?
19:59I mean...
20:00I'll angle that by...
20:02By...
20:03By...
20:03No.
20:04I'll...
20:05I'll...
20:06I'm through.
20:08I'm going back to the peace and quiet of the gravel pits.
20:11Oh, no, Flintstone.
20:12You can't let us down.
20:13Look.
20:14I went to that meeting to save widows and orphans, but I'm not making a career of this.
20:18I'm through, I tell you.
20:19Oh, my gosh.
20:20There goes my cinchy job.
20:22What do we do, F.M.?
20:23We gotta keep him here, that's what.
20:25Just a minute, Flintstone.
20:26You can't do this to us.
20:28Who says?
20:29I do.
20:30Grab him, G.W.
20:30I resign and that's final.
20:33Don't let him get away.
20:35Ask around.
20:38Good day, Mr. God Rocks.
20:41Eh.
20:42All these big shots are the same.
20:44They never take time to stop and chat with a help.
20:50Everything is rush, rush, rush.
20:54Wait a minute, Fred.
20:55You can't run away like this.
20:57Wilma wants to know about that big roll of bills.
21:00Oh.
21:01Oh, why did I ever leave the office?
21:04I thought it would be different from the outside.
21:08Maybe I can shake him by hiding under this bridge.
21:12Give up, Flintstone.
21:13You're coming back to the office, even if we have to drive you back.
21:18Oh, boy.
21:19I should never have left the gravel pit.
21:25No sign of them.
21:26Looks like I lost them, all right.
21:29He jumped under the bridge.
21:30Get him.
21:33Well, looks like he got away again.
21:36Hold it, Flintstone.
21:38You can't get away with it.
21:40You're only making it tough on yourself.
21:43Now, who are those two?
21:45I don't know, but it could be Fred's been giving body slams to a lot of people today.
21:51Well, I have had it.
21:53Me too.
21:55He'll have to come home sometime.
21:56I'll wait for him at the house.
21:58I'll wait with you, Wilma.
22:00I want to shake hands with my pal again.
22:07Oh, boy.
22:09I'm getting poofed.
22:10I gotta hide somewhere.
22:13The ash can.
22:14That's it.
22:16Get away from here.
22:17Go find your own ash can.
22:19I think he went around this corner.
22:22Pardon me.
22:25You idiot.
22:27Gotcha, Flintstone.
22:28Come on, GW.
22:29Give me a hand with this can.
22:32Let me out of here.
22:33Let me out.
22:34I demand it.
22:35Sure, Flintstone.
22:36Sure.
22:38As soon as we get you back to the office.
22:42And now, back to work.
22:45Hey, Flintstone.
22:52It's J.L.
22:56He's trying to say something.
22:59What are you trying to say to us, your loyal employees, Mr. Godrod?
23:04What?
23:07You're fired!
23:08F-R-I-D, fired!
23:11Out, out, out!
23:15Well, I finally got rid of those two guys.
23:19I'll go home and call Wilma and her mother's.
23:21Boy, what a story I got to tell her.
23:27Wilma, you're home!
23:29How come, sweetheart?
23:31You mean Battle Axe, don't you?
23:33Battle Axe?
23:34What are you talking about?
23:36Hello, Fred?
23:37Barney, my pal.
23:39Pal.
23:40Huh.
23:40What's the matter with you, Barney?
23:42Of course you're my pal.
23:43Put it there, chump.
23:45Sure, Fred.
23:50I've been waiting all day for that, pal.
23:53Where did you get all that money?
23:54How could you treat Wilma like that?
23:55Why did you body slam me in the street?
23:58Why did you want a few days off?
23:59Poor Wilma's all broken up.
24:01Why did you buy a pinball machine?
24:02I'm going home to mother.
24:04Get yourself another bullies, buddy.
24:06And so ends a typical mixed-up day
24:08in the mixed-up life of poor mixed-up Fred Flintstone.
24:33Or, Derring, or a dog?
24:33I'm going to make a package with your dad
24:33What a dog.
24:33And he's a great boy.
24:37What a dog!
24:38Oh.
24:40And...
24:58Come on, Wilma, open this door.
25:00Come on, Wilma, open this door!
25:05Wilma!
25:07Come on, Wilma, open this door!
25:10Come on, Wilma, open this door.
