The Flintstones (1960–1966): Season 5, Episode 24 - Superstone - full transcript
Barney and the children are fans of Superstone, a super-hero show on TV. Fred does not believe in this stuff, and he's even reluctant to bring Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm see the hero in person at a local theater. However, he resigns to bring everyone. But on the day of the show, the star resigns and the producers are desperate for a replacement. Fred comes to complaint about this, but he is asked to play Superstone on stage. As he accepts, he saves the day for the fans, however the next day, a duo of crooks take advantage of the success and takes Fred's place as Superstone while robbing the box office. Now, it's up to Fred to clear his name out and as well bring back confidence to Superstone's fans !
Gee, I wonder why Fred is
taking so long.

[Hop hop hop hop]
Oh, boy!
Such baloney!
Hey, Fred, watch him
clean house now.
Oh, brother! What corn!
Oh, Superstone,
you've done it again!
Yes. Wherever there is
evil and lawlessness,
Superstone will
always be on hand
To see that fair play,
honesty, and justice triumph.
Farewell, Superstone!
Bee hee hee ha ha!
Bee hee hee ha ha!
Ohh, Rubble,
how you can watch that junk
is beyond me.
Imagine a grown man
flying around and going,
"Bee hee hee ha ha!"
Superstone!
Superstone!
Bamm! Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Hey, you give that Superstone
yell pretty good.
The kids love it.
Go on, do it again.
Aw, baloney!
Fred, Pebbles,
dinner's ready.
And we've got to
go home, Barney.
Just a second, Betty.
I want to hear Superstone's
final message.
Every friday, he gives
a message for the week.
Message-- Yuck!
Quiet, Fred.
Superstone is going to speak.
Hi there, kids,
And you grownups
who are young in heart.
My message today is this--
Tomorrow and sunday,
I will be appearing in person
At the Bedrock theatre.
Admission will be $1.
So tell your parents
you want to see Superstone!
Until then,
bee hee hee ha ha!
Boy! A chance to see
Superstone in person!
Ah! Superstone!
Superstone!
Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Okay, now you've got the message.
Let's go, Barney.
Barney: One second,
Betty.
What do you say,
Fred?
Are we gonna take the kids
to the show tomorrow?
Are you kidding?
For $1 apiece?
I wouldn't pay 2 cents
to see that character.
You take bamm-Bamm
if you want.
Pebbles and me
are gonna stay home.
[Crying]
Oh, Fred, how could you?
Now you've made her cry!
Listen, I refuse to pay
$2 of my hard-Earned money
To see that loudmouth
yelling,
"Bah ha hee ha ha!"
[Sobbing]
You won't catch me down there
in a million years.
[Pebbles sobbing]
Oh...
oh, alright, pebbles.
Stop crying.
I'll take you.
Whee! Superstone!
Superstone!
Atta boy, Fred.
I knew you'd do it.
- Ha ha ha ha!
- Ohh...
"Superstone here today."
Hey, how about that, Fred?
Isn't it exciting?
Yeah. I can
hardly stand it.
Come on, let's buy the tickets
and get it over with.
Come on, George.
Put the suit on
and get out there.
Please.
They're all waiting.
I'm sorry, boys,
But I'm through with
that Superstone bit.
This telegram will
explain everything. Listen.
"Want you in Hollyrock
immediately,
for lead
in my new picture."
Signed,
"Otto Pebblejar."
See? They want me. Me!
Not Superstone,
but me, the real me.
But you can't walk out
on 2,000 kids.
They'll tear
the house down.
Even worse, they'll
want their money back.
Have a heart, George.
Think of those kiddies
out there.
Are you kidding?
Bee hee hee ha ha!
See you in
the movies, boys.
What will we do now?
I don't know, Sam.
I don't know.
Well, where is
that guy?
We've been waiting
for 20 minutes already.
Gee, I don't know.
Maybe the weather was bad,
and they grounded him.
Grounded him? He doesn't
really fly, Barney.
He's an ordinary guy,
like you and me.
Well, uh, maybe he had to
bust up a gang of crooks.
Oh, boy.
Barney, you amaze me.
Don't you know
this is all an act?
I'm going backstage,
see what's holding them up.
If he's stallin' around,
I'll pull him out by his ear.
Oh, don't touch him,
Fred.
Your hand will burn
to a crisp.
Oh, fiddlesticks!
You wait here with the kids.
I'll be right back.
We got try to find
somebody to take his place,
just for
a couple of days.
Yeah, but who
could we get?
Well, I'm too fat.
Well, I'm too skinny.
We need a guy somewhere
near George's build,
With long arms...
and not too bright...
with a big
loud mouth.
Fred: Alright!
What's going on here?
What's the holdup?
Where's Superstone?
Who are you?
I'm Fred Flintstone, and I just
paid 2 bucks for me and my kid
To see Superstone.
Now, where is he?
We want Superstone!
Gee, pal,
you've got a big mouth.
And not too bright.
I got an idea.
[Whispering]
Are you kidding?
Look at that face
and those flabby muscles.
The mask
will hide the face,
And the suit's got
the muscles built in.
I'm telling you,
he's our man.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Let me handle this.
Gee, Mr. Flintstone,
you've got a great build.
You know that? Boy,
look at those arms.
Huh? What are you
talking about?
I mean you've got a great
physique, Mr. Flintstone.
Hasn't he, Sam?
Yeah. Look at those
muscles on his head.
Well, I try
to take care of myself.
I'm on the bowling team,
you know.
Oh, I can see that.
And you've got
a big mouth--
I mean,
a good voice, too.
Say, do you know
the superstone yell?
The superstone yell?
Yeah. But why?
Could we
hear it once?
Well, I feel
pretty silly about it,
But what the heck?
Beh heh hee hee ho!
Sam, did you
hear that?
Yeah. Yeah,
I heard it!
Sam, we're saved.
He's our man.
What's going on?
And where's superstone?
My little girl is out there
waiting to see him.
Now, just
take it easy, Fred.
Your little girl
will see him in a minute.
Let me level with you,
Mr. Flintstone.
Superstone
just got a message
That his grandmother
is very sick,
And he had to rush
to her side.
You see the spot
we're in, don't you?
Yeah, I see that.
We got to find someone
to replace him.
Understand?
Yeah, yeah,
I see that, too.
Uh, would you be interested
in the job, Mr. Flintstone?
Who, me? Ha ha!
Are you kidding?
You got
the build for it.
And the looks
for it.
And the brains
for it.
But I wouldn't wear
this suit for anything.
We'll pay you $20 a day,
Mr. Flintstone.
$20 a day
for wearing this suit?
Right.
For 2 days.
That's $40.
$40?
Bah ha ha hee ho!
Mister, you've got
yourself a deal.
Tell them to get
the wires ready.
Superstone is going
to fly again!
Gee, I wonder why
Fred is taking so long.
Hello, boys and girls.
Sorry for the delay.
But here's what you've
been waiting for--
The champion of fair play,
honor, and justice--
The one and only
Superstone!
Bah ha hee ha ha!
[Applause and cheering]
Bamm! Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Whee! Superstone!
Superstone!
Oh, boy. Poor Fred.
He doesn't know
what he's missing.
And now, to demonstrate
his amazing strength,
Superstone will lift
20,000 pounds
With one hand.
Show them,
Superstone.
[Cheering]
Wowee! 20,000 pounds!
And now Superstone
will demonstrate
The way he deals with
the forces of evil.
Here. Hold this.
Okay, you bad guys,
come on.
[Cheering]
That-A boy, Superstone!
Oh, you're the greatest!
And now, boys and girls,
for the next hour,
Superstone will
give out autographs.
Hooray!
Easy, kids, easy.
Don't crowd the biceps.
Plenty of autographs
for everybody.
Oh, boy,
he's great.
What a ham!
Gee, thanks,
mr. Superstone.
You're my hero.
Anytime, kid, anytime.
Oh, yoo-Hoo!
Oh, Superstone!
Uh-Oh. Here comes Barney.
Watch me have some fun.
I wonder if we could have
4 of your autographs, please.
4? But there's
only 3 of you.
Well, one is for
my friend Flintstone.
He's not here
right now.
Fred flintstone? You mean that big,
good-Looking guy?
Intelligent, courageous,
heart of gold?
I know him well.
Gee, I don't think we're talking
about the same Flintstone.
Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Oh, this is my boy.
I think he wants to shake
hands with you, Superstone.
Why, sure.
Be my guest, son.
Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Ow!
Gee, I'm sorry, Superstone.
My bamm-Bamm doesn't know
his strength.
Oh, that's okay.
I didn't feel a thing.
Da-Da. Da-Da.
Ha ha ha ha!
Little Pebbles here,
she thinks you're her daddy.
Well,
why shouldn't she?
After all, I am.
Fred! Hey!
You're Superstone.
Ha ha ha!
That's right, Barney.
Simple Fred Flintstone
by day,
Champion of fair play,
honor, and justice by night.
Gosh, I never guessed.
Well, you know now.
But listen, Barney,
Not a word to anyone.
This is our secret.
Yours and mine.
Oh, sure, sure.
I won't tell a soul.
Gee, just think--
I live next door to Superstone.
Oh, gee. Oh, wow!
Wowee! Ooh!
Heavens to betsy!
Gosh.
Come on, Barney.
Let's go home,
And I'll tell you
all about it.
So, when I went
backstage to complain
And they took one look
this gorgeous kisser of mine,
They figured I was the perfect
replacement for Superstone.
That's some story,
Fred.
Imagine paying you
$20 a day.
Gee, for a while there, I thought
you were the real Superstone.
Say, Superstone,
can you get this top
Off this
bottle of ketchup?
It's stuck.
Are you kidding?
Hand it over.
Unh! Hey, this is
really on tight.
Bamm! Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Hey, Fred, bamm-Bamm
wants to try it.
Now, don't be silly.
If I can't do it,
he can't.
Aw, let him try it
anyway, Fred.
Oh, alright.
Here you are,
bamm-Bamm.
Bamm! Bamm!
Ha ha ha! How do you
like that?
Bamm-Bamm is stronger
than Superstone.
Well, at least there's
one thing he can't do.
What's that, Fred?
Let him try this.
Bah hee hee ha ha!
Bamm! Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
You see?
I got one thing he ain't got--
A big mouth.
[All laugh]
Bah hee hee ho ho!
Bah hee hee hee ho!
Bah hee hee ho ho!
Bah hee hee ho ho!
Fred, what in the world
are you doing?
I'm practicing
to be Superstone.
You'll be practicing with a
broken leg if you're not careful.
I'll be leaving now,
honey.
It's almost time
for the show.
Oh, Fred. You're not
gonna wear that costume
on the street, are you?
Well, why not?
After all, I'm Superstone.
Fred, I'm beginning
to worry about you.
I think you're getting
carried away by that costume.
Aw, ha ha. Don't be silly.
I'm just having fun.
To me, it's just a job.
Well, just
remember that.
So long, honey.
I'll see you later.
You know, Wilma,
when Superstone leaves a place,
He never goes
through a door.
What does he do?
I'll show you.
Bah hee hee ho ho!
Fred! What happened?
I guess
I need more practice.
Man: alright,
alright.
Keep moving.
Keep the line moving.
Gee, you'd think
being Superstone's pal,
He'd give me
a free ticket.
Oh, but what the heck?
I wouldn't miss
seeing Fred again
Even if it cost me
another buck. Ha ha ha!
Looks like this guy
Superstone
is doing a big business.
There ought to be a big wad
of dough in that till.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
You took the words
right out of my mouth.
Now turn around
and park the car.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
There. That gets rid
of the shiny schnozzola.
Boy, what a ham.
[Knock knock]
The door's open.
Come on in.
Pardon the intrusion,
But we got some flowers
for you, Mr. Superstone.
Give them to him, bugsy.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Flowers? For me?
Isn't that nice?
Yeah. And as long as
we're here,
We thought maybe you'd
give us your autograph.
My autograph. Sure.
But I didn't know
fellows your age
were superstone fans.
Are you kiddin'?
You are the hero for all ages.
Heh heh heh.
If you keep on like that,
You're going to give me
a swelled head.
That's exactly what
we had in mind.
Give it to him,
Bugsy.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Bah hee hee ha ha...
Okay, Bugsy, get that costume
off him and go to work.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Boy, I can hardly wait
to see what Fred does today.
He ought to be even better
than he was yesterday.
Oh, hi, Superstone.
Gee, you really packed
the house today.
The cashbox is just
cram-Jammed with money.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Could I see the dough?
Oh, sure. Take a look.
Thanks, girlie.
Hey, what are you doing?
Come back with that money!
Help, police!
I've been robbed
by Superstone!
And now, boys and girls,
presenting the champion
Of fair play, honor,
and justice--
Superstone.
Scoobidy bee bop!
I'm hip, I'm hip!
This is a new entrance.
I wonder what Fred's up to.
And here he is--
Scoobidy
bah boop.
And there he goes...
with the cashbox!
Girl: stop, thief! Stop!
He's stolen all our money!
Hey, what's
going on here?
Girl: Superstone just robbed
the ticket office.
Robbed the ticket office?
Oh, I can't believe it.
Fred wouldn't do
a thing like that.
He went that way.
Thanks!
Hurry up, Bugsy.
Get the costume back on him
and let's scram.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Ohh...
what happened?
Hey, Fred.
Tell me you didn't do it.
You didn't,
did you, Fred?
- Do what?
- Rob the theatre.
What about
all those kids, Fred?
You're their hero.
You can't do a thing like that.
Where's the money?
I'll help you put it back.
Will you make sense?
What money?
The money you took
from the box office.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
All I know is 2 guys
brought me flowers,
And I got bopped
on the head.
2 guys? And you were
knocked out?
Uh-Oh. I get the picture.
Fred, you've been framed.
Framed?
Sure. I saw it
on a television show.
Some innocent guy
takes the rap
while the crooks
get away with the loot.
No kidding.
Hey, I just remembered
something else.
One of the guy
always says,
"Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip."
Well, that's a good clue.
Come on. Let's get
out of here fast.
Hey, Barney,
where are we going?
We're gonna hide out, Fred,
Until we clear
Superstone's name...
and, uh, and yours.
Gosh, Barney,
you're a real pal.
Yeah. Keep your
head down, Fred,
- Before a policeman spots you.
- right, pal.
The hero of millions
of children--Superstone--
Carried out a daring
daylight robbery today.
Police have started
an all-out search
And hope to have him
in custody shortly.
[Sobbing] ohh!
Oh, how could Fred
do such a thing, Betty?
He's always been
so honest.
[Sobbing]
Barney didn't
come home, either,
So I'm sure he was
mixed up in it, too.
We're nothing but a couple of
gun molls, Betty.
[Both sobbing]
Psst! Psst!
Hey, Wilma, it's me.
And me, too.
- Fred!
- Barney!
[Both sobbing]
Quiet down, girls!
The neighborhood is
crawling with cops.
And that's
what happened, Wilma.
I was framed.
And I'm gonna
unframe him.
Oh, I'm so relieved,
Fred, dear.
But what are you
gonna do now?
First, I'm gonna
get out of this suit
and put on
my regular clothes.
And then we're gonna look for
the guys who framed Fred...
so I can prove
my innocence.
Oh, Fred,
do be careful.
You, too, Barney.
You might get hurt.
The only one
who's gonna get hurt
are those 2 guys
when I catch 'em.
Cop, knocking: open up in
the name of the law!
It's the police!
Tell them
I went to China.
Yeah. So long, girls!
Are you sure those crooks are down
here at the waterfront, Barney?
Oh, sure. This is where
they always hang out.
I seen it on TV.
Well, okay. Let's start
looking for 'em.
The golden pterodactyl.
Should we start here,
Barney?
Yeah. Looks like a good place.
Let's go in.
Boy, what tough-Looking
customers.
What will it be,
you guys?
Uh, um...
[in deep voice]
Cactus juice on the rocks.
2 straws.
So long, Bugsy.
Nice talkin' to you.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Huh?
Who said that?
Barney, it's him!
That's the guy who hit me.
We gotta
follow him, Fred.
He'll lead us right to the
other guy and the dough.
Come on, after him.
Boy, this is just the way it happens
in them mystery shows.
He went in
that building, Fred.
That lighted room on the top floor
must be their hangout.
Okay, from here on,
now I take over.
You go
back to the car
and get a rope
and my costume.
This is a job
for Superstone!
Honest, Fred, I think
we ought to call the cops.
Nothing doing.
I'm gonna swing right
through that window
and capture them
by myself.
Gee, Fred. I don't know.
Why don't we just walk in
and say, "stick 'em up"?
Too easy.
We're gonna do it
the Superstone way.
Bah hee hee ho ho!
1,720...
1,721...
1,722...
[splash]
What was that?
Beats me. I think
it was a big bird.
1,722...
1,723...
Hey, you know,
I just had an idea, Fred.
Why don't we try going
through the door?
Yeah.
It might be easier
than going through
the window at that.
Now, this is the way
we'll do it.
I'll smash the door in
with my shoulder,
And you come right in behind me.
How's that sound?
Well, uh,
why don't we just knock,
And then, when they open the door,
we'll say, "stick 'em up"?
Barney,
don't be ridiculous.
Superstone would
never do it that way.
I got to take them
by surprise.
Otherwise, we lose
the whole effect.
Well, okay, Fred.
Whatever you say.
Here goes, Barney.
1, 2...
kind of stuffy
in here, boss.
I'll open the door.
We'll get a little draft.
Bah ha hee hee ho!
[Splash]
You better close
the door, Bugsy.
That's too much draft.
Look at them, Barney,
counting the stolen money.
Honest, Fred. It'd be better
if you just walk in
and say, "stick 'em up",
than jump through the skylight.
Will you stop
with that stuff?
Those guys
framed Superstone,
And we're gonna get our revenge
the Superstone way.
Pretty smart,
huh, Bugsy?
This trap door
leads to a boat
That's waiting
at the bottom.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Bah ha hee hee ho! Aah!
[Splash]
What was that?
I think the sky
is falling.
Okay, stick 'em up.
Don't make a move.
The place is surrounded.
Oh, don't shoot.
Don't shoot. I give up.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Oh. You got them,
huh, Barney?
Good work.
It's Superstone.
Yeah, yeah.
Superstone.
That's right.
It's Superstone.
And let this be
a lesson to you guys.
Wherever there is evil
and lawlessness,
Superstone will always
be on hand
to see that fair play
and justice triumph.
I believe.
I believe.
Yay, Superstone!
Ha ha ha ha!
Well, let's
turn them over
To the police,
huh, Barney?
Bah ha ha hee ho!
Yeow!
[Splash]
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
Superstone catches criminals
and clears his name!
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
Well, Flintstone,
You made Superstone
a hero again
And restored
the faith of kids
all over
the country.
There's a bunch of them
waiting outside now
to congratulate you.
Aw, gee,
isn't that nice?
Oh, Fred,
I'm so proud of you!
Superstone!
Superstone! Yay!
Ha ha ha!
And I'm proud
of you, too, Barney.
Oh, gee,
Betty, thanks.
Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm! Bamm!
And thank you, too,
bamm-Bamm.
Say, Flintstone,
why don't you go out
and say a word
to those kids?
I'll be glad to,
And I'll go out
the real Superstone way.
Watch this, gang.

you've done it again!
Yes. Wherever there is
evil and lawlessness,
Superstone will
always be on hand
To see that fair play,
honesty, and justice triumph.
Farewell, Superstone!
Bee hee hee ha ha!
Bee hee hee ha ha!
Ohh, Rubble,
how you can watch that junk
is beyond me.
Imagine a grown man
flying around and going,
"Bee hee hee ha ha!"
Superstone!
Superstone!
Bamm! Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Hey, you give that Superstone
yell pretty good.
The kids love it.
Go on, do it again.
Aw, baloney!
Fred, Pebbles,
dinner's ready.
And we've got to
go home, Barney.
Just a second, Betty.
I want to hear Superstone's
final message.
Every friday, he gives
a message for the week.
Message-- Yuck!
Quiet, Fred.
Superstone is going to speak.
Hi there, kids,
And you grownups
who are young in heart.
My message today is this--
Tomorrow and sunday,
I will be appearing in person
At the Bedrock theatre.
Admission will be $1.
So tell your parents
you want to see Superstone!
Until then,
bee hee hee ha ha!
Boy! A chance to see
Superstone in person!
Ah! Superstone!
Superstone!
Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Okay, now you've got the message.
Let's go, Barney.
Barney: One second,
Betty.
What do you say,
Fred?
Are we gonna take the kids
to the show tomorrow?
Are you kidding?
For $1 apiece?
I wouldn't pay 2 cents
to see that character.
You take bamm-Bamm
if you want.
Pebbles and me
are gonna stay home.
[Crying]
Oh, Fred, how could you?
Now you've made her cry!
Listen, I refuse to pay
$2 of my hard-Earned money
To see that loudmouth
yelling,
"Bah ha hee ha ha!"
[Sobbing]
You won't catch me down there
in a million years.
[Pebbles sobbing]
Oh...
oh, alright, pebbles.
Stop crying.
I'll take you.
Whee! Superstone!
Superstone!
Atta boy, Fred.
I knew you'd do it.
- Ha ha ha ha!
- Ohh...
"Superstone here today."
Hey, how about that, Fred?
Isn't it exciting?
Yeah. I can
hardly stand it.
Come on, let's buy the tickets
and get it over with.
Come on, George.
Put the suit on
and get out there.
Please.
They're all waiting.
I'm sorry, boys,
But I'm through with
that Superstone bit.
This telegram will
explain everything. Listen.
"Want you in Hollyrock
immediately,
for lead
in my new picture."
Signed,
"Otto Pebblejar."
See? They want me. Me!
Not Superstone,
but me, the real me.
But you can't walk out
on 2,000 kids.
They'll tear
the house down.
Even worse, they'll
want their money back.
Have a heart, George.
Think of those kiddies
out there.
Are you kidding?
Bee hee hee ha ha!
See you in
the movies, boys.
What will we do now?
I don't know, Sam.
I don't know.
Well, where is
that guy?
We've been waiting
for 20 minutes already.
Gee, I don't know.
Maybe the weather was bad,
and they grounded him.
Grounded him? He doesn't
really fly, Barney.
He's an ordinary guy,
like you and me.
Well, uh, maybe he had to
bust up a gang of crooks.
Oh, boy.
Barney, you amaze me.
Don't you know
this is all an act?
I'm going backstage,
see what's holding them up.
If he's stallin' around,
I'll pull him out by his ear.
Oh, don't touch him,
Fred.
Your hand will burn
to a crisp.
Oh, fiddlesticks!
You wait here with the kids.
I'll be right back.
We got try to find
somebody to take his place,
just for
a couple of days.
Yeah, but who
could we get?
Well, I'm too fat.
Well, I'm too skinny.
We need a guy somewhere
near George's build,
With long arms...
and not too bright...
with a big
loud mouth.
Fred: Alright!
What's going on here?
What's the holdup?
Where's Superstone?
Who are you?
I'm Fred Flintstone, and I just
paid 2 bucks for me and my kid
To see Superstone.
Now, where is he?
We want Superstone!
Gee, pal,
you've got a big mouth.
And not too bright.
I got an idea.
[Whispering]
Are you kidding?
Look at that face
and those flabby muscles.
The mask
will hide the face,
And the suit's got
the muscles built in.
I'm telling you,
he's our man.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Let me handle this.
Gee, Mr. Flintstone,
you've got a great build.
You know that? Boy,
look at those arms.
Huh? What are you
talking about?
I mean you've got a great
physique, Mr. Flintstone.
Hasn't he, Sam?
Yeah. Look at those
muscles on his head.
Well, I try
to take care of myself.
I'm on the bowling team,
you know.
Oh, I can see that.
And you've got
a big mouth--
I mean,
a good voice, too.
Say, do you know
the superstone yell?
The superstone yell?
Yeah. But why?
Could we
hear it once?
Well, I feel
pretty silly about it,
But what the heck?
Beh heh hee hee ho!
Sam, did you
hear that?
Yeah. Yeah,
I heard it!
Sam, we're saved.
He's our man.
What's going on?
And where's superstone?
My little girl is out there
waiting to see him.
Now, just
take it easy, Fred.
Your little girl
will see him in a minute.
Let me level with you,
Mr. Flintstone.
Superstone
just got a message
That his grandmother
is very sick,
And he had to rush
to her side.
You see the spot
we're in, don't you?
Yeah, I see that.
We got to find someone
to replace him.
Understand?
Yeah, yeah,
I see that, too.
Uh, would you be interested
in the job, Mr. Flintstone?
Who, me? Ha ha!
Are you kidding?
You got
the build for it.
And the looks
for it.
And the brains
for it.
But I wouldn't wear
this suit for anything.
We'll pay you $20 a day,
Mr. Flintstone.
$20 a day
for wearing this suit?
Right.
For 2 days.
That's $40.
$40?
Bah ha ha hee ho!
Mister, you've got
yourself a deal.
Tell them to get
the wires ready.
Superstone is going
to fly again!
Gee, I wonder why
Fred is taking so long.
Hello, boys and girls.
Sorry for the delay.
But here's what you've
been waiting for--
The champion of fair play,
honor, and justice--
The one and only
Superstone!
Bah ha hee ha ha!
[Applause and cheering]
Bamm! Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Whee! Superstone!
Superstone!
Oh, boy. Poor Fred.
He doesn't know
what he's missing.
And now, to demonstrate
his amazing strength,
Superstone will lift
20,000 pounds
With one hand.
Show them,
Superstone.
[Cheering]
Wowee! 20,000 pounds!
And now Superstone
will demonstrate
The way he deals with
the forces of evil.
Here. Hold this.
Okay, you bad guys,
come on.
[Cheering]
That-A boy, Superstone!
Oh, you're the greatest!
And now, boys and girls,
for the next hour,
Superstone will
give out autographs.
Hooray!
Easy, kids, easy.
Don't crowd the biceps.
Plenty of autographs
for everybody.
Oh, boy,
he's great.
What a ham!
Gee, thanks,
mr. Superstone.
You're my hero.
Anytime, kid, anytime.
Oh, yoo-Hoo!
Oh, Superstone!
Uh-Oh. Here comes Barney.
Watch me have some fun.
I wonder if we could have
4 of your autographs, please.
4? But there's
only 3 of you.
Well, one is for
my friend Flintstone.
He's not here
right now.
Fred flintstone? You mean that big,
good-Looking guy?
Intelligent, courageous,
heart of gold?
I know him well.
Gee, I don't think we're talking
about the same Flintstone.
Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Oh, this is my boy.
I think he wants to shake
hands with you, Superstone.
Why, sure.
Be my guest, son.
Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Ow!
Gee, I'm sorry, Superstone.
My bamm-Bamm doesn't know
his strength.
Oh, that's okay.
I didn't feel a thing.
Da-Da. Da-Da.
Ha ha ha ha!
Little Pebbles here,
she thinks you're her daddy.
Well,
why shouldn't she?
After all, I am.
Fred! Hey!
You're Superstone.
Ha ha ha!
That's right, Barney.
Simple Fred Flintstone
by day,
Champion of fair play,
honor, and justice by night.
Gosh, I never guessed.
Well, you know now.
But listen, Barney,
Not a word to anyone.
This is our secret.
Yours and mine.
Oh, sure, sure.
I won't tell a soul.
Gee, just think--
I live next door to Superstone.
Oh, gee. Oh, wow!
Wowee! Ooh!
Heavens to betsy!
Gosh.
Come on, Barney.
Let's go home,
And I'll tell you
all about it.
So, when I went
backstage to complain
And they took one look
this gorgeous kisser of mine,
They figured I was the perfect
replacement for Superstone.
That's some story,
Fred.
Imagine paying you
$20 a day.
Gee, for a while there, I thought
you were the real Superstone.
Say, Superstone,
can you get this top
Off this
bottle of ketchup?
It's stuck.
Are you kidding?
Hand it over.
Unh! Hey, this is
really on tight.
Bamm! Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
Hey, Fred, bamm-Bamm
wants to try it.
Now, don't be silly.
If I can't do it,
he can't.
Aw, let him try it
anyway, Fred.
Oh, alright.
Here you are,
bamm-Bamm.
Bamm! Bamm!
Ha ha ha! How do you
like that?
Bamm-Bamm is stronger
than Superstone.
Well, at least there's
one thing he can't do.
What's that, Fred?
Let him try this.
Bah hee hee ha ha!
Bamm! Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm!
You see?
I got one thing he ain't got--
A big mouth.
[All laugh]
Bah hee hee ho ho!
Bah hee hee hee ho!
Bah hee hee ho ho!
Bah hee hee ho ho!
Fred, what in the world
are you doing?
I'm practicing
to be Superstone.
You'll be practicing with a
broken leg if you're not careful.
I'll be leaving now,
honey.
It's almost time
for the show.
Oh, Fred. You're not
gonna wear that costume
on the street, are you?
Well, why not?
After all, I'm Superstone.
Fred, I'm beginning
to worry about you.
I think you're getting
carried away by that costume.
Aw, ha ha. Don't be silly.
I'm just having fun.
To me, it's just a job.
Well, just
remember that.
So long, honey.
I'll see you later.
You know, Wilma,
when Superstone leaves a place,
He never goes
through a door.
What does he do?
I'll show you.
Bah hee hee ho ho!
Fred! What happened?
I guess
I need more practice.
Man: alright,
alright.
Keep moving.
Keep the line moving.
Gee, you'd think
being Superstone's pal,
He'd give me
a free ticket.
Oh, but what the heck?
I wouldn't miss
seeing Fred again
Even if it cost me
another buck. Ha ha ha!
Looks like this guy
Superstone
is doing a big business.
There ought to be a big wad
of dough in that till.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
You took the words
right out of my mouth.
Now turn around
and park the car.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
There. That gets rid
of the shiny schnozzola.
Boy, what a ham.
[Knock knock]
The door's open.
Come on in.
Pardon the intrusion,
But we got some flowers
for you, Mr. Superstone.
Give them to him, bugsy.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Flowers? For me?
Isn't that nice?
Yeah. And as long as
we're here,
We thought maybe you'd
give us your autograph.
My autograph. Sure.
But I didn't know
fellows your age
were superstone fans.
Are you kiddin'?
You are the hero for all ages.
Heh heh heh.
If you keep on like that,
You're going to give me
a swelled head.
That's exactly what
we had in mind.
Give it to him,
Bugsy.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Bah hee hee ha ha...
Okay, Bugsy, get that costume
off him and go to work.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Boy, I can hardly wait
to see what Fred does today.
He ought to be even better
than he was yesterday.
Oh, hi, Superstone.
Gee, you really packed
the house today.
The cashbox is just
cram-Jammed with money.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Could I see the dough?
Oh, sure. Take a look.
Thanks, girlie.
Hey, what are you doing?
Come back with that money!
Help, police!
I've been robbed
by Superstone!
And now, boys and girls,
presenting the champion
Of fair play, honor,
and justice--
Superstone.
Scoobidy bee bop!
I'm hip, I'm hip!
This is a new entrance.
I wonder what Fred's up to.
And here he is--
Scoobidy
bah boop.
And there he goes...
with the cashbox!
Girl: stop, thief! Stop!
He's stolen all our money!
Hey, what's
going on here?
Girl: Superstone just robbed
the ticket office.
Robbed the ticket office?
Oh, I can't believe it.
Fred wouldn't do
a thing like that.
He went that way.
Thanks!
Hurry up, Bugsy.
Get the costume back on him
and let's scram.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Ohh...
what happened?
Hey, Fred.
Tell me you didn't do it.
You didn't,
did you, Fred?
- Do what?
- Rob the theatre.
What about
all those kids, Fred?
You're their hero.
You can't do a thing like that.
Where's the money?
I'll help you put it back.
Will you make sense?
What money?
The money you took
from the box office.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
All I know is 2 guys
brought me flowers,
And I got bopped
on the head.
2 guys? And you were
knocked out?
Uh-Oh. I get the picture.
Fred, you've been framed.
Framed?
Sure. I saw it
on a television show.
Some innocent guy
takes the rap
while the crooks
get away with the loot.
No kidding.
Hey, I just remembered
something else.
One of the guy
always says,
"Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip."
Well, that's a good clue.
Come on. Let's get
out of here fast.
Hey, Barney,
where are we going?
We're gonna hide out, Fred,
Until we clear
Superstone's name...
and, uh, and yours.
Gosh, Barney,
you're a real pal.
Yeah. Keep your
head down, Fred,
- Before a policeman spots you.
- right, pal.
The hero of millions
of children--Superstone--
Carried out a daring
daylight robbery today.
Police have started
an all-out search
And hope to have him
in custody shortly.
[Sobbing] ohh!
Oh, how could Fred
do such a thing, Betty?
He's always been
so honest.
[Sobbing]
Barney didn't
come home, either,
So I'm sure he was
mixed up in it, too.
We're nothing but a couple of
gun molls, Betty.
[Both sobbing]
Psst! Psst!
Hey, Wilma, it's me.
And me, too.
- Fred!
- Barney!
[Both sobbing]
Quiet down, girls!
The neighborhood is
crawling with cops.
And that's
what happened, Wilma.
I was framed.
And I'm gonna
unframe him.
Oh, I'm so relieved,
Fred, dear.
But what are you
gonna do now?
First, I'm gonna
get out of this suit
and put on
my regular clothes.
And then we're gonna look for
the guys who framed Fred...
so I can prove
my innocence.
Oh, Fred,
do be careful.
You, too, Barney.
You might get hurt.
The only one
who's gonna get hurt
are those 2 guys
when I catch 'em.
Cop, knocking: open up in
the name of the law!
It's the police!
Tell them
I went to China.
Yeah. So long, girls!
Are you sure those crooks are down
here at the waterfront, Barney?
Oh, sure. This is where
they always hang out.
I seen it on TV.
Well, okay. Let's start
looking for 'em.
The golden pterodactyl.
Should we start here,
Barney?
Yeah. Looks like a good place.
Let's go in.
Boy, what tough-Looking
customers.
What will it be,
you guys?
Uh, um...
[in deep voice]
Cactus juice on the rocks.
2 straws.
So long, Bugsy.
Nice talkin' to you.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Huh?
Who said that?
Barney, it's him!
That's the guy who hit me.
We gotta
follow him, Fred.
He'll lead us right to the
other guy and the dough.
Come on, after him.
Boy, this is just the way it happens
in them mystery shows.
He went in
that building, Fred.
That lighted room on the top floor
must be their hangout.
Okay, from here on,
now I take over.
You go
back to the car
and get a rope
and my costume.
This is a job
for Superstone!
Honest, Fred, I think
we ought to call the cops.
Nothing doing.
I'm gonna swing right
through that window
and capture them
by myself.
Gee, Fred. I don't know.
Why don't we just walk in
and say, "stick 'em up"?
Too easy.
We're gonna do it
the Superstone way.
Bah hee hee ho ho!
1,720...
1,721...
1,722...
[splash]
What was that?
Beats me. I think
it was a big bird.
1,722...
1,723...
Hey, you know,
I just had an idea, Fred.
Why don't we try going
through the door?
Yeah.
It might be easier
than going through
the window at that.
Now, this is the way
we'll do it.
I'll smash the door in
with my shoulder,
And you come right in behind me.
How's that sound?
Well, uh,
why don't we just knock,
And then, when they open the door,
we'll say, "stick 'em up"?
Barney,
don't be ridiculous.
Superstone would
never do it that way.
I got to take them
by surprise.
Otherwise, we lose
the whole effect.
Well, okay, Fred.
Whatever you say.
Here goes, Barney.
1, 2...
kind of stuffy
in here, boss.
I'll open the door.
We'll get a little draft.
Bah ha hee hee ho!
[Splash]
You better close
the door, Bugsy.
That's too much draft.
Look at them, Barney,
counting the stolen money.
Honest, Fred. It'd be better
if you just walk in
and say, "stick 'em up",
than jump through the skylight.
Will you stop
with that stuff?
Those guys
framed Superstone,
And we're gonna get our revenge
the Superstone way.
Pretty smart,
huh, Bugsy?
This trap door
leads to a boat
That's waiting
at the bottom.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Bah ha hee hee ho! Aah!
[Splash]
What was that?
I think the sky
is falling.
Okay, stick 'em up.
Don't make a move.
The place is surrounded.
Oh, don't shoot.
Don't shoot. I give up.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm hip, I'm hip.
Oh. You got them,
huh, Barney?
Good work.
It's Superstone.
Yeah, yeah.
Superstone.
That's right.
It's Superstone.
And let this be
a lesson to you guys.
Wherever there is evil
and lawlessness,
Superstone will always
be on hand
to see that fair play
and justice triumph.
I believe.
I believe.
Yay, Superstone!
Ha ha ha ha!
Well, let's
turn them over
To the police,
huh, Barney?
Bah ha ha hee ho!
Yeow!
[Splash]
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
Superstone catches criminals
and clears his name!
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
Well, Flintstone,
You made Superstone
a hero again
And restored
the faith of kids
all over
the country.
There's a bunch of them
waiting outside now
to congratulate you.
Aw, gee,
isn't that nice?
Oh, Fred,
I'm so proud of you!
Superstone!
Superstone! Yay!
Ha ha ha!
And I'm proud
of you, too, Barney.
Oh, gee,
Betty, thanks.
Bamm! Bamm!
Bamm! Bamm! Bamm!
And thank you, too,
bamm-Bamm.
Say, Flintstone,
why don't you go out
and say a word
to those kids?
I'll be glad to,
And I'll go out
the real Superstone way.
Watch this, gang.
Bah ha hee hee ho!
[Thud]
Oops! Sorry, fellas.
Bah hee hee ho ho!
Kids:
Bah hee hee ho ho!
Ha ha ha ha!
Flintstones,
meet the Flintstones
They're the modern
stone age family
From the town of Bedrock
They're a page
right out of history
Someday, maybe Fred
will win the fight
Then that cat will
stay out for the night
When you're
with the Flintstones
Have a yabba-Dabba-Doo time
A dabba-Doo time
We'll have a gay old time
We'll have a gay old time
Wilma!
