However, Fred's real problems begin when Wilma and Betty audition for roles in the film and end up going crazy upon meeting movie stars Rock Pile and Wednesday Tuesday.

Fred and Barney reluctantly agree to babysit Edna Boulder's son, Egbert, which makes them miss a chance to go and see a wrestling match. A blackout of the event in their area prompts them to bring Egbert with them to their friend Joe Rockhead's house so they can watch the fight. When Fred and Barney mistakenly believe that Egbert has run away, this leads to a huge misunderstanding that results in them, as well as Joe Rockhead, getting arrested.

To finance their dream of opening a pool hall, Fred and Barney visit the dinosaur racetrack where Fred bets his entire paycheck on a long shot. To cover for gambling, Fred pretends to have been beaten by a robber and tells Wilma that he has lost his check. When the longshot pays off, Fred and Barney are initially elated but quickly realize their problems are only beginning.

Barney decides to surprise Betty with a belated engagement ring, which he gives to Fred for safekeeping, but Wilma discovers the ring and assumes it is a gift for her. Not wanting to shatter her dream, Fred decides to buy a second ring but doesn't have the cash, so he talks Barney into competing with a boxing champ in order to win a $500 prize. Wilma and Betty soon discover the plot and persuade the champion to let Barney win, not wanting any harm to come to the latter. Despite this, the champion still beats Barney, knocking him unconscious. Furious, Wilma and Betty assault the champion for double-crossing them and force the champion's manager to give the $500 prize to Barney. Afterwards, Barney manages to buy a new ring for Betty.

Wilma and Betty win a trip to Hollyrock from a television contest. Finding themselves lonely and bored, Fred and Barney take vacations from work and follow them out. When Wilma is "discovered", Fred muscles his own way into the world of television to bring her back.

When Barney becomes president of the lodge, he stops Fred from taking home his Lodge Golf championship trophy because the bylaws state that club dues have to be paid up. This sets off a major feud between Fred and Barney.

Fred blunders by allowing Barney to hide their sweepstakes ticket in the lining of an old coat which Betty has given to a passing tramp. 

Fed up with their jobs, Fred and Barney secretly plan to buy a drive-in restaurant with two girls applying as bellhops. After getting calls from the girls, Wilma and Betty mistakenly believe that Fred and Barney are cheating on them, which the two quickly cover up. When Wilma and Betty find out that their husbands have quit their jobs, they begin to search for them and eventually find them working at the restaurant. After Fred and Barney quit their jobs at the restaurant and get their old jobs back, Wilma and Betty humiliate them when they go out to dinner.

With a prowler on the loose in Bedrock, Betty decides to take judo lessons to protect herself. When Wilma wants to take lessons also, Fred ridicules the idea, arguing that one glimpse of a prowler would send her running in fear. To prove his point, Fred poses as the prowler and sneaks into the Rubble household, on the same night the real prowler shows up.

Following an argument with their wives over never going out, Fred and Barney decide to take them to an amusement park, which doesn't go over well. As they leave, Fred leaves behind a record that he recorded, which is discovered by a group of teenagers, who fall in love with Fred's singing voice. This leads to Fred becoming a famous singer nicknamed "Hi-Fye" and traveling on a world tour. Fred becomes conceited with the attention while Wilma and Betty get homesick, so they spread an ugly false rumor about "Hi-Fye" that ruins his reputation and ends his career, turning things back to normal.

Fred and Barney sign up for dance lessons at Arthur Quarry's so that they do not humiliate themselves at the charity ball. Their excuse that they have joined the volunteer fire department falls apart when Betty and Wilma realize that the all-stone town of Bedrock is fireproof (as well the alarm sounding at 7:30 every night). The wives then suspect that their husbands are slipping out to meet other women but are glad when they see they have been learning how to dance for them.

When Fred and Barney accidentally come into possession of $86,000 from a bank robbery, they are pursued by both the crooks who stole the money and the Bedrock police.

Fred convinces Wilma and the Rubbles to go on a camping trip. During this, Fred and Barney hunt for a dinosaur called the "Snorkasaurus" and encounter one named "Dino". However, they are forced to let the dinosaur go when the girls befriend him and decide to take him home as a pet.

To commemorate his 10th wedding anniversary (which he only remembers because it falls on "Trash Day"), Fred wants to buy Wilma a Stoneway piano, but after unsuccessfully dealing with snooty clerk Frank Nelson in a high-end music store, he finds a great deal from a shady, cash-only businessman named "88 Fingers Louie." Fred later realizes that it's more than he bargained for. This episode includes the catchy "Happy Anniversary" tune, sung by a quintet of four police officers and Barney, who is also playing the piano.

While attempting to demonstrate his skill as a hypnotist to his wife and the Rubbles, Fred manages to hypnotize Barney into thinking that he is a frisky puppy but is unable to reverse the trick.
