Synopsis

A trip to the World's Fair turns into a trip through time as the Flintstones and Rubbles visit future historical eras.

Teaser Sequence: In the real world, The Flintstones and The Rubbles are at a food stand where Fred orders 4 brontoburgers. The vendor says "Funny, Funny" and thinks they are actors at a exhibit and on their lunch break and are cold in their costumes? Fred says "What;s this guy talking about?" The vendor tells Fred the food will be 2 rocks (money). Fred says "Okay" as he gets out two actual rocks. The vendor says to Fred: "Come on Mac, a gag's a gag, but I'm awful busy. Put out two bucks or I'll call the cops?" Fred tells the gang to leave and that the vendor is off his rocker, but the vendor yells "Help, Police!" The Flintstones and the Rubbles run into a place that says: "Time Tunnel" for someplace to hide.
