Synopsis
Lured by Madame Yes, Fred and Barney must escape from Dr. Sinister's island fortress.
Teaser Sequence: As Wilma questions it's getting dark out and that Fred and Barney have been gone for almost half an hour, Betty answers they're probably at the bowling alley. They're not? The duo are up in a airplane tied up to passenger seats with two thugs controlling the plane. Barney jokingly tells Fred he's disappointed that the plane doesn't serve champagne? Fred asks Barney how can he joke at a time like this and that they've been dive-bombed, beaten up, kidnapped and over some ocean and may never see their loved ones again. Barney tells Fred he always look at the dark side of things. Fred calls Barney a numbskull. As the plane comes in for a landing, Fred and Barney discover they're going to land in a smoldering volcano with Barney saying "Hey, look at that Fred, the volcano is flipping its lid."

Reviews
who is madame yes?
In the Dr. Sinister episode, Madame Yes is voiced by Jean Vander Pyl, also the
voice of Wilma. As Madame Yes, Vander Pyl seems to be trying to emulate
(or rip off) June Foray's "Natasha Fatale" character from Rocky and Bullwinkle
(such as in saying, "You stupid good-lookings" instead of "Boris, dollink").
Madame Yes even looks like Natasha; maybe she is also from Pottsylvania?
In any case, it could be that with Madame Yes, Hanna and Barbera were trying
to take a swipe at Jay Ward, who made no secret of his distaste for them.
(In a "Fractured Fairy Tale" episode, a character says, "What are you, a spy
from Hanna-Barbera?")
