Synopsis

Fred comes up with Fred-O-Cal, an experimental reducing formula, and he promptly reduces himself to miniature size by accident. He and Barney exploit the situation by putting together a ventriloquist and dummy act for the Ed Sullystone Show.

Teaser Sequence: Wilma tucks Pebbles and a shrunken Fred both in cradles at night. They both say good night as Wilma comments she don't know how long she can be married to a pocket-size husband? The next morning, Fred showers in the sink. Wilma gives him a toothbrush as Fred goes over and squeezes the toothpaste from his feet and he starts brushing.
