Synopsis

Barney tricks Fred into thinking that Pebbles can talk. His voice-throwing trick adds to the general mayhem when he and Fred take Pebbles to a wrestling match.

Teaser Sequence: Betty watches a wrestling match on TV with a announcer saying "There's a baby in the ring." Betty says "A baby!" The announcer says "Yes, and somebody better get her out of there before she gets hurt." The baby is crawling in the ring. Betty says "Girls, there's a baby at the wrestling match." Wilma goes over to Betty saying "A baby. At a wrestling match. The poor kid must have some parents. Say, she's cute. She looks like Pebbles." The baby says "Da-Da, Goo-Goo." Wilma gasps and says "It is Pebbles!"
