Synopsis
When Barney saves a baby in a runaway carriage, Fred receives the credit for it and becomes Bedrock's hero, but he has to deal with his conscience who keeps pestering him to tell everyone the truth about what really happened.
Teaser Sequence: Fred and Barney are chasing a baby in a runaway carriage and Barney says they gotta catch it. The baby is cheerfully playing with a yo-yo. Barney says he's heading for an amusement park. Fred says to Barney how he knew the baby was a he? Barney says "Girls don't play with yo-yos." The baby goes up on a roller coaster at a amusement park and Barney says to Fred the baby's heading for the top. Barney gets an idea by grabbing a batch of balloons, floating up in the air and grabs the baby from the carriage and floats on back down from the sky.
