Synopsis

Fred disapproves of Barney's lowbrow influence on Pebbles, so he moves the family to a snobbish high-society community.

Teaser Sequence: At their new house, Fred says "Wilma what is going on?" as she having a pool party with many people. She asks a man named Percy what he ordered. Percy said "Oh no, no, my dear I said turnip tuna with mayonnaise." Fred asks Wilma who are all the people outside. Wilma answers that they are their new neighbors. Fred says "All these people can't be our neighbors. They must have imported some from overseas." Wilma says "These are the people you wanted us to know." Fred says "I wanted to know them, not support them." A man calls Wilma. Wilma says "Coming." She tells Fred "Anyway, Pebbles is learning the right things from this crowd, Fred...how to freeload." A red-headed man with sunglasses suddenly grabs Fred and Fred asks him to put him down as the red-headed man says "Everybody into the pool" in a deep snooty voice. Fred is thrown in the pool drowning and saying "Hey! Get me out of here! Wilma", but Wilma runs past Fred still serving food saying "Sorry, you'll have to wait your turn."
