Synopsis

In a spirit of competition rather than loyalty, Fred dumps Barney as Lodge field day partner in favor of trophy-rich Joe Rockhead.

Teaser Sequence: Fred and Joe Rockhead are both in a foot race. Wilma cries out "Look out for the water, Fred." Fred and Joe go in the water. Fred comes up out of the water with a sea monster instead of Joe. Fred asks "Are you still with me, champ?" The sea monster growls as Fred says "You're not, are you?"
