Synopsis

Fred and Barney's private eye business backfires when they become stooges of Boss Rockhead. Thinking that they're doing undercover work, the clueless Fred and Barney end up helping bank robbers.

Teaser Sequence: Fred is reading a newspaper headline: "Flintstone and Rubble Capture Bank Robbers." He laughs saying how about that and that the publicity is worth millions and their detective agency will be swamped with business and that people will be standing in line outside his door. Wilma and Betty put on detective hats with Wilma saying:"You mean my door, Fred." Fred says "Huh?" Wilma then says: "The door leading to the Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble Detective Agency."
