Synopsis

Barney buys a ring for Betty, Fred hides it, and Wilma finds it- and she thinks that Fred meant it for her. Now Barney has to spend three minutes in the ring with the champ to raise $500 to pay for it all.

Teaser Sequence: Wilma and Betty watches Barney in the boxing ring hopping up and down to see if he will hit The Champ. Fred says "That's the old footwork, Barney." Barney continues to hop around with The Champ watching him. Wilma comments "Barney hasn't hit him yet" and Betty says "Barney couldn't hit the floor with his hat." Barney tells Fred "How am I doing pal" and Fred says "Great, Pal, just great."
