Description

Recently I ran across an episode of The Flintstones that had an interesting scene. The episode was "The Big Bank Robbery" (season 1, ep 17). In that episode, Fred and Barney come into possession of the loot from a bank robbery. While they dodge the cops, who think they committed the robbery, Wilma and Betty try to lure the real robbers to them in order to clear their spouses. Unfortunately they miscalculate and end up captives of the robbers, who are naturally seeking to recover their loot.

In recreating the climactic scene, I altered things a little. First I tightened the rigging and added gags, since I doubt Fingers and Benny wanted to hear Wilma browbeat them. And I eliminated Barney, who was also in the scene in the same predicament, because who wants to see that?

Fortunately for Wilma and Betty, Fred haphazardly drew the police to the house and the robbers were caught. Because, strangely enough, Dino was conspicuously absent from this episode and wasn't around to defend his turf.
