The first Flintstones episode written by the prolific Tony Benedict reaches way back to the glory days of the two-reel comedies for its story material. In order to attend a Bedrock Boulders baseball game, both Fred and Barney call their respective bosses to say they're too sick to come to work. Unfortunately, Barney's boss demands that he take a medical exam--and before the plot plays itself out, poor Barney is headed for the hospital, slated for an operation he neither needs nor desires!
