"The Return of Stony Curtis" is the third episode of the sixth season and the one hundred and forty-third overall episode of the original series, The Flintstones. It aired on October 1, 1965.
Synopsis[]
Wilma enters a competition and wins movie star Stony Curtis for a day. However, Fred feels jealous, until Stoney offers him a role in his next film.
Plot[]
Hollyrock actor Stony Curtis is the star of a production of Slave Boy, to be filmed in Bedrock, and Wilma is the lucky winner of a contest in which Curtis is to be slave for a day to the person selected. Fred is contacted by the movie studio involved with the contest and informed of Wilma's good fortune.
Bringing Curtis home to meet Wilma, Fred is annoyed at Wilma's pretensions at being wealthy, with Betty acting as a maid. Unimpressed by the "Hollyrock phony", Fred orders Curtis as slave to move heavy boulders in the Flintstone yard, and Curtis patronizes Fred with compliments that Fred could be a movie actor, with the expectation that Fred would find such employment to be anything but lax. He then invites Fred to double for him in the Slave Boy film, and Fred obliges, learning yet again that performing in film is not his forte.
Although Fred has learned his lesson, he confesses to Wilma that he counted his chickens before they hatched. Anticipating a new job, he put the Flintstone residence on the market and now a couple is considering buying it. Stony offers to assist the Flintstones, by posing as an attractive neighbor of theirs who is taken with the wife. The enraged husband tells Fred he can forget about selling the house to him, and the Flintstones are happy to keep their home.
