"Baby Barney" is the ninth episode of the third season and the sixty-ninth overall episode of the original series, The Flintstones. It aired on November 9, 1962.

Synopsis

Fred's rich Uncle Tex is coming for a visit, and to stay on Tex's short list of inheriting his uncle's money, Fred had told Tex that Wilma had a baby boy and named him after his uncle.

Plot

Fred's wealthy Texan uncle, Uncle Tex wants to have a nephew and pledges an inheritance to Fred's family if Fred has an heir. So, Fred tells Tex that he and Wilma have a son, named Little Tex, to ingratiate Fred with "Big Tex" and assure the Bedrock Flintstones a favorable bequest in Tex's will. A telegram sent by Uncle Tex that he will come to Bedrock to visit Fred, Wilma and Little Tex complicates Fred's scheme, as Fred must find a baby to be Little Tex.

Unable to adopt an infant for the time period of Uncle Tex's stay, Fred seizes upon the ridiculous idea of dressing Barney in a baby bonnet and diapers so that Barney is a somehow passable Little Tex. Betty and Wilma urge Barney to cooperate and be Little Tex but when Uncle Tex arrives at the Flintstone home and plays rough with his baby-babbling namesake, Barney's tolerance of the Texan's affection is short-lived and he scrambles- still in his baby clothes- to his car to flee from Tex, who drives his elongated limousine in pursuit of the prodigious "infant" and Fred, Wilma and Betty, in Fred's car, chase Tex.

All are arrested by police for driving too fast and at a police station, Fred is forced to confess his deception to Tex, who is surprisingly understanding of Fred's motives and forgives Fred. After Uncle Tex leaves the Flintstones for his return to Texarock, Fred finds some baby booties partly knitted by Wilma for Betty's sister's baby, assumes that Wilma is expecting a child and scurries onto Tex's trail to tell Tex the good news.
