Synopsis
Fred is stung by the slight of being the only employee not invited to Mr. Slate's party. But it seems he may get a chance to attend after all, in the guise of a mysterious, suave, exotic stranger.
Plot
A dejected and outraged Fred retires early to bed on the evening of the Slate Company ball, for which every employee received an invitation except Fred. Fred's fairy godmother grants to him a night at the ball as a debonair guest, with a luxurious car transformed from a pumpkin and chauffeured by Barney. At the ball, Fred introduces himself as a wealthy and influential investment broker, a Mr. Blu-ba-bla-bla, impresses everyone present, and suggests to Slate that Fred Flintstone be promoted.
With the last chime of midnight, Fred's night of glory fizzles, and he finds himself back in his bedroom. He presumes that his experience at the ball was only a dream, until the next morning when Slate invites him into Slate's office, tells him about Mr. Blu-ba-bla-bla, and bestows to him a promotion to rock quarry foreman!
