"The Bedrock Hillbillies" is the eighteenth episode of the fourth season and the one hundred and sixth overall episode of The Flintstones. It aired on January 16, 1964.

Synopsis

Fred inherits an estate, when he goes to claim it reignites a long time feud with a hillbilly family.

Plot

Zeke, the last of the Arkanstone Flintstones, dies, leaving the same state's Hatrock clan, which has been feuding joyously for generations with Zeke's family, desperate for more Flintstones to shoot at with their stone-firing rifles. Zeke's only known surviving relations are the Flintstones of Bedrock, and Fred is contacted by an Arkanstone lawyer and informed that he has inherited Zeke's "estate", San Cemente (known as Sandstone Cemente), which Fred believes to be the lavish bequest of wealthy kin.

The Flintstones and the Rubbles go to Arkanstone to view Zeke's legacy and are staggered to discover that San Cemente is a one-room, dilapidated house adorned only with a picture of the late Zeke. The Hatrocks commence rifle fire upon the confused Flintstones and Rubbles, and Fred and Barney are forced to defend their loved ones by combating the Hatrocks (with the stone-firing rifles that they have brought with them for hunting purposes), and the Hatrock-Flintstone feud continues, until Pebbles and Slab, the Hatrock baby, wander away from their respective folk and Fred risks his life to prevent the two toddlers from plummeting on a log down a waterfall, by dangling by his legs upside down from a branch directly above the top of the waterfall and grabbing the babies from the log.

A resultant truce between the Hatrocks and Flintstones is short-lived. Fred repeats the faux-pas of Rory Flintstone that first started the feud, by commenting that the artist of a portrait of Mona, the Hatrock matriarch, "...should have got life," in prison that is, for the unsightly painting. Hatrocks re-declare hostilities upon Flintstones, who scramble with the Rubbles to board their car and flee Arkanstone.

  • The Hatrocks are Mona; her granddaughter Granny; Clem/Pa (Jethro); Clem's wife Gravella (Ma); an unnamed red-haired male who is named Zack in the other episode, "The Hatrocks and the Gruesomes"; and their cousins Benjy and Maybelle.
