"The Return of Stony Curtis" is the third episode of the sixth season of The Flintstones. It aired on October 1, 1965.
Synopsis
Wilma enters a competition and wins movie star Stoney 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.
