In the film, Fred Flintstone (voiced by Alan Reed) is recruited by a secret organization to take the place of an injured agent who happens to be Fred's doppelgänger. His mission: to travel to Europe (under the guise of a family vacation) and catch the evil Green Goose (voiced by Harvey Korman). The catch is Fred is unable to tell his family or friends about the mission. Mel Blanc once again provides the voice of Fred's sidekick, Barney Rubble. The movie includes numerous musical interludes, including one song performed by Louis Prima.
