The Flintstones: On the Rocks recap
A 2001 Cartoon Network film. Fred and Wilma's marriage has gone stale: they argue constantly, a counselling session ends in a fight, and they both forget their anniversary. Barney and Betty pay for a trip to Rockapulco to save the marriage. There a jewel thief named Xavier steals a diamond, and in a mix-up it ends up in Wilma's luggage. Wilma finds it, assumes it is a gift from Fred and briefly warms to him, but Fred soon spoils it again. Xavier, posing as a charming Englishman, sets out to win Wilma over and get the diamond back, and takes her to dinner. Fred sees them together, is hurt, and drinks at the hotel bar with a woman he meets there, which pushes Wilma toward Xavier.
The Flintstones: On the Rocks ending explained
At a dance, Xavier grabs for the diamond, and after a chase he kidnaps Wilma and drives her to a bridge over a volcano. Fred arrives and tells her that he could never afford a diamond, but having her makes him the richest man alive. Xavier knocks Fred out, Wilma beats Xavier herself, and the woman from the bar, an undercover policewoman, arrests him. Fred and Wilma enjoy the rest of their trip, while the Rubbles start bickering.
