The Babysitters (1960)
Wilma turns over the care of their friend's baby to Fred and Barney. Unfortunately, their babysitting duties fall on the night of the big fight. They babysit little Egbert and bring the child to Joe Rockhead's house so they can watch the fights. Joe's Runtosaurus (and all hell) breaks loose. Teaser Sequence: Fred wonders why Wilma is being so nice to him and she tells him that she has to give a baby his bottle. Fred reacts to what Wilma said about a baby in the house and that they don't have one. She brings out baby Eggbert and Fred gets excited that Wilma has a baby and that he would have stayed home from work…
