"Rooms for Rent" is the twenty-seventh episode of the first season of the original series, The Flintstones. It aired on March 31, 1961.
Wilma & Betty lodge two music-playing college students for two to get some extra cash--$500 to be exact.
Woeful finances for both Flintstone and Rubble households prompt the two couples to lease the spare room in their respective homes to boarders, and while Fred and Barney are at work, Wilma and Betty are visited by two amiable scholars of music, one a tall bongo drummer, the other a diminutive piano player, who, while learning their trade at Bedrock College, need a place to stay and have seen the "room for rent" shingle above the Flintstones' door.
Unfortunately, they are without funds for rent payment. Wilma and Betty feel sorry for the two young men and offer to accommodate them for no fee, provided that they help Wilma and Betty to develop a victorious act for an upcoming annual musical competition at the Dinosaur Lodge, the prize for best performance being $500. Wilma and Betty know that their husbands would disapprove of this arrangement, their winning of the prize not necessarily being guaranteed.
So, without mentioning the particulars of the room-rental agreement, they promise to Fred and Barney $500 at the end of the musicians' two-week stay. Fred's blood pressure rises when he must share his food with his hungry guest, and he is annoyed by the seemingly incessant drumming of the first music student, while Barney is provoked to attempting to throttle the aspiring pianist.
When the time comes for the boarders to part company with their hosts, after having taught Wilma and Betty to dance to piano and bongo drum music, Wilma and Betty must explain the rent arrangement with the young men to Fred and Barney, who are quite displeased by it. However, Wilma and Betty do win the $500 with their learned dancing techniques, and Fred and Barney zealously commence practice on bongo drum and piano in hope of winning the Dinosaur Lodge's $500 prize for the next year's musical competition.
