When Agent Rock Slag is injured in the line of duty, his superiors contact Fred Flintstone due to his resemblance to Slag and assign him to complete his mission: to meet Tanya, the Green Goose's #1 lieutenant, who has agreed to turn over the evil Green Goose in return for a chance to meet the irresistible Rock Slag.
----
!!This animated film provides examples of the following tropes:

* TenMinuteRetirement: After learning how dangerous the Green Goose really is and being chased halfway across Italy thanks to both some of Rock Slag's fangirls and Ali and Bobo which also makes him miss the entire night with Wilma, Fred decides to drop the assignment and leave it to the professionals. However, guilt over the fact that the criminal could threaten everyone in the world, Pebbles included, convinces him to take it up again.
* AmusementParkOfDoom: The Green Goose's hideout is an abandoned amusement park.
* ArtShift: The song "Someday" is animated with child-like drawings.
* BigDamnMovie
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Ali and Bobo.
* ButtMonkey: Even though he's a master spy, Rock sure suffers a lot of bad luck and even worse injuries.
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: The faux diamond necklace that Fred buys for Wilma. After the Green Goose locks him and Barney in his missile, he sees it and tells them he will spare them if he can have it, not knowing that it's fake and Fred plays along with it. He opens the missile door, and they pull him in by the necklace. His cohorts go in to help, and Fred and Barney exit and lock them in, and they are blasted off into space.]]
* ChickMagnet: Agent Slag is presented as being irresistible to women, to the point that one woman follows Fred (whom she thinks is Slag) to Bedrock all the way from ''Italy'' to get him to marry her.
* DemotedToExtra: Bamm-Bamm has no dialogue in the movie. Pebbles is largely unimportant, but gets two musical numbers (one of them helping to motivate Fred to continue his espionage job).
* EyeObscuringHat: Averted with Tanya. The brim of her hat goes over her eyes, but has eye holes so they can still be seen.
* FakeDefector: [[spoiler: Tanya to the Green Goose.]]
* FallingChandelierOfDoom: [[spoiler: Ali and Bobo use one to take the Chief out of commission. It isn't clear if it actually kills him, though, because even though he is not seen again after this, he is referred to as merely being "out cold."]]
* GrandFinale: Of the original series.
* IdenticalStranger: Agent Rock Slag to Fred.
* KnightOfCerebus: The Green Goose was one of the most threatening villains who appeared in the series at that point.
* MasterOfDisguise: Triple X [[spoiler: is a villainous example, as he is later revealed to actually be the Green Goose.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler: Triple X is actually the Green Goose.]]
* PoorCommunicationKills: Fred takes the job because nobody clarifies who the Green Goose is and he assumes they're asking him to catch a rare bird. He's naturally terrified when he finds out the Green Goose is a dangerous criminal.
* RefusalOfTheCall:
-->'''Fred:''' It's too dangerous. I have a family to think about. Pebble's future.\\
'''Chief:''' If we don't stop the Green Goose, Pebbles won't ''have'' a future!\\
'''Fred:''' I'm sorry, but you'll just have to get somebody else.
* SignificantDoubleCasting: Paul Frees voices both [[spoiler: the Green Goose]] and [[spoiler: Triple X.]] It initially doesn't seem like much of a big deal since he voices several other characters in the film as well, [[spoiler: up until it's revealed that the two characters are the same person.]]
* SwanSong: This was intended to be the GrandFinale of the entire franchise.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Ali and Bobo.
* UsingYouAllAlong: [[spoiler:Fred finds out all too late that Agent XXX is really The Green Goose.]]
* WholePlotReference: The movie is taken wholesale from the James Bond novel ''Literature/{{Moonraker}}''.
