Synopsis
Fred's day off is disrupted by a flaw in his normally perfect stonework. The flaw is all the more critical because it is in the checkerboard-patterned paving stone plaza in front of the Bedrock City Hall. An uneven, depressed stone is causing pedestrians to trip and fall, so Fred and Barney rush over to remedy the situation before the mayor finds out. They discover more than one cause, and must enact more than one solution - with a few false starts along the way.
