Today, Scooby Doo meets the Globetrotters.
I'm glad we spent the day in Boston.
I've always wanted to see some of those historical places.
It was great seeing Paul Revere's house, the Old North Church . . . .
We should have spent more time at the Bunker Hill.
- The Bunker Hill? - Yeah.
The Bunker Hill Pizza Parlor.
Yeah. Pizza parlor.
I only had four.
Food, food, food. Shaggy, is that all you ever think about?
I think about eating a lot.
Think about giving me directions to your great-uncle's place.
- I'd like to get there before dark. - Good old Uncle Nat.
I haven't seen him for years.
In that case, are you sure this is the right way?
Let's see.
Yep, this is the right way. Straight ahead, just like you're going.
How are those hamburgers coming, Meadowlark?
They're coming, Gip. They're coming.
I hope you've got those charcoals on high, because I'm starved.
How do you want them? Well, medium or rare?
- I'd like mine now. - Coming at you, Geese.
Something smells good.
Like I said, this is definitely the right way.
You do mean to your great-uncle's place?
I mean to that food.
Hey, you guys. Look who's here.
The Globetrotters. What would they be doing here?
Let's find out.
Boy, it sure is great seeing you guys again.
And how! And especially here, in the middle of nowhere.
I'm sure glad we decided to stop here to have a picnic.
- You bet. - So are we.
And double thanks for the grub. Where you guys headed?
For some peace and quiet, we hope.
We just finished some games around Boston. We're bushed.
- Not to mention tired. - Like, hey. I've got a great idea.
We're on—
We're on our way to visit my Uncle Nathaniel. Why don't you come with us?
Thanks, but we couldn't barge in on him like that.
No, no. Like, his place has got, like, 75 rooms, man.
And if it's peace and quiet, this is the place.
Nothing exciting has happened around here . . .
. . . since the redcoats left 200 years ago.
Wow, is this ever neat. Riding in the famous Globetrotters bus.
I just wish Granny was driving like she usually does.
I'm not used to handling this monster.
How come you let Shaggy take over the Mystery Machine?
He's the only one who knows the way to his Uncle Nat's place.
And even he's not too sure as it is.
I just hope he doesn't get us lost, that's all.
How much further is it, Shaggy?
Well, I'm not exactly sure. It's been a while since I was here.
Road map?
Yeah. Scoob's got a good idea. Let's have a look at the—
You keep your eyes on the road. I'll look at the map.
- What kind of a map is this? - Like, it's a road map, what else?
But what are all these marks all over it?
Oh, those. Those are all the hot dog and hamburger stands around here.
A fella's gotta know where his next meal is coming from, you know.
You two are the limit. The absolute limit.
- Shaggy, are we lost? - Of course not.
I just wanted to take you to Uncle Nat's by the scenic route.
Oh, boy.
Scenic route? And at night, yet.
- What's that? - Oh, my gosh!
A ghost!
if that's the kind of scenery you had in mind, Shag, we'll pass on seeing the rest.
What's going on?
- Who's that? - Who's that? You mean what's that?
- Maybe it's a hitchhiker. - On his way to a Halloween party.
Go away!
- Who are you? - Go away!
I said, who are you?
Ghosts of the past roam these parts.
Strangers are not welcome. Go!
Is that really a ghost?
Does that answer your question, Curly?
That's good enough for me. I'm getting out of here.
- Go, man, go! - And the faster the better.
Shaggy, wait. Hold up. I want to talk to you.
Shaggy, stop!
Shaggy, Freddy wants us to stop. Will you please do what he asks?
Well, I suppose we have lost that ghostly fella by now.
- Look. - Not again!
Go back! Go back!
Shaggy, look out!
- Did you say something, Velma? - Never mind.
Hey, that was a neat shortcut, Shag. We're back on the road.
Shaggy's running like a scared rabbit. We'll never catch him.
The only way he's gonna stop is by running out of gas.
He may not have to. Look there.
"Danger. Bridge out. "
I wonder if Shaggy saw that?
Of course not. He's too scared.
We'd better catch him, Gip. Before it's too late.
Shag! Hey, look ahead.
It's an old-fashioned covered bridge. How quaint.
It's also closed. Stop, Shaggy!
I can't!
We made it.
How did you manage that, Shaggy? The bridge was out.
Well, when things get tough, old Shag always manages to get through.
Now, why do you suppose that bridge was closed? It looks solid to me.
That is funny. Come on.
I'm no authority on bridges, but this one looks almost brand-new.
- I can't even see one broken board. - Of course not.
Put it in myself five, six months ago.
Now get that dag nab light out of my eyes, sonny.
Well, I'll be.
- Uncle Nathaniel! - How'd you know who I am?
That's easy. You're the spitting image of Shaggy.
Shaggy?
Hi, Uncle Nat.
Why, Shaggy!
And Scooby too. What a surprise.
Uncle Nat, meet my friends. This is Velma and Daphne . . .
. . . and Freddy and the famous Globetrotters.
Gang, this is Uncle Nat.
- Hi! - Nice to meet you, sir.
Well, hi. The pleasure's all mine, folks.
Shaggy, what are you doing in this neck of the woods?
Looking for you, Uncle Nat, but I sort of got mixed up.
I don't remember that old bridge at all.
Of course you don't.
I built it myself to add a bit of local color.
Folks used to come from miles around to take pictures of it.
What do you mean used to come?
Well, mighty peculiar things have been happening of late.
Come on up to the house for a snack and I'll tell you all about it.
And that's it. I never put up that sign.
Oh, boy, a mystery!
- Mystery? Oh, no. - What's the matter, Scoob? Nervous?
Well, just remember the old saying: You can always whistle your fears away.
- Now that sounds like a good idea. - Yeah.
Hey, Uncle Nat. Catch.
I guess I ain't too good at— At basketball?
Hey, just a minute. The Globetrotters?
You mean you're the Globetrotters?
- The one and only, Uncle Nat. - Right.
Well, I'll be. Say, how'd you fellas do that?
if you knew that, then you could form your own team.
Oh, no.
Come on. A nice walk around the house will calm your nerves.
I hope so.
Gosh, it's been a long time since I visited Uncle Nat.
You know, I can't remember my way around the house.
- I wonder what's in here. - Nothing, I hope.
Hey! This place could pass for a studio morgue.
Morgue?
I mean the kind of morgue where you keep old pictures and things.
Hey, look, there's a portrait of my great-grandfather Nathaniel.
And there's my great-great-grandfather. His name was Benjamin.
And there's my great-great-grandmother Matilda.
Notice the family characteristic?
It's the nose. Noses run in our family.
Noses run?
- I didn't mean it that way, Scooby. - Noses.
The eyes! The eyes!
Yeah, the eyes are a predominant characteristic too.
- And they move. - That's just your imagination.
Hey, look!
An old family album.
Maybe I'm in here somewhere.
Look, there I am!
Okay, knock it off.
There may be a picture of you in here.
And here it is.
Guess who that is on the bearskin rug?
That's me.
Where'd you go?
That's just a dressmaker's dummy, dummy.
Come on, I'll show you.
Madame would have the dress made on the dummy . . .
. . . and then when the dress was fini...
Madame would look simply gorgeous. Et voila!
The eyes! The eyes!
Come on, we're not gonna go through that again, are we?
Come here, come here.
Look.
Yeah? I don't see anything about the eyes.
But those ears!
I think your nerves are getting on my nerves.
We need a good night's rest. Come on, Scooby.
Scooby-Doo, I'm with you.
Scoob?
I can't sleep. Let's grab a tide-me-over snack till breakfast.
This hits the spot. I wonder what kind of soup this is?
Delicious.
That ain't soup, nephew. It's soap.
Soap?
- Soap? - Yep, made it myself.
- You did? - Yep. It's an old pioneer recipe.
Mix in sheep tallow, hog fat, sprinkle a pinch of ash and—
Well, you two look a little peaked. Better go to bed.
Danger, danger. The British are coming.
Danger, danger.
- What's that? - What is it?
We are doomed. The British are coming.
Leave at once.
Man, this whole country is full of weirdoes.
Maybe we should pack up and go somewhere else.
Like Mexico.
Now, wait a minute. This could be one big joke.
Yeah, just what I was thinking. For instance, where's Uncle Nat right now?
- Beats me. - I don't know.
Listen.
Whatever it is, that noise is coming from in there.
Howdy, Fred. We were— We were—
Tell them what we were doing, Shaggy.
Hiding.
You'd think I'd be used to it by now . . .
. . . but there's something very unsettling about ghosts.
You mean that imitation Paul Revere shows up often?
Yeah, him or one just like him.
I ain't had a good night's sleep in weeks.
I sure would go bananas if I lived here.
Me too.
There's one good thing. They only show up once a night.
Once is enough. No use being greedy about this.
Just to make certain nothing else happens . . .
. . . Shaggy and I will take turns standing guard.
How come everybody's in bed but us?
Yeah, us?
Look, your uncle's bushed, right? The Globetrotters are our guests and—
- I know, that leaves us. - Right.
Now let's draw straws to see who stands the first watch.
Odd length loses.
Long!
Now you, Scooby.
Short!
Long. See you later, Scoob.
- I hope. - Don't worry, old pal.
At the first sign of danger, you yank on this string . . .
. . . and I'll be right with you.
Attention.
Hup, two, three, four. Hup, two, three, four.
Danger, danger.
Where?
Scooby, that's only shadows from the tree outside.
It is?
Oh, boy. Now that I'm wide awake again, I'll stand watch.
Thanks.
Why don't you go down and fix us a soothing snack.
All right.
He's here. He's here!
It's about time, Scooby.
Looks delicious. Now, what were you—?
Yow! And double yow!
Everybody up and everybody out!
What's up?
What's all the fuss about?
We got trouble. Trouble with a capital G-H-O-S-T.
Gangway!
The sandwiches.
Shaggy, come back here.
- Where are we? - I think we're in a closet.
Yeah. And so is he.
I wonder where everybody went.
Maybe looking for us, like we're looking for them.
Well, no one's been here recently. Look at all the dust.
It's too bad we didn't wander into the kitchen instead of this library.
This book's stuck.
- What happened? - A good question.
- I wish I had a good answer. - Or even a bad answer.
I think we've found that bad answer.
Man, that dude can follow us anywhere.
You mean he can try. Come on.
I wonder if we lost him.
I don't hear anything.
- Scram! - Oh, boy. Here we go again.
Maybe this will stop him.
Stop him? It didn't even slow him down.
Maybe not, but it sure speeds me up.
Great choice, Shag. We're at a dead end.
Maybe we lost him.
I think he's found us.
- What will we do? - Over here.
Hey! Looks like an old laundry chute.
Wait! No telling what's waiting at the bottom.
That's right, but I'm not waiting for what's up here.
- What did you say? - Geronimo!
Hey, wait for me!
ls the coast clear?
I sure hope so. Let's take a look.
You guy—
Two!
- Wait! - Wait. Hold it.
- Meadowlark? - Curly?
Kind of fooled you, didn't they?
- I knew it was them all the time. - Sure.
Don't know about you two, but all this chasing around has got me hungry.
What say we find the kitchen and rustle up some grub?
You two are men after my own heart.
Well, howdy, nephew. I figured the smell of cooking would bring you out of hiding.
Where have you been?
We looked all over for you.
We were looking for you, but all we found was the ghost.
- You mean he found us. - You'd better believe it.
- You don't believe they're really ghosts? - Well . . . .
The one we saw last night sure passed the test.
And how.
It's almost daylight, boys. How's about some breakfast?
- How many can you handle, Shaggy? - This will be just fine, Uncle Nat.
Delicious.
You did mention something about seconds, didn't you?
Oh, yeah, of course.
So, what are our plans for today? Like, what time is lunch?
Uncle Nat's been telling us about a cove not far from here.
Good fishing, water-skiing, scuba diving.
Sounds terrific to me.
Sounds super-great to me. I haven't been scuba diving in ages.
And we just happen to have some tanks in the bus right now.
- Let's head for that water. - I can hardly wait.
- Me too. Let's go. - Everybody out!
You guys get the gear together. Scooby and I will fix a lunch.
I hate to mention this, but you might keep your eyes peeled down at the cove.
- What do you mean, Uncle Nat? - I don't rightly know, Freddy.
But some folks hereabouts claim to have seen something peculiar down there.
- Like what? - Well . . . .
Like a sea serpent.
Sea serpent?
Oh, no! First it was the ghost of Paul Revere.
Now we have our very own Loch Ness monster.
Ghosts? Monster?
I'm gonna lose my appetite.
Thanks for the tip, Uncle Nat. We'll keep our eyes peeled.
You know something? I don't think I want to see a sea serpent.
Relax, Curly. if you see a sea serpent . . .
. . .I'll see that you don't see what you thought you saw. See?
Yeah. I think I see.
Well, it's not exactly Miami Beach, but we're here.
Let's see about getting some boats.
- Hey, stranger. - We'd like to rent some boats.
- We're closed. - Closed?
Man, you've got a sign right up there that says, "Boats For Rent" . . .
. . . and you tell us you're closed. How come?
Don't believe nothing you hear, and only half of what you read.
Hey, that's good. Don't believe you're nothing . . .
- . . . only half. - Will you knock it off?
What kind of business are you running anyway?
- isn't our money any good? - Yeah, we wanna go scuba dubing.
- We're gonna complain. - Yeah. To the sheriff or constable.
Or the city council. We'll have them revoke your license.
Just a minute. No use getting all heated up like this, is there, Winslow?
No. I don't suppose there'd be any harm in letting out a couple of boats.
Groovy. That's more like it. Let's get going, gang.
- Man, this is real cool. - Yeah.
This is really living.
Is this ever fun.
Real groovy. Wonder if the boys are having as much fun scuba dubing.
Those signs say, "Off Limits. " So let's keep clear of that area.
- Aye, aye, skipper. - Come on, you water bugs, over the side.
Come on, Shaggy, you too.
That's cold.
Come on, Scoob, the water's fine.
ldiots! I told you not to rent any boats.
But, Morgan—
No buts. I don't want nobody snooping around. It's too risky.
But they was gonna call in the sheriff.
Their scuba gear can foul things up a lot more than that landlubber sheriff.
Come on, let's get them out of here.
Oh, my gosh. Look!
What's the matter?
Get us out of here, fast!
But what happened?
This is no time for talking. This is time for moving. Like, now!
So you saw that sea serpent, Shaggy?
- Right, Uncle Nat. It was unbelievable. - Sure was.
- It was as big as a house. - Bigger.
Like, it's as big as a mountain. With teeth like some kind of dragon . . .
. . . breathing fire and everything.
Shaggy?
You mind cutting out the pantomime? It makes me kind of nervous.
Why, you poor kids. Must have scared you half to death.
Sure did.
You don't suppose Shaggy could be exaggerating just a teensy little bit?
It's been known to happen, but this time Shaggy has witnesses.
That's right. And it was a pretty scary thing.
More than that. It was super-scary.
if Meadowlark and Curly say they saw something in that cove . . .
. . . that's enough for me.
Just how much do you know about this creature? Have you ever seen it?
Nope. About all I know is that up till now, it's only been seen at night.
- Why, just like those ghosts. - Right.
Matter of fact, between those ghosts on land and that creature in the cove . . .
. . . most folks have moved out of these parts.
Gosh, Uncle Nat, you're sure brave to stick it out.
Nope. Just stubborn.
It's kind of hard to leave a place your great-great-great-granddaddy built.
That's the Yankee spirit.
Well, I don't know. With all that's happening . . .
. . . those offers from Winslow and Selby sure tempt the spirit.
You mean those guys at the dock?
The ones what didn't wanna rent the boats?
The same.
- We should go down to the cove tonight. - Tonight? Why?
It just occurred to me that there just might be some connection . . .
. . . between those ghosts and our Loch Ness monster.
What's this monster you guys keep talking about?
The famous Loch Ness monster in Scotland.
It's supposed to be a sea serpent that people claim to see every so often.
Yet nobody has ever taken a photograph of it.
And l, for one, just plain don't believe in sea serpents.
I'm with you. We'll go to the cove tonight and see what happens.
Who volunteers to go?
Come on, fellas.
All right. All those staying . . .
. . . don't raise your hand.
There you are, Freddy boy . . .
. . . your volunteer army. And Curly will be their leader.
How about you, Meadowlark?
You've gotta have a teacher here too.
Yeah, I forgot.
How about you two, Shaggy?
I thought we'd give Uncle Nat a hand with the chores.
Okay. If you'd rather stay here alone with that friendly ghost with the lantern.
Ghost?
Let's hope we have good luck and get a look at that whatsit.
You call that good luck? I call it a catastrophe.
Who goes and who stays? We can't all fit in one boat.
Scoob and I will be glad to make room for somebody else.
- Just a minute. We need you. - Why?
You know how bad my eyesight is at night.
Me too.
See? Blind as a bat sometimes.
I know, but you've got a terrific sense of smell.
Good try, but I think anybody who saw that thing this afternoon . . .
. . . should be along to identify it.
That means Meadowlark and I are elected?
Right. And I'll steer.
Well, that sort of settles that. Looks like we miss out on the fun, Daph.
if that's her idea of fun . . .
. . .I'll be happy to stay right here and order a double portion of misery.
Right on. Sea monsters and me just don't get along too well.
Have a good trip. Maybe you can run into Moby Dick too.
You're our official lookout, Scoob, so keep a sharp eye out.
Right.
See you guys later.
Take your time. We'll enjoy our misery like all get-out.
This may be a long night.
So let's do something, then.
Hey, that's wild.
- Give me a circle, girls. - What's this for?
It will serve as a makeshift basket.
This is what I call my around-the-world shot.
That's wonderful.
Do your "Now you see it, now you don't" bit, Pab.
- What's that? - You'll see.
- Take it, Daphne. - Take what?
I'll get it.
How did that happen?
Which one of you has been practicing a new trick and not telling anyone?
- What's the matter? - This is your last warning.
- Leave at once. - I don't believe it.
Seeing is believing for me, buddy. Bye.
On second thought . . .
- . . .it was a bad idea. - Why?
if those creepies should look in here, we're finished.
There's no place to hide.
Well, somebody better think of something quick . . .
. . . because here they come.
There's no escape for ye.
Man, this turns into work real soon. Let's rest.
Good idea. Let's take five.
How come we didn't bring a powerboat?
So as not to make noise, that's why.
- Sure this is where we were today? - I'm sure we're close to it, at least.
But we sure haven't seen any signs of sea serpents yet.
And let's keep it that way. Right, Scoob?
- What's up, Scoob? - That's it. That's it.
- Scooby's seen something. - I'm scared to look.
What is it? What's he see?
He sees a reflection of himself.
That's okay, pal. L, for one, am glad you didn't see the real thing.
I wonder how the rest of the gang are doing.
Must be kind of dull for them, just sitting around waiting for us.
Have we lost them yet?
Don't you wish? They're right behind us.
Well, what do we do now? Take a boat and go out on the cove with the others?
No, but that gives me an idea. Come on.
What do you think? We've been here an hour . . .
. . . and we've only seen Scooby's reflection.
- Shall we give up? - Maybe it's a wild-goose chase.
I'm all for it. Never was too fond of wild goose anyway.
Me too.
What's that?
Oh, my gosh. Look! Look at that.
That doesn't look like any wild goose I ever saw.
- Let's get out of here! - On the double.
No, make it on the triple!
Faster, faster! He's gaining on us.
- I think we've had it. - Not yet, we haven't. Faster!
He's trying to swamp us. Turn!
- There goes Scooby. - Help! Help!
- The thing's got Scooby. - Or he's got it, maybe.
What's the matter with that thing? Hang on, Scoob!
Help!
I'm beginning to suspect that our sea serpent is nothing but a lot of hot air.
Help!
Help! Help! Help!
Well, I'll be. A seasick sea serpent.
Well, well. So our ghosts are really Winslow and Selby.
And they don't look too ghostly right now.
But that still leaves one ghost unaccounted for.
- The one with the lantern. - Look.
It's him! And he's getting away!
Oh, no, he's not. Always keep one of these handy.
- Bull's-eye. - Right on.
- Who is he? - Name's Morgan.
Been around here for a spell. Don't rightly know what he does.
He invented that fake sea serpent, for one thing.
And he made us go around in these ghost outfits scaring people away.
A remote control. I'll bet this is how he manipulated that serpent.
And it was working fine until you gang of snoopers came around.
But why? Why go to all this trouble to scare people away?
Because Morgan found an old sunken treasure ship out there in the cove.
He didn't want nobody else . . .
- . . .to get the gold in it. - Shut up!
It was probably the payroll for the British soldiers when they were here.
Gold? Sunken treasure?
Why, I've known about that for 30 years.
It's a fake, a dummy. Like your sea serpent.
What do you mean fake? I saw the gold.
Years ago a movie company made a motion picture here . . .
. . . because of the extra-clear water. It was called Sunken Treasure.
That ship is just part of an old movie set?
That's right. As phony as the gold Morgan saw.
They just left it there when the movie was finished.
I guess now you're double-glad you refused to be scared off, Uncle Nat.
Shucks. It'd take a lot more than some phony ghosts to scare the likes of us.
Right, Uncle Nat?
Oh, no! Not again.
