[instrumental music]

[intense music]

(man on radio) 'And at two minutes before midnight'

'here in Lake City, it's 68 degrees.'

'We're looking at temperatures in the high 80's'

'for tomorrow and now it's back to news.'

[alarm blaring]

That noise, where is it coming from?

Who is there?

(Scarab) 'What's wrong, Sloan?'

'Don't you recognize the Scarab alarm?'

- After all, you created it. - Who-who are you?

You don't know, you've only drawn

those infernal comic books about me for ten years.

No, no, it's impossible.

[laughs] How could you forget about my Scarab's sting?

You invented it.

- The Blue Scarab? - That's right, Sloan.

You gave me life on your drawing board.

But you will draw no more comic books.

Is that clear?

No more comic books.

You-you can't be the Blue Scarab

you can't, you can't.

(Scarab) 'Ha-ha-ha!'

(Shaggy) '"Ha-ha-ha, you'll never be able to carry out'

your sinister plans, for I am the Blue Scarab."

Wow, what a hero.

Keep reading, Shaggy. I love how you read the "Blue Scarab."

(Shaggy) "I fight a never ending battle for good guys.

And I never lose."

[slurping]

Boy, would I like to meet up with him. He's my kinda hero.

The Blue Scarab is really somethin' alright, Scrappy.

- Hey, like, that's weird. - Yum-yum-yum-yum.

[slurping]

- Scooby. - Huh?

Is that my mango malt on your lips?

- Not anymore. - Not anymore.

(Velma) Hey, guys, listen to this.

"Noted comic book artist, Jerry Sloan

claims he is being haunted by his own creation."

- "The Blue Scarab." - Like, haunted?

Oh, boy, a real Blue Scarab.

Oh, it must be a publicity stunt, Scrappy.

Yeah? Well, we'll see about that.

Come on, Uncle Scooby.

You and me are gonna meet the Blue Scarab.

We are gonna beat him, aren't we, Uncle Scooby?

- Yeah. - Ta-da-ta-tat-ta-ta!

Puppy power.

Well, looks like we're going to investigate.

Yeah, whether we want to or not, right, Fred?

Right.

(Fred) 'We read about your problem in the paper, Mr. Sloan.'

(Sloan) 'If you believe my story, you're the only ones.'

After all, a comic book character coming to life..

It's pretty unbelievable, alright.

Then it's all a joke, right? Huh? Ha-ha-ha!

Yeah, right? He-he-he-he.

Right?

I, uh.. I don't think it was a joke, Scoob.

After the Blue Scarab vanished..

...I found this on my wall.

That's the sign of the Scarab.

Like, in the comics he leaves that mark

to warn criminals he'll be back.

He's coming back?

Well, I'm gonna find him first, Come on, unc.

We'll show him he can't go around scaring a guy..

Hm, this is very interesting.

And very frightening, Velma.

He wants me to stop drawing his comics.

So, I am.

Does anyone else draw those comics?

Just me. Oh, I have an assistant to do the lettering.

'But the Blue Scarab is my creation.'

(Scrappy) If that Blue Scarab person is hiding around here

we'll find him and we'll splat him.

Won't we, Uncle Scooby? Huh? I mean, won't we?

Blue Scarab! Uh, Scrappy.

I'll bet this is the Scarab's secret hiding place.

Uh-oh.

[rumbling]

Yikes!

- Jinkies, what was that? - It came from the hallway.

Uncle Scooby? Where are you, Uncle Scooby?

This is no time to be reading comic books, Uncle Scooby.

Did you find the Blue Scarab?

No, they found my comic book collection.

But we're gettin' close.

Hey, like I haven't seen this one before.

Blue Sc.. Super crook? "Blue Scarab, Super Crook."

That's next month's issue, it's not on the stands yet.

- You can have it, if you like. - Uh, thank you.

Would you mind if we had a talk with your publisher, Mr. Sloan?

Not at all, if you think it could help.

Uh, good idea, Fred, old buddy, like, we'll just stay here

and catch up on our reading, I mean cleaning.

I-I mean, we'll clean up this mess, alright, Fred?

'It's a catastrophe, the "Blue Scarab"'

'is my number one seller, and if Sloan doesn't draw him'

'I'm out of millions.'

I've got to keep this presses moving.

But this "Blue Scarab" thing

would shake up anybody, Mr. Hardy.

It's just an excuse, I've told you, Hardy.

Jerry Sloan is through.

Kids, this is Floyd Hotchkiss, another of my artists.

Your best artist.

Wise up and dump Sloan.

Oh, you wouldn't really fire him, would you?

If Sloan won't draw, I'll have no other choice.

Which means we better get back and unlock this mystery.

(Sloan) We draw comic books much larger than the size they print it.

Then a camera photographs the pages and reduces them.

My assistant then takes the pages..

[scarab alarm]

- Oh, no! - Yikes!

Oh, boy, it's the Blue Scarab alarm.

Look, it's the Blue Scarab himself.

[laughing]

This is no time to look in here for clues, Uncle Scooby.

The Blue Scarab is here.

I have returned.

Yee-ow!

Have you decided to retire or do you need further convincing?

L-like sure. We'll retire anything.

You name it, we'll do it.

(Scrappy) Wow! Ruff. It's the real Blue Scarab.

So how come our hero is such a meanie?

You designed me to strike terror

into the heart's of evil-doers, Sloan.

'But now, I strike terror into your heart.'

And mine too, Mr. Blue Scarab, sir.

Ruff, let me at him.

He can't talk to our friend that way.

Shaggy, help!

The Blue Scarab will turn to crime

and ruin forever his name and yours.

Ha-ha-ha!

(Sloan) 'He's getting away.'

(Scrappy) 'I'll stop him, I'll stop him.'

We'll get him now, Uncle Scoob. Ta-da-da-tat-ta-da!

- Help! - Like you said it, Scoob.

Help!

(Scrappy) 'P-p-puppy power!'

How about that, I think he got him.

- Yeah? - What happened?

I got you now, Blue Scarab.

You can't get away from Scrappy-Doo I tell you.

[barking]

Let go of me, you little--

Scrappy, like, that isn't the Blue Scarab.

- It isn't? - Uh-huh.

Well, what'd you expect? I'm just a little puppy.

That's Howard Gruber, my assistant.

(Velma) 'What happened?'

And the Blue Scarab was just here.

And he escaped down that hall.

Well, he didn't go by me.

And we sure didn't see him.

But how could he just vanish like that?

That's a good question.

The same way I'm leaving, Sloan.

I've had it with all this nonsense.

'The Blue Scarab, here, hmpf.'

Uh, it was really something, Fred.

Like, it was the Blue Scarab, alright.

Only he said, he said he was turning to crime.

- That's right. - The Blue Scarab, a criminal?

This could destroy a doggy's fate. Oh, no!

(Shaggy) Hey, it's just like in this comic.

(Velma) '"Blue Scarab, Super Crook."'

(Sloan) 'It's just a story, Velma.'

'A villain hypnotizes the Blue Scarab'

'into committing robberies for him.'

And like, his first stop is a jewelry store.

[intense music]

He-he. Boy, this guy is really something.

You show 'em, Blue Scarab. What was that?

[scarab alarm]

[crashing]

Hold it right there, mister. You're going to--

zing

Now, for the jewels.

These should do nicely for the first loot

in the Blue Scarab's crime spree.

[laughing]

Police, there-there's been a robbery.

A-and you'll never believe who did it.

(man on radio) 'And the report indicates that the Blue Scarab'

'made off with almost one million dollars'

'worth of valuable gems.'

A jewelry store robbery.

Just like in Shaggy's comic.

Zoinks! Here, Scoob, you can have it.

- Consider it a gift. - No, thanks.

Let me see that, will you, Uncle Scooby?

There could be a clue in here.

Oh, come on, there must be thousands of copies

of that issue in the city.

No, Daphne, it doesn't come out until next month.

The only other person who has one is my publisher.

It says here the Blue Scarab's next crime is a bank heist.

Oh! Ha-ha-ha.

Like, uh, like, why don't we just forget

all this silly stuff for a while

and uh, relax with some music, huh?

(man on radio) 'The Blue Scarab has struck again.'

'This time at the First Big Town Bank'

'where he escaped with..'

Ha-ha-ha.

Oh, boy, there, like, uh, I'm more relaxed already, huh?

It looks like the Blue Scarab is acting out

this whole comic book.

And his next target is..

...the City Museum.

(Fred) 'The City Museum, boy, I hope we're not too late.'

Ha-ha-ha, funny, I was just hoping we are.

Come on, Shaggy. Be brave like me and my Uncle Scooby.

We're gonna find that Blue Scarab

and splat him with a capital splat.

Well, it all seems quiet so far.

Meddling fools.

Okay, now, Scrappy

we want you to stay here for your own safety.

Ah, but, uh, but don't you need me to--

Don't move, got it?

(Scrappy) 'Sure, Uncle Scooby.'

Don't move, I got it.

Alright, we'll be right back, I hope.

Ah, look!

Scrappy!

I'm not movin'. I'm not movin'.

Scrappy!

Oh, no, it's gonna hit Scrappy.

What's that, Daphne?

Hey, look, Uncle Scooby. A big stone thing.

- Scrappy. - 'Save him, Scoob.'

[dramatic music]

[panting]

Yikes!

boing

Hey, here it comes again.

You picked the best spot, Uncle Scooby.

thud

You did it, you saved us from being squashed, Uncle Scooby.

I did? He-he-he-he.

[blowing a raspberry]

[creaking]

Good idea, Uncle Scooby. Camouflage.

- Camouflage. - Uncle Scoob?

Like, there he is. The Blue Scarab!

[laughing]

(Daphne) 'He's getting away.'

Come on, everybody.

(Shaggy) 'This way, Scoob.'

We're gonna splat that mean old Blue Scarab, uh, this time.

(Shaggy) 'But leave Scrappy-Doo there.'

(Scooby) Wait here, okay?

I never get in on the good stuff.

Hey, I can still help

with one of my ingenious Scrappy traps.

Ruff, ruff.

[dramatic music]

[tinkling]

screech

[tinkling]

clang

[tinkling]

thud

[tinkling]

- He's gone. - We saw him, Daphne.

We know he's up here some place.

Alright, just in case, Fred, maybe, Scoob and I

should just check someplace else, huh?

- Yeah. - Where?

Oh, I don't know. How about Brazil?

[sobs] We'll be back before you know it.

One month, two months.

- Shaggy. - There he is!

'And he's got the famous ruby crown.'

You'll never stop the Blue Scarab.

[laughing]

Quick! He's getting away.

My Uncle Scooby is gonna be so proud of me

when I catch the Blue Scarab.

Shaggy, Scooby, you check that way. We'll go around the back.

Right, Fred. Oh, boy.

Like, how do we get ourselves into these things, Scoob?

If you ask me, uh, dumb luck, I guess.

Yeah, dumb luck..

Blue Scarab. Hello?

Oh, boy, he's not here, time to go home.

- Yikes! - Zoinks!

It's the Blue Scarab again!

Run, Scoob!

Scrappy! Shaggy!

Here comes the Blue Scarab now.

Boy, will he be surprised.

Wow, ruff.

boing

I got him. Oh, boy, I got him.

Oh, I really do got him. Don't I? Uh, yeah, I got him.

[yelping]

Wow, ruff, it's him, it's him!

It's the Blue Scarab. It's..

It's Uncle Scooby!

Did you see the Blue Scarab in their anywhere

Uncle Scooby? He-he.

(Sloan) 'He was here again, Hardy. And I've had it.'

'I can't take it anymore.'

His crime spree is all over the radio and TV news.

He certainly leaves a big calling card.

Blue Scarab maybe a bad crook

'but he's a terrific painter.'

I guess that does it, Hardy.

The Blue Scarab comic is through for good.

(Shaggy) 'Bad news?'

They've already had over a thousand

subscription cancellations.

Thanks for all your help, there's nothing left to do.

Unless we can find out, who's behind all this.

Wait a second, that's it.

- It is? - Yeah.

If you wanted to make sure

the comic went out of business where would you go?

(Fred) 'Right, Velma. To the presses.'

He's gotta be here.

(Scrappy) And if he's here, we'll catch him.

Won't we, unc? Sure, we will, we'll catch him.

He-he-he-he.

(Velma) 'We'll find him faster, if we all split up.'

[gulps] Split up?

Good idea, Velma.

They'll never learn.

[laughing]

(Daphne) 'Just shout if you see anything, Shaggy.'

Uh-huh, alright, don't worry about me, Daphne.

You'll hear from me, alright. Ha.

Hey, guys, look, you can see

the whole press room from up here.

Where are you, Blue Scarab? You old meanie, you.

Good idea, Scrappy, maybe, we can spot him

before he spots us.

Too late, my friends.

[whirring]

Zoinks! Like, we're moving.

That's great, we could see more of the room that way.

- Scooby, look. - Yikes!

(Shaggy) 'Like, we're gonna be sliced and diced for sure.'

- Help! - Help!

Like, help, help!

Now to take care of the others.

(Shaggy) 'Run! Velma, help me.'

That's Shaggy and Scooby.

They're in trouble, come on!

Not so fast, my friends.

'We have some unfinished business to settle.'

- It's him! - Yes, the Blue Scarab.

[laughing]

[shuddering]

We're goners for sure this time.

- Scoob. - Yeah, goners.

Don't worry, Shaggy. We'll think of somethin'.

Yeah, we'll think of somethin'.

Huh, Uncle Scoob? He-he, oh, boy.

Yee-ow!

[dramatic music]

Oh, boy, saved in the nick of time.

I knew Uncle Scooby would come through.

I'll teach you to listen to warnings.

Ta-da-da-tat-ta-da! P-p-puppy power!

Got you now, you old big bad you--

- Scrappy. - H-e-e-elp!

- Help! - Like, get us outta here.

I'll get you, you little mutt.

(Velma) 'Scrappy, watch out!'

(Shaggy) 'Coming through. Like, gangway.'

Splat him, Uncle Scooby.

thud

He-he-he-he.

I guess that about wraps this one up, huh, gang?

Yeah. He-he-he-he.

(Sloan) 'I don't understand, how did you know what was going on?'

(Velma) 'We had several clues, Mr. Sloan.'

Because of the crimes, whoever was pretending

to be the Blue Scarab had to have read the unpublished comic.

Then the Blue Scarab is my publisher, Mr. Hardy.

Well, no, you see whoever it was, was also a good artist

as we could tell by the quality of the Scarab

he painted on the wall.

Of course, It's my rival.

Floyd Hotchkiss.

- 'No, it's not him either.' - It's not?

Nope, our last clue was the Scarab's disappearance

in the hallway, he didn't run out past us

'and the only other person in the hall was..'

My assistant, Gruber?

- I don't believe it. - I don't either.

Oh, come on, Uncle Scooby. You knew it all along.

Didn't you, huh, didn't you?

You knew it, sure, you did.

Well.. He-he-he-he.

Sure, sure, ha-ha, you knew it all along.

He just padded his suit and loaded it with gimmicks

that you created in your comic.

- But why? - Why?

If I could destroy the Scarab, it'd be a chance

for me to do my own character.

I'm sick and tired of being

your unknown assistant, Sloan.

I-I had no idea.

I don't know how to thank you kids.

(Scooby) 'I do.'

- You do, Scoob? - Yeah.

We sure do, Shaggy. Show him, unc.

We could do a comic about the Blue Scooby

and is partner and nephew, Scrappy.

Ruff, ruff.

Well, it's an idea.

He's the superest uncle I know.

Scooby Doo!
