[theme music]

(Velma) 'Jeepers, how exciting!'

'The Atlantic City Boardwalk.'

Just the place for opening a new hotel

'and a magic show.'

[drum roll]

[audience gasps]

[tiger roars]

[audience clapping]

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Now for my next illusion.

The lovely Loraine will choose two volunteers

from the audience.

Hear that, Scoob?

Like, nobody's gonna get us to volunteer for any magic.

Volunteer for magic? Uh-huh.

(Scrappy) 'Did you say volunteer, Uncle Scoob?'

Oh, boy. I'll get her over here for you right now.

[bell ringing]

bang

A Scooby scout is always prepared.

Like, he is your nephew, Scoob, but I'll get him for this.

Me too.

- Uh? - Oh, boy.

Here she comes now.

Here they are, our two volunteers.

- Yay! - Hurray!

[whistling]

If you'll just follow me.

You can thank me later, Uncle Scoob.

Now we need a object of great value

like the famous Black Pearl of Tonga Lei

which has been on display in the hotel lobby.

And now to make the black pearl disappear.

(Scooby) Disappear?

Relax, Scoob. It's only a trick.

Oh, sure. He-he-he.

Like, I hope.

Not even Morgan can open that box

without both these keys.

And now, for my most dazzling illusion.

[all gasp]

No, Morgan. It's my illusion. The one you stole from me.

It's the ghost of my old teacher.

'The Great Haldane.'

[Shaggy yells]

clang

From this time on, all your attempted magic will be cursed.

Beginning with the black pearl.

No magical ghost can play tricks on me

and my Uncle Scooby.

Ta-da da-da ta-da-a! Puppy power!

Huh? Where did he go?

[Haldane laughing]

- Help! - 'Oh, no!'

[audience screaming]

(Scrappy) 'That ghost has got to be around here somewhere.'

Well, he's not under here.

What could the ghost of the Great Haldane do to me?

(Loraine) Well, for starters, it could scare away all our audience.

(Fred) Your assistant's right.

(Velma) It looks like the show is over, for tonight anyway.

(Morgan) Then I guess we'd better return the black pearl

to the security guard. May I have the keys, please?

Like, you bet. We wouldn't wanna come between you

and that ghost.

(Scrappy) 'Oh, yes, we would.'

I'll bet he's hiding inside that box.

Come on out, you fraidy ghost.

(Morgan) 'Oh, no. The pearl, it's gone!'

Of course, it is. That's part of the trick, isn't it?

Not this time. This false bottom was supposed

'to hide the pearl.'

'My magic tricks are merely illusions.'

Oh, yeah? We'll see about that.

Hey, he's right.

There's nothin' inside this box except little pieces of wood.

Not quite, Scrappy. Look at this grey powder.

(Morgan) 'It's just ordinary dust.'

Hmm.

I've got to report this to the hotel manager.

He's not gonna like the idea of a ghost stealing

the black pearl.

All this talk about ghosts is making me nervous.

- I'm going back to my room. - Like, great idea.

Why don't we all do that before Fred says..

We'd like to stay and look around a while.

Too late. Well, Scooby, we tried.

[Scooby whimpering]

I hope you find something. If word of this gets out

my career will be ruined.

(Velma) We'll go backstage and look for clues

'to that disappearing pearl.'

(Shaggy) And we'll check out the boardwalk

for some disappearing food.

[Scooby slurps] Yeah, right.

Good thinking. Even ghost have to eat sometime.

Look, Scoob. A saltwater taffy booth.

Taffy? Yum-yum-yum-yum.

But where's the ghost?

Oh, let's concentrate on more important things.

Like this bag of taffy. Nothing up my sleeve.

snip

And faster than you can say..

- Huh? - Yum.

Gee, thanks, Uncle Scoob.

Uh-oh

(Scooby) 'Help!'

Hey, Scoob, wait for us!

bang

You, you..

Nice going, Uncle Scooby. You found the ghost.

I did?

But I warn you, my magic is powerful.

Meddle in my affairs and you will disappear like the pearl.

[laughing]

Come on, Uncle Scooby.

'That ghost isn't gonna get away from us!'

- He's not? - Yaa-ow!

There he is. We got him this time.

Like, why does he always have to say "we"?

Come on out, ghost. We're on to your tricks.

I'll put an end to your meddling.

- Shaggy, look. - Look at what, Scoob?

(Fred) 'Hey, what's going on in here?'

G-g-ghost.

That's not a ghost.

It's just a piece of cloth. I'll show you.

[Scooby whimpering]

See? There's no ghost here.

No, but there is over there.

Ta-da da-da ta-da-a! Puppy power!

bang

I got him, Uncle Scoob. I got that mean old ghost.

(Shaggy) 'Like, I don't think so, Scrappy.'

No? He sure looks like a mean old..

Magician, you little trouble maker.

Conrad the Conjurer at your service. My card.

Are you gonna put me down peacefully?

Or do I have to get tough with you?

Your wish is my command.

That's more like it.

(Velma) The show is over, Mr. Conrad. What are you doing here now?

- That's what I'd like to know. - And so would I.

Conrad has another magic show down the boardwalk.

And we've been cutting into his business.

Ah! Your show may be flashier, but my magic's better.

We can discuss that outside, away from my special equipment.

Trade secrets have a way of ending up in your pockets.

We better get back to looking for clues.

Shaggy, you and Scooby check the dressing room.

Right, Velma, we're on our way.

(Scooby) Huh?

Sure, when was the last time you heard of a ghost

who changed his clothes?

Oh, yeah. He-he-he.

I don't get it.

Looks like we're safe here, Scoob.

Nothing in here, but Morgan's magic wand.

poof

[Scooby yells]

crash

- Hey, look, I'm a magician. - Right, Shaggy. He-he-he.

No, you're not.

Look, the top turns over

to make the fish bowl disappear.

It's just a trick.

Gee, thanks for telling me. Like, I feel better already.

[instrumental music]

[bird chirping]

Well, magic or not, I'll say one thing for this room

at least it doesn't have any ghosts, huh?

Right, Shaggy, no..

[growling]

[whizzing]

Oh, boy, Uncle Scoob. We got that ghost this time.

Now you'll pay for your meddling.

[Shaggy gulps] Oops.

Oh, you..

[giggling]

Have a nice day.

[sneezing]

I'll get you this time.

There he goes, Uncle Scoob. Let's..

Looks, like the ghost is clear. Get it?

The "ghost" is clear, huh?

[laughs]

Maybe he's hiding in here.

Aw!

[instrumental music]

[growling]

Yikes!

Hey, where are we going, guys?

We got a ghost to splat!

It's an old family motto, Scrappy.

Like, he who turns and runs away..

'...lives to splat another day.'

(Fred) Well, here it is. Morgan's dressing room.

I thought Shaggy and the dogs were in here.

From the looks of things, they were.

(Daphne) 'Wow, what a mess.'

Looks like the only thing they didn't touch

was Morgan's gold pendant.

Let me take a look at that.

clang

(Daphne) 'Jeepers, it's musical!'

Hmm.

[instrumental music]

[Scooby panting]

Okay, Scoob. I think we're safe out here.

Wow, oh, wow!

Stand back everybody.

I'm gonna splat those monsters good.

Ho-ho

Ruff and double ruff! I got 'em all.

Right, Scrappy. All, but that one.

I've got you now.

[laughing]

I'll teach you to interfere with the Great Haldane.

Oh, yeah?

Well, me and my Uncle Scooby will teach you a few things.

Like, maybe later, Scrappy.

Whoa-a-oh-oh!

Much later.

screech screech screech

Oh-oh-oh-oh-h..

Like, man the lifeboats. Women and cowards first.

(Shaggy) Phew. That glowing ghost will never find us in the dark.

- Right, guys? - You said it, Shaggy. He-he-he.

(Scooby) Right, Shaggy. Shaggy? Uh-oh.

Zoinks!

You, you..

Nice work, Uncle Scoob.

We got that old ghost surrounded.

Scrappy? Scrappy!

Alright, ghost. Prepare to splat!

Oh, just the place. Sorry, sir, you'll have to step aside.

Huh?

Now, if you'll just hold this, sir. Little higher, please.

That's it. Ready, Scoob.

Oh, you..

Hold it, everybody. Smile!

[camera shutter clicking]

[groaning]

Like, I guess we left that old ghost behind us this time.

Then how did he get ahead of us again?

- Ta-da da-da ta-da-a! - Uh-oh.

Puppy Power!

(both) Whoa!

crash

Help! Like, get me out of this thing.

Me too.

That magical mystery ghost must be responsible for this.

Don't worry, Uncle Scoob.

I'll put you back together again.

(Daphne) Jeepers, what's going on in here?

(Fred) It's Scrappy, Scooby and Shaggy.

(Velma) Or Scrappy, Shaggy and Scooby.

Why, thanks, Velma. We needed that.

You said it.

Me and Uncle Scoob are hot on the trail of that ghost.

- Right, Uncle Scoob? - Right. Right. He-he-he.

If that ghost is in here, we better split up

and search high and low for it.

Then we'll search high for a change.

'Like maybe that lighting booth?'

It looks like a good place to keep us out of trouble anyway.

Hey, look at that view.

'You could see everything from up here.'

- Zoinks! - Zoinks!

(Scrappy) 'Well, maybe not everything.'

I still can't see that pearl-stealing ghost.

- Like who's complaining? - Not me. He-he-he.

Well, Scoob, as long as we're here

we might as well look over this lighting equipment.

Uh-uh.

click

[instrumental music]

Shaggy, look. The ghost!

click

I don't see any ghost, Scoob. It must be your imagination.

Huh?

click

'Yikes!'

It's my imagination?

[sobbing]

- What is it this time, Scoob? - Well, nothing.

Wow, oh, wow, Uncle Scoob!

Oh, boy! You're pretty brave to call a ghost nothing.

- Ghost? - We got him this time for sure.

Ta-da da-da ta-da-a!

crash

Jinkies, it's Haldane's ghost!

Now maybe we can find out what's going on around here.

Puppy power!

Hey, come back here!

How can Haldane's ghost just disappear like that?

(Velma) 'Hmm.'

(Scrappy) I got you now!

Scrappy Doo always gets his ghost.

(Velma) 'Sorry to disappoint you, Scrappy'

but you've caught Morgan's assistant.

The lovely Loraine is the ghost?

Shame on you.

I'm not the ghost, you cute little pup.

Cute little pup! Yuck!

I just came back to figure out

how Morgan does the disappearing tiger trick.

(Morgan) 'Conrad the Conjurer was bad enough'

but now even my own assistant is spying on me.

I'm afraid I'll have to ask you all to leave.

Did someone say leave? Like, now you're talkin'.

Scoob and I can be packed and ready to go

before you can say Abracadabra.

He-he-he.

You see what I mean? So, let's go.

We'll just have to look for clues on the boardwalk.

(Daphne) Jeepers, now we'll never get to the bottom of this mystery.

(Velma) Hmm. Maybe we will after all.

This is all beginning to make sense now.

(Scooby) It is?

I think we can put an end to Haldane's ghost with my plan

and the help of this glass blower.

- Like, what about us? - I'll need your help too.

Oh, boy, I had to ask.

It looks like the black pearl is back on display.

I'll bet that's a surprise to Haldane's ghost.

Now, you two know what to do.

Right, when the ghost steps on that X

we lower the cage over him and run like cowards.

- Right, Shaggy. - Well, half right anyway.

Shh.

How could those meddling kids find the pearl?

'It's still here.'

But how?

(Velma) That's what we wanted to ask you.

Now you will pay for your interference.

Ta-da da-da ta-da-a! Puppy power!

We got you now, you pearl-napping ghost you. Hey!

You're wrong my little friend, it is I who have you.

Now to reclaim the black pearl

and disappear for the last time.

(Shaggy) Get that ball.

- Hey-hey-hey. - Huh?

Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey..

screech

[whistling]

Alright, jump ball.

[whistling]

I got it. I got it.

thud

[chain clanging]

Thank you.

Well, it looks like we've locked up this case.

Thanks to my Uncle Scooby. He-he-he.

Aw, shucks.

Nice work, kids.

But where did you find another black pearl?

The same place Haldane's ghost did.

On the boardwalk at the glassblower's booth.

Our clue was the gray powder in the bottom of the box.

Right. It wasn't dust at all, but tiny fragments of glass.

Glass?

We realized that the real pearl had been replaced

by a glass copy.

And only one person could have made the switch.

- Morgan the Magician. - Uh?

But, like, Morgan was on stage when the ghost appeared.

That had us fooled too.

Until we saw you in the lighting booth

and realized that that ghost was just a projection.

Then how did the pearl get out of the box?

It didn't.

This is getting really confusing.

clang

This is what happened to the glass pearl in the box.

whir whir whir

[shattering]

Morgan hid the real pearl in his robe

until after the show.

He figured no one would suspect him if everybody in the audience

thought it was Haldane's ghost.

And I would've gotten away with it

if it wasn't for you meddling kids.

- Alright, come on, you. - 'Ruff and double ruff!'

That was a pretty neat trick.

Like, it sure works on glass, but what about something solid?

clang

Yeah. He-he-he.

Does that answer your question?

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

And Scrappy-Dappy-Doo too!

He-he-he.
