[wind howling]

[electrical noise]

[Daphne] Wow, with a steep and windy road like this,

it's a wonder anyone comes up here to ski.

[Fred] I hope we get to town soon. We're almost out of gas.

Not only that, our heater's out and it's 20 below outside.

[Shaggy] And 30 below inside.

[gulps] 30 below?

[Shaggy] Herbie's Hamburger Place, one mile ahead in Winterhaven.

[Daphne] Terrific, a town.

And we're saved from a fate worse than freezing, Scoob.

It's only 5,280 feet to our 50 millionth hamburger.

Fifty millionth hamburger?

[Shaggy] Oh, boy. Like we've hit the hamburger jackpot.

Hamburger jackpot! [chuckles]

[Daphne] "Welcome to Winterhaven". Well, we made it.

Does anyone notice anything strange about this town?

[Daphne] Yeah, the whole town is blacked out.

[Velma] And deserted. It's like a ghost town.

[stammering] Ghost town?

[teeth chattering]

[Fred] The gas station is closed and our gas tank's practically empty.

[Shaggy] Worse yet, Herbie's Hamburger Place is closed too.

And my stomach is absolutely empty.

[echoing]

[Fred] Oh-oh, there went the last drop of gas.

Looks like we'll just have to hike to the next gas station.

Hike? It could be 50 miles before we find one.

Shaggy's right. Guess we'll just have to spend the night here.

We should be able to get help in the morning.

In this tin freezer? [shivers loudly]

Look, there's a light in the ski lodge.

[Shaggy] That's a light?

Cold beggars can't be choosers, Shag.

Right, any old port in the snowstorm.

[Shaggy] See anyone inside, Scoob?

Uh-uh.

Yikes! That cold glass stuck to Scooby's cold nose!

- Huh? - Pull back, Scooby.

[gasps]

[Shaggy] Yikes!

[gasping]

- [gasps] - [Shaggy] Zoinks!

The abominable furman.

Hey, sorry I frightened you kids. Come in out of the cold.

[Fred] Thank you, sir.

- Come in out of the cold, into the colder. - Yeah. Colder.

I'm Mayor Dudley, kids, and I apologize because we have no power for heat or lights.

So we've noticed. What happened, Mayor Dudley?

It's all because of the 10,000-volt Ghost.

- Ten thousand-volt Ghost? - [gulps]

It's a strange story, kids.

You see, this was once a popular ski resort.

Then, one day, we had a violent winter storm.

- [wind howling] - [electrical zapping]

And one of the high tension wires was blown down.

Mr. Collins, he's the owner of the power and light company

was anxious to get the power restored.

In spite of the violent storm, Mr. Collins ordered his chief electrician, Voltner

to repair the downed high tension wire line.

Voltner climbed the power pole alone.

As mayor, I too was anxious to have the power restored

and joined Collins.

Suddenly, there was a violent short circuit,

which overloaded the circuit breakers and blew out all the transformers.

We ran out to see if Voltner was all right.

But he was gone!

Vanished completely.

Oh, wow. Was that the last you ever saw of Mr. Voltner.

Unfortunately, no.

His ghost started showing up, looking for revenge on the town

and the power company.

[Shaggy] You mean the 10,000-volt Ghost, sir?

[Mayor Dudley] In the flesh, or you might say, in the flash.

[electrical zapping]

It didn't take him long to scare everyone away

and turn this little resort into a ghost town.

- That does it, I'm getting out of here. - Me too.

Hold it, you two. We're out of gas, remember?

Oh, boy. Out of gas, out of lights, out of heat, out of food and...

[sighs] We've gotta be out of our minds to stick around here.

And if you're looking for a place to stay, you're welcome to spend the night here, kids.

Thanks, Mayor Dudley. We'd appreciate that.

But I would advise you to leave as soon as possible.

Thanks for the warning, sir, but we're pretty good at solving mysteries.

And maybe we can thaw this one out for you.

Like first thing in the morning, Freddy, right?

Wrong, like right now.

[electrical noise]

[Velma] It looks like somebody opened this gate with a blowtorch.

- Yeah, and here's something else that's awfully strange. - [Scooby-Doo] A clue?

[Fred] This is all new snow. Why should there be an icy trail through it?

- What caused it? - [Velma] And why would it lead right to the power plant?

Come on. But be careful, Shag, it's slippery.

Don't worry about me. They don't call me "ole sure-foot" for nothing.

[gasps]

[howls]

[thud]

Zoinks! We're headed for the door!

[gasps] Do something, Scoob!

Right.

[crash]

Well, the trail stopped at the door

but Shaggy and Scooby didn't.

Wow, it sure is creepy in here.

Just once I'd like to meet a ghost in a nice, friendly place.

Come on. We've gotta start looking for clues.

- What is it, Fred? - Shh. Look.

[Shaggy] Zoinks! The 10,000-volt Ghost.

This looks like a job for Scooby-Doo.

Me? Uh-uh. No way.

You've gotta do it, Scoob. You're the only dog in the group.

What if we give you a Scooby Snack.

[gulps]

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

[Scooby gasping]

[man] Hey! What the...?! Oh! Let go! Stop it!

Yahoo! Like Scooby-Doo'd it!

Atta boy, Scoob! We knew you could do it!

Aw, shucks, it was nothing.

Get this kooky canine off of me!

Oh, boy, he doesn't sound like a ghost.

Who are you, sir?

My name is Collins and I own this plant.

Mr. Collins? [gulps]

Gee, we're sorry, Mr. Collins.

What are you doing here at this time of night, sir?

I was trying to repair that generator.

Every time I get one fixed that ghost short-circuits it again...

Never mind what I was doing here. What are you kids doing here?

We're trying to capture the 10,000-volt Ghost.

Well, I hope you have better luck than I did.

For a man who has a ghost after him, he certainly doesn't act very frightened.

Well, we won't find that ghost by standing around here, shivering.

Let's split up and look for clues. We can cover more frozen ground that way. Shag?

We know, we know. Shaggy, you and Scooby go that way.

And we'll go this way.

And our way always seems to be the scariest.

What is it, Scoob? Are you on to something?

[sniffing] Uh-huh.

Wait, you hit the jackpot, Scoob.

Oh, boy, this must be the employees' kitchen.

- [clattering] - And these must be the employees' hamburgers.

- Oh, boy! Hamburgers! - [hard clattering]

Only trouble is they're frozen stiff as a mackerel.

A couple of hamburgers might just calm our nerves, Scoob.

Now all we've gotta do is find something to cook them on.

We're in luck. I found a battery-powered hot plate.

[stammering]

Stop drooling, Scoob. This may take a few minutes.

[growls]

[howling] It's him! It's him!

[growls]

[snickers]

- [growls] - [Shaggy and Scooby-Doo howl]

There are no clues here. So far, we're batting zero.

Zero? You mean 30 below zero in this deep freeze.

- [door slams] - Shaggy! Scoob!

Did you find any clues?

- [stammering] Did we find any clues? - [banging]

[laughs nervously] Show 'em, Scoob.

[growls]

The 10,000-volt Ghost!

[Fred] Let's get out of here!

Good thing Scooby's not afraid of heights.

Heights?

[gasps]

[howls]

- Now you did it. - [thud]

Nice going, Scoob.

Nice going is right.

He dropped us right onto a clue.

[Fred] They look like sunflower seeds to me.

[chewing] They taste like sunflower seeds.

They are sunflower seeds! These clues are for the birds.

For the birds, got it? [laughs]

Yeah. [laughs]

But that's what makes them mysterious.

You'd only expect to find them in a bird cage.

Or in a pet shop.

I saw one when we drove into town.

A pet shop. Thelma, you, Shaggy and Scooby go check it out.

While you're doing that, Daphne and I will have a look around the mysteriously missing Mr. Voltner's house.

Won't this snow mobile go any faster than this?

Without any gas, what'd you expect?

[panting]

- Hey, wait for me! - [Shaggy] Help!

Do these things have breaks on them?

[Thelma] You're the driver. Don't you know?

[Shaggy] Like no!

[explosion]

[animals all howl]

Quiet!

- [silence] - [squeak]

I believe the seeds we found are identical with the ones we found in the power plant.

Let's see.

- That right. - Thanks, Scooby.

I appreciate your expert diagnosis.

[growling]

Yikes! The ghost! Let's hide!

[growling continues]

[squeaking]

You little monsters, there's enough room for all of us to hide in here.

[Scooby-Doo and Shaggy mimic squeaking]

You hammy hamsters can relax. This was the voice of the ghost.

[growls] Pretty good, eh? Wanna hear John Wayne? [whistles]

- [Shaggy] Like wow. - [thud]

I'll bet this bird knows something about the ghost.

[growls]

[chuckles]

Let's see if we can get him to talk.

That's the craziest idea I ever heard.

[Shaggy] Now hear this, bird, we want the truth,

the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Like do you wanna sing or do you want us to send you up the river?

Oh, yeah? [squawks] I'm a parrot, not a stool pigeon.

Let me see now. You're a parrot, right?

Of course I'm a parrot.

What do I look like? [whistles] A hummingbird?

Where are the sunflower seeds? I"m hungry?

Scooby, will you quite that?

One more question.

All right, you clown, let me try.

Parrot, throw some clues at us.

OK. Rubber suit. Rubber suit.

Rubber suit?

Tunnel. [whistles] Tunnel. [growls]

Rubber suit? Tunnel?

Closet. [squawks]

Closet? OK, what've we got to lose?

Rubber suit. Wow! A scuba diver's wetsuit!

Like that's weird. There's no water within a hundred miles of here.

Pull it out, Scooby. Let's have a better look at it.

- [crash] - [Scooby] Help!

Hey, there's a secret door in the back of the closet.

Rubber suit, tunnel... This door leads to a hidden tunnel!

That parrot's batting a thousand so far.

Zoinks! So is the ghost! We're locked in!

Doesn't look like anyone's been here since Voltner disappeared.

Come on, let's look around.

Found anything yet, Daphne?

I sure have. I found that this place is a mess and so is my hair.

Oh. Hey, Fred, part of a letter was hidden behind this mirror.

Look.

[Fred] "Whereas running south westerley

parcels 27, 28, 43, 44 and 45..."

Hmm. Looks like a clue but we'll have to find out what it really means.

[nervous laughter] We're doomed! Trapped! We can't get out!

Will you stop that? This tunnel's got to lead somewhere.

Yeah, probably to the underside of a graveyard.

[nervous laughter]

Oh, I hate dark, scary, spooky tunnels.

Hello!

[echo] Hello!

Anybody there?

[echo] No!

Come on, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Hey! Like there's a ladder.

Let's start climbing.

Good. Just as I thought. We're back in the power plant.

What's good about that?

It's a clue. Come on, let's find Daphne and Fred and tell them what we found.

[Mayor Dudley] Oh, I'm glad you came here, kids. What did you find?

A bunch of clues, Mayor Dudley:

a diver's wetsuit, some birdseed,

Tunnel! Tunnel!

And a tunnel that goes from the pet shop to the power plant.

Really? What does it all mean?

We don't know yet. But I think that torn letter we found is a key to solving the mystery.

[Mr. Collins] perhaps we'll know tomorrow, mayor.

I'll check this out in the real estate records at the courthouse.

Never mind, Mr. Collins, we'll check it out.

Right now.

Like what are we looking for?

A record book that will explain that torn letter.

This wraps it up, gang, this is the one.

[growling]

- Zoinks! It's the ghost! - He's after the book!

He'll never get it. Catch, Shaggy.

Run, Scoob!

[gasps] He's gaining on us!

[growling continues]

[Shaggy howls]

- [grunts] - [crash]

- Keep running, Scooby! - [crash]

Oh, Fred, glad we ran into you.

We hung onto the book and ditched the electric monster.

Good work, you two. Now we're ready to capture ourselves a ghost.

Like what's the wire for, Fred?

Well, Shag, in school, I learned to make an electromagnet.

It's perfectly harmless. If we can drop this coil of wire over the ghost,

the action of his electrical current on the opposing poles

will turn him into a powerful electromagnet.

- And he'll stick tightly to any large chunk of metal, right? - Right.

And he'll have a real magnetic personality, huh, Fred?

[both laugh]

Now to set the trap, we'll need a pair of skis,

a bobsled, and some snow to make a ski run in here.

I'm all set up here. Are you girls ready to roll?

[Velma] As ready as we'll ever be, considering we're the bait for this trap.

Now all you have to do is get the ghost to chase you under this catwalk.

Then, it's up to me, Shaggy and Scooby to do the rest.

- I hope the ghost shows up. - He'll show up all right,

as long as we have this evidence, let's go!

Here he comes.

And here we go.

Here he comes, Fred!

[growling]

Shaggy, Scooby, you're on!

[Scooby-Doo] Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

- Gotcha! - Take him away, Shag. We'll meet you at the jailhouse.

- We got him, Scooby. - [snickering] Yeah.

Yikes! A runaway ghost ball!

[Scooby-Doo gasping] Faster! Faster!

[Shaggy] Look out! [gasps]

Whoa! We're on the ski jump!

[babbling]

What's going on here?

Would you believe a 10,000-volt Ghost?

That's the 10,000-volt Ghost?

How about ten-volts now, sheriff?

You see, melting that snow, short-circuited the batteries

on his do-it-yourself ghost suit and ran him down.

Let's see who he really is.

It's Voltner!

Why, I declare! It is Voltner!

And he's through doing your dirty work for you, mayor.

[mumbling] What in the world are you talking about, my dear?

I'm talking about this letter which mentions something

running south westerley through parcels 27 through 45.

And I'm talking about this records book

which shows that you bought up parcels 25 through 45, dirt cheap.

Pretty smart, mayor. When you found out a freeway was going through those parcels

you knew that land would be worth a fortune.

So you and Voltner made up that phony disappearing act of his.

Then Voltner used his scuba diver's rubber suit

to insulate himself against electricity.

And with this battery pack, like turned himself into the 10,000-volt Ghost.

Hmm.

Then he used the pet shop as a hideout

and the tunnel to get into the power plant unseen.

And that's how he was able to sabotage the generators

and scare everyone into selling out cheap.

Bird seed! Bird seed!

That's right, Scooby. Too bad those bird seeds stuck to his shoes

and gave the whole plan away.

Too bad indeed!

We would have gotten away with it hadn't been for you meddling kids!

Hang in there, Scooby-Doo!

[everybody laughs]

Well, gang, with the power on again and the pumps working,

I guess we're ready to leave.

- Where's Scooby. - Like he wanted one last ski run down the slopes.

Here he comes now.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

Oh-oh!

Help! [howling]

I know Scooby's a dog, but a hot dogger?

- Help! - [crash]

[chittering]

[snickers]

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
