Today is a very

Politics? That's adult stuff.

You know, kids my age are into

No, they're not, son.

I do for this community

I know a place he can put

Fine. What do you want me to do?

What about Fred?

You're just friends, right?

Well, yeah but we're

It feels like cheating..

Darling, think of it like

Why have ground beef when you

But I don't even like meat.

I like vegetables.

Like Fred.

All we're asking you to do,

George Avocados,

Oh. Um, well, uh..

Please, contain your excitement,

okay? I'll see you there.

This Rung guy really

Of course.

I assure you there will be

no shortage of doorknobs

when George Avocados is mayor.

Missing doorknobs

mean angry voters.

[George laughing]

That Avocados guy

gives me the creeps.

Creeps? Creeps?

Where are the creeps?

Calm down, Scooby-Doo. It's

just, like, a figure of speech.

I don't know.

Maybe Scooby's onto something.

After all,

it's Avocados who benefits

from the missing doorknobs.

Good point.

- Maybe it's time - we set a little trap

for Crystal Cove's

knob stealer.

[instrumental music]

(Velma)

the fun setting up these traps.'

'Too bad Daphne had to miss all

Yeah. But I'll bet she's having

a great time on her date.

tring tring tring

- Hello? - 'We got some news, baby.'

- The tires that made the treads - on the highway

were only sold to two people

in Crystal Cove.

G. Nurno Treddal

and George Avocados.

I knew it!

Anyone with hair that perfect

has to be guilty of something.

So, if George Avocados

is the ghost trucker

that means the ghost trucker

- and the knob stealer - are related.

Like, they're cousins?

Like, they're the same person.

Whoa! Screaming pandas!

- What is the meaning of this? - Dad.

We think George Avocados

is the ghost trucker

and he's trying to sabotage

your re-election.

That's completely absurd.

Why would a ghost drive a truck

- when everyone knows - they can fly?

Especially an 18-wheeler.

Those require a class 6 license.

But dad...

- I don't wanna hear any more - nonsense, Fred.

Clearly, you and your friends

have let your imaginations

get the best of you.

There goes Avocados now.

Wait! What about me?

I'm starved. Mmm. Mmm.

You gonna order anything?

Daphne, you're never gonna

believe what happened.

Wow, cool ascot.

What's your neck size?

- I'm a 16 and a half, - but sometimes

it swells out

to a 19 when it's humid.

Uh, that's great.

Uh, Daphne, shouldn't we

be getting back to dinner?

Sorry, Rung, but something

more important has come up.

[grunts]

Fine.

Uh, oops. Yeah.

Forgot my wallet. Daphne?

- By the way, - I'm a big fan of your product.

A sturdy ladder

is hard to find these days.

Oh. Well, thanks.

I agree.

And FYI, my neck's

a 16 and a half too.

And yeah, sometimes it swells.

Really? Here. Hold on.

There. Hey, that looks

pretty good on you.

You are so right.

Here. Take mine.

But Fred told me he never takes

off his lucky ascot.

[gulping]

Yikes. What's this?

Like, far out.

It's, like, some kind

of freaky letter, man.

- (Velma) - 'I have a feeling

I know who it's from.'

And it's not the warm and fuzzy

kind of feeling.

(man on tape)

Greetings, everyone.'

'Heh heh heh!

'This is Mr. E.'

- Mr. E? - Huh?

- Like the last time - we heard from this dude

he told us we were doomed.

(Mr. E on tape)

to solve the mystery.'

'If you want

'You need to follow the fog.'

'Remember, crystal can't

open doors like a diamond.'

'Talk soon.'

That either means

absolutely nothing

or it's a clue.

But how do we even know

we can trust Mr. E?

For all we know,

he could be the ghost trucker.

Don't worry, Daph. I wouldn't

let anything happen to you.

- You wouldn't, Fred?

- Of course not.

I wouldn't let anything happen

to any of my pals.

You're all the same

in my eyes.

Whether we can trust Mr. E

or not, a lead's a lead.

And we need to follow it.

There must be a way

Belonging to a guy

named Theodore Avocados.

Theodore Avocados?

That's George's dad.

was never found.'

Well, according to this,

he really was the thief.

some demonic force

is tearing apart city hall.

Tell me it's true.

It's even better, dad.

We caught the ghost trucker.

- And he's none other than...

- Let me out of here.

Aah! Uh!

Uh.

- (all) - Rung Ladderton?

Ooh, ahh, shock.

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

- And I would have gotten away - with it if it weren't

for you meddling... peers.

Of course.

It all makes sense.

- Rung was using the ghost truck - to smuggle doorknobs

- out of Crystal Cove, - so he could find

Theodore Avocados'

missing diamond.

Avocados disguised

the diamond as a doorknob.

(Fred)

it was never found.

That's why

(Rung)

my little ascot-wearing friend

You are correct,

but that idiot Avocados

didn't say in his journal

- which crystal knob - was really the diamond.

So I had to steal 'em all.

And what better way

than with a ghost truck

to smuggle them

all out of town?

- (Velma) - 'We should have known.'

The other guy who bought

the tires was G. Nurno Treddal

a name far too ridiculous

to be real

because it's Rung Ladderton

spelled backwards!

But Rung, you're rich.

You've got everything.

Ladders, ascots.

Why did you need a diamond?

I inherited a ladder company.

- We make the one product - in the world

that no one ever replaces.

Ladders don't wear out like TVs

or personal trainers over 40.

No, no. They're built to last,

which means no sales.

The company's broke.

I don't think you'll be

needing this anymore.

- Thanks, Daph. - No worries.

I'm always here for you, Fred.

Seriously, right here.

I gotta hand it to you, Fred.

- Your traps actually came in - handy this time.

Gee, dad, does this mean

you finally accept

what I wanna do with my life?

Heh heh heh! Oh, Fred. No.

[instrumental music]

And so, despite the fact that

the ghost trucker was caught

depriving Crystal Cove

of a well-needed

automotive tourist attraction.

[crowd booing]

My son, the future mayor

of Crystal Cove

- and his friends have returned - the missing diamond

stolen by Theodore Avocados

more than making up for

the lost revenue stream.

Because of this,

as still acting mayor

I hereby create the honorary
