The Harum-Scarum Sanitarium

1
Are you sure this is the road
to the U.S. border, Fred?
No, l'm not. l think we're lost.
Lost?
On a creepy night like this
in the middle of nowhere?
Relax, you two.
There's nothing to worry about.
We'll find the main road soon.
Hey. Look up ahead.
lt's a roadblock.
Jeepers. What's going on?
Hold it right there.
Stay in your vehicle.
Like, who are you?
l'm Officer Oldfield
of the Royal Canadian border patrol.
What are you doing on this road?
We're, like, tourists,
aren't we, Scoob?
Tourists. See?
This side road is a favorite of lawbreakers
trying to sneak across the border.
Our only crime is that we're lost.
You kids can proceed
but be sure to take
the left fork ahead.
Foster Road, it'll take you
to the main highway.
Okay, officer, and thanks.
Remember, don't take the right fork.
There have been lots of weird things
happening on that road.
-Weird things?
-Like the ghost of Dr. Coffin
who went mad,
coming back to haunt the whole area.
Ghost?
Ghosts are bad enough,
but mad ghosts are the worst.
Yeah.
Thanks for the warning.
Keep an eye out for that sign, gang.
Right.
There it is, ''Foster Road.''
We've been driving for an hour.
l hate to say it,
but l think we're lost again.
l hope we didn't take that road
he warned us about.
Yeah.
Hey, an ambulance.
Let's follow him.
He must know his way around here.
Good idea.
Looks like we followed him
right into a driveway.
And this place is
some kind of sanitarium.
lt sure looks creepy.
Maybe we could stay here for the night.
Look at those ambulance men.
What are they doing?
They're bringing in a new patient.
ln this weather?
And this time of night?
What's the matter, Scoob?
-A ghost.
-A ghost?
l don't see anything.
A doctor?
A mad doctor?
A mad doctor.
The ghost they warned us about.
Will you two rela?
Come on, everybody,
the rain's letting up.
Let's go inside.
-Like, what's that?
-Just somebody playing the organ.
Well, he sure ain't Stevie Wonder.
Look out.
Guard dogs.
And they're after us.
Hey. Watch it. Take it easy.
Careful, Scooby. Watch those jaws.
How do you like that?
They just wandered off
like friendly little puppies.
Puppies.
Come on, you two. lt's safe now.
Yes?
Ecuse me, sir,
but we got lost in the storm and--
l'm Dr. Tewksbury.
Come in, come in.
-Look.
-Oh, yes.
Cuddles and Snookums.
Cuddles and Snookums?
They were pets
of the late Dr. Coffin
who was the original owner
of the sanitarium.
l was his assistant.
l thought those snarling hounds
were gonna eat us alive.
Yeah, and then they just
wandered off like puppies.
l can eplain that.
Dr. Coffin was using them
in his brain-wave eperiments.
He could control them
by playing
various kinds of music on the organ.
Say
we heard an organ
just before those dogs jumped us.
Yes.
l'm very much afraid
that what you heard
was the ghost of Dr. Coffin.
Ghost? l knew it.
That's the ghost
the trooper warned us about.
That does it.
Nice to meet you, Dr. Gooseberry.
-And, like, goodbye.
-Goodbye.
Just a moment.
Won't you stay for dinner?
-Dinner?
-Dinner?
-Thanks.
-We'll be glad to.
We'd better join those two
before there's nothing left but toothpicks.
Would you pass everything, please?
What are you doing, Scoob?
Making shish kebab.
Forgive my curiosity, doctor
but how come we haven't seen
any patients around this place?
l don't understand it myself.
They keep bringing me patients,
but they vanish.
Most of them were scared off
by the ghost of Dr. Coffin.
At first l paid no attention
to the ghost stories
but then several of my patients
suddenly disappeared.
Disappeared?
lt's said he's returned from the grave
to finish his brain-wave eperiments,
and to do that
he needs people to eperiment on.
Maybe he'll want us.
Not me, because, like, l won't be here.
No, no, my boy.
lt's much too stormy out to travel.
Do be my guests and stay for the night.
Of course we'll stay. And thank you.
l'll sleep here.
Shaggy, you take that bunk
and Scooby,
you can sleep by the window.
Okay.
Dr. Coffin's ghost.
He's gone.
l just wish that mad doctor
wouldn't make house calls.
Come on down, Scooby.
lt's safe now.
Look. That moose head opened
a secret passageway.
Let's see where it goes.
You go. We'll, like,
stay here and guard the girls.
-Yeah.
-Quit stalling and start moving.
Come on, you two.
Ghost.
-A ghost.
-Take it easy, Shag. That's no ghost.
lt's just a huge mirror.
Scooby, this is no time to clown around.
We've got to find a light switch.
Here's a switch.
Look at that. You just opened the roof.
Yeah. Like, that's really weird.
And look, there's the moon.
Like, what's happening?
What's going on here?
That huge mirror concentrated
the moonlight
and made a beam hot enough
to sizzle Scooby's fur.
Yeah.
But who'd be crazy enough
to build a room for hot moonbeams?
-The doctor's ghost?
-Like, sorry l asked.
Now l get it.
This isn't for moonbeams,
it's for sunbeams.
And this is a solar furnace.
What's a solar furnace?
lt's used to create high temperatures
by concentrating rays of sunshine.
But, like, what's one of those things
doing in a creepy sanitarium?
l don't know. Yet.
The mad doctor.
Like, clear the track.
Daphne, get up.
-Come here.
-What's happening?
They're loading people
into that ambulance.
At this time of night?
Yes. But those patients
don't look alive anymore.
You mean they're--
Velma. Daphne. Open up.
What's the matter?
-Like, the mad doctor is running loose.
-Yeah.
And we found a secret passageway
to a weird room.
That's not all that's weird.
Take a look at that ambulance.
-Where could they be going?
-By the looks of those patients, l'd say
the cemetery.
-Cemetery?
-Cemetery?
We'd better follow them.
What's that funny rumbling sound?
lt must be Niagara Falls.
We're pretty close.
Look.
lt says, ''Warning, bridge out ahead.''
We'd better turn back.
-Turn back.
-Not a chance.
lf the ambulance can make it,
we can make it.
Fred, look out.
Like, we almost went over the side.
But where's the ambulance?
lt just disappeared.
Shaggy, look.
The mad doctor.
Now he's gone.
Vanishing doctors, vanishing ambulances.
This is really getting mysterious.
Let's get back to the sanitarium.
Maybe we can solve this mystery
in the morning.
He's gone.
Hey, what's the matter?
The ghost. The ghost got Scooby.
Come on, let's get the girls.
Scooby's disappeared.
And listen. There's more of that
weird music coming from downstairs.
We'd better find out what's going on.
Do you see what l see?
lt's Scooby and that mad doctor.
Scooby acts like he's under a spell.
He is. lt's that weird music.
Scooby. Like, wake up.
Wake up, Scoob, and run for it.
The dogs are coming after us.
Like, head for the hills.
We're safe, Scoob.
A-- A monster.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo.
Oh, Scoob, you know you scared
the life out of me?
Quick. We'll hide in here.
We ditched them.
Oh, ecuse me, madam.
Why, it's Scooby.
And Shaggy.
-And a pile of wigs.
-Wigs?
What use could a sanitarium have
for all those wigs?
Maybe they belong
to the mad doctor's ghost.
Like, he sure has flipped his wig.
l've got a feeling this will all fit together
sooner or later.
Come on,
let's split up and look for more clues.
Like, this must've been
the old doctor's lab when he was
alive.
Look, Scoob.
He must have used that
for his eperiments with music.
And l'll bet l know
just how he did it, Scoob.
-Have a seat.
-Okay.
Like, the patients sat right here
and the doctor would start
the old phonograph and--
Like, he wants to use us.
Take off, Scoob.
Shaggy, l'll save you.
Say, ''Ah.''
You ought to see a doctor.
Run, Scooby.
Good work, Scoob. You got him.
Let's check in here.
Oh, no. lt's a morgue.
All those patients that disappeared
they're dead.
lt's not what you think, Daphne.
Look. Stacks of gold bullion.
With a wig to make us think
it was a person.
Well, that eplains
all those wigs we found.
And this gold ties in with that cauldron
we found in that weird solar-furnace room.
-Are you thinking what l'm thinking?
-You bet l am, Velma.
This whole mystery
is starting to make sense.
Somebody's coming.
We'll hide back there. Come on.
-A morgue.
-A-- A morgue?
Hurry. We must deliver another body.
Quiet, Scoob.
Like, they're coming in here.
These will do.
Creepers,
they're taking Shaggy and Scooby.
Come on, after them.
Where are we going?
Like, l don't know. Keep out of sight.
They're headed down the same road
toward the falls.
This time we'll follow so closely
they can't disappear.
What if they spot us?
That's a chance we'll have to take
if we ever want to see
Shaggy and Scooby again.
Don't worry.
They won't spot us with our headlights out.
Jeepers. So that's where they went.
And that's where we're going.
That was close.
lt's a secret road through the mountain.
And it sounds like it passes
right behind the falls
from the Canadian side
to the United States.
lt's certainly all adding up.
Scooby.
Go see who's up front.
Mad doctor?
Yeah.
We'll stop here and sneak up on them.
There's the ambulance,
and they're unloading Shaggy and Scooby.
Jeepers. Look at that.
Stacks and stacks of gold bullion.
And what looks like
a bread-wrapping machine
is used to disguise the gold.
Come on. Somehow we've got to
rescue Shaggy and Scooby.
Who's this? A dog.
Ecuse me.
Catch him. Don't let him get away.
They found Scooby.
What's happening?
Look out.
Like, help.
After them.
That mad doctor's ghost
and those ambulance guys are after us.
And they're getting closer, Scoob.
We're goners.
We're stopping.
We're gonna crash.
Back, you fools. Back.
Here they come.
Now we'll find out
who the mad doctor really is.
Well, there's only one person it could be:
Dr. Tewksbury.
Officer Oldfield.
The man posing as Officer Oldfield
is actually the ringleader
of a multi-million-dollar gold robbery
that occurred in Montreal
a month ago.
And, like, he played ghost
and used those dogs
to scare people away
from the sanitarium.
To get the gold as far as the border
the smugglers cast it into human-shaped
figures wearing those wigs we found.
Then they shipped the figures
by ambulance
so the authorities would think they were
patients and let the ambulance go through.
Very clever.
Then they brought
the gold figures to the sanitarium
and melted them down into gold bars
with that solar furnace you found.
And finally, they'd bring the gold bars
to the cave
disguise them in bread wrappers
and take them across the border
into the U.S.A.
But what about Dr. Gooseberry?
Tewksbury.
He had nothing to do with it.
Quiet down there.
A man's trying to get some sleep.
Like, how do you like that?
He slept through the whole thing.
One thing this mystery taught us
like, Scooby's a real Fred Astaire.
Scooby, you're a marvelous dancer.
And, like, Scoob's a great runner too.
