The Scooby-Doo Show (1976) s01e09 Episode Script
Mamba Wamba and the Voodoo Hoodoo
1224
Jeepers, to think our old pal Ale Super
really made it as a rock star.
And what a doll.
l mean, to invite us as his special guests.
Especially when our concert tickets
would have cost us 10 bucks each.
And now for our next number
an original based on an ancient
voodoo chant, ''Mamba Wamba.''
One, two, three, four.
Two, two, three, four.
Mamba wamba
Oonga mamba oonga wamba
Doing the mamba
Doing the Zamba
Mamba wamba
Oonga mamba oonga Zamba
Mamba, yeah, yeah, yeah
Zamba, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because you have dared to violate
the sacred voodoo chant
you must suffer the curse
of Mamba Wamba.
Help. Help.
-What's happening?
-Let's go backstage and find out.
Hey, gang, it's great seeing
you all again, but not like this.
-What's going on?
-Lila has vanished.
Vanished?
As your manager, l warned you
not to play that number.
Oh, you're right, Roger.
Especially after Lila predicted
something evil would happen.
Just before we went on-stage,
Lila gave me this note.
lt's a note she found
in her dressing room.
''Do not play the sacred chant
or ever return to Maison Dupree
or you shall join the ranks
of the living dead.''
The living dead?
Maison Dupree? What's that?
The name of the old plantation near here
where Lila grew up.
That's where l first heard the voodoo chant
and decided to make a rock tune out of it.
You mean this voodoo business is for real?
l'm afraid so, Ray, and here's proof:
A voodoo doll of Lila.
A voodoo doll?
lt means that the voodoo priest plans
to make Lila a zombie.
-Zombie?
-Zombie?
Come on, we've gotta find Lila, and fast.
But where could she be?
The logical place to start looking
is the plantation.
Maison Dupree, here we come.
Maybe if you played the voodoo chant
Mamba Wamba would appear again.
Sure, then maybe we can make a deal
with him to never play the song again
in echange for Lila's freedom.
-There it is.
-A real southern plantation.
l hope they raise something here
besides the dead.
Like, they do: goose bumps.
lt doesn't look like anybody's
been here for years.
Like, l hope it stays that way.
What a spooky place.
With all these sheets, it looks
like a ghost's laundry room.
Okay, Ale, if you'll set up
your instruments
we'll see if we can
lure Mamba Wamba out of hiding.
Right. Come on, fellas.
-You two can plug in their amplifiers.
-Okay.
Great going, guys. You blew the circuit.
-Try the net room. And be careful.
-Sure, sure, Fred. l'm sorry.
Scooby, come here
and help me move this stuff.
Thanks, Scoob. Like, for once
you didn't drop anything.
-What's the matter, Scoob?
-Look. Look, look.
Zoinks. A zombie.
Hey, what's with you guys?
What's the matter with Scooby?
Like, we just ran into a big, tall and.
-A zombie?
-One of Mamba Wamba's slaves, no doubt.
What will we do now?
These instruments are ruined.
We can't play the chant
to smoke out Mamba Wamba.
-So we better split up and look for clues.
-Right.
Let's get out of here.
We can't, Scoob.
Like, there might be zombies out there.
What's that?
lt's Mamba Wamba.
Beware all who enter the domain
of the living dead.
Here.
l don't want it. You take it.
-What is it?
-Voodoo.
Voodoo drums. We heard them
when Lila disappeared.
Mamba Wamba. Like, he's here.
Look.
A voodoo doll of Roger.
-Could that mean that--?
-Oh, no. He's not gonna get me.
Roger, come back.
We've got to stop him
before it's too late.
He couldn't have just vanished.
-Or could he?
-We've gotta keep looking.
Over here, quick.
Jeepers, that's Roger's hat.
Jinkies, Mamba Wamba
has claimed another victim.
Like, l knew this would happen.
Poor Roger.
Hey, that was Lila.
And it came from inside the house.
Come on.
-Well, she's not around here.
-We'd better find her, and fast.
l just hope we're not too late.
A ritual ceremony
will have to take place
before Lila can be transformed
into a zombie.
Okay, come on. Let's split up
and search for Lila.
And nobody goes alone. Remember.
She's right, Ale. l'll go with you.
Well, there's nothing
like starting at the bottom.
This must be the place.
Oh, you have volunteered
to become my victims.
Let's split.
Trapped.
Maybe not. Maybe l can
fake our way out of here.
Back off, buster.
My hands are dangerous.
Hey, how about that, Ale?
l did it. l faked him out.
Ale?
Oh, no.
Another voodoo doll?
Right, Mamba Wamba got Ale.
Poor Ale. Who'll be net?
Who knows? Let's just hope
Shaggy and Scooby find some clues.
The sooner we find Lila,
the sooner we can get out of here.
Yeah, the sooner the better.
-Are you back there, Scooby?
-Yeah.
-Are you back here, Shaggy?
-No, l'm up here.
You are? Well, somebody is back here.
Sure. Your imagination.
Like, l'll prove it.
See, not a zombie in sight.
lt's locked.
Like, this one is locked too.
Pull, Scoob, pull.
Shaggy, do something.
Maybe we can hide in here.
Dresses. Great.
Okay, Scoob, let him in.
Like, welcome
to Shaggy's Tailor Shop, sir.
Who does your suits, sir?
Go into the dressing room
and try this one on, please.
Like, wow. lt's really you, sir.
Take a look, please.
Oh, boy, l guess he doesn't like it.
Come on, Scoob.
Not a single clue.
Here he comes, and here we go.
l hear old gourd-head's gourd.
He's coming back.
Great. Now's our chance to capture him.
Like, your teeth are loud enough
to wake the dead.
Dead? Don't say that word.
-Here he comes. Get ready.
-l'm ready.
Now.
Sorry, we goofed.
But look, we got Mamba anyway.
-l guess that wraps it.
-You mean unwraps it.
Shag, Scooby.
-Like, who'd you epect, Mamba Wamba?
-Never mind.
-l thought you captured Mamba Wamba.
-We thought so too.
Voodoo drums. Hey, where are
the other musicians, Ray and Deek?
-Look.
-Ray and Deek dolls.
l hope that doesn't mean
what l think it means.
l'm afraid Scooby's right.
They've become zombies.
Listen, gang. We've got to solve
this mystery before we're all zombies.
And the best way
to do that is find Mamba Wamba.
Well, l saw him in the cellar.
Let's check there.
And, like, Scooby and l will guard
the outside in case he gets away.
Good idea, Shag. Let's go, girls.
Have you flipped?
Flipped like a fo, Scoob.
lf El Creepo is inside,
the best place to be is outside, right?
Right.
Okay, girls, look around for any clues.
Look. Mamba Wamba's footprints.
He disappeared right through that wall.
Which means
there's a secret passageway.
Voodoo drums.
We've got to get inside
before it's too late.
That could take forever.
Look, this stone moves.
Hey, maybe it opens a secret door.
Let me try it.
-Fred, Are you all right?
-Yeah.
Guess l don't know my own strength.
lt's the passageway.
Let's go. There's no time to lose.
Follow me and be careful.
Like, where are those drums
coming from, Scoob?
-That way.
-So we'll go this way.
The further we get from those drums
and that creepy mansion
like, the safer l'll feel.
What's that thumping?
lt's Mamba Wamba in that log.
You can come out, now, Scoob.
lt's only a frog.
A frog?
There go those voodoo drums again.
Like, we gotta get moving.
-Look.
-That's all we need is a hitchhiking frog.
We're going the wrong way.
Oh, well. At least we landed
on a safe, soft spot.
lt's Mamba Wamba and Lila.
And she's a zombie.
And there's the rest of the guys.
Like, what are we gonna do?
Have a Scooby Snack.
Good thinking, Scoob.
That might calm us down.
Here, one for you and one for me.
Now you shall become my zombie slaves,
like your friend, Lila.
Master.
There is only one way
to escape your fate.
Sign this parchment promising
never to play the sacred chant again.
And if we refuse?
Do as he says, l beg you.
l refused to sign.
Now l am a zombie.
-All right.
-Sign in blood.
Okay. Okay.
-Let's go tell Fred what's going on.
-Okay.
What was that?
Now we're in for it.
We gotta do something, like, quick, Scoob.
See who is in there.
Rela, cool it.
Nobody in here but us witch doctors.
We shall see.
Come forward for the ceremony.
lt is time for the witch doctors
to walk the bed of hot coals.
Hot coals?
We'd love to do that, Mamba,
but we just had our feet shined.
-And you see--
-You refuse the sacred ritual?
No, no. We don't like it, but we'll do it.
But first, we gotta put
on our coal-walking shoes.
You should buy a pair, doc.
Real comfortable.
Okay, let's do it, Scoob.
Oh, boy, they sure don't make
coal-walking shoes the way they used to.
We'll see you later.
We gotta make a house call.
Stop. You are impostors.
Somebody do something.
The parchment. We must get it back.
Oh, boy. l hate to say it, Scoob,
but if we get that parchment
we can wrap up this mystery
and get out of here. Let's go.
-Where is he?
-ln there. Get him.
Now, follow me and stay out of sight.
Here, froggy, froggy.
Find them.
Look, master, the parchment.
Where? Zoinks.
After the parchment, you fools.
Get that parchment.
Over there, Scooby. ln the hut.
-Ecuse me.
-Grab him.
What do you know? l found the frog.
Nice going, guys.
Now we can get out of here.
Don't let them escape.
Every chicken for himself.
Oh, no, he's hiding in my shirt.
Gotta get you out of there,
you little rascal.
You can't hide from me. l'll find you.
Look out, Shaggy.
Who turned out the lights?
Where is everybody?
Everything's gone dark.
Ecuse me, guys.
Wait for me. Hey.
Bingo. Mamba Wamba and the zombie.
What's going on?
They're trying to catch
Shaggy and Scooby.
Quick, everybody, over here.
They will never escape.
We ditched them.
Now all we've got to do is rescue Lila.
And what about this paper? Like, they
sure seemed anious to get it, Fred.
-No wonder.
-What is it?
Probably the most important clue
to this whole mystery.
And just the bait we need
to catch Mamba Wamba.
Okay, Velma. This part's done.
-How about the mirror, Shag?
-Mirror's ready, Freddie.
Daphne, you know what you're to do?
Sure. When Mamba Wamba
and the zombie
see Scooby and Shaggy in the mirror,
l pull the mirror up by the pulley.
Right, and Mamba and his gang hit
the trampoline and bounce into the net.
Like, hold it, hold it. What's all this about
zombies chasing me and Scoob?
-You're the bait.
-Bait?
Bait?
lt's the only way.
When Mamba Wamba comes
out of the secret passageway
it'll be you two he's looking for.
Did you have to remind us?
-Hey, they're coming.
-Everybody get ready.
Make sure they see
this parchment, Shag.
Like, net time, l'm gonna think up the trap
and you can be the bait.
Well, well, we sure outsmarted that old
Mamba Wamba and his gang, huh, Scoob?
We still got the parchment.
There they are. Now we've got them.
Here they come, Scoob.
Now, like, let's head for the trap.
Yoo-hoo, here we are, Mamba.
Okay, you two can look now.
We've caught them.
What is this, a masquerade party?
Something like that, sheriff,
but now it's time for the unmasking.
-Roger.
-Oh, wow.
Then this whole voodoo business
was a fake.
That's right.
And Lila was in on the whole scheme.
Ale, when you and the group cut
the demo record of ''Mamba Wamba''
everyone realized it would
be a big hit worth millions.
That's when Lila and Roger
came up with the voodoo scheme
to scare the group into signing away
all the rights to the money.
What you signed for Mamba Wamba
was actually a legal release form
with this fake parchment
glued above your signatures.
lt's too bad they didn't play it straight.
They could have made a bundle
manufacturing dolls.
Ale may have learned
the ''Mamba Wamba'' song here
but Ray and l learned
how to cook crawdad gumbo.
lt looks scrumptious.
Boy, oh, boy.
Like, l'm ready to gum some gumbo.
Me too.
Hey, that greedy little guy gobbled
up every drop of our crawdad gumbo.
Well, we still got fiings for frog gumbo.
-Come back.
-Yeah.
-l was only kidding.
-We prefer pizza anyhow.
Pizza?
