The Scooby-Doo Show (1976) s01e10 Episode Script
A Frightened Hound Meets Demons Underground
1
More to the left, Joe.
A little more.
lt's the demon.
Hurry, man. Catch this beam.
Wow, look at that.
''And then it disappeared
without a trace
leaving behind only the mark of his hand
burned into the construction beam.''
l wonder if his fingerprints
are on file with the fire department.
Yeah.
The article says this is the fifth sighting
here in Seattle this week.
And they hide in underground Seattle?
Right. When the old city
burned down around 1890
they built new Seattle on top of it.
Yum, yum.
lt looks like seafood
doesn't agree with Scooby.
Like, from now on, Scooby,
you'd better stick to catfish.
l think we ought to investigate
those underground demons.
Demons?
You're right, Velma, and we can get started
as soon as we finish lunch.
Like, everybody eat slow, please.
Mr. Crenshaw, the paper said
you were the first to sight these creatures.
That's right.
And now they've broken
into my offices and taken everything
including the company funds.
But what would demons want
with money?
That's just it.
l think they were actually after this.
What's that?
An ancient talisman that can be used
to drive demons back underground.
Like, wow.
How much can you tell us
about these demons, Mr. Crenshaw?
Well, the legend says that one day
back in the early days of Seattle
maybe back in the 1860s
there was a rumbling and a quaking.
The street split open
and a demonic pair of arms
reached up to the sunlight.
Suddenly, the air was full of
sulfurous smoke and
demons.
They plagued Seattle for years,
wreaking havoc and fear
until a strange man appeared one day
with this very talisman.
He claimed it was black magic
and used it to drive those demons
right back where they came from.
Then the townspeople sealed the hole
with an enormous iron lid
so they'd never escape again.
Come on, Scooby,
did that little legend scare you?
That was sort of scary, wasn't it?
But wasn't that just a legend?
Well, everyone thought so
until a few days ago.
My company was hired
to develop a shopping center
and when my men stumbled upon the lid
and opened it
the demons escaped.
Jeepers. What a mystery.
To me the mystery is
why we're all still here.
Like, l vote for forgetting
the whole thing.
Me too.
Hey, l found something.
lt might be a clue.
A hotel matchbook from
The Crow's Nest.
Oh, that's an old
waterfront dive near here.
l think we better check it out, gang.
There it is. The Crow's Nest hotel.
Like, if we're lucky,
they won't have any vacancies.
We're not going to stay, just investigate.
Yep. Saw one of them demons myself
as he was coming around the corner.
Bless my barnacles,
he was horrible-looking.
The demon's here?
Like, l'm checking out.
Like, net time you check in
while l'm checking out
check with me first.
lt's the demon.
Him?
That old salt's no demon.
That's my star boarder, Albert Tross.
At your service, mateys.
First mate here aboard the Crow's Nest.
You'll have to forgive our friends,
Mr. Tross
but the demon stories
got them a little shook.
Aye. And with good reason.
You mean you've seen them too?
Aye, miss, prowling the docks every night
and sneaking up on you in the fog.
Every night? Come on, gang.
The docks are our net stop.
l'm all for stopping right now.
Scooby, Shaggy,
you guys search down that way.
But, like, l'm a rotten searcher.
And yell if you see anything.
Okay, l'm a terrific yeller.
What do you think, Scoob?
We could probably find
half a dozen demons hiding in there.
So we'll go
that way.
Like, the fog sure
rolls in thick around here.
Scoob, did you hear
what l don't see?
Like, he'll never catch us now.
Shaggy, look.
Yuck. Like, l knew there was something
fishy about coming down here.
And there he was,
hissing and breathing smoke
-reaching out to grab us.
-Jeepers.
Ahoy, mateys, hurry up.
-lt's the demons.
-What happened?
Blast those scurvy monsters.
They've taken poor Albert.
Ta-- Ta-- Taken him?
-Where?
-l've got a hunch.
He's in the underground city,
and that's where we're going.
Do we have to?
Like, the underground city
is in Captain Sally's basement?
lt's not in her basement, Shaggy.
This is just one way to get there.
This is strange.
The door is clean,
but the walls are covered with cobwebs.
Which means someone's been using
this door to the underground city.
Come on, follow me.
Jinkies. lt's so quiet.
Shaggy, what are you two doing?
Like, in case the demons
try to sneak up on us
-we'll see them. Right, Scoob?
-Right.
Yes, sir, nothing like being careful.
Everything okay up ahead, Fred?
Fred?
lt's the steaming demon.
That was a close one, Scoob.
Yeah.
Scooby, the glasses. He'll hear us.
He's coming back.
Quiet.
All clear, Scoob.
Hey, what happened to you two?
You saw a demon?
Worse.
He saw us.
Well, look what we found.
lt's the lid that keeps
the demons underground.
But it seems to still be locked.
Maybe they've discovered
another way out.
Then it's up to us to find it.
Like, now you're talking.
l'm always looking for a way out.
Jinkies, the stores are still up.
This one's a dress shop.
Let's see what's in this one.
Hey, there are people in there.
Shaggy, Scooby, wait.
Who's that?
They're only stone figures, statues.
Statues.
This must be some kind of museum.
And this has gotta be the hall of horrors.
-Yuck.
-Look.
There's a demon ehibit.
Wait a minute,
do you see what l don't see?
l don't see anything.
That's just it.
One of the demons is missing.
Jeepers. You don't suppose
it came to life, do you?
A stone statue coming to life
hiding in the shadows
waiting to grab us
when we least epect--
Daphne? Where's Daphne?
Look. Steaming demon's footprints.
Like, he must have grabbed Daphne.
Quick, let's split up and find her.
-Daphne.
-Daphne.
Let's look in here.
Stick close, Scooby.
Anybody home?
Daphne, are you here?
-Yipes.
-And double yipes.
Like, it was probably just the wind,
l hope.
This looks like an old music shop.
-What was that?
-Music.
Music? lt couldn't have been.
lt was probably just your imagination.
Scooby, you sure got a loud imagination.
Like, it was only a player piano.
l guess the joke's on us, hey, Scoob.
Yeah.
lt's the demon.
-See anything?
-Nope.
Me neither.
-lt's in here with us.
-Help.
Wait, it's me.
Daphne.
Daphne?
What are you doing in there?
That creepy demon
stuffed me into this piano.
What a dirty trick.
But it could have been worse,
he could have stuffed you in a harmonica.
This drugstore still has a shelf full
of old medicines: castor oil, cod-liver oil.
Wait a minute. Look at that shelf.
Somebody, or something,
has been at those bottles.
l think you found a clue.
l wonder what's in this one.
Yuck, what an awful smell.
Rela, everybody. lt's just us chickens.
Hey, you found Daphne.
And look what we found.
That's just like the smoke
those demons give off.
Eactly.
But, like, this smoke's not so scary
when the demon's not around, huh?
-What is it?
-The demon.
Run.
He's still after us. Faster.
The only way we can stop him
is with the talisman.
Right. We better get back
to Sam Crenshaw's office
on the double.
Look at the writing on the walls.
''Leave. Do not follow.''
''He is ours.
You will never see him again.''
Oh, no.
Now they've taken Mr. Crenshaw.
The talisman is gone too.
Like, now what do we do?
lt's back to the underground city.
Scooby, be quiet.
You want the demons to hear us?
Sorry.
lt's a whole gang of demons.
Quick, into this alley before they spot us.
Scooby, come back.
Scoob, are you okay?
Looks like we're in
a cable-car roundhouse.
Look. Those switches must have run
the cable-car system in the old city.
But if that's so, how come
some of those switches look brand-new?
Good question.
l have a hunch the answer is
tied in with this mystery.
Like, wow.
l've always wanted to run a cable car.
Here l go.
Wait for me.
This is the way to fly,
huh, Scoob?
Who invited him?
Get set, Scooby.
One, two, three, jump.
Geronimo.
Hold it, Scoob.
We better wait for the others.
On second thought, Scoob
like, run.
Well, like, it's about time you got here.
Do you realize that you've been
holding up the scene, huh?
Get over there on your mark.
-Not yet.
-Not yet.
Wait till l say, ''Roll them.'' Wardrobe.
Wardrobe.
-Makeup.
-Makeup.
Roll them.
Rolling.
Okay, now hiss and roar.
More feeling, give it more feeling.
No, no, no. Cut.
So far there's no sign of the demon
or Shaggy and Scooby.
Look out below.
Look out. Shaggy, stop.
Sorry to drop in on you like this.
Jeepers.
We're back in the museum. And look
all the demons are gone.
Like, that's weird.
Not as weird as it looks, Shag.
ln fact, it's all starting to make sense.
Fred's right.
All we need now to solve this mystery
is to capture the leader of the demons.
And to do that, l have a plan.
lf we hook some of these statues
up to the cable-car system
we can make the demon think
they're after him.
And then we can grab him.
Great idea, Fred.
But first we'll have to get someone
to lure him into the open.
Here he comes, Fred.
Fire one.
Like, it's working.
Fire two.
Fire three.
Steer him toward the iron lid.
Right.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy, we got him now.
-What's wrong?
-He's gone.
Look, it's a tunnel.
Quick. Follow me before he gets away.
The demon's tracks
end here at this panel.
Well, look at this.
Captain Sally's basement.
Yipes, it's the demon.
Rela, Shag.
lt's Albert Tross.
Jeepers, Mr. Tross.
Are we glad to find you.
Thank you, mateys.
l've been shanghaied by them demons,
and you've come to my rescue.
lt was nothing.
Get away from there.
Get your paws off my sea chest.
-Money.
-Money?
Just as l suspected.
Come on, gang. After him.
Like, l'm afraid
he's around here somewhere.
Look at all this dust, Scoob.
Gesundheit.
Was that you, Scooby?
Looks like it's up to us.
l'll go around this way,
and you go over the top
-and we'll surprise him, Scoob.
-Okay.
Like, you got him, Scooby.
l did?
And now we'll see who
Albert Tross really is.
Sam Crenshaw.
Yeah, alias Albert Tross and the demon.
l get it.
He was going to use
the Albert Tross disguise for his getaway.
But we found the matchbook
that connected him to the old sailor.
So he was forced
to make Tross vanish too.
Mr. Crenshaw got his demon costume
from the museum in the underground city.
Then he hooked the demon statues
to the cable-car system
to make it look like an army of them
were running loose in the streets.
And all the smoke
and sizzling handprints
were created with those chemicals
we found in the old pharmacy.
You kids think you're pretty smart.
l would have gotten away with it all too,
if you and that dog hadn't come along.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo.
The mystery of the underground demons
was sure a spooky adventure.
Spooky? What's so spooky about
a bunch of hokey old hissing demons?
Come on back, Scooby.
lt's only a steamed lobster.
[ENGLlSH]
