The Scooby-Doo Show (1976) s01e12 Episode Script

1
l sure don't envy you fellas
flying all the way from lndia
in the same plane with that
that thing.
l'd rather have Frankenstein in here
than that weird, humanoid shark demon.
They dredged it up
out of the lndian Ocean
where it's been buried
for over a million years.
Law says l gotta keep that monster
in here under quarantine for 24 hours.
Then it goes on display at Aqua World.
One trunk containing rare pearls
on loan to County Museum
from the maharajah of Ringpur
value: 2 million dollars.
Here's your receipt.
We'll keep the pearls here overnight
until the museum
picks them up in the morning.
You can rest easy.
Those jewels will be as safe in here
as if they were locked up in Fort Kno.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo.
Let's start eating.
That's Scooby for you.
He even eats while he water-skis.
Well, like, skiing gives you an appetite.
lt sure was nice of your uncle
to lend us his boat, Velma.
lt's a beauty.
Even has a radio.
And police are still without clues
to the mysterious disappearance of
2 million dollars' worth of Indian pearls
stolen from
the airport customs building.
lt sure is a mystery
how those crooks got the pearls out.
The paper said that the customs building
was built like a vault
and the door was locked.
The only one inside
was that million-year-old shark monster.
And he couldn't have done it.
Jinkies, look.
Zoinks. Look out, Scooby.
Shark off your port rump.
Shark? Where?
Hurry. Get him away before that shark
has a real Scooby Snack.
Like, wow. A ski-eating shark.
-Are you guys all right?
-Sure.
Like, that old shark didn't scare us.
Jeepers, it looks like
we're stuck on this beach.
And, like, we'll never get up that cliff.
Maybe we can make it.
All we need is our anchor, our ski rope
and a little good old
Yankee ingenuity.
lngenuity?
That's a fancy word, Scoob,
for doing it the hard way.
We're almost to the top,
and then we'll be safe.
Well, we made it.
Yeah, but it's so foggy,
l can't see a thing.
Come on. We need to find
a phone to call for help.
How do we get out of this fog?
Scooby-Doo.
Nice work, Scoob.
Why didn't you think of that before?
Look, we're inside Aqua Land.
Hey, we climbed right up
into the aquarium.
We knew it all the time,
didn't we, Scoob?
Do you hear a low, scary creak?
A low, scary creak.
lt's the Demon Shark.
Well, that's our cue to skidoo.
Faster. He's gaining on us.
You can run faster, you've got more feet.
Look out for that pool.
Like, wow, that was some ride.
At least we got away
from that creepy Demon Shark.
-Yeah, but not far enough.
-Not so fast.
There's a mystery here to be solved.
Do you want everybody
to think you're a coward?
Like, when you put it that way
-yes.
-Yes.
-Hold it, Shag.
-Fred's right.
Let's start searching for clues
and get to the bottom of this mystery.
Look.
''M. Dreyfus, manager.''
Hey, there's a light on.
He must be working late.
Maybe he can answer a few questions
about that Demon Shark.
Ah, then you've already seen
the Demon Shark.
l have reason to believe
that Professor Beeker, our biologist,
brought it back to life.
You mean he gave life to a creature
that's been dead for over a million years?
Yes. Mr. Wells, my assistant,
told me Beeker has a book of spells.
A book of spells?
Ancient Hindu spells
that can revive the dead.
l figure Professor Beeker must have used it
to cast a spell on the creature.
l wish we had a spell that
could bring that thing back to dead.
Hey, Shag, that's a great idea.
Let's talk to Professor Beeker
and get a look at that book.
lmpossible. l tell you, Mr. Dreyfus
is seeing things, having hallucinations.
He's not the only one, professor.
We've seen the monster too.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Oh, but that's impossible.
Ever since it arrived here
last week from lndia
the creature has been right
in this room. Right here.
lt hasn't moved a muscle
in over a million years.
What about the book of spells
Mr. Dreyfus said you had?
Book of spells?
l-- That is--
There was a book of spells.
Mr. Wells, the assistant manager,
showed it to me once.
But l haven't seen it in months.
Thanks, Professor Beeker.
l think maybe we ought to
have a chat with Mr. Wells.
He's not in his office.
No telling where he is.
Don't worry, professor. We'll find him.
We've talked to the professor and Dreyfus,
and someone isn't telling the truth.
The key to this mystery is that book.
Then we'll find out
what's really going on.
Right. So let's split up
and look for Wells and that book.
l think it'd be a lot safer
if we all stay together.
-Me too.
-Well, there's nothing to worry about
as long as the Demon Shark is safely
on ice in the professor's laboratory.
Yeah. l guess Daphne's right.
lt's silly to worry when we saw it on ice.
Like, one bite from those jaws
-and we're goners.
-Yeah.
l wonder where Mr. Wells could be.
lt won't be easy finding him
in all this fog.
Oh, my gosh, what's that?
Oh, you must be Mr. Wells, l hope.
That's right. What are you doing here?
Looking for you. We wanna
ask you about the Demon Shark.
-You mean you've seen him?
-Twice.
Twice too often.
You'd better come with me to my office
and tell me everything you can.
And Professor Beeker said
you had the book of Hindu spells.
l remember Beeker reading it,
but l haven't seen it since.
And you say you've never
actually seen the Demon Shark?
Never. That is, ecept the frozen
specimen in Beeker's laboratory.
-What?
-A secret drawer.
Yes. Cabinet work is my hobby.
When this cabinet is finished
it will have several secret drawers
and a false bottom.
Thanks for the demonstration, Mr. Wells.
Maybe later you can
show us more of your work.
Right now we better keep looking
for the book of spells.
l hope you find it. Good luck.
What've you got on the scope, Scoob?
Snack bar bearing
two degrees off our port stomachs.
You did it again, Sherlock Bones.
lt's the famous Aqua Land
Pie in the Sky revolving restaurant.
Pie in the Sky?
We'll search for the spell book up there.
That way, if we can't find it, well
maybe we'll get lucky
and find something to eat.
Yeah.
You think maybe that book of spells
could be hidden
-inside one of those pies, Scoob?
-Maybe.
Like, we'll just have to
bite into every one to make sure.
Yeah.
We bombed out, Scoob, but that was
the tastiest search we ever made.
Say, you think maybe the book
could be hidden in the kitchen
like inside a salami or a liverwurst?
Yeah. Liverwurst.
-That should do it, Scoob.
-Yeah.
Get ready, get set, go.
Company, halt. Look.
''Secret Spells of Gastronomy.''
We found it, Scoob.
We found the spell book.
lt just shows a fella
has to keep his eyes open.
Like, boy, are we gonna
give that Demon Shark a big surprise.
Like, hey, what's happening?
Zoinks, it's the Demon Shark.
He must be after the spell book.
Here, Scoob.
We're probably wasting our time
searching Beeker's laboratory.
You're probably right,
but we have to be sure.
Say, l wonder what's under that tarp.
That's strange, there's nothing
but empty oyster crates.
From Sam's Fish Market.
Why would an aquarium
buy oysters from a fish market?
l hate to say it, but there's
something awfully fishy about this.
-Like, l think we lost him, Scooby.
-l hope so.
Zoinks, look.
The crab grabbed the spell book.
What are we gonna do, Scoob?
We gotta get that book back
before old shark face shows up again.
-Look.
-''Scuba gear locker room.''
Good idea, Scoob. Just what we need
to go down after that book.
Come on. Now's our chance to search
for the spell book in Mr. Dreyfus' office.
-Look. This brochure was lying on the desk.
-What is it?
An ad for the ehibit of rare lndian pearls
at the county museum.
The same lndian pearls
that were stolen last week at the airport.
And look at this.
lt's a shipping order
to ship oysters to
the Aqua Land in Florida.
Oysters, huh? Something tells me
that Mr. Dreyfus will bear watching.
Come on. Let's find Shaggy and Scooby.
Luckily, l took scuba diving lessons.
Now remember, Scoob
we've gotta search every nook and cranny
until we find that book-filching crab.
Whatever happens down there,
don't panic.
Here, crabby. Here, crabby.
Hey, Scoob. Over here.
l found him.
Like, let go, you crazy crab.
No fair. They're tossing oysters.
-We gotta outflank them, Scoob.
-Okay.
-Ready?
-Ready.
Now.
We sure put one over on those crabs.
Zoinks. Like, those crabs sure are crabby.
-Jinkies. What in the world is going on?
-That big crab bit my toe.
-Which one?
-Like, how do l know?
-All them crabs look alike.
-Boy, you're really something, Shaggy.
We spend the night
searching for the spell book
while you and Scooby play around
with crabs and oysters.
Oh, yeah? l'll show you
who's playing around.
-Right, Scoob?
-Right.
lt just so happens
we've got the spell book right in--
''Secret Spells of Gastronomy.''
You really hit the jackpot, Shaggy.
Listen to this spell. ''Boil spaghetti
for 10 minutes, add anchovies
clam sauce, tomatoes and onions,
and simmer over low heat.''
Gastronomy means good eating.
-What you found is a cookbook.
-Cookbook?
Zoinks, it's the Demon Shark.
l think he wants the oysters.
And l think you better
give them to him, Shaggy.
Yeah. You give him the oysters, Scooby.
Me?
What's a ghost gonna do
with all those oysters?
l don't know about him,
but if it was me
l'd fry them in butter,
sprinkle a little salt on them and--
Will you stop thinking about food
for five seconds?
-Are there any more oysters down there?
-Hundreds of them.
l think l'm beginning to see
what's been going on.
We've had a lot of clues
and just didn't put them together.
You're right, Fred. And if
you're thinking what l'm thinking
old creepy is gonna come back
to this tank for the rest of those oysters.
Eactly. So we'd better arrange
a little welcome party.
-There, that should do it.
-lt better.
One more pump,
and it's liable to eplode.
Okay, Scoob, you ready for a dry run?
That's perfect. Scoob's low enough
to pass right through.
Scooby will lead him down the alley.
He'll smack right into it, bounce off--
-And land in the net.
-And l'll be inside the crane
ready to scoop up old creepy,
up, up and away.
-Okay, Scoob, you all set?
-Yeah. All set.
-Here he comes.
-Oh, no.
Scooby's running on his hind legs.
He'll never get
through.
-Help.
-We got him.
-And Scooby too.
-Lower Scooby down, Shaggy.
We trapped the Demon Shark.
-Are you okay, Scoob?
-l think so.
Poor Scooby's got the chills
from his dunking.
l don't think so.
Open wide, Scooby.
Just what we thought.
Zoinks. l know oysters can have pearls,
but a whole pearl necklace?
And pearl earrings.
l've heard of ''oysters Rockefeller,''
but this is ridiculous.
lt's not ridiculous at all. Right, Fred?
Right. lt all adds up to the solution
to the mystery
of the ghost of the Demon Shark.
Now, let's see if he's
who we think he is.
lt's him, all right. Mr. Wells.
l still don't understand
how you figured out the mystery.
lt's simple, professor. The real Demon Shark
is still frozen in your lab.
-Yes.
-But Wells used this costume
to pose as the Demon Shark
to make it seem that it had
been brought back to life.
But why would he do that?
Because he wanted to scare Dreyfus,
the manager, off the job.
-Why Dreyfus?
-To answer that, let's start with the crime.
While he was in lndia
dredging up the demon
Wells read about the jewel shipment
and arranged for the demon
to be shipped on the same plane.
Then Wells used his epert skill
at cabinetmaking
to construct
a secret hiding place for himself
in the base of
the real demon's cabinet.
After the guards
locked the customs building
he sneaked out, snatched the pearls
and ducked back in.
So now he had the pearls, but why
did he want to scare off Mr. Dreyfus?
Wells had hidden the pearls
inside some frozen oysters
from Sam's Fish Market.
And then he put them in the tank
with the live oysters
intending to ship them out of the state
to another Aqua Land in Florida
-where he could pick them up later.
-lt was the only way
to get the pearls
past all the police road blocks.
But, like, Mr. Dreyfus
wouldn't permit the shipment
so he tried to scare him away
with the Demon Shark costume.
Then he could take over the manager's job
and authorize the oyster shipments himself.
Then all that searching you did
was a waste of time?
Right on. Wells was
just trying to confuse everyone.
But you kids don't fool easy.
And you showed up just in time
to foul up his plan.
l never thought Scooby would
go water-skiing again
after that shark
practically ate up his skis.
Like, me neither. But this time
he isn't taking any chances.
Look.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo.
