Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969) s02e03 Episode Script

Jeepers It's the Creeper

Hey, what's that? A tree? Now I have to move it.
Well, gang, we're almost there.
Isn't it a groovy idea holding the school dance and hayride on an old farm? I'll say.
I can hardly wait to get there.
And I can hardly wait to get my hands on the buffet table.
Just think, like, real chocolate-covered corn on the cob.
Hey, take a look at Scooby.
He's really slicking up.
I guess he's getting ready to put on the dog.
- Hey! What's that? - What? What? Looks like there's been an accident.
And there's someone lying in the road.
It's a bank guard.
Is he all right? I think so.
He just got a bad conk on the head.
Like, wow! This is the craziest accident I ever saw! Not a scratch on the outside, but a real wreck on the inside.
Wreck, nothing.
This car's been ransacked.
Maybe the bank guard can give us some answers.
He's coming around.
The flame will tell the Creeper.
The Creeper? The Creeper? Like, wow! This is creepy.
Who's the Creeper? And what's with that piece of paper he handed you, Freddy? I don't know.
It's blank.
Over here! Over here! Look.
Look at this! - Scooby's found something.
- What is it? It's - It's the bank president's address.
- And he lives right near here.
Come on.
Let's take the guard to his house and get some help.
You did the proper thing by bringing the guard to my house.
He'll be fine when he wakes up.
Thanks, Mr.
Carswell.
We knew you'd be able to help.
Speaking of help, the sheriff's out of town and won't be back for hours.
Tell me, were there any clues to who did this? No, sir, but the guard handed us this blank paper and mumbled: "The flame will tell the Creeper.
" - Like, who is this Creeper, anyways? - Yeah.
Who? The Creeper is a mysterious figure that's been robbing our bank in the dead of night.
And each time, the doors and windows are still locked from the inside.
Then how does he do it? He's a phantom, a phantom that can walk right through walls.
Well, phantom or no phantom, we got a date at the barn dance.
Why don't you kids run along? I'll take care of everything.
This is a groovy dance floor, isn't it, Velma? Yeah.
Why don't you try dancing on it instead of my feet? May I butt in? Well, I've been a wallflower before, but this is ridiculous.
Hey, Scoob, look.
Buffet table at 3:00.
Are you with me? I'm with you! My favorite snack.
Corn on the cob a la chocolate syrup.
Boy.
What happened to the lights? Zoinks! What happened? Cool it, gang.
It's only a power failure.
But But what about our dance? Velma's right.
This creepy old barn is no fun in the dark.
I got an idea.
Let's all meet back at the malt shop.
We can continue our party from there.
Yeah.
That's a good idea.
Let's go.
Scooby and I will head up the cleanup committee.
- We will? - Clean up the food, that is.
See you at the malt shop! Shaggy! Scooby! Hurry it up in there.
We'll be right out! Okay, Scoob.
On your mark, get set go! Pretty good cleanup job, if I do say so myself.
Yeah.
Now we take these paper plates out back.
We can dump them by that ugly scarecrow, Scoob.
Zoinks! He's for real! Gangway! Oh, what's keeping those two? Help! - Velma, are you all right? - I will be as soon as I find my glasses.
Hey, what got into you two? What were you running from, anyhow? Him! - What's that? - That must be the Creeper! Paper! Paper! I think he wants that paper the guard gave us.
And I think it's time to leave.
Everybody, run! What's going on around here? Run from what? There.
That's better.
Paper! Paper! Wait for me! Paper! Paper! Like, let's get out of here.
Paper! Paper! Paper! Wow! What a crazy way to make a getaway.
But at least we ditched the Creeper.
Zoinks! Doesn't he ever give up? Since we're chicken, let's hide with the chickens.
Is he gone? Wow! Any longer under here, and my head would have hatched.
Hey, speaking of hatching, looks like that egg you sat on is hatching.
Now you've done it, Scooby.
That little chick thinks you're his mother.
You better set him straight.
Okay.
You: Me: Oh, great.
He thinks he's a dog.
Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy! Come on, Scoob.
Let's see if we can find the others before the Creeper finds us again.
That was some wild ride.
I'll say it was, but at least that Creeper didn't get this paper.
What's so important about a blank piece of paper? Solve this mystery.
Well, unless my glasses deceive me I think we've just found our first clue.
A car hidden in the bushes.
Let's investigate.
Did you find anything? Not even the registration slip.
Hey, there's something on the floor.
What is it? Negatives.
Torn-up negatives.
And there's something strange about them.
Well, one thing isn't strange.
Somebody doesn't want somebody to see a picture of somebody.
We'd better find Shaggy and Scooby.
Maybe they've found some clues.
That will be the day! Hey, Scoob, can't you do something - to get rid of your Chicken Little? - Yeah! Yeah! Oh, no! Zoinks! Don't look now, but company's coming! Head for the hills! Wait for me! No sign of Shag and Scooby yet.
I hear someone coming.
I bet it's the Creeper.
Quick.
Hide behind those trees.
When I give the signal, we'll all jump him.
Ready? Now! We've got him! We've got the Creeper.
We've got Shaggy and Scooby.
I know whose back you're on but whose side are you on? Sorry, guys.
We thought you were the Creeper.
Like, who do you think we're running from, this baby chick? You saw the Creeper? Where? There and there! And everywhere! According to Scooby, you've been running into him all over the place.
Hey, get a load of these footprints.
It looks like he ran right past here.
I'll bet those tracks lead us straight to the Creeper.
What are we waiting for? Let's go.
Couldn't we make better time on the freeway? Oh, Shaggy, we're not trying to make time.
We're trying to make contact with the Creeper.
That's what I'm afraid of.
The footprints end at this gorge.
The Creeper must be in that cave.
Look! A rope-and-plank bridge over the gorge.
Like, what a shame.
The planks have all been rolled up for the night.
Well, back to the old malt shop.
Not so fast, Shaggy.
Scooby can climb across the ropes and unroll the planks for us.
Can't you, Scoob? Not even for a Scooby Snack? It's a deal.
Go ahead, Scooby.
A deal's a deal.
Attaboy, Scooby! Go, Scooby! Go! - I knew Scoob could do it.
- He knew?! Is this trip necessary? Wow! What a spooky-looking cave.
Like, we're in luck.
Nobody's home.
Welcome to my cave.
Who are you? I'm the hermit of the hills and you're just in time to join me for dinner.
I just lost my appetite.
But I insist.
You must stay for a while.
- It isn't often I have visitors.
- I can see why.
What do you think, girls? He doesn't look like the Creeper.
He looks worse.
Well, that hermit disguise doesn't fool me.
I think he is the Creeper.
Go on! Take a taste.
I insist.
You like? What is it? It's the specialty of the cave squirrel stew with pickled bat wings and crabgrass roots.
Here, have some more.
No, thanks.
I just remembered I'm on a strict squirrel-free diet.
Me too! Come back! Come back! Let's get out of here while we still can.
Come back! Come back! Like, what do we do now? There's no doubt in my mind that that hermit's the Creeper.
Let's get back to the Mystery Machine and go for the sheriff.
Boy, am I glad we've seen the last of that Creeper.
Me too! The Creeper! Zoinks! It's him! Paper! Paper! Back to the barn! - Here we go again.
- Don't let him get that paper.
Paper! Wrong turn.
You wouldn't hit somebody with glasses on, would you? Help! Somebody, help! Help! Hey, watch it! Looks like I'm a goner.
Sorry about that.
- How do we get down from here? - We jump! What else? - Watch it! - Paper! Let go! That's not it! Take that, you Creeper! Scooby, do something! Zoinks! Nice work, Scooby.
You caught the Creeper.
Now bail us out of these hay bales.
The Creeper? Zoinks! It's Mr.
Carswell, the bank president.
How about that! I got your message and went to Carswell's house.
He wasn't there, but I found the bank guard tied up in the basement.
Old Carswell had a pretty slick scheme going for a while.
I'll say.
Since he was the last one to leave the bank every day he would just fill his briefcase with money relock the safe, and leave the bank as usual.
Then, later that night, he would return disguised as the Creeper and make it appear that some sort of a phantom was robbing the bank.
However, unknown to Carswell the guard installed a concealed infrared camera which took a picture of him robbing the bank.
And then when he found out, he went after the guard to get the pictures.
And this is it.
We told him about this paper and after we left he must have figured out what it was.
That's why he chased us trying to get it.
Watch.
The flame will tell.
- There's the Creeper.
- Well, I'll be.
You kids have certainly wound up all the loose ends.
Blasted, meddling kids.
Now that we're rid of the Creeper why don't we creep on down to the malt shop and join the party? - Like, I'm ready.
- Me too! Hey, we got one passenger too many.
I think you'd better take him back to his real mother, Scoob.
Bye-bye! Oh, no! Scooby's become a mother hen all over again.
