00:002...
00:01Brought to you by Scrappy-Doo.
00:03Who?
00:07Uncle Scooby?
00:08Hi, I'm Scrappy-Doo.
00:10Scrappy-Doo?
00:18Let me get him.
00:23Let me get him.
00:24Let me get him.
00:26Let me get him.
00:27Let me get him.
00:28Let me get him!
00:29Scooby! Scrappy Dappy Doo!
00:32Scooby! Scrappy Dappy Doo!
00:35Scooby! Scrappy Dappy Doo!
00:40Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:42Puppy Power!
00:48Uncle Scooby?
00:50Scrappy Dappy Doo!
00:55Scooby Dooby Doo!
00:58Scooby Doo!
01:18And at two minutes before midnight here in Lake City, it's 68 degrees.
01:21We're looking at temperatures in the high 80s for tomorrow, and now it's back to the news.
01:28That noise! Where's it coming from?
01:34Who's there?
01:36What's wrong, Sloan? Don't you recognize this scarable arm? After all, you created it.
01:42Who... who are you?
01:44You don't know. You've only drawn those infernal comic books about me for 10 years.
01:50No! No! No! It's impossible!
01:56Ha-ha-ha-ha! How could you forget about my scarab's sting? You invented it.
02:00The... the blue scarab?
02:02That's right, Sloan. You gave me life on your drawing board, but...
02:06You will draw no more comic books. Is that clear?
02:10No more comic books!
02:12You... you can't be the blue scarab! You can't! You can't!
02:18Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
02:21Ha-ha-ha! You'll never be able to carry out your sinister plans! For I am the blue scarab!
02:28Wow! What a hero!
02:30Keep reading, Shaggy! I love how you read the blue scarab!
02:34I fight a never-ending battle for good guys! And I never lose!
02:44Why? But I like to meet up with him! He's my kind of hero!
02:47The blue scarab is really something, all right, Scrappy.
02:51Hey, like, that's weird.
02:53Yum-yum-yum-yum!
02:55Scooby?
02:58Huh?
02:59Is that my mango malt on your lips?
03:05Not anymore!
03:07Not anymore!
03:08Hey, guys, listen to this.
03:10Noted comic book artist Jerry Sloan claims he is being haunted by his own creation, the blue scarab.
03:18Like haunted? Oh, boy! A real blue scarab!
03:22Oh, it must be a publicity stunt, Scrappy.
03:25Yeah? Well, we'll see about that. Come on, Uncle Scooby!
03:30You and me are gonna meet the blue scarab!
03:32Y'all gonna be tomorrow, aren't we, Uncle Scooby?
03:34Yeah!
03:35Ta-ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta!
03:37Puppy power!
03:39Well, looks like we're going to investigate.
03:42Yeah, whether we want to or not. Right, Fred?
03:45Right.
03:47We read about your problem in the paper, Mr. Sloan.
03:49If you believe my story, you're the only ones.
03:54After all, a comic book character coming to life.
03:57It's pretty unbelievable, all right.
03:59And it's all a joke, right? Huh?
04:03Yeah, right?
04:06Right?
04:11I, uh, I don't think it was a joke, Scoob.
04:15After the blue scarab vanished, I found this on my wall.
04:20That's the sign of the scallop!
04:23Like in the comics, he leaves that mark to warn criminals he'll be back!
04:27The comic book?
04:29Well, I'm gonna find him first!
04:31Come on, Uncle!
04:32We'll show him he can't go around scaring the guy that draws him!
04:35Hmm. This is very interesting.
04:38And very frightening, Velma.
04:40He wants me to stop drawing his comics.
04:43So, I am.
04:44Does anyone else draw those comics?
04:46Just me.
04:47Oh, I have an assistant to do the lettering,
04:49but the blue scarab is my creation.
04:52If that blue scarab person is hiding around here,
04:55we'll find him!
04:56And we'll splat him!
04:57Won't we, Uncle Scooby? Huh?
04:59I mean, won't we?
05:00Blue scarab?
05:02We're scrapping.
05:03I'll bet this is the scarab's secret hiding place.
05:07Uh-oh.
05:16Jinkies, what was that?
05:17It came from the hallway.
05:18Uncle Scooby!
05:19Uncle Scooby!
05:20Where are you, Uncle Scooby?
05:23This is no time to be reading comic books, Uncle Scooby!
05:27Huh?
05:28Did you find the blue scarab?
05:29No, they found my comic book collection.
05:32But we're getting close!
05:34Hey!
05:35Like I haven't seen this one before!
05:37Blue scarab...
05:38Super crook?
05:39Blue scarab super crook?
05:41That's next month's issue.
05:42It's not on the stands yet.
05:43You can have it if you like.
05:44Uh, thank you!
05:45Would you mind if we had a talk with your publisher, Mr. Sloan?
05:46Not at all, if you think it could help.
05:47Good idea, Fred, old buddy.
05:48Like, we'll just stay here and catch up on our reading.
05:49I mean, cleaning.
05:50I mean, we'll clean up this mess, all right, Fred?
05:51It's a catastrophe!
05:52The blue scarab is my number one seller!
05:53And if Sloan doesn't draw him, I'm out millions!
05:56I've got to keep these presses moving!
05:58But this blue scarab thing would shake up anybody, Mr. Hardy!
06:01It's just an excuse.
06:02I've told you, Mr. Hardy!
06:03It's just an excuse.
06:04I've told you, Mr. Hardy!
06:05I've told you, Mr. Hardy!
06:06I've told you, Mr. Hardy!
06:07Not at all, if you think it could help.
06:08Not at all, if you think it could help.
06:09Good idea, Fred, old buddy.
06:10Like, we'll just stay here and catch up on our reading.
06:12I mean, cleaning.
06:13I mean, we'll clean up this mess, all right, Fred?
06:15It's a catastrophe!
06:16The blue scarab is my number one seller!
06:18Mr. Hardy!
06:19It's just an excuse.
06:20I've told you, Hardy, Jerry Sloan is through!
06:23Kids, this is Floyd Hotchkiss, another of my artists.
06:27Your best artist.
06:29Wise up and dump Sloan!
06:31Oh, you wouldn't really fire him, would you?
06:33If Sloan won't draw, I'll have no other choice.
06:37Which means we better get back and unlock this mystery.
06:40We draw comic books much larger than the size they're printed.
06:44Then a camera photographs the pages and reduces them.
06:47My assistant then takes the pages.
06:50Oh, no!
06:51What?
06:52Oh, boy!
06:53It's the blue scarab along!
06:55Like, it's the blue scarab himself!
06:58This is no time to look in here for clues, Uncle Scooby!
07:04The blue scarab is here!
07:06I have returned!
07:08Oh, no!
07:10Have you decided to retire or do you need further convincing?
07:16Like, sure!
07:17We'll retire anything!
07:19You name it, we'll do it!
07:21Wow!
07:22It's the real blue scarab!
07:24So how come my hero is such a meanie?
07:27You designed me to strike terror into the hearts of evil doers, Sloan.
07:31But now I strike terror into your heart!
07:34And mine too, Mr. Blue Scarab, sir!
07:36Oof!
07:37Let me at him!
07:38He can't force the walk for him that way!
07:40Buggy!
07:41Uh-oh!
07:42The blue scarab will turn to crime and ruin forever his name and yours!
07:48He's getting away!
07:56I'll stop him!
07:57I'll stop him!
07:58We'll get him now, Uncle Scoob!
08:00Ta-da-da-da!
08:01Uh-oh!
08:02Like you said it, Scoob!
08:04Help!
08:07P-p-p-pumpy power!
08:09How about that?
08:10I think he got him!
08:11Well?
08:12What happened?
08:13I got you now, blue scarab!
08:16You can't get away from Scrappy Blue, I tell you.
08:21Let go of me, you little Scrappy.
08:24Like that isn't the Blue Scarab.
08:26It isn't?
08:27Uh-uh.
08:29Oomph.
08:31Well, what'd you expect?
08:32I'm just a little puppy.
08:37That's Howard Gruber, my assistant.
08:39What happened?
08:40And the Blue Scarab was just here, and he escaped down that hole.
08:44Well, he didn't go by me.
08:45And we sure didn't see him.
08:47But how could he just vanish like that?
08:50That's a good question.
08:51The same way I'm leaving Sloan, I've had it with all this nonsense.
08:56The Blue Scarab.
08:57Here?
08:58It was really something, Fred.
09:00Like it was the Blue Scarab, all right.
09:02Only he said, he said he was turning to crime.
09:05That's right.
09:05The Blue Scarab, a criminal?
09:08This could destroy a doggy's faith.
09:11Oh, no.
09:11Hey, it's just like in this comic.
09:16Blue Scarab, super crook?
09:18It's just a story, Velma.
09:20A villain hypnotizes the Blue Scarab into committing robberies for him.
09:24And like his first stop is a jewelry store.
09:27Boy, this guy's really something.
09:44You show him, Blue Scarab.
09:46What was that?
09:50Hold it right there, mister.
09:52You're going to...
09:53Now for the jewels.
09:57These should do nicely.
09:58There for the first loot in the Blue Scarab's crime spree.
10:02Police.
10:06There's been a robbery.
10:07And you'll never believe who did it.
10:09And the report indicates that the Blue Scarab made off with almost $1 million worth of valuable jam.
10:15A jewelry store robbery.
10:17Just like in Shaggy's comic.
10:19Zoinks.
10:20Here, Scoob.
10:21You can have it.
10:21Consider it a gift.
10:22No, thanks.
10:24Let me see that, will you, Uncle Scooby?
10:26There could be a clue in here.
10:28Oh, come on.
10:29There must be thousands of copies of that issue in the city.
10:32No, Daphne.
10:33It doesn't come out until next month.
10:36The only other person who has one is my publisher.
10:39It says here, the Blue Scarab's next crime is a bank heist.
10:43Like, uh, like, why don't we just forget all this silly stuff for a while and, uh, relax with some music, huh?
10:52A Blue Scarab has struck again, this time at the first Midtown Bank where he escaped with...
10:57Oh, boy.
10:58Oh, boy.
10:59There.
11:00Like, uh, I'm more relaxed already, huh?
11:02It looks like the Blue Scarab is acting out this whole comic book.
11:06And his next target is the City Museum.
11:13The City Museum?
11:14Boy, I hope we're not too late.
11:17Funny, I was just hoping we are.
11:19Come on, Shaggy.
11:21Be brave like me and my Uncle Scooby.
11:24We're gonna find that Blue Scarab and splat him with a capital splat.
11:30Well, it all seems quiet so far.
11:33Metaling fools.
11:35Okay now, Scrappy.
11:36We want you to stay here for your own safety.
11:39Ah, but, uh, but don't you need me to...
11:41Don't move.
11:42Got it?
11:43Sure, Uncle Scooby.
11:45Don't move.
11:46I got it.
11:47Like, we'll be right back.
11:49I hope.
11:50Ah, look.
11:53Scrappy.
11:54I'm not moving.
11:55I'm not moving.
11:58Scrappy.
12:05Oh, no.
12:06It's gonna hit Scrappy.
12:08What's that, Daphne?
12:11Hey, look, Uncle Scooby.
12:13A big stone thing.
12:14Scrappy.
12:15Save him, Scoob.
12:19Hey, here it comes again.
12:31You picked the best spot, Uncle Scooby.
12:36Huh?
12:37You did it.
12:38You saved us from being squashed, Uncle Scooby.
12:41I did?
12:42Good idea, Uncle Scooby.
12:55Camouflage.
12:56Camouflage?
12:58Uncle Scoob?
13:00Like, there he is.
13:01The blue scarab.
13:05He's getting away.
13:07Come on, everybody.
13:08This way, Scoob.
13:10We're gonna splat that mean old blue scarab hood this time,
13:13but leave Scrappy-Doo there.
13:16Okay.
13:17Okay.
13:18I never get in on the good stuff.
13:21Hey, I can still help with one of my ingenious Scrappy Traps.
13:25Ruff.
13:26That's right.
13:27Oh, thank you.
13:35I am ticked.
13:44Good.
13:45Good.
13:45Good.
13:47Good.
13:47Good.
13:49Good.
13:50Good.
13:50Good.
13:50Well, this is a of it.
13:51I amΠΈΡΠ΅ΡΠΊΠ°Ρ, sir.
13:53Good.
13:54He's gone!
13:59We saw him, Daphne. We know he's up here someplace.
14:02Oh, like just in case, Fred, maybe Scoob and I should just check someplace else, huh?
14:06Yeah.
14:07Where?
14:08Oh, I don't know. How about Brazil?
14:11We'll be back before you know it.
14:13One month, two months.
14:16Shaggy.
14:17There he is, and he's got the famous ruby crown.
14:20You'll never stop the blue scarab.
14:27Quick, he's getting away.
14:29My Uncle Scooby is going to be so proud of me when I catch the blue scarab.
14:36Shaggy, Scooby, you check that way. We'll go around the back.
14:39Right, Fred.
14:40Oh, boy, like how do we get ourselves into these things, Scoob?
14:43Is that me?
14:44Uh, dumb luck, I guess.
14:47Yeah, dumb luck.
14:49And all bad.
14:50Blue scarab, hello.
14:54Oh, boy, it's not here. Time to go home.
14:57Got it.
14:58Zoinks, it's the blue scarab again. Run, Scoob.
15:03Scooby, ready.
15:06Here comes the blue scarab now.
15:09Why will he be surprised?
15:11Wow.
15:12I got him. Oh, boy, I got him.
15:16Oh, I really do got him, don't I?
15:18Oh, yeah, I got him.
15:23Wow, woof. It's him. It's him. It's the blue scarab.
15:26It's Uncle Scooby.
15:29Did you see the blue scarab in there anywhere, Uncle Scooby?
15:33He was here again, Hardy, and I've had it. I can't take it anymore.
15:39His crime spree is all over the radio and TV news.
15:44He certainly leaves a big calling card.
15:47Blue scarab may be a bad crook, but he's a terrific painter.
15:51I guess that does it, Hardy. The blue scarab comic is through for good.
15:57Bad news?
15:58They've already had over a thousand subscription cancellations.
16:01Thanks for all your help. There's nothing left to do.
16:04Unless we can find out who's behind all this.
16:07Wait a second. That's it.
16:09It is?
16:10Yeah. If you wanted to make sure the comic went out of business, where would you go?
16:16Right, Velma. To the presses.
16:21He's got to be here.
16:23And if he's here, we'll catch him, won't we, Yonk?
16:26Sure we will. We'll catch him.
16:30We'll find him faster if we all split up.
16:33Split up?
16:34Good idea, Velma.
16:36They'll never learn.
16:40Just shout if you see anything, Shaggy.
16:43All right, don't worry about me, Daphne. You'll hear from me, all right.
16:48Hey, guys, look. You can see the whole press room from up here.
16:53Where are you, blue scarab, you old meanie-you?
16:56Good idea, Scrappy. Maybe we can spot him before he spots us.
17:01Too late, my friends.
17:04Doink! Spike, we're moving!
17:08That's great! We could see more of the room that way.
17:11Scooby, look!
17:12What?
17:15Spike, we're going to be sliced and diced for sure!
17:18Help!
17:19What?
17:20Spike, help! Help!
17:24Now to take care of the others.
17:27Brad!
17:28Velma!
17:29Daphne!
17:31That's Shaggy and Scooby!
17:32They're in trouble.
17:33Come on!
17:35Not so fast, my friends.
17:37We have some unfinished business to settle.
17:41It's him!
17:42Yes, the blue scarab.
17:48We're goners for sure this time, Scoop!
17:50Yeah, goners!
17:52Don't worry, Shaggy.
17:54We'll think of something.
17:55Yeah, we'll think of something.
17:56Huh, Uncle Scoop?
17:57Oh, boy.
17:58Saved in the nick of time.
18:11I knew Uncle Scooby would come through.
18:15I'll teach you to listen to warnings.
18:17Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da!
18:19Up, up!
18:19Up the power!
18:21Gotcha now, you old bad-bye, you!
18:24Scrappy!
18:24Help!
18:26Help!
18:26Help!
18:29Why, get us out of here!
18:31I'll get you, you little mutt.
18:33Scrappy, watch out!
18:35Coming through! Light gang way!
18:38Splat him, Uncle Scooby!
18:43I guess that about wraps this one up, huh, gang?
18:47Yeah.
18:51I don't understand.
18:52How did you know what was going on?
18:54We had several clues, Mr. Sloan.
18:56Because of the crimes,
18:58whoever was pretending to be the Blue Scarab
19:00had to have read the unpublished comic.
19:03Then the Blue Scarab is my publisher, Mr. Hardy.
19:07Well, no.
19:08You see, whoever it was was also a good artist,
19:11as we could tell by the quality of the scarab
19:13he painted on the wall.
19:14Of course!
19:15It's my rival, Floyd Hotchkiss.
19:19No, it's not him either.
19:21It's not?
19:22No.
19:23Our last clue was the scarab's disappearance in the hallway.
19:26He didn't run out past us,
19:28and the only other person in the hall was?
19:31My assistant?
19:32Gruber?
19:33I don't believe him.
19:36I believe her?
19:37Oh, come on, Uncle Scooby.
19:39You knew it all along, didn't you?
19:41Huh?
19:42Didn't you?
19:43You knew it?
19:44Sure you did.
19:45Well...
19:46Sure, sure.
19:48You knew it all along.
19:50He just padded his suit and loaded it with gimmicks
19:53that you created in your comic.
19:55But why?
19:56Why?
19:57If I could destroy the scarab,
19:58there'd be a chance for me to do my own character.
20:01I'm sick and tired of being your unknown assistant, Sloan.
20:04I...
20:05I had no idea.
20:06I don't know how to thank you kids.
20:08I do.
20:09You do, Scooby?
20:11Yeah.
20:12We sure do, Shaggy.
20:13Show him, Monk.
20:14We could do a comic about the blue Scooby
20:16and his partner and nephew, Scrappy Blue.
20:20Ruff!
20:21Ruff!
20:22Well, it's an idea.
20:24He's the superest uncle I know.
20:30Scooby-Doo.
20:32He's done.
20:35He's done.
20:42He's done.
