Retro Jethro

The gang travel to Turkey to investigate the truth behind the mysterious sightings of a Tar Monster in the lost city of Byzantius.

Transcript

00:00Whoa, like these Turkish mountain roads are really rocky.

00:20I don't see anything.

00:27Just hang on, gang.

00:28We should be at Professor Brixton's camp any minute now.

00:31Imagine him discovering a whole city that's been buried for thousands of years.

00:36And we'll be among the first to see it.

00:39Hey, how's about a little Turkish music, Scoob?

00:59Well, this looks like the place.

01:24This area is restricted, no visitors.

01:27We've come at the direct invitation of Dr. Brixton, sir.

01:30Dr. Brixton?

01:31Hmm.

01:32Very well.

01:33His tent is over there.

01:34Jeepers, Professor, this is really exciting.

01:46We're anxious to see what you've discovered in the ancient city.

01:50I'm afraid, my friends, there won't be much to see.

01:54We've had to stop digging.

01:55Stop?

01:56Why?

01:57How come?

01:58Because all my workers were frightened away by the tar monster.

02:02Huh?

02:03Like, what do you mean, tar monster?

02:07This area has been known for centuries for its tar pools.

02:10The people have always believed the ancient city of Byzantius was under the protection

02:15of a legendary creature that lived in the pools, the tar monster.

02:21Having trouble, Scoob?

02:35Oh.

02:47The trouble began yesterday, when we finally reached the inner sanctum of the ancient city.

02:53We were about to open this sanctum, when we found an ancient curse carved in the stone.

03:02It said, this city is under protection of the tar creature.

03:07Intruders, beware.

03:08Suddenly, there was a terrible roar.

03:09And then, he appeared, the tar monster, a terrifying sight, tar dripping from its body

03:21as it came toward us.

03:22The workmen ran away.

03:23And that's not the worst of it.

03:30Like I was afraid you were going to say that.

03:33Come with me.

03:34I'll show you.

03:35Zoinks!

03:36Zoinks!

03:37Zoinks!

03:38Zoinks!

03:39What happened?

03:40Last night, I heard my assistant, Mr. Stoner, shouting for help.

03:44I ran over here to help, and found this.

03:47His tent, destroyed.

03:49Zoinks!

03:50What happened to him?

03:51We don't know.

03:52He's gone, disappeared.

03:53Oh, like the tar monster got him.

03:58Here's a picture of Stoner, streaked with tar.

04:02And look at this.

04:03There's tar everywhere.

04:04Come.

04:05We must return to my tent before the creature comes back.

04:08Comes back?

04:09Jinkies.

04:10That sure is awful about your assistant disappearing like that, Professor Briggston.

04:17What'll you do now?

04:18We are certain that a priceless treasure awaits us in the Inner Sanctum.

04:23I must carry on by myself, if necessary.

04:29Zoinks.

04:31Like it's him.

04:39Scooby-Doo, where are you?

04:48There's no need to worry.

04:55It's only my foreman, Ben Gozzi.

04:57He will take you to your tents for the night.

05:00Thank you, Professor.

05:01Come on, everybody, let's get some sleep.

05:05What a trip, eh, Scoob?

05:06Tar monsters, disappearing people.

05:09It's enough to drive a person batty.

05:12Scoob? Scoob?

05:14Grrr...

05:15GRRRR!

05:17GRR, GRRR!

05:19GRRR!

05:21GRR!

05:22GRR!

05:25GRRRR.

05:29GRRR!

05:31GRRR!

05:32GRRR!

05:33GRRR!

05:34GRRR!

05:36GRRR!

05:37GRRR!

05:38GRR.

05:39🎵

05:42Come on, Scoob, not before a s'morry.

06:03Wake up, Scoob, or I'll never get to sleep.

06:08Oh, boy. Like it's only the tar monster.

06:13Zoinks!

06:18Scoob, let's get out of here!

06:22You say something, Shaggy?

06:28Shaggy?

06:38Help!

06:40The tar monster!

06:42It's time for the tar monster!

06:45Wait a second. Slow down.

06:47You actually saw the tar monster?

06:50Yeah.

06:51He was this tall.

06:53And this wide.

06:56Where did you see him?

06:57He came after us in our tent.

06:59Jeepers. We better have a look.

07:04There's tar everywhere.

07:06For once, you two weren't imagining things.

07:09Let's follow his tracks and see what we can find.

07:12Come on.

07:13Oh, Scooby.

07:15Sometimes I think you have a real yellow streak right down your back.

07:23Quit the clowning, Scoob.

07:25There's no time to waste.

07:30Jinkies. The tracks end at this tar pool.

07:33As if he went down into it.

07:35But that's impossible.

07:37Not for a tar monster.

07:39Hey, look at this.

07:41What is it?

07:42Looks like an ancient piece of pottery.

07:44But what's it doing here?

07:46I don't know.

07:47But I bet the professor will.

07:49Let's go.

07:57Our government agrees with your decision

07:59to recover our ancient treasures without delay, Professor.

08:02I will go with you and your friends to open the inner sanctum today.

08:06After what happened last night,

08:08we're more interested than ever in the mystery of the tar monster.

08:11Good.

08:12You can witness what will surely be

08:14one of the most valuable finds of the century.

08:17Hey, you two. How's breakfast coming along?

08:20Terrific. You might say I'm really cooking.

08:23Really cooking, Scoob.

08:33We'll get started right after breakfast.

08:36Why, keep the toast a-popping, Scoob.

08:41Okay. More toast.

08:43Coming up.

08:55I will get my equipment and meet you all

08:58at the excavation in 15 minutes.

09:00We'll be there.

09:02Jeepers. There's a whole city down here.

09:07With enough statues and art objects to fill a museum.

09:11The richest treasures lie as yet untouched

09:14in the inner sanctum of the city.

09:31Funny. Like that statue looks familiar.

09:36Professor, what happened to the mighty city of Byzantius?

09:39Yeah. How come it's buried so far beneath the surface?

09:42Our research indicates there was a giant earthquake

09:46that dropped this entire region hundreds of feet.

09:49Jeepers.

09:50And then the surrounding hills collapsed,

09:53burying the city forever.

09:55No wonder everything looks almost untouched.

09:57As if people were still living here.

10:02And here we are.

10:03The very spot where the workmen ran away.

10:05And, like, there's the curse of the tar monster.

10:08Oh?

10:11This is a great moment in history.

10:16Professor, the treasures have been stolen.

10:19The city is in ruins.

10:22Professor, the treasures have been stolen.

10:25Look, the tar monster.

10:37Run for your lives!

10:40Relax. It's only a statue.

10:43Statue?

10:46It's been here for centuries

10:48to guard the inner sanctum treasures.

10:50Some guard. Like there's nothing left to steal.

10:53Yeah.

10:55Professor Kareem, look.

10:57Jeepers, the tracks of the tar monster.

11:00But that's impossible.

11:01No one could get past my guards at the entrance.

11:04Which means we must have found another way to get down here.

11:08I must sound the alarm.

11:09I'll come up with you.

11:11Like that's a swell idea.

11:12Let's get out of this creepy place.

11:15Hold it, you two.

11:17We've got to track down the tar monster.

11:19Oh, boy. Wouldn't you know he'd say that.

11:23Looks like our tar monster has been here several times.

11:27There are tracks down both corridors.

11:30Which means we'll have to split up to look for clues.

11:33Split up?

11:34Uh-uh.

11:35Oh, Scooby, what could possibly happen to you?

11:40Shaggy, you and Scooby go that way and see what you can find.

11:44We'll head down this way.

11:46Why, careful, Scoob.

11:48There's a lot of tar along here.

11:50Yeah.

11:56Yuck.

12:03Hmm.

12:06Hmm.

12:23Shaggy, wait for me.

12:26Scooby? Scooby-Doo?

12:29Where are you?

12:31Shaggy?

12:36Uh-oh.

12:40Whoa!

12:44Scooby, I can't help!

12:47Oh, boy.

12:49I'm coming, sir.

12:51I'm coming, sir.

13:03Look, Scoob, like this is the same kind of lid we found back at the tar pool.

13:08Yeah, maybe it's a clue.

13:12Jeepers, this underground city is a maze of corridors and tunnels.

13:17It's a good thing we have the tar tracks to follow.

13:20We could be lost down here forever.

13:23Look, I had a hunch we'd find this, another tar pool.

13:27And the tracks end here, just as they did at the pool above ground.

13:32Hmm, it looks like we're finally on to something.

13:36Right, let's find Shaggy and Scooby to see if they came up with anything.

13:43Like the trouble with following these tracks is we might run into the monster that's making them.

13:48Oh, boy, if I live to be a hundred, I'll never forget that tar monster roar.

13:56Pretty good, Scoob. You sound just like him.

14:01I mean, that's terrific, Scoob.

14:06Zoinks!

14:12In here, Scoob.

14:14This calls for a fast make-up job.

14:44Whoa!

15:05Whoa!

15:14Whoa!

15:32Looks like no sign of Scoob or Shag.

15:34What's that?

15:36It's a workman's tool kit.

15:38What's it doing way back here?

15:40Look at this.

15:43A map of the underground city streaked with tar.

15:47And there's the inner sanctum.

15:49This map is just the clue we needed.

15:52Right. Now this mystery is starting to make sense. Come on.

15:58Faster, Scoob, like he's gaining on us.

16:08Welcome, welcome, welcome to our photo studio, sir.

16:11We've got a special today for monsters only.

16:14Three pricks for a dollar.

16:16Say cheese.

16:41Very good. We'll mail you your print, sir.

16:52Hey, wait! I got one of them!

16:56Zoinks!

17:02Wait!

17:11Scooby-Doo! Scooby-Doo!

17:17Zoinks! The tar monster!

17:23It's Shaggy.

17:25Are you okay, Shag?

17:27Yeah, but the monster's got Scoob.

17:32Oh, woe is me, woe is me.

17:34I'll never forget you, old buddy.

17:37Oh, my old buddy, my old pal.

17:40Scooby-Doo?

17:42Oh, he was like a brother to me.

17:44Oh, this is unlawful.

17:48Scooby.

17:53Thanks a lot, Scoob.

17:55Take a look at this, Ned.

17:57I think we found another clue.

17:59It's an air compressor.

18:01Huh? Like what's an air compressor doing in a city that's thousands of years old?

18:06Now we know what's been happening.

18:09Scooby-Doo?

18:11Give me a hand with this compressor, Shag.

18:13We're going to use it to capture the tar monster.

18:17Like what's going on?

18:19This is set up so the compressor won't start pumping air

18:22until we get back up to the surface.

18:33Gee, I sure hope this works.

18:36Look, it is working.

18:38Right, that ought to force our monster friend to the surface.

18:52There he is.

18:54Yikes, like he's getting away.

18:57Jeepers, we got him.

18:59Wait till the professor sees this.

19:03Now let's see who the tar monster really is.

19:08Why, it's Stoner, my missing assistant.

19:11That's right, Professor.

19:13He posed as the tar monster to frighten off the local workers.

19:18That way, he could sneak into the inner sanctum

19:21and steal its treasures before you could find them.

19:25But how did he get past my guards?

19:27The answer to that begins with that ancient piece of pottery

19:30we found at the tar pool after following his tracks.

19:33The pottery had to come from the ancient city below.

19:36So when we found the connecting pool down there,

19:39we realized how he was getting into the city.

19:42I get it.

19:44Like he used his scuba gear to dive down through the tar.

19:48All that's left now is to find the treasure.

19:51Stoner, where have you taken the treasures?

19:54Ah, I'll never tell.

19:57I think this map we found will show us where he hid everything.

20:04According to the map, there's a secret room behind this wall.

20:09There must be a way to open the wall, but how?

20:12Like maybe there's a hidden door.

20:28Hey, look! Scooby found it!

20:33The treasure of Byzantius!

20:36How can I ever thank you?

20:38Our government will always be grateful to you.

20:41Hey, and don't forget Scooby!

20:46Scooby-dooby-doo!

20:57Scooby-Doo!

21:27Scooby-Doo!
