holy image-heavy post, batman!
So guys, so guys
I was doing some birthday shopping for my mother today at Target, and in the back of the electronics section they have a bunch of movies for sale at $5. And there wasn't anything there that she'd like at all. BUT LOOK WHAT I DID FIND 8D
APPARENTLY THERE WERE TWO EPISODES OF THIS? IDEK but I am now watching this shit and outlining it in my journal just to make sure that it really happened. LET'S GET STARTED.
So the adventure begins with the Mystery Machine breaking down in the middle of a spooky forest. Looks normal so far. As the Scooby Gang are investigating the damage, they see a huge airplane soar overhead and land somewhere nearby. What the hell is up with that? Turns out there's some suspicious cargo being unloaded onto a Jeep, which the gang follows to an abandoned house.
They barely manage to investigate the first room when the door opens. Who could it be?! Is it possibly...
Well, folks, you decide.
Batman: Robin, did that dog hiding under the carpet just call me "Ratman?!"
Robin: Holy anthropomorphism, Batman! Why would you leave your throat completely exposed like that?!
Batman and Robin then stand around and explain that they were patrolling when they spotted a suspicious plane landing and came over to check it out, but I think the important part here is that you could use Robin's elbows to cut diamonds. Christ, look at those things.
So the whole team sets about opening the crate of cargo left on the floor...when an audible creak comes from upstairs. Batman gives the call to scatter and the gang scrambles to conceal themselves.
Masters of stealth as they are, the Dynamic Duo knows the best hiding place of all:
In plain sight.
Luckily, it's merely a kindly old woman carrying a lantern that descends from the stairs -
- introducing herself as Mrs. Baker. Batman asks her if she knows what the crate is doing there, to which she responds no, and is visibly distressed at the prospect of strange men hiding cargo in her house.
Batman has had enough of this foolishness. He opens the crate to reveal:
Batman laughs and throws the doll to the side. Scooby approaches to investigate, ends up getting in a fist fight with the thing, and knocks its head open...revealing bundles upon bundles of money hidden within the doll. Batman picks up a bill and realizes that it's counterfeit. How does the world's greatest detective know, you ask?
Abraham Lincoln is wearing a turtleneck sweater.
No, really.
What dainty little fingers you have, Batman.
The team tracks the Jeep's tire tracks to an abandoned auto yard. The old woman warns them that it's supposedly haunted, but B&Rdegaf. Shaggy and Scooby are a bit more hesitant. As Batman is counting on Scooby to follow the scent trail, however, they can't back out on him.
At least until they realize that the perpetrator walked through this big-ass puddle.
The trail lost, B&R turn their sights to the compacting area you see just to the left there. Robin climbs to the top of the crane to attach a working light while Batman jumps down into the hole to get a better look.
Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby are afraid of this broken headlight.
And this pop-up convertible.
And this mysterious hooded figure with fabulous boots.
All this fright is just too much for our heroes. They make tracks for the nearest vehicle and jump inside...
...just as the suddenly operational crane reaches down and seizes it.
If you'll remember, Robin is currently atop this crane. And as soon as he realizes that it's moving, he calls for Batman, who quickly surfaces and throws our boys a grapple line to slide down.
Fred sets about finding out who's driving that crazy thing while pretending to be the boogeyman:
As Robin quickly runs down the arm of the crane.
And by down I mean up.
Shaggy and Scooby safe, our Dynamic Duo launch themselves into the cockpit at the driver for a swift apprehending!
...Or not!
Yep, the real culprit won their little tussle with Freddy and dressed him up a bit.
With no more leads to go on in the field, it's time to do some homework. B&R blindfold the Scooby Gang in order to take them to the Bat-cave, where promises of Bat-milk and Bat-cookies are made. Shaggy is somewhat perturbed by the thought of bat-milk.
Then Batman drives the Mystery Machine.
Aaaand that's it for part one! By which I mean possibly the only part 8I IDK if this will ever see the light again because lmfao. Why did it ever to begin with.
