In Marrakesh, where swamis dwell, there stands a rather posh hotel...
...'tis there our heroes hope to find, a wicked ghost with evil mind.
The Marrakesh Hotel.
This is where Vincent's telegram says to meet him.
To grab a ghostie. I can't wait to splat them.
Like, what's with him?
The white zone is for the loading and unloading of camels only.
No parking.
- Looks like there's a convention in town. - I'll handle this.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-te-tah.
Puppy power!
All right, everybody freeze.
Okay, ghostie, I know you're in here somewhere.
You can't hide from Scrappy Doo.
Excuse me, monsieur, but you are annoying the guests.
Excuse me, Mr. Zeeguests.
And you will have to leave unless you have reservations.
Like, I have reservations about this whole trip.
We're the Scooby Doo party. I believe you're expecting us.
The famous Scooby Doo? Ha, ha, that is different.
Right this way, Miss Doo.
I still say there's a ghost around here somewhere.
I can smell him.
Hey, Weerd, you should try some Right Ghost, extra dry.
I can smell you too.
Be quiet, Bogel. They're here.
They fell for that phony telegram routine, hook, line and stinker.
Stinker is right.
Now, once our guests check in, they won't check out.
Ah, here we are.
Room 1313.
But she is not quite ready yet.
The maids are cleaning it right now.
What is this happening?
Help!
This is a warning to all living mortals...
...that whosoever opens this chest of demons...
...will release 13 of the most terrifying ghosts...
...upon the face of the earth.
Yikes!
- Let's get them, Bogel. - I'm with you, Weerd.
Only you can return the demons to the chest.
Why us?
Because you let them out.
Phew.
We caught the foolish mortals
You're the fools.
You caught the maid.
You were supposed to bring me that miserable Scooby Doo and his friends.
But, boss, this is their room.
Yeah, but how were we supposed to know the maid would come in?
Silence!
I want those mortals, and I want them now.
Uh, don't worry, boss. They must be in this hotel somewhere.
Yeah. We'll find them.
See that you do.
Why would Vincent want us to meet him at a paranormal convention?
Paranormal convention? Ha, ha.
Like, I don't see a pair of normal guys in the place.
No, Shaggy. "Paranormal" means "occult."
This is exactly the kind of place Vincent would be.
And it's exactly the kind of place we might find a ghostie.
Then it's exactly the kind of place you won't find us.
Right, Scoob?
Exactly.
Excuse me.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I was just on my way into the convention.
Aah, say.
Aren't you Scooby Doo, the world-famous ghost chaser?
Who? Me?
Why, yes, I am.
Oh, it would just be incredibly decent if I could have your autograph.
Of course. Ha-ha-ha.
Oh, thank you very much. Very, very much.
Thank you, thank you.
This is great, I must say.
I am a star.
Yeah, like, a four-star klutz.
Selma. You'll go mental when you hear whose autograph I just got.
Not now, Sandy. Goll.
Can't you see I'm getting a transmission on my crystal ball?
But you'll never guess who this was.
Scooby Doo. Where are you?
Yeah. Scooby Doo. That was a good guess, I must say.
No, Sandy, that's who the call is for on the crystal.
I must speak to Scooby Doo, or someone in his party.
Excuse me, Mr. Doo. I'm sorry to bother you again...
...but there's a call for you on one of the crystal balls.
We'd better check this out.
Why don't we check out...
...some of the gizmos, Scrappy? - All right.
- What's this thing, mister? - So glad you asked.
This, my friend, is the Vacuu-Spook 2000.
The latest word in ghost-catching equipment.
- Allow me to demonstrate. - Oh, look, Weerd.
It's them.
Yeah. Now's our chance to nab them. Come on.
Do you have a call waiting for us?
Yeah, I guess your friend thinks this is a public phone or something.
Mr. VanGhoul.
I've been trying to reach you all day.
We got your telegram.
But I didn't send you a telegram. You're in great danger. It's a trap.
An evil spirit has lured you there.
Evil Spirit?
To save yourselves, you must find the amulet of Ishkabibble.
Like, Scooby, let's Ishkabibble out of here.
Whoa!
And the Vacuu-spook comes with an after-lifetime guarantee.
- What's this switch for? - No, don't touch that.
Help!
Scooby Doo!
Help. Hmm.
Hold on, Scoob.
So how much you asking for this gadget, mister?
Only $4,000.
Four th...? Four thousand dollars? For that piece of junk?
Okay, listen, let's split the difference.
I'll give you a buck 50.
A buck 50? Are you out of your mind?
Goll. Some people can sure ruin your day, you know?
Oh, but there's an evil spirit here at the convention.
This is truly exciting, I must say.
Attention, conventioneers.
A reminder:
Balloting for the Ghost Catcher of the Year award...
...begins tonight at 7. Be there.
Wow, the Ghost Catcher of the Year award.
Imagine winning.
That would be so decent.
Say, Sandy, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
If we could catch that evil spirit...
We could win the Ghost Catcher of the Year award.
You numbskull. We almost had them.
Look, Weerd. They're over there. Come on.
Vincent says there's trouble brewing. We gotta get out of here.
- Get me out of here. - Oh, right away, sir.
Look out!
What happened, Weerd?
I don't know, but it just happened again.
I'll give you 75 cents, and that's my final offer.
Flim Flam, come on.
Take it. It's yours, free.
I think I'll go back to selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door.
Like, we'll be safe in here, Scoob.
So you have returned to the scene of the crime, oui?
What crime?
Don't try to deny it.
What seems to be the problem?
Elizabeth, she was pulled into the evil mirror...
...right here in this room.
Mirror? What mirror?
You were the only ones with a key to this room.
I am holding you here until the proper authorities arrive.
This is a matter for the police.
All right, nobody move.
I'm Detective Elliot Messy from downtown.
What's the beef?
These hooligans have kidnapped my maid.
I was cleaning the toilet...
Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts.
- when I hear this horrible scream:
Could you spell that, ma'am?
Skip it, Flim. Check them for heaters.
You won't be needing this in Sing Sing.
Ring, ring?
No, Sing Sing.
You were lucky this time, mister.
This gang is wanted in 27 states and half the kennels in North America.
Take them away, Flim. We're sending them up the river.
But I can't swim.
The story you have just seen is true.
Only the names have been changed to protect the ignorant.
Thanks, guys. That was quick thinking.
Like, somebody clue me in. What's going on here?
I don't know either, Shaggy.
Mr. VanGhoul said there was an evil spirit after us...
...and I'll bet that's who kidnapped the maid.
I told you there was a ghostie around here.
Why, I'll splat him one.
I knew I should have stayed at the Ritz.
Vincent also said something about an amulet that would help us.
Say, I know a place where they sell all kinds of jewelry...
...the bazaar down the street.
Ick!
Like, it's bizarre enough right here.
There they go.
Head them off, you fools.
And don't let anyone see you.
Yes, sir.
With this handy ghost-Iocator, we'll catch that evil spirit in no time.
I'll bet we can't catch a cold with that thing.
Oh! A mirror floating by itself is a fairly awesome thing to see, I must say.
That's gotta be the evil spirit. Come on.
I am just going totally mental with excitement.
I just hope we'll be able to find the amulet here.
- Amulets for sale! - Get your amulets over here.
- Amulets. - Amulets, amulets!
Does this place sell amulets or what?
Psst, lady.
You're looking for an amulet?
- What? Maybe. - I believe I have what you are seeking.
- The amulet of Ishkabibble. - How much do you want for it?
Only your happiness.
Read the inscription.
It's in some foreign language. What does it say?
Hey, wait! What do I do with this thing?
There they are. Now, you know what to do, Bogel.
Yeah, Weerd. You can count on me.
Isn't he great, folks?
That's Freddy the Fakir doing "Snake it to the Limit."
Let's give him a big hand. And now...
...it's talent night here at the Marrakesh Bazaar.
Have we got any volunteers?
Ah, I think I see some budding young talent right here.
Uh, who, us?
They're a little shy, folks. Let's give them some encouragement.
Why fight it, guys? Our public beckons.
When trouble starts a-brewing
And I'm really in a jam, what do I do?
I don't know.
I give them the old Flim Flam
When ghosties start to chase us
And they try to pull their scam
What will we do?
- Biff them and boff them? - No.
Give them the old Flim Flam
That looks a lot like that floating mirror we saw, I must say.
It must be possessed.
Okay, here's the plan. When I give the signal, we'll grab it.
That's quite a decent plan, I must say.
Lying, cheating, stealing
Will never ever pay
But give them the old Flim Flam
We'll surely save the day
Now.
On your mark, get set, go.
Uh-oh.
I think we got the wrong guys.
You miserable idiots. Can't you get anything right?
Those five mortals are the only ones who can return me to the crypt.
I want them captured!
Yes, sir.
This is your last chance!
Scooby. Scrappy. Where are you?
Daphne. Where you been?
I found the amulet, but I can't read it.
Where's everyone else?
Hello.
Goodbye.
Hey, come on, guys. We gotta go back to the hotel for the Vacuu-Spook.
And catch that mirror demon before it swallows up any more people.
The Vacuu-Spook is upstairs.
We'll go up the back way.
But whatever you do, don't let the concierge hear us.
- He still thinks we kidnapped the maid. - Right.
Like, whatever you do, Scrappy, don't let the concierge hear us.
Whatever you do, Uncle Scooby, don't let the concierge hear us.
Whatever you do, don't let the...
The concierge hear us? Ha, ha.
That is so thoughtful of you.
The concierge.
Oui. And this time you will not trick me.
You can't do this to us.
We're innocent.
I've gotta put myself through sanitation school and buy Scrappy some stilts. And...
And besides...
...it's New Year's Eve.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
See you next year.
- Goodbye. - See you.
Good luck.
Au revoir. Nice to see you. Ha, ha.
You know, I love New Year's.
Except in June.
Get them.
Scrappy and I'll get the Vacuu-Spook and meet you back here.
- Great. - Come back here, you kids.
Zoinks, the holiday's over!
That way.
Yoo-hoo.
Is it safe to go outside yet?
It's never safe to go outside, you know.
When you're wearing last year's fashions.
We represent the House of Boo-La-la.
Offering today's smart shopper the latest duds at new lower prices.
That's reasonable.
Step into our dressing room.
I don't know, Shaggy.
Is it me?
It certainly brings out your eyes.
Scooby, Shaggy, wait.
Uh-oh.
I have you now! Ha-ha-ha.
We caught the foolish mortals
Like, where am I?
Where are you? Where am I?
We must be inside the mirror.
The whole place is backward.
Yeah? Well, let's find a way outwards, fast.
Shaggy.
Daphne?
Like, we've got a big problem.
Correction. Scooby's got a big problem.
There's got to be a way out.
Foolish mortals.
There is no way out.
Well, it was very decent of you guys to drop in.
I must say.
Our pleasure.
So that ghost got you too.
I guess you didn't find the amulet, huh?
Aah, the amulet. Of course.
Amulet? It will do you no good.
Put it down.
Hey, this isn't in a foreign language after all.
It's just backwards.
"Mirror, mirror, magic portal, open up for this poor mortal."
No!
Get them!
We come to clean up.
It's those maids again.
I'll finish them all.
Hi, neighbor. What can I do you for?
No!
- They bagged the boss, Bogel. - Yeah.
Let's pack our bags before they bag us too.
Yay.
And now, to present the Ghost Catchers of the Year award...
...our special guest...
It's the peddler who gave me that amulet.
Mr. Vincent VanGhoul.
He's really famous, I must say.
Vincent, so it was you helping all along.
But, like, why the crazy get up?
My presence here might have scared off the demon...
...and we wouldn't have wanted that, would we?
- We wouldn't? - No.
And now, it's my great pleasure to present the Ghost Catcher of the Year award to...
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- But the award is for Scooby. - Yeah, yeah, step aside, Vince.
I'd like to thank all the little people who...
Flim Flam, the award's for Scooby.
But, like, it would be so decent if you'd tell us...
...what's the secret of your success, I must say.
Ha, ha, should we tell them?
When trouble starts a-brewing
And we're really in a jam
Like, what'll we do?
I don't know.
We give them the old Flim Flam
Yes, we give them the old Flim Flam
Scooby Dooby Doo.
