Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown (2017) - full transcript

When the Scooby gang visits a dude ranch, they discover that it and the nearby town have been haunted by a ghostly cowboy, Dapper Jack, who fires real fire from his fire irons. The mystery only deepens when it's discovered that the ghost is also the long lost relative of Shaggy Rogers.

Kyle would you quit...

The flaming J!

It's Dapper Jack!
It's Dapper Jack!

Come on, over here!

Y'all say "Cowboy!"

Cowboy!

The travel guide was right.

Sorghum City is
a rootin'-tootin' good time.

Hey! Who's this guy?
Looks like
a real cowboy.

Momma, who's that?

Oh, look, honey.



They're putting on
some sort of show.

Best vacation ever!

Worst vacation ever!

Let's run!

♪ Yeah!

♪ Yeah!

♪ Don't stop, ride on

♪ Don't stop, ride on

♪ Yeah!

♪ Scooby-Dooby
Dooby-Dooby-Doo!

♪ Don't stop, ride on

♪ Got my saddle
and my stirrups

♪ Got my bridle and my reins

♪ Halter bits and harnesses



♪ Horse blood in my veins

♪ Got everything a cowboy
could ever need, of course

♪ But I ain't got no horse

Like, singing makes me hungry.

Everything makes
you hungry, Shaggy.

Yeah, everything.

It's true! Even eating
makes me hungry.

Oh, come on.
I know there's gotta be

some Scooby Snacks
in here somewhere.

Scooby Snacks?

You'll be able to eat
soon enough.

We'll be in Sorghum City
in a few minutes.

Hey! Thanks for inviting us
along to your cousin's place.

You said she found you
one some genealogy website?

Hmm?

Yep, and she was so eager
to get to know me,

she invited me
to her dude ranch.

Like, with guests.

I think this is our exit.

Let me check!

I've got the dude ranch's
site up on my tablet.

It looks like a nice...

Oh, no!

What?

This is terrible!

Look at this!
They used El Kabong font!

The whole website
is El Kabong!

What is it?
A "Lost kitten" flier?

Using El Kabong
is like putting salt
in someone's eyes!

In everyone's eyes!

We've had this talk
before Velma.

A healthy person does not
get this upset about fonts.

Found one!

One?

Rock-paper-scissors.

One, two, three...

That is not how
rock-paper-scissors
works and you know it!

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

It looks like this dude ranch
has some fun activities.

Roping, riding,
even river rafting.

Those are all words
you can pronounce, Scooby!

Roping, riding,
river rafting ractivities.

And there's a barn dance.

I have the perfect outfit.

This should be fun
as long as my horse allergy
doesn't act up too much.

I hope my medication works.

Look! Now entering
Sorghum City.

One more time!

Please not one more time.

♪ Ridin' along the trail
Nothin' but cow tails
in my sight ♪

Huh.
Where are we supposed to turn?

I don't know.

Was that B street or...

Can we just ask directions?

Why am I the only one who ever
wants to just ask directions?

I'll ask!

Like, I speak cowboy!

Howdy, partner!

Why, can you tell me
where I can find...

He's back!

Pardon me, ma'am.

Howdy!

Must be something wrong
with my accent.

Partner, part-ner,
ner-ner-ner.

Part, partner, par,
partner, par...

Howdy, partner! Huh.
It all sound good to me.

We're looking for
the Crazy Q dude ranch.

Uh, well,
what you want to do is,

make a left turn there
at Elm and then...

I don't get
it! No one will talk to me.

Help!

Why am I so scary?

Maybe it's the hat. Come on.

Come on, Shaggy.

No! Everybody screams
when they see me.

I'm staying right here!

He'll come out when
he's hungry enough.

Definitely.
Nope,
I'm never coming out!

Is this Shaggy's
cousin's house?

Looks like
it's seen better days.

Uh-oh.

- What?
- I smell...

Horses.

Oh, hello there!

I'm Midge Gunderson,
this is my husband Andy.

Howdy-doodle!

Andy Gunderson,
Gunderson Tanning Salon
and Lawn Mower Repair.

Here's my card.

Oh, bless you,
you got allergies, hon?

I always carry some
allergy pills,

and antacids and aspirin.
Oh, is this a cat toy?

We don't have a cat!

I'm just waiting
for them to kick in.

- I...
- Oh, this is my
daughter, Debbie.

It's Desdemona now.

How many times
do I have to tell you? Ugh!

And my son, Buddy.

♪ Howdy y'all, I'm Buddy G

♪ At the Crazy Q
with my family! ♪

Oh, my gosh, it's Buddy G!

That kid with all the videos?

Oh, that's our Buddy.

Singer, rapper,
interweb sensation.

Buddy's performing
at the rodeo,

but we're also having
a little vacation

so Buddy can get away
from all the pressure of...

Celebrity!

You'd be surprised how crazy
his fans can get.

Oh, my gosh!

I just have to get
your autograph.

Um, here, just sign this!

Mmm. Usually they're
a little younger.

Anyhoo!

Buddy is really excited
to be here

and finally have a chance
to ride a horse.

Right, Buddy?

He really loves horses.
He just has some issues.

Do you think people can't hear
you when you do that?

Don't mind her,
she just wants attention

now that her brother
is famous.

Everyone can hear you!

Ugh!

There's just something
I don't trust about horses.

They're like giant rabbits
wearing tap shoes.

Only the tap shoes
are for stomping.

This is Dave and David.

No, I'm David, he's Dave.

They're big-shot
television producers.

Seriously? So loud!

Oh, and this
is Carol and Sharon.

They're sisters.

Nice to meet you!

Water, Sharon?

It's vinegar. Oh, you got me.
You got me good
that time, Carol.

You totally got me!

Oh, yeah,
I got you. I got you back!

I totally got you!

Oh, no! I think that one
is getting ready to attack us.

Howdy, Crazy Q guests!

Never mind Buckstitch.

He can't hurt you
from behind that fence.

But stay away
from that critter.

He's the meanest, nastiest
varmint in these here parts.

They call him Buckstitch,
because when he bucks you off,

they have to stitch
you back together.

By the way, I'm Larry.

And this is Kyle.

Ugh. Hi.

Howdy-ho, little lady!

Happy to be here
at the Crazy Q?

And a special howdy
to you, little filly.

And a howdy-hi-ho
right back at you, pilgrim.

I also say hello.

Hey.

Okay, buddy, calm down.

Kyle and I will be helping
you out during your stay here
at the Crazy Q.

Q stands for cowboy.

Uh, not really.

And now that everyone's here,
I reckon we can all have
ourselves some lunch.

Lunch?

It's the ghost!

A ghost?

I'm not a ghost.

I can fix that.

No, he's really not a ghost.

- He's a person.
- Yeah.

You should smell
his sweat socks.

Yeah.

Well, sorry about that.

Well, he looks just like
that ghost that was here
last night.

No, I'm not talking to you.

I'm not saying
you look like a ghost.

I would never say
that about you.

So, that's why everyone
was screaming when
they saw you, Shaggy.

Like, they all thought
I was a ghost!

A little tanning
will help with that.

Yes, it makes you look
much more alive
and attractive.

Debbie...

Desdemona!

Guh!

Hang on a second,
you must be Norville Rogers.

Call me Shaggy.

It's just amazing.
Come on with me.

Tawny's gotta see this.

It's unbelievable.

Uncanny.

Unreal.

Uncomfortable.

You look exactly like him.

Like, like who?

Dapper Jack Rogers.

Our ancestor
and the greatest outlaw
these parts have ever seen.

Ruh-roh.

Whoa, you look
just like him, Shaggy.

It could be you on Halloween.

Oh, I'm sorry
I didn't introduce myself.

I'm Tawny Rogers, your third
cousin, twice removed.

Like, thank you
for the invitation, cuz.

Oh, heck.

Just an opportunity
to get to know a relative.

Excuse me, did
someone say something
about a ghost earlier?

Yeah, that guy threatened
to turn me into one.

Uh, I said I was sorry.

The ghost of Dapper Jack
has been terrorizing the town.

The place seemed
practically deserted.

Yeah. A lot of businesses
have closed down already.

I would think having
a ghost in a ghost town
would help business.

Well, not this one.

He's terrifying, and he shoots
green flames and he...

He smells fairly bad.

Like, how come nobody
in my family

ever mentioned
this famous relative?

Probably because he's mostly
famous for having been
a violent gun slinger.

So evil, his ghost has
come back to terrorize
the whole town.

Well, looks like we've got
another mystery on our hands.

Oh, man.

I can't believe my most famous
ancestor was an outlaw.

What if it's in my blood?
What if I go bad?

That time at first grade,
where I stole the cookie.

This totally explains it!
I'm bad to the bone!

Settle down, Shaggy.

Rafe can you tell us more
about Dapper Jack?

The tourists always
want to hear stories
about Dapper Jack.

Well...

Dapper Jack Rogers
was about the orneriest guss
this town had ever seen.

He terrorized Sorghum City

along with his giant
ferocious dog Atlas.

They were cattle thieves...

...bank robbers.

They stole from everyone...

...from old ladies
to orphans...

...from farmers...

...to school marms.

He cheated at cards,
robbed the poor box

and returned
his library books late!

Jack was always
a slave to fashion.

Legend has it, he once shot
a man for wearing white shoes
after Labor Day.

In short, he was the foulest,

vilest, low-down, dirtiest
no-account human being
to ever walk the Earth!

And consequently,
quite a tourist attraction.

Did anyone else picture
Scooby-Doo as the dog?

- Uh-huh.
- You bet.

- I pictured him
with a mustache.
- Hmm.

Yep, Dapper Jack made this
town miserable for years

until
Sheriff Rufus Carmichael
finally took care of it.

Carmichael wrote
a book about it

that was pretty popular
a hundred or so years ago.

His tales of Dapper Jack

were what brought
the tourists here
in the first place.

Now they come
to hear the legend.

And also because of
the Crazy Q's fancy website.

Did you see it?
Made it myself.

- Pretty darn professional, huh?
- -Yeah.

Nice font.

Yup, I purely love
that El Kabong.

Whoo-hoo!

Well, guess I better see
to our other guests.

Nice to meet you all!

Hey, thanks for coming out.

I'm looking forward to
getting to know you, cousin.

Yeah. Kind of a bummer
our ancestor was
such a jerk though, huh?

These are just the stories
they tell tourists, Shaggy.

We'll have to dig up more
information about Dapper Jack
while we're here.

You're welcome to try.

But I've been hearing
all about him all my life.

And I ain't heard
nothing good yet.

Now, who's ready for some...

Lunch, lunch, lunch, lunch.

Lunch, lunch, lunch, lunch.

Now, how do they know I was
going to say lunch?

They're pretty much psychic
when it comes to food.

My tummy is growling.

Like, shouldn't there be
a room service menu?

Not real... Fancy.

Hmm. If the ghost
shows up tonight,

should I go with
the nylon net or silk?

Yeah, the nylon is stronger,
but silk is more transparent,

thus, more difficult to see.

Now, the Net Master 3000

with the double reinforced
weave is a good choice.

But it's more
of an autumn net,

good for a wild game
and the occasional Sasquatch.

Of course,
the Amaz-a-net

has come out with a new model
that I'm dying to try out!

Yeah, but I haven't
had a chance to do
any clinical trials.

Hmm...

Like, when is second dinner?

Yeah, second dinner?

We just ate.

Let me make this clear to you.

We are never not
going to be hungry.

Sometimes we start lunch
before we finish breakfast,

and, as a matter of fact,

we've put more
all-you-can-eat buffets
out a business than E. coli.

Huh?

Time for an Amaz-a-net
field test.

No, no, no, no.
Net Master 3000.
Net Master 3000.

No, not the face.

A-ha!

Aw, I should've gone
with the Amaz-a-net.

He's after us, Scoob.

Uh-oh.

You can't chase me!
I'm a relative!

Like, "Moo."

Yikes!

He's got me!

Let me go! I'm cowarding!

The girls.

Like, can't we wait
and help them
after the ghost is gone?

Okay, okay!

Let's go get him.

But we just got rid of him!

Like, where did he go?

Hang on, where's Fred?

I am very disappointed in you,
Net Master 3000.

Good night.

Good night.

Shaggy? Scooby?
Are you guys going to bed?

Like, we'll take
the first watch.

Suit yourselves. Good night.

Rise and shine,
good morning!

Well, why is it still dark?

Thanks, buddy.

You're welcome.

Quit fooling around, guys,

we've got some
detective work to do.

Count me out!

I've had enough ghosts
and not enough sleeping!

- Should I say it?
- Say it.

Breakfast!

What's the hold up?
Let's get going!

Yeah, get going!

Velma and I will go
talk to Tawny to see
what we can find out.

And we'll talk to eggs and see
what we can bacon!

This is way too much food!

Most of our guests left
because of the ghost.

The recipe is for
a hundred people.

I only know
how to follow the recipe.

Howdy, breakfast!

Can't you divide by five?

I'm a cook!
Not a mathematologist!

Look, all this food
is gonna go to waste!

Like, can we have seconds?

Yeah, seconds?

The three of you
ate all of that food?

No.

I tried to take a piece
of bacon, but he bit me.

You should really train
your dog.

Not the dog.

Like, man I tried to warn you
not to get too close
to the food when I'm eating.

You heard the guests.

Whip up another batch!

Mmm-hmm.

Do I need to divide
by anything?

Ah!
Like great cooking.

Actually, can you multiply?

Business has been bad
in Sorghum City
for quite a spell.

But since that ghost showed
up, it's gotten even worse.

We saw a lot of boarded
up shops in town...

I think the allergy medicine
is starting to wear off.

Yeah, some company called
Black Rattler Management

has been buying up
all the failed businesses
at bargain rates.

They've offered to buy
the ranch, but I've...

Well, I've lived here
my whole life.

I just...

I can't leave, I...

Hey.

We'll get to the bottom
of this ghost thing.

It'll be okay.

You know, you might be
able to find out more
about Dapper Jack in town.

Also, it might be good to get
Velma away from the...

...you-know-whats?

Horses! You can say it!

I'm not allergic
to the word "Horses!"

Horses, horses!

Oh, my gosh!

I think I am allergic to it.

Huh?

Ah!

So, what are you fellas
gonna do today?

- We...
- We're gonna rent canoes.

I don't know, Midge,
there's rapids on that river.

It's okay, it says...

If you stay to the right,
it's safe.

Just don't go to the left
at the fork.

Well, I haven't left anything
on my fork yet!

Oh, shoot!

Did you hear that?
When I said I haven't left
anything on the fork yet?

I hear it, Dad.

Classic me!

You know, quiet time
could be nice too!

We should have more
quiet time!

Ugh! How can you stand them?

Having a million fans helps.

Oh, there's that stagecoach.

We might take a ride on that.
That looks like fun.

Morning Crazy Q guests!

Mind if Kyle and I
join you for breakfast?

Right after
we do our morning workout,
of course.

- Oh, wow!
- Look at that!

Nice!

I could do that.
I just don't wanna
do it right now.

Let's get a move on, Kyle.

We got some shoeing
to do after breakfast.

Well, hold on there, I ain't
even started my catfish.

Well, quit your jawing
and eat then.

My shoeing finger
is feelin' itchy.

Say, fellows, I know a
thing or two about shoeing.
Mind if I join you later?

Huh. You don't say?
Are you fast?

Fast? I'll say.
Fastest shoer in the West.

We could use a hand.
Meet us out by the barn later.

Sounds great. That stake
isn't gonna know what hit it.

I was the horseshoe
pitching champ
of Camp Little Moose,

I'll teach these cowhands
a thing or two.

Can't talk. Food.

Any idea what
we're looking for?

- Clues.
- Great.

So I'll see if I can find
anything clue-shaped then.

Come on, Scoob, let's see
what you can sniff out.

Yeah, yeah, clues.

Huh?

Hey, there, little pony.

Pony?

How did you get out?

There, there, little pony.
It's okay.

Come with old Zeke.
I'll take you back
to the barn.

Whoa, there, partner.
Scooby's not a horse,
he's a pedigreed Great Dane.

Yeah, pedigreed!

This is a dog?

Why should I listen to
a talking tree anyway?

Uh, what?

It's a joke, son. It's because
of my nearsightedness.

Sorry about your dog.

Here you go, little pony.

Uh, thanks,
but I already
had breakfast.

Consarn it!

Can you point me in
the general direction
of the stables?

Much obliged.

Look, I found
some powder in the grass.

Some sort of tiny crystals.

Like, what could that be?

I don't know,
some kind of fertilizer?

Maybe Tawny
would know what it is.

Looks like boric acid.
We use it as a pesticide.

I don't know why it would
have been where you found it.

That's right peculiar.

Do you know anyone who
has a grudge against you
or the ranch?

Oh, I sure hope not.

We're struggling
enough as it is.

I've worried about losing
the ranch for a long time.

It's the only home
I've ever known.

This ghost is just
the last straw.

Well, don't worry.
We'll take care of it.

I'm not afraid of any ghost,
right, Scoob?

Yeah, me neither.

I got you, I got you good!

You totally got me.
You got me good!

And I'll get you both a mop
and some cleaning rags

so you can clean up
that paint.

She totally got us.

Hey, aren't you the cook?

Well, I'm also
the stagecoach driver.

Sorry about that.
I just wish there was
something I could do.

If only Dapper Jack
hadn't been so evil,

maybe people wouldn't
be so afraid now.

Hogwash! The whole
tourist trade is built around
the legend of Dapper Jack,

but that's all it is.
A legend.

It's all a bunch of stories,
none of it's true. None of it.

Take it from someone
who knows the truth.

Do you know you're
brushing a fence?

No good talking tree.

What kind of museum
sells bait?

One that's near fishing
and wants to make money?

Well, yeah,
it is a tourist town.
Come on.

Actually, why don't you
see what you can learn
about Dapper Jack in there,

and I'll ask some
of the local merchants.

You want that outfit,
don't you?

It's so cute!

- All right, fine.
- Just don't take too long.

Hello.

Hello. Oh, hi. Um,
I had some questions.

$5, look all you want.

Flash photography's okay,
but no video.

Well, here's my money,
but I'm curious
about Dapper Jack.

Dapper Jack was the foulest,
vilest, low-down,

dirtiest no-account
human being ever
to walk the Earth

and you will find many

fascinating artifacts
of his life and times
presented herein.

$5. Flash photography's okay,
but no video.

No, I got that.
I'm just wondering if you can
tell me more about him.

Lady, this is what we got.

You pay the money,
you look at the stuff,
that's it.

Come on, there must be
more to the museum than that.

Yes, there's bait.

Night crawlers or red worms.

Howdy, partners!

Well, howdy, ma'am!

Exhibit's $5,
look all you want.

Flash photography
and video are okay.

You told me no video.

I was wondering if you
could tell me any more
about Dapper Jack.

You know, besides
all that tourist stuff.

I don't know much
myself, ma'am,

but you could look around
in the back if you like.

There's some stuff
didn't make it
into the exhibit.

Why, thank you kindly.

You're right welcome.

Ow!

Man, look at that.
That ain't gonna heal right.

I give up. This place is
messier than Shaggy's closet.

There's nothing
interesting here.

Hold that thought.
Look at this.

Rufus Carmichael's diary.

That's the sheriff who
caught Dapper Jack.

Reading that should
shed a little light onto
Shaggy's ancestor.

Someone broke into it.

Yeah, it looks like
they used bolt cutters.

It's gone.
They stole the diary.

Someone's really going
to some effort to keep
Dapper Jack's past a mystery.

Let's see if our new buddy
knows anything.

Someone stole
the sheriff's diary? Huh.

I didn't even know
we had that.

I really focus more on
the bait side of things.
We got minnows now.

Bass really go for minnows.

Any idea who
could have taken it?

Just about anyone.
I don't even lock
the place up anymore.

I'm fixing to sell out to
that Black Rattler company

that's been
buying up the town,

and they'll probably just
throw all this old junk out.

Now, can I interest you two
nice ladies in some leeches?

Ugh.

I couldn't get a thing
out of that clerk until
you showed up.

Oh, forget that guy.
Let's just dress up
and have some fun.

It's like going undercover.

No way! Nothing could ever
get me to dress like that.

Challenge accepted.

I knew I shouldn't
have said that.

You're darn tootin'
you shouldn't have.

We're here for the shoeing.

We'll get to that in a bit,
city boys.

First it's time for some
of that good old-fashioned

roping and riding
you paid good money for.

We didn't pay anything.

Great, well, then, we don't
have to be nice to you.

Saddle up.

I don't know if I can do this.

I haven't really been
around horses much.

Just watch what
the ranch hands do.

I'm sure we'll pick it up
quick enough.

Ah! Whoa!

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Whoa! This guy's a natural.

I gotta tell you, city boy,

you're better at this stuff
than I am.

Well, thanks, partner.

Ugh!

Everything about this place
is so gross and bourgeoisie.

Like, what exactly does
"bourge-wa-zoo-zoo" mean?

It means I don't like it. Ugh!

I'm dark and serious.

I got that.

Oh, come on, Buddy,
just try it.

Huh? Mmm.

I thought you liked horses.

I like horses in general.

I just don't like
specific horses.

I mean, why would they need
metal shoes if they weren't
gonna stomp on people.

Give me one good reason.

Oh, son, these horses
wouldn't hurt ya.

They're very well-trained.
Anybody could ride 'em.

Yeah, anybody.

Whoa!

Hey, check this out.

Wow, look at that.

Hey! Wow,
I cannot believe this.

Ta-da!

Ta-da!

Wow, all right.

Wow, nice.

He's looking at me
like I'm a bug.
He's gonna stomp me!

Well, maybe we
try this again later.

You ready for
the shoeing, city boy?

I sure am, where's the stake?

Steak? Shoot.

If you can shoe a horse,
you can have all
the steaks you want...

With baked potatoes
and collard greens
and spicy cornbread,

and fried chicken,
basically anything you want.

- What?
- Here you go.

Get to it.

Wait, hold the phone.
You want me to...

Uh-oh.

What's going on?

Some goofball's
trying to shoe a horse.

Oh, sorry. I mean,
your friend's trying
to shoe a horse,

and he's a goofball.

Fred, what are you doing?

Shoeing this horse, obviously.

So, did you guys
find anything out today?

Yeah, besides what
"shoe a horse" means?

Yeah, besides that.

Well, we...

The fiery J.

That green fire could spread
to the rest of Tawny's ranch.

We better put it out.

Quick, before
the fire spreads.

Sit, sit!

Uh-oh!

Yikes!

Take it easy, buddy.
Take it easy.

It... It's working, Scoob.
It's working.

So, Scoob,
you can talk to horses?

I guess.

Well, I'll be...
I've never seen
nothing like that.

You're a born horseman,
cousin.

Are you guys okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

I think I sprained my ankle
a little, if anyone cares.

Well, what have we got.
Anything?

Not much in the
way of suspects.

Yeah, Tawny and Rafe both
stand to lose their ranch,
so they seem pretty unlikely.

Maybe it's one of those jokey
sisters pulling a prank.

This seems a little
elaborate for them.

What about that
Gunderson girl?

She seems pretty unhappy
to be here.

Maybe she's trying
to scare her parents so
they can go back home.

Hmm.

Maybe...

Hey, Velma, we found this.

- Tawny says it's boric acid.
- Mmm-hmm.

You think it could be
connected to the ghost?

Absolutely!
Let me show you something.

What about that Black Rattler
Management company?

- They're buying an awful lot
of local real estate.
- So?

So, I don't know if
anyone else has noticed,

but about 98% of the ghosts
we run into

wind up having something
to do with real estate.

Okay, check this out.

Boric acid burns green.

Maybe the ghost is using it
for the green flames
he shoots out of his guns.

Dude, that's awesome!

Like, can we
blow up some other stuff?

So, no then? It's a no?

You're right about that
Black Rattler Management
company, Daphne.

I'm going to have to do
a little internet research
on them.

What about Dave and David?
What are they up to?

The producers?
Maybe they're here to...

No, I mean what are
they up to right now?

Totally suspicious.

Should we follow 'em?

I say yes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's going to be dark soon
and there's a ghost around.

Fine, we'll go and you can
stay here all alone in a place
where the ghost appeared last.

All righty. Let's find out
what they're up to.

Yeah.

What the heck could
they be doing here?

What's that case
that he's carrying?

Is it a gun?

I think it is.

Come on, man, move.

We can't see.

Scooch over. Can I just...

Like, don't shoot.

Shoot?

No, don't shoot.
Just put down the...

Tripod?

We thought it was a...

- Shaggy!
- Shaggy!

Are you okay?

Of course not! Help!

I can't hold on.

Shaggy!

Zoinks!

Like, nice catch, Scoob.

- We're okay.
- We're okay.

Yes!

No!

- We're okay.
- We're okay.

Yes!

Oh...

No!

- We're okay.
- We're okay.

Thank goodness.

So you thought
we had something
to do with the ghost?

Sorry, it was just...

You were coming out here
to this isolated place and...

We were just
taking some pictures.

We're scouting locations
for our next movie.

Ooh, a movie?

About the nefarious
Dapper Jack

and the heroic
Sheriff Carmichael.

Man, if you make a movie,

everyone's gonna know
about my jerk ancestor.

We feel like it's time for
a big blockbuster Western.

All the science fiction
and superhero
and zombie movies

have really run their course.

But just in case, we're going
to make Dapper Jack,

a super-powered alien
zombie robot,

from the future.

Also, Sheriff Carmichael
might have a rapping monkey
that grants wishes.

Best... Movie... Ever.

You know, if you want to find
out about Dapper Jack,

you're in the wrong place.

Yeah, you should really
check out his grave.

It's right down the road.

Oh, like
we're going to go check out
a ghost's grave in the dark.

Right.

We are going to do that,
aren't we?

Oh...

Calm down, you two.

Sure.

What's there to be scared
about?

We're just by
my ancestor's grave

at night,
in an area he's been haunting!

And the snack bar.
It's... It's closed!

No!

Oh, that's where
they rent the canoes.

You'd never get me
on one of those things.

They're death traps.

Sorry.

Come on, let's take
a closer look.

Guys, wait up.

Ew! What's this eerie
green mist?

Kind of suspicious,
if you ask me.

Like, this place
is giving me the creeps.

Hey, there it is.

The grave of Dapper Jack.

Huh? Look!

"Evil lives on."

I knew this was a bad idea!

Well, the horse isn't a ghost.

Wait! Can you be allergic
to ghosts?

This way!

Yikes!

Huh!

The canoe!

I told you, I'm never
getting in one of those.

Then stay here with the ghost.

I'm getting in! Scooch...

Come on, Scoob!

Whoa!

Huh?

We can make it to that fork.

He can't follow us
if we stick to the right.

Look out!

I think we're heading
into the rapids.

Why is it getting
so much louder?

Huh?

Waterfall!

Maybe we can
lasso that tree!

Shaggy, you can do it!

I don't know.
I guess I can try.

If you can't lasso that tree,
we're all dead.

But no pressure.

Here goes nothing.

- Huh?
- Huh?

Told you.
These things are death traps.

So hot... Too far...

Never gonna... Make it.

Would you quit
being so dramatic?

Also, the road is that way.

I'm so relieved to find you.

I was up all night
worried sick.

We were okay. Don't feel bad.

After we got away
from the ghost,
we were just fine.

Well, once we got past
those rapids.

And the waterfall.

Yeah, no sweat.

Oh, my. You guys could've
died and it would've been
all my fault.

I'm the one
who brought you here.

Hey, don't worry.

You just did it so we could
get to know each other.

You're right, cuz.

By the way,
I own the canoe rental place.

So, last night's canoe
with the tax and resort fee

comes to $80.

Huh?

Cash, check or credit?

Thanks for the ride.

See you
back at the ranch.

Wait, I want to go
check out that grave.

Let me grab my bag.

Hmm...

Guys, I found something.

What have you got?

Wait
till you see this.
Huh?

It's UV powder.

Look! Someone used this
to make those glowing words
on the headstone last night.

And look what Scooby found.

Speakers.

That's where
the sounds were coming from.

Someone sure went to
a lot of trouble to scare us.

Yeah, well, it worked.

Like, I don't care
if the ghost is real or not.

It almost killed us.

We're going to have to
be careful going forward.

Really careful.

Are you setting up
for the barn dance?

Uh-huh. After tonight's rodeo.

Oh, can I help?

Sure thing.
There's some stuff in the box.

I could use
all the help I can get.

Hey, aren't you
the stagecoach driver?

I'm also an interior designer.

Wait a second.
Is this UV powder?

Uh-huh. We use it to make
the decorations light up.

See, like that.

Pretty, huh?

This is the same powder
we found on the grave.

Who had access
to these decorations?

Just about anyone.
It's been sitting in the barn.

The barn.

I'm going to miss the barn.

What do you mean?

I'm going to have to sell out
to Black Rattler Management.

I'm pretty sure Rafe will too.

We have mortgage payment
coming up and I...

I don't have the $10,000.

Hold the phone.
Don't sell the place yet.

Shaggy can get you that money.

$10,000-prize
for bronco riding?

Bronco riding?
Isn't that dangerous?

Nah.

Scooby can talk to the horse
before you ride it.

Like Buckstitch.
It'll be easy.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

You better get ready.
The rodeo is tonight.

Wait... A night rodeo?

Like, what if
the ghost shows up?

We'll be ready if he does.

I have an idea.

Welcome to
Sorghum City's Annual Rodeo.

And tonight we're gonna see

one brave, confident,
bronco-riding cowboy

win a $10,000 grand prize.

Do I look confident to you?

Yup.

Good.

Maybe it'll soak in
from the outside.

Ladies and gentlemen,
cowboys and cowgals,

welcome the rodeo's
special guest,

Buddy G!

Wait, you mean
the sisters are...

Buddy's backup dancers.

They're really good.

Buddy G, you're the coolest.

Can I get your autograph?

Do you wanna ride
in the procession with
the other riders, Buddy?

I'm sure they'd love
to have you.

No! I... I can't.

Come on, Scoob, I'm up soon.

You've got to talk
to the horse I'll be riding.

Whoa, there, horsey!

What? I'm not a horse.

Here's your bridle, horsey.

Huh?

Put it on.

Hey, I've got an idea of how
I can join the procession.

Can I ride him? He looks nice.

I bet he wouldn't stomp a fly.

Sure thing, little girl.

Let me help you.

I'm not a... Never mind.

Tell your mama to buy you
some prettier dresses.

Maybe a nice bow
for your hair.

Uh... Okay... I guess,
Giddy up, little doggy.

Hey, there, son...

Are you going to be able
to handle that horse?

Like, yeah, my dog's gonna
talk to the horse
and calm him down.

Uh... Uh-huh...

Maybe we should be getting you
some safety gear to put on.

Plenty of time.

This is great!

Maybe I'm not such
a wimp after all.

Yeah, you're not a wimp.

Hmm?

Hmm?

Hi, guys!

Look at me. Yee-haw!

Look, honey,
that's Buddy on that horse.

I'm proud of you, son.

Huh. That's actually
pretty cool.

You go, squirt!

Oh, thanks, fellas.
I feel safer already.

Think he needs more help?

Definitely.

As our procession exits,

let's welcome our first
bronco rider,

Norville Rogers!

Hey, Scoob!

Let's give a big hand for him.

Did you talk to the horse?

Oh. Hi, Shaggy!

Great. Thanks, bud.

Look at Scooby showing off.

Wait.

If Scooby's been out there
the whole time...

He hasn't talked to Shaggy's
bronco yet.

Jinkies! Shaggy is done for.

Shaggy! No!

Stop!

Don't do it!

Let's show him our support.

Shaggy,
wait for me. Shaggy!

Shaggy!

- No!
- Don't do it!

Look at them,
cheering me on.

Like, it's great to have
such good friends.

You know
what we call this horse?

Buttercup?

The Widow Maker.

Zoinks!

No! Calm Down!

Look out! Oh, dear!

Nice kitty.

Like,
settle down, Widow Maker!

Easy! Easy, boy!

So if Scooby
didn't talk to that horse...

Yep. He's really doing it.

Wow!

- Hmm. Heh.
- Hmm. Hey!

I knew you could
do it, cousin!

No! Okay!

Yeah!

Yes, that a boy!

Thank you!

Let's hear it
for Norville Rogers.

Way to go!

Yeah!

Yay!

Huh?

Huh?

Look at that!
What is that?

The flaming J!

Come on!

You know what to do.

- Yes.
- Got it.

Come and get it.

Right this way.

What are you waiting for?

Yeah, come on.

Help!

I've got you, Daphne.

Uh...

I actually did it.

Way to go, Freddy!

Ha!

Whoa!

Those cattle are going
to figure a way
out of there quick.

We better get out of here.

The cattle are headed for
Tawny and the Gundersons.

We've gotta help them.

Yee-haw!

Coma on, Scoob!

Look at Shaggy!

He's riding like an old pro.

Let's help him.

Yeah!

They're gaining on us.

Oh, no!

Not now, you hunk of junk.

Come on!

Like, come on, Scoob,

talk some sense
into those cattle.

Okay.

Please?

Yikes!

Well?

I tried. He's bull-headed.

We're going to get stampeded!

Hey, you two,

we somehow have to divert
the attention of the stampede.

Wow! Velma's sneezes
are spooking the cattle.

Great job,
Velma, keep it up.

Like I have a choice.

Oh, this is great.
We can get the cattle
back to the arena.

Let's get it done quick
before my nose falls off.

Phew! Thank goodness.

I don't think we would have
lasted much longer out there.

Now to put a little water
on that engine.

That was some riding, Shaggy,
you were amazing.

Yeah, great job, Shaggy.

Oh, I didn't do anything.

Scooby talked to the horse.

Uh... No, I didn't.

You didn't...

So... That means...

You did that all
by yourself, partner.

Wow! That's amazing.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I need to brain stop work.
Now fall down.

Hey, Rafe, do you know
what started that stampede?

Well, something sure
spooked them.

Don't worry about that now.
You just head on
back to the barn

and take care of that dance.

I've got things covered here.

Oh, thanks, Rafe.

You're a life-saver.

Oh, yeah.

And for the greatest
bronco riding this cowboy
has ever seen,

the grand prize goes
to Norville Rogers!

You got me.

Oh, yeah. I got you.

Like here you go, cuz.

This should save the ranch.

I... I don't know
if I ought to accept this.

You risked your life
to help me.

All in a day's work, ma'am.

Thank you so much, Shaggy.

Aw!

Group hug.

Aren't you
the interior designer?

I'm also a DJ.

I can't believe you conned me
into wearing this outfit.

How could it get any worse?

Thank you
for so succinctly answering
my question, Daphne.

Stick with the plan.
Besides, you look super cute.

Hello, ladies.

Happy to see me?

Hmm?

Yes, but probably not for
the reason you're thinking of.

- Grab him before he gets away!
- Huh?

Hey, how did you know
it was...

I mean,
how come you think it was me?

We knew you might escape
from that net.

But as a back-up,
it was covered in UV powder.

Enough powder to be sure
that some would
rub off on you.

We just had to
wait for the culprit
to step under the black light

and he'd light up
like a Christmas tree.

Yeah, like, you stepped
right into it.

Yeah. Right into it.

You can't prove anything!

What you got,
a little UV powder?

You got nothing!

Nothing!

Holy cow!

I can't believe it.
You caught the ghost.

Not exactly.

There had to be someone
else involved.

Right. Someone else must have
started that stampede.

Maybe we can find some clues
in Kyle's room.

Tawny, do you have a key?

Anything?

These fireworks link Kyle,
to all the Flaming Js
in the sky.

But that doesn't explain
who his accomplice was.

Shaggy, how come you guys
aren't looking?

It's gonna eat us.

Don't be ridiculous,
it's stuffed.

I was stuffed at lunch,
but I still ate more.

Maybe there's more
to this bear head
than meets the eye.

Is that a hidden compartment?

Yeah.

Look, here are the guns
Kyle used to shoot
the boric acid fire.

And here's the cowboy hat
he wore.

See?
This projected the skull face,
and the face of Dapper Jack

on to this veil he pulled down
over his face.

Quite ingenious,
really.

If by ingenious, you mean
so scary that I almost
lost my appetite,

then you're right.

Hold on. I think there's
something else there too.

Check it out! Sheriff
Rufus Carmichael's diary.

And what's this?

It's a business card for
Black Rattler Management.

The company that's been
buying up the town.

Guys, I know
who's behind all of this.

We gotta get back
to the barn dance.

Well, I finally finished
driving them cattle
back into their pens.

Did I miss anything?

Excuse me, hi.

Uh...

Hi.

Hi, everyone.

We found
Sheriff Carmichael's diary,

and the story of Dapper Jack
turns out to be
a lot different

than the one
that's told to tourists.

Listen to this.

"The people of
Sorghum City may love
that fool, Jack Rogers,

"or 'Dapper Jack',
as they call him.

"They think he's kind.

"They think he's warm hearted.

"They think he's generous,

"always willing
to lend a hand.

"But if life has taught
me anything,

"it is that anything
one man has,

"another man may take.

"And I mean
to take this town's love

"from the so-called
Dapper Jack."

Yes, Sheriff Carmichael
wanted everyone to love him

the way they loved
Dapper Jack.

So he framed him
for cattle rustling.

He turned the whole town
against him.

Here he says he had
trouble catching Jack

because of his amazing
abilities on horseback.

Which as you've all seen
his descendant, Shaggy,
inherited from him.

Does he say anything
about not being able to grow
a full beard?

'Cause I definitely inherited
that from someone.

Now, listen to this.

May 17th, 1867.

"Finally caught Dapper Jack
by Minschel Pike.

"He was a fast draw,

"but a poor shot.

"As it turns out, Jack Rogers
was more useful dead
than he ever was alive.

"I can commit
all manner of crimes

"and blame Dapper Jack,
the great outlaw.

"The whole town
curses his name.

"One day, I will simply
disappear for a week or so

"and return with the tale
of tracking down

"and ending Dapper Jack.

"I will be remembered forever
as a hero,

"while Jack Rogers'
name goes down
in the annals of infamy."

Well, clearly, this sheriff
was a byproduct
of bad parenting.

Just as Sheriff Carmichael
used Dapper Jack
to steal from the town,

someone else is now using
Dapper Jack's ghost
to steal from the town.

And that someone is... Rafe!

Why, that's just plain...
Uh...

After him!

Howdy, partner.

Nice roping, Scooby-Doo.

It was you?

But why?

I lined up a deal
with a company
that builds resorts.

They offered millions
for the Sorghum City area.

But why would you pretend
to be a ghost?

The company wanted to
theme the resort around
Dapper Jack, the outlaw.

So I came up
with a fake ghost.

It would build up interest
in the outlaw stories.

And, it would
scare people off,

so I could buy their land
through my company,

Black Rattler Management.

How did you know it was me?

Simple, you said
you built the dude ranch's
website yourself,

and you used El Kabong font.

No professional
would use that font.

No one with any taste
or self-respect would...

Easy there, Velma.

Anyway, I saw the font again

on the Black Rattler
Management
business card we found.

There can't possibly be
two people in the world
who would use that font.

I mean, look at it!

I still like it.

The moral of this story is,

never use El Kabong.

You'll never take me.

I'll be out of the country
before morning.

$10,000 will get me
a long way.

Adios, muchachos.

Yah!

Someone get him!

Oh, I'll lose the ranch
if I don't get
that $10,000 back.

Hi-ho, Scooby!

Buddy, come back!
It's too dangerous!

They're gonna need some help.

There ain't but one horse
here fast enough
to catch that coach,

and that's...

Buckstitch!

I'll save you, Scoob. Hiya!

He's gonna have a hard time
finding them in this darkness.

Like, I can't even see them.

This oughta help him.

Oh, wow! Thanks, fellas.

Come on, Buckstitch.

This one's for Dapper Jack.

Yah!

We gotta stop him
from getting away.

You try to get the money,
I'll see if I can get
to the horses.

Okay.

Oh!

Oh!

There you are.
I can see you now.

And I can see you.

This was a terrible idea.

I don't miss twice.

Bye-bye.

Nice save, Scoob.

You can't stop me.

I don't have to.

Huh?

Howdy, partner.

You're not gonna get too far
without these guys.

Happy trails, cowboy.

Oh... Horse feathers.

Huh?

I'm sorry, Dapper Jack.

I'm sorry. Oh...

You know, Scoob,

I don't really mind
being mistaken
for Dapper Jack now.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

I would have
gotten away with it

if it hadn't been
for those meddling kids.

And their nosey horse.

Not a horse.

But a pretty good dog.

So, here we are again.

I can't thank you enough.

I mean, all of you.

But especially you, cuz.

Like, it's too bad
all the tourists

think our ancestor
was a desperado.

They won't anymore, Shaggy.

From now on, I'm telling
everyone the true story
of Dapper Jack.

Aren't you afraid
that'll hurt business?

Everybody likes
the Dapper Jack outlaw story.

Come on!

The story of Rufus Carmichael,

the outlaw-slash-
criminal mastermind,
is way better.

The only story I wanna know is

why I can't grow
a decent beard
like Dapper Jack.

I've got more hair on my toes
than I do on my chin.

Ugh...

TMI, cuz.

Bye!

Bye, cousin!

Thanks, Scooby!

Like, man, I sure am glad
we were able to clear
Dapper Jack's name

I like knowing my ancestor
was one of the good guys.

No...

Did you see that, Scooby Doo?

- No.
- Good.

Me neither.

Yee-haw!
