[oars rowing]
You have violated the sacred
Viking burial grounds.
Now you will pay the price.
[Fred] It sure was nice of your
Uncle John
to invite us up to go
fishing Velma.
But it's so cold.
We'll probably have to fish
through a hole in the ice.
That's for sure. I've already
got six sweaters on
and I'm freezing.
Me too.
You think you're cold.
Like the hot chocolate in this
thermos bottle is frozen solid.
Wouldn't you know it, Scoob?
A hot choco-sicle.
Delicious.
[Velma] Here's Uncle John's
cabin.
Uncle John, we're here.
That's funny. He knew we were
coming.
[lightning]
Well, maybe he went out to catch
some trout for breakfast.
[Fred] Let's take a look inside.
That's strange. There's no one
here.
But there's a pot of coffee
perking.
I'll wait outside.
Ha ha. Hey Scoob, you look like
a hat rack.
[laughing]
Look Velma, your Uncle John has
been keeping a log book.
Listen. "In the last few months
that I have been coming to
Viking Lake
something mysterious
and ghostly has been happening"
Ghostly?
"One night late, I saw a ghostly
Viking ship
moving in the mist out on the
lake.
Now I think I've finally solved
the strange mystery of Viking
Lake."
[Velma] Go on Daphne.
[Daphne] Well that's all there
is.
The writing just runs off the
page.
[Fred] I wonder what would make
him stop writing
in the middle of
a sentence.
I don't know, but it looks like
he's vanished.
Like maybe he was grabbed by a
ghost from that ship.
Ghost? Uh oh.
And here's something odd.
Look what Uncle John has drawn
on the next page.
[Velma] Viking Runes.
[Fred] Hey, those Runes might
tell us what happened
if we could find
out what they mean.
What are Runes?
It's a kind of writing the
Vikings used.
Oh.
Yikes.
[panting]
[trying to bark]
Like what's the matter, Scoob?
Look.
Look at what?
What did you see?
Ghost.
A ghost Viking?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's something really
weird going on here.
We'd better find Uncle John and
solve this mystery.
Hey, look at this.
Footprints.
They sure are funny looking.
There's no heel or sole.
[Fred] They lead off into
the forest.
[Velma] We'd better follow them.
Right.
While we're doing that. Shaggy,
you and Scooby check for clues
along the lake.
The lake? Like where the ghosts
are?
Then we can meet out there
at Norseman's point.
Let's hurry, the rain can wash
those footprints away.
Like so far so good, Scoob.
Haven't seen, smelled, or heard
a thing.
Zoinks.
[Scooby] What was that?
[Shaggy] Like, I don't know.
Sounds like a
horn with a bad cold.
Look. It's the ghost ship.
Let's head for tall timber,
Scoob.
Right.
[Shaggy laughs]
They'll never get us up here,
Scooby.
Get off. Beat it.
This tree's only strong enough
to hold the two of us.
Oh, boy. Lucky we landed on this
log instead of in the lake.
Look out, Scoob.
Like, we're gonna collide.
Zoinks. A Viking.
We have intruders.
Get them.
Start paddling, Scoob.
What has come aboard
my Viking vessel?
Not us. We're just leaving
your goulship.
Right.
Stop them.
[Shaggy] Come on.
So long, guys.
[loud smack]
Like, who put the mast there?
Now we have them.
Zoinks. Did we get away?
Unh uh.
Zoinks. They're coming after us.
We gotta jump overboard Scoob.
It's our only chance.
Overboard?
Geronimo!
Come on, Scooby.
Just a minute.
Here I come.
Next time, forget your fancy
dives.
[laughs]
Hm. A second pair of footprints
begins here.
[water splashing]
Listen, what's that noise?
Sounds like somebody swimming.
You guys picked a strange time
to take a swim.
Like, it wasn't our idea.
We almost got captured by the
Viking on that ghost ship.
OK, that does it.
We'd better tell the sheriff
what's going on
before we all disappear.
I'm for that.
[Fred] And that's the whole
story Sheriff Swenson.
You have my word kids.
We'll do our very best to locate
this young ladie's uncle.
Has anyone else disappeared?
Yes, look at this.
Two young geologists still
missing.
They were up here three months
ago
doing some research at the
lake.
And no one has seen them since.
[Fred] We think these old Runes
her uncle copied in his log book
may tell us something.
If we could just get them
translated.
The real expert on Vikings
around here
is our museum curator.
But the museum's closed this
time of night.
Well, we'll try anyhow. Maybe
he'll open up for us.
Thank you, Sherriff.
Yes, thank you.
Thanks.
[thunder]
This is it. The Viking museum.
Ooh, what a spooky looking
place.
Like, it seems every place we go
is spooky.
Yeah, and creepy too.
Like, wow. That door knocker
would raise the dead.
Don't say that.
Listen, someone's coming.
Yes?
We're looking for the curator,
Mr. Hansen.
I am Hansen. But the museum
is closed.
Wait, this is an emergency.
Emergency?
Seeing my uncle again may depend
on your help.
Very well. Come in.
[Daphne] It sure is dark in
here.
The storm knocked out our
lights.
Viking heroes. Hm.
A ghost.
[Scooby howls]
Oh, brother. Come out Scoob,
there's nothing to be afraid of.
No Vikings. OK.
Can you tell us anything about
the Vikings?
Several centuries ago the
Vikings settled here
at Viking Lake.
We learned this by translating
Runes
like those your uncle
found.
Can you translate this for us?
I'm afraid I can.
It's an ancient Viking curse.
- Zoinks.
- A curse?
It says that a great evil will
befall those
who disturb the
Viking burial ground.
It looks like your Uncle John
must have found the Viking
burial ground.
And I have a hunch that when we
find the Viking graveyard,
we'll
find my uncle.
Be careful my young friends.
Remember what happened to the
others.
Well, g*ng this is a good a
place as any
to start looking
for the burial ground.
Zoinks. Like what's that?
Relax, Shag. This whole area's
full of underground steam.
Just like Yellowstone Park.
We'd better split up and look
for clues.
We'll go North, and Shaggy and
Scooby you can go South.
If you find anything, yell.
Like. we'll yell, scream, holler
and bark. Right Scoob?
Yeah.
Let's go.
[thunder]
Quick, over here. Look at this.
[Velma] Oh, no. It's my uncle's
fishing hat.
And look up ahead.
Somebody went through, or was
dragged through this way.
Come on.
Look.
A hidden cave.
Follow me and be careful.
[Daphne] Jeepers, it's hot in
here.
[Velma] Hot is right. It's like
a steam bath.
[Daphne] Oh. It's the Viking
ghost.
[Fred] Relax, it's only a
painting.
Wow, then we found the burial
grounds.
That's how they mark
them.
Who dares intrude on our sacred
grounds.
Jeepers, who was that?
Him.
He's blocking the entrance. So
we'll go this way.
Come on.
Phew. We're safe.
Look.
Mighty Odin. Turn your wrath on
these intruders
who profane our
warriors' sacred resting place.
What's happening?
We can't find any clues on an
empty stomach,
like, can we Scooby?
Unh uh.
So how about a steamed hot dog?
Yeah. Definitely. Yum, yum, yum.
Like, here's one for you. And
one for me.
Delicious, right Scoob?
Scooby? Scooby Doo?
Where are you?
[Scooby laughs]
Like will you knock off the
clowning, Scoob?
We've got more important things
to do
like finishing these hot
dogs.
Wherever we are, there's no way
out.
And it seems to be getting
hotter and hotter.
Yeah, like our only hope is for
Shaggy and Scooby to find us.
In other words, we're doomed.
Fred and the girls should have
come back a long time ago Scoob.
We better track 'em down.
Don't tell me.
[Scooby] Uh huh.
In there.
[Shaggy] Like I don't wanna go
in there.
But we gotta find Fred and the
girls, Scoob.
So come on.
Ooh. It's dark and spooky in
here Scooby.
We fooled you.
Let's get out of here Scoob.
Locked. Quick Scoob do
something.
[growling]
Like, come on.
We've gotta hide.
Quick, behind Fat Stuff.
Zoinks. There's no room.
Like give me a hand, Scoob.
Maybe somebody would here us if
we yelled for help.
Help.
[all yelling]
It's Fred and the girls.
Like they're behind here
someplace.
But there's no way to get in.
Good going, Scoob. You found the
secret entrance.
Wow. You two showed up just in
time.
Right. Now we can split out of
here.
Wrong, we're gonna split all
right.
But to start looking for
Velma's uncle John.
[Shaggy] I knew you'd say that
Fred.
[Viking roaring]
Like, welcome to Ole and Lars'
Swedish massage parlor.
Take you hat, sir?
I think Mr. Viking like a
Japanese massage.
Like, maybe the Viking prefers
Tahitian style?
Just a minute Scooby.
I think the best massage for him
is the Russian massage ja?
Da.
Rub down time.
Ha ha ha. How about that. He
left without paying huh?
[laughing]
Boy this tunnel is endless.
No it's not, it dead ends right
here.
Velma look.
My uncle's glasses.
So we've gotta be on the right
track.
There must be a secret exit.
All I see is a mouse hole...
..and a mouse.
[squeals]
Hey. Thanks to the mouse, we
found it.
Come on. Hop aboard.
Like hey, wait for us.
We made it.
[Daphne] We're going down to an
underground cavern.
And look, it's the Viking ghost
ship.
[Fred] It may be a ghost ship,
but that machinery looks real
enough.
[Velma] And I'll bet anything
they've got my uncle down there.
Come on, let's take a closer
look.
Shaggy, you and Scooby keep an
eye on these two,
while we check out the cavern
for Velma's uncle.
Can't we all like stay together,
Fred.
Yeah.
How scared can you be?
I don't know and I don't wanna
find out.
Try to find out what that
machinery is for.
And maybe you'll solve this
mystery.
Come on girls.
You see that, Scoob?
Those creeps are heading right
for the tunnel
where Fred went with the girls.
We gotta stop 'em.
Full speed ahead, Scoob.
We'll get the Vikings to chase
us.
I don't like it either but we
gotta.
Oh, boy.
Hey, Vikings. Yoo hoo. Yoo-hoo.
It's no use, Scoob, they can't
hear us.
[whistles]
Hey, we did it. Now they'll
catch us.
What am I saying?
Help!
Uh oh.
They're gaining on us Scoob.
Think of something to get us out
of here.
Wow. A Scooby-doobee
bike-acopter.
Let's go.
[Vikings roar]
That stopped 'em.
And our next stop is Fred and
the girls.
Steam turbines to make power.
Jeepers. So that's what all the
machinery is for.
But power to do what?
That's the question.
When we answer that we'll solve
the mystery.
But first we've got to find
Uncle John.
[man] Help!
That's my uncle's voice.
[Uncle John] Help! Up here.
[Velma] Don't worry Uncle John,
we'll get you out.
But how?
Hey g*ng.
It's Shaggy and Scooby.
Like look, no hands.
Quick get Uncle John out of the
cage
before the Vikings come
back.
Scooby-copter to the rescue.
Now Scooby you climb on top of
the cage.
We gotta make room for Uncle
John.
Come on, hurry.
Gee.
Like climb aboard Uncle John.
Hang tight Scoob, Be right back.
[sawing noise]
Huh? Oh no.
[Scooby] Help.
Hurry Shaggy? It's the Viking.
Coming right up.
Hey look out.
Jeepers, they're in trouble.
They're gonna crash.
A perfect no point landing.
Yeah.
Shaggy, Scooby. Behind you.
Zoinks, the Vikings.
You will never escape.
We must get them.
Uh oh. We're in trouble, too.
Uncle John, you've gotta go for
help.
We'll keep the Vikings busy.
I'll be right back.
Come on Scoob, we'll hide in
there.
[laughter]
Zoinks. He spotted us.
Oh?
Quick Scoob, we gotta stop him.
[Shaggy] Hurry, hurry.
[Scooby laughs]
Faster girls, they're gaining on
us.
Keep running, Scoob. They'll
never catch us now.
[crash]
Oh boy, what a time to run into
you guys.
Now we have them.
Oh no you don't.
After them.
Quick into that pipe.
Hold it. Give me a hand
and we'll dump those creeps in
the deep.
[Vikings yell]
[all] We did it.
Hooray.
Well Sherriff, there's your
Vikings.
[Daphne] The curator of the
museum.
And the two geologists that were
supposed to be missing.
Well I'll be darned. Good work
kids.
Sherriff, this all began when
the geologists discovered
a rich vein of uranium on the
lake shore.
They dreamed up a scheme with
the museum curator
to frighten folks away with that
Viking legend
while they stole
all that ore.
And they used the natural steam
in the area
to run their mining
machinery.
And if your uncle hadn't caught
them at it Velma,
they might
have gotten away with it.
Not with you kids on the job.
Now, why don't we get on with
that fishing you kids came up
here for?
Yeah, fishing.
Hey, I've got a bite.
Me too.
This is a big one.
I can hardly pull it in.
Don't lose him, Shaggy.
[laughs] What do you know. I
caught me a Dogfish.
[all laugh]
Scooby-dooby doo.
