[instrumental music]

whoosh

[thunder rumbles]

[intense music]

[windows creaking]

[Olivia] 'No, I didn't.'

'Uh, the-the cat..'

'I.. The cat.'

[thunder rumbling]

[gasping] It wasn't me.

The cat!

'Oh. Oh.'

beep beep

[growls]

[growling]

Cab! Hey, taxi!

Yoo-hoo! We need a cab here!

honk honk

It's no use, guys.

We'll never get a cab in New York with a storm coming.

[Shaggy] 'Well, at least we won't starve while we wait.'

Scooby and I've found a place that sells mile long hotdogs.

chomp

Yeah, mile long.

chomp chomp

Hotdog.

chomp

slurp

Scooby, you ate the whole hotdog yourself.

Oh, no.

chomp chomp

gulp

[sighs] Now.

[Shaggy] 'Like, thanks a lot, old pal'

'old buddy, old Scoob.'

[Daphne] 'It's okay, Shaggy.'

Aunt Olivia will fix you

something in her apartment.

If we ever get there, Daphne.

We still can't get a cab.

I'll get it.

You, Scoob? Get a cab?

Mm-hm.

[blows whistles]

[screams]

[grunting]

Watch out, Scooby!

You could get hurt!

I am, I am.

clang clang

Like, what's going on in there?

"Bixby Jewelers."

The windows are all fogged up.

[squealing]

[growls]

[screams]

What is it, Shaggy?

Did you see something?

Worse. Something saw me!

[Velma] 'Something in the jewelry store?'

[Fred] Let me have a look.

It's horrible, Fred. All that hair.

All those teeth!

[Fred] 'Well, there's nothing there now.'

But it looks like something tore the place up.

[instrumental music]

[gasps]

[growling]

Oh!

[panting]

Oh!

Oh, no!

thud

[Shaggy] 'Scooby!'

'Scooby-Doo, where are you?'

Oh-oh-oh!

- Shaggy? - 'Scooby!'

clang clang

Down there, oh, I saw this thing

in-in the tunnel, it was awful.

It was, it was big like that!

A cat creature?

You saw it too?

Uh-huh, yeah, yeah.

[siren blaring]

The burglar alarm rings in my apartment.

That's when I called you.

I'd like you to check it out.

[Daphne] Mr. Bixby, you must owned the jewelry store.

My entire collection of jewels completely wiped out.

'I don't care about the rest of the jewels'

'only the Richmond ruby.'

A cat creature and a jewel theft.

It looks like we've got a mystery on our hands.

Uh, well, I wash my hands to this whole thing.

Me too.

Some cat like creature

must have tunneled into the store

robbed the place, then gone back out the same way.

Where Scooby saw him.

Let's check it out right now.

That storm is moving pretty fast, Velma.

Uh, like, right. Let's get to Daphne's aunts place.

And check this out tomorrow.

Hey, hey, what's this on you collar, Scoob?

[Velma] 'It looks like an emerald.'

Like I told you, never to accept gifts from strangers.

'Especially, cat creatures'

which is about as strange as you can get.

vroom

[male #1] 'Here it is, kids. York Towers.'

'Strange things happens there.'

Some people go in and never come out.

[chuckles]

These New York cab drivers really has a sense of humor.

I wasn't joking.

Ha-ha-ha!

[sobbing] I was afraid of that.

[Daphne] 'Come on, Shaggy, we'll get soaked out here.'

It's better than getting spooked in there.

Where do you think you're going?

If I have a choice, home springs would be nice.

My aunt live here. Olivia Dervy?

- She expects you? - 'Yes.'

[Daphne] Can we go in now?

[instrumental music]

Our valet will be along with our bags.

Thank you.

Oh, boy, an old cage elevator.

They haven't build these in years.

Punch the top floor for us, will you, Scoob?

ding

[growling]

[Daphne] She's got to be home.

I wrote her, we'd be arriving tonight.

[door bell buzzing]

[growls]

zap zap

What? Where?

I-I'm coming.

I'm coming.

[dramatic music]

[Olivia] Who is it?

It's me, Aunt Olivia.

'Daphne. And-and my friends.'

Daphne.

Inside, quickly.

'Strange things are happening, Daphne.'

'You shouldn't have come.'

[both gulp]

Uh, strange happenings?

Yeah. Strange?

You'll never believe it.

I'll have to show you. Wait here.

[gasp] 'This jewelry wasn't here earlier.'

This place gives me the creeps.

It's just old, Shaggy.

Yeah? Well, so is Count Dracula.

[Olivia] I'd better start at the beginning.

Two weeks ago, a strange package was delivered.

[door bell buzzes]

Yes?

What's this?

[Olivia] I took the package inside.

Unwrapped it and found a strange medallion.

It look valuable.

And I assumed someone had made a mistake

Thinking someone would claim it, I kept it.

And that night I had an incredible nightmare.

I-I dreamed I turned into..

[growling]

...a cat creature.

[growling]

In this form, I would go out and commit robberies.

I couldn't help myself.

And look what I found in my room tonight.

Look at this emerald earring.

Just like the one Scooby found.

Oh, my gosh! She is the cat creature.

'Le me out of here!'

Me too!

[Daphne] 'Scooby, Shaggy, Aunt Olivia needs help.'

Yeah? Well, we'll send the national guard!

[together] Yikes!

It's alright, children. This is my doctor.

Dr. Bell.

'He's been treating my, uh, nervous condition.'

[gulps] Like, I'd be nervous too

if I was turning into a cat creature.

Hey, what's this?

Well, that's the wrapping paper the cat medallion came in.

[Fred] And it's got a return address.

Ms. Dervy, we'll see if we can help you.

That clue should give us a good start.

Nice to have met you, Dr. Bell.

Yes.

[instrumental music]

Shaggy, the girls and I will check out the return address.

You and Scoob see what you can find at the jewelry store.

Like, there is no way I'm going back

to that jewelry store tonight, Fred.

Than you and Scooby check out the address

and we'll go to the store.

That's better.

Boy, Scoob, we sure put one over on them.

Yeah!

[both laughing]

This address is only two blocks from the apartment.

We'll be back in no time.

Hey, here it is now.

"3-0-5-6, East Westmore."

And it's a..

...a cemetery.

Uh, cemetery?

[Shaggy] 'Oh, no!'

This prescription should help, Mr. Dervy.

Thank you. Thank you very much, Dr. Bell.

zap zap

[growls]

[growling]

[thunder rumbling]

[Bixby] 'I don't really care about getting all the jewels back.'

Just the most valuable piece.

'The Richmond Ruby.'

- 'Oh, how pretty?' - 'Oh, wow.'

We'd like to help you, Mr. Bixby.

Do you mind if we check the store for clues?

Help yourselves.

Don't bother locking up when you leave.

There's nothing left anyway.

I didn't see anything like this in Aunt Olivia's jewelry.

Me neither. That's strange.

[Velma] So is this, Fred.

I'll bet this is how the cat creature got in and out.

Good work, Velma.

Let's check it out.

Well, I guess we gotta check it out.

You first, Scooby.

Uh-uh. You first.

It's an old custom, Scoob, dogs before chickens.

[clucking]

Now, what would you father say if he saw you like that?

[crowing]

whoosh

- It's the cat creature! - Run!

[laughing]

It was only the gate.

Oh!

thud

Oh! Is anybody home?

[laughing]

Isn't that funny, Scoob?

Who'd be home in a cemetery?

Yeah. He-he-he!

I don't get it.

[growling]

The return says "Thirteen B."

- Look. - "Thirteen-B"

Ha! I guess it's just ahead.

Yeow! It's the cat creature!

[screaming]

Wait, Scoob!

It's just a statue.

It-it's only a marble statue.

Oh, boy, this is one return address

I never wanna return to again.

Let's get out of here.

[both gasps]

Wait. It's a statue.

bonk bonk

[laughing]

[growling]

Oops.

Oh! Scooby, that's no statue!

That's the cat creature!

[growling]

[Shaggy] 'Run!'

[growls]

Reverse your engine, Scoob!

Who-o-a!

Let me off this merry go round!

[growling]

crash

[growling]

How far does this tunnel go?

It seems like miles.

[cat meows]

What was that?

It sounded like a cat!

Look!

[meows]

[Daphne] 'Ah, it's the cat creature!'

[meows]

- Oh. - Oh.

It's only an alley cat.

If he got in, there must be a way out up ahead.

So let's find it.

[instrumental music]

[Shaggy] See, if you can find a light switch, Scooby.

How's that?

Like, close enough.

- Yikes! - Relax, Scoob, relax.

It's just another statue.

bonk bonk

[Shaggy] The place is crawlin' with them.

And listen to this.

'"The cat creature who shall rise again."'

'Ooh. Don't look now, Scoob, but I think he's rising now.'

[screams]

boing

[Shaggy] 'Go away, whatever you are.'

Oh, my goodness, I can't look.

Me neither.

thud

So this is where the tunnel leads.

[Shaggy] 'Velma!'

Huh?

Shaggy, Scooby, well, what are you doing here?

[stuttering] Resting..

...but not in peace.

[growling]

clank

[growling]

You mean, there's no way out?

Like, there never was a big market for tomb exits, Daphne.

[laughing]

[growling]

[Daphne] 'It's the cat creature.'

[growling]

[Fred] Run!

[growling]

It's got me! Scooby!

Scooby-Doo!

This way, guys. We found the door.

screech

Like, let's use it.

[growling]

creak creak

[growling]

[Shaggy] 'Red hot! Red hot!'

'Get your red hot hotdogs right here.'

[growls]

Take my word, you'll love it, sir.

- A little ketchup. - Ketchup.

- Mustard. - Mustard.

- And some relish. - Relish.

There you go, sir. Bite right in.

chomp

[screaming]

Uh, stop in again anytime, sir.

Let's go, Scoob!

Scooby-Doo!

[thunder rumbling]

I think your Aunt Olivia

definitely has a problem, Daphne.

[Velma] Hey, where is Haswell the doorman?

[Daphne] 'Probably on a break.'

vroom

[intense music]

Thank you for coming so quickly, Dr. Bell.

Yes, thank you.

I-I just don't know what's happening to me.

This prescription should help.

'I'll check back in the morning'

'and see how you are doing, Miss Dervy.'

Aunt Olivia, what's that in your hand?

It-it looks like a piece of cloth.

This was ripped from Shaggy's shirt by..

The cat creature.

Then it's true.

I am the cat creature.

Not necessarily, Ms. Dervy.

And I have got a plan to find out for sure

what's happening.

- Why us? - Yeah, why us?

Don't worry, we'll be right outside the door.

Besides, what better protection against a cat creature

than a guard dog.

[intense music]

Yeah, but this guard dog is a scaredy cat.

[together] Yikes!

Scoob, did you close the window?

- Nope. - I think you better.

[babbling]

[thunder rumbling]

[yelping]

[growling]

Shaggy?

[growling]

Shaggy?

[screaming]

[growling]

Scooby-Doo!

What goin' on, Shaggy? Shaggy?

[Daphne] 'Oh, no. Now, the cat creature's got Shaggy and Scooby.'

[growling]

[Fred] Head for the stairs!

screech

Going down.

[blows raspberry]

[growling]

Faster. Faster.

[glass shatters]

Help! Help!

Oh, no. The creature's in the elevator with Scooby.

Help! Somebody help me!

Oh, help! Oh, my God!

[Velma] 'We've got to get to the control box.'

Good idea, Velma.

We'll just push the elevator's power

'and have Scooby down in no time.'

[buzzing]

thud

Going down.

thud

thump

[growling]

thud

[Fred] 'Good work, Scooby.'

[Velma] 'You did it.'

[in unison] 'Dr. Bell?'

I don't understand.

It's simple, Aunt Olivia.

Dr. Bell was using you as a front

to commit his robberies.

He hypnotized you with this medallion

into thinking you were the cat creature.

And he sent that phony cat medallion.

We know that because the handwriting

matches the handwriting on the prescription

'he gave us.'

But-but why me?

Hmph, because you responded to hypnosis

better than any other patient I ever had.

It was a snap.

He would leave just enough jewels with you

to convince you that you were guilty.

'And kept the valuable pieces for himself.'

[Daphne] 'Like the Richmond ruby.'

But-but where's your friend Shaggy?

This whole place is full of secret rooms and panels.

Watch.

[gears clanking]

[snoring]

[yawning]

Hey, everybody. Like, what's goin' on?

Shaggy!

Ooh! Shaggy! Shaggy!

slurp slurp

Ooh, ooh, Shaggy.

[Shaggy] Wait. Hey! How do you stop this thing?

Help!

Shaggy! Scooby!

[Shaggy] 'We're okay, Fred.'

What are you doing out there?

Oh, just hangin' around. Eh, Scoob?

[laughing]

Yeah! He-he-he!
