[man on PA] Good evening, race fans.

We're covering the Grand Prix

- time trials. - [motors revving]

And Mr. Osbourne, sponsor of the race,

is here to describe the action for us.

Yes. [clears throat]

The first driver to attempt to qualify

will be Carl Conover in car 49.

- [motor revving] - And here he comes.

- [engine humming] - Oh, no.

The Phantom Racer is back!

[maniacal laughter]

He's after another victim!

[maniacal laughter]

[laughter continues]

- [gasps] - Only the Phantom

emerged from the fog!

Conover's car 49 has... has disappeared!

[Fred] Wow. Listen to this.

The Legend of the Phantom Racer has become a reality

at the Grand Prix time trials.

- Phantom Racer? - Let's see, Fred.

Mmmm-mmm!

Oh, Scooby. No one eats an ice-cream sundae with a straw.

Scooby-Doo do.

[slurping]

[laughs]

Phantom made a race car and its driver vanish in the fog.

That's nothing. Like, watch me make this malt vanish.

[slurps]

[snickers]

Take a look at this creep.

- [Daphne] Jeepers. - [Shaggy] Zoinks!

Eww! That's the Phantom?!

[slurps]

Right. And we're going to the racetrack

and find out more about him. Come on!

Like, I was afraid you were gonna say that, Fred.

[gulps] Me too.

- [sign squeaking] - [Daphne] What is known

about the Phantom Racer, Mr. Osbourne?

Very little, Velma.

A Grand Prix driver went off a cliff in the fog

many years ago.

The legend is that his ghost prowls these roads

in a Phantom race car,

seeking vengeance on all race drivers.

- Zoinks! - Well, I'm not gonna be

his next victim, Osbourne.

I'm pulling out of this race.

Ha. No Phantom is gonna scare me off.

Right. You can count on me, Mr. Osbourne.

- Me too. - [Mr. Osbourne] Thank you, men.

If I have to cancel this race I'm afraid I'll be ruined.

Don't worry, Mr. Osbourne.

We'll solve this mystery for you.

- [door opens] - [growling]

Zoinks!

[growling]

[chuckles] It's the Phantom!

That's not the Phantom.

It's the missing driver, Conover.

[Daphne] Jeepers. That driver looked like

he came back from the dead.

[Shaggy] He looked worse than dead.

Like, I wonder what the Phantom did to him.

- Yeah. - We'll never know.

He couldn't remember a thing about what happened.

[laughs] He's lucky. Like, I wish I couldn't.

[Fred] We're approaching the fog now, g*ng.

So keep your eyes peeled for clues.

[Daphne] Hold it, Fred.

I see something.

Tire tracks. And only race cars have tires that wide.

- Jeepers, look! - That's strange.

The inside tracks just disappear.

Just like the Phantoms victims.

- [gulps] - [Shaggy] Let's us disappear!

- Like back to the malt shop. - Yeah.

These tire tracks must belong to the Phantom race car.

- Let's follow 'em. - Huh-uh

Oh, come on.

This time you're not chickening out on us.

- Right, Scoob? - [imitates chicken clucking]

[laughs]

Like, nice try, Scoob.

[sinister laugh]

Hey, look.

The tracks leave the road.

Let's see where they go. You lead, Scoob.

[gulps] Who, me?

Well, if the Phantom's around,

your keen nose will sniff him out.

Nose?

What nose?

Get going.

Geez.

[sniffing]

[gulps] Monster!

Cool it, super chicken. It's only a junkyard.

Junkyard? Ohh. [laughs]

This mystery is getting mysterious-er all the time.

- Look! - [Daphne] Wow!

These tracks just disappear like the others.

Well, so much for finding the Phantom.

- Let's go home. - Right on.

Not so fast. Look!

[Fred] A jet plane with the engine missing.

[Velma] What would a plane be doing in an auto junkyard?

Zoinks! What's that?

Yoo-hoo! Anybody home?

Come on.

- [door creaks] - [footsteps]

What are you youngun's doing here?

We're looking for the Phantom of the Grand Prix Race, sir.

- [man] Phantom? - Yeah. Phantom.

[imitates race car]

[cackles]

[crash]

Ohh. That Phantom. You won't find him here.

I've seen him lots of times.

He's been haunting the old antique car museum on the hill.

Thank you, sir. And that's our next stop.

- [car door opens] - [Velma] Antique Car Museum.

Like, why couldn't he haunt an antique pizza parlor?

[Scooby-Doo laughs] Yeah.

- It's locked. - How are we gonna get in?

- I had to ask. - Yeah.

You're doing great. You can open the door from the inside for us.

[branch cracking]

[both] Whoa!

[crash]

[laughs]

Let's split up.

If we're lucky, we'll find the Phantom.

[chuckles] You mean, if we're lucky,

- we won't find him. - Yeah. [laughs]

[maniacal laughter]

[growls]

[both yell] Help!

[laughing]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[laughs]

[grunts]

[honks]

[laughs]

[laughing] That showed him, Scoob!

[crash]

[laughing]

No sign of the Phantom around here.

Wonder if Shag and Scooby have seen him.

[Shaggy and Scooby] Help!

That answer your question? Come on!

- [door shuts] - [laughing]

[both] Help! Help!

[laughing]

- Oh, no! - Shaggy!

- Scooby! - [both] Help!

[both] Whoa! Help!

Let's go!

[yelling]

Whew!

Like, we made it, Scoob.

Oh, boy. We're still alive.

Yeah. [laughs]

[birds cawing]

[nervous chuckle] Zoinks!

Like, they believe it.

[gulps] Let's get out of here.

- [crash] - [all] Whoa!

Are you guys all right?

[Phantom laughing]

- [Daphne] Jeepers! - It's him again!

[whimpers]

Remember my warning,

No one in the Grand Prix race will escape my vengeance!

[maniacal laugh]

[motor revs]

Yikes. We've gotta get back and stop the next racer.

And fast!

[motor revs]

Zoinks! Like, we're too late.

[Daphne] Ken Rogers is trying to qualify right now.

- [motor revving] - And here comes the Phantom.

Scoob?

[Daphne] Jeepers! The Phantom's so fast, no one can escape!

[Fred] If Rogers is caught in the Valley of No Return,

he's doomed!

[maniacal laughter]

Zoinks! Like, the Phantom did it again.

Look! More tire tracks.

This time there's a difference.

Rogers car left tracks but the Phantom's car didn't.

Maybe his tires erase their own tracks,

like rubber erasers, huh?

[laughing]

Well, if we're gonna solve this mystery,

there's only one thing left to do.

Like, I got a feeling I'll be sorry I ask

but, I'll ask. What, Fred?

By getting the Phantom to chase us.

I knew it! I'm sorry.

- Me too. - [both gulp]

[Daphne] This race car Mr. Osbourne loaned us

will be perfect.

Right, Velma.

When Shaggy and Scooby drive this car

- into the Valley of No Return, - [gulps]

the Phantom will come after them.

Come after us?

[both] Huh-uh. And huh-uh.

Oh, relax, you two.

We'll be right behind the Phantom to follow him

when he starts chasing you

But... but what if he grabs us first?

Yeah.

I've rigged up a special

parachute ejection seat in the car.

If he gets too close, pull this lever

and we'll pick you up as soon as you float down.

Well, it sounds OK

but I'd feel better if we had one more thing.

- What's that? - [crying]

- Some other plan. - Yeah. [gulps]

[motors revving]

Here come Shag and Scooby.

[Daphne] Jeepers. They're really burning up the road.

No wonder, look!

[sinister laugh]

[Fred] The Phantom's right on their tail.

Come on. Our decoy worked.

I just hope our decoys

don't turn out to be dead ducks.

[gulps] Faster, faster!

Zoinks! I'm giving her all she's got, Scoob.

Do something, Scooby!

Oh-h*-h*. It's no use, Scoob.

He's gaining on us.

[laughing]

Faster, Fred. Faster!

The Phantom's gaining on them.

Whoa! Like, let's eject! Fast!

[gulps]

[both] Whoa!

Pop the chute, Scoob!

Whew. Oh, boy. That was close.

Oh! Look!

[laughing]

Oh, no!

Help!

[both] Help!

[whimpers]

Hang on, we're going into that fog after Shag and Scooby.

Jeepers! Stop, Fred. Stop!

[Velma] Yikes! It's a ghost!

Come on, let's grab it!

[crash]

We got him!

[Scooby-Doo] Help!

This ghost sounds like a Scooby.

Whew!

[laughs]

Scooby, where's Shaggy?

The Phantom got him.

Quick, which way did they go?

The junkyard.

Help! Let me go.

[laughing]

[Shaggy] Oh-h*-h*-h*. Help!

Yikes! These Phantom tracks end in the junkyard

- just like before. - Oh, poor Shaggy.

Now he's disappeared into thin air.

Shaggy!

Shaggy!

He's got to be around here somewhere.

Let's split up and look for him.

[screeching]

Yuck!

Shaggy.

Shaggy?

Shag! The Phantom's got me!

It's only me. [laughs]

Jeepers. Looks like the old watchman has vanished too.

Let's have another look inside.

I'll turn the lights on so we can see better.

Yikes!

Daph, where are you?

Down here, Fred.

Wow, a cavern. Stay there, Daph.

We'll come down and check it out.

This is really weird and I've got a hunch

the Phantom's got Shaggy down here.

The Phantom? Down here?

[whimpers]

But why would the Phantom in an underground cavern?

That's what we're going to find out, Daph.

Now let's split up and look for him.

Wow! Look at that!

Conover's car, Rogers car and Shaggy's car.

It looks like somebody's started to repaint them.

But why?

Hey, this is strange.

A book on magic tricks.

[Daphne] And how to hypnotize.

I wonder what kind of magic tricks our Phantom is up to.

- Yikes! - [gulps]

- [Velma] The Phantom race car. - [Scooby-Doo]

But where's Shaggy?

Let's take a closer look at that Phantom racer.

Hmm. Very interesting.

[Phantom laughing]

It's the Phantom!

He's over that way. Come on!

[whimpers]

[laughing]

Just my luck, a Phantom who's an expert brick layer.

You've caused trouble for the last time.

Oh, no.

He's sealing Shaggy up inside the wall.

[gulps] We gotta save him.

And I know how.

Look. We'll use that soap powder.

Come on.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[Shaggy yelps]

- Velma! Scooby! - [growls]

Yikes. Now ya did it.

[growls]

We gotta go back for Shaggy, Scoob.

Boy, am I glad to see you.

- We'll get you out, Shag. - Yeah.

[squeaking]

[growling]

I wonder where the others are.

[Shaggy] Help!

That sounds like Shag.

- We found Shaggy. - And the Phantom.

And we've found enough clues to wrap up this mystery.

- [growling] - [Daphne] He's back!

Everybody into the race car, fast!

He'll never catch us now.

Like, hang on, Scoob!

[motor revving]

Faster, Shaggy! Faster!

[laughing]

[Shaggy] Yow!

[Daphne] Hooray! We lost the Phantom!

Yeah, but we've lost Shaggy and Scooby too.

We better go back and look for them. They may need help.

[tires screech]

Shaggy, look.

Zoinks! Do something!

Whew!

Oh, boy. Like, that was close.

- [crash] - Uh-oh.

Oh, no.

[both] Yow!

Quick! Do something, Scoob!

There they go, with the Phantom right on their tail.

- [Phantom yells] - [crash]

[growling]

- Yippee! - We treed the Phantom!

Yeah. [laughs]

Now let's see who the Phantom really is.

Ta-da!

- [Mr. Osbourne] Ken Rogers! - [Fred] Right.

He faked his own disappearance as part of his plan

to steal all the race cars and sell them overseas.

And he covered up his scheme

by using the Legend of the Phantom Racer.

Our first clue was that airplane fuselage.

[Daphne] Rogers put its jet engine in his car,

which is why it was so fast and made that weird noise.

- [humming] - [Scooby-Doo] Hmm.

[Daphne] Rogers also rigged up

the car like a lumber carrier,

so he could pick up another car with magnets

and carry it off to his secret cavern beneath the junkyard.

And, like, then he'd hypnotize the drivers

so they would blank out and never remember what happened.

- Yeah. - But how did he

make himself disappear?

Simple. That wasn't a Phantom we saw chasing Rogers,

it was a projected image from a projector in his car.

Hmm. Well, that wraps it up.

Except for the old watchman at the junkyard.

That was also Rogers in disguise

trying to throw us off his track.

He could've made a fortune selling those

repainted race cars.

And I would've succeeded if it hadn't been for you nosy kids.

- And Scooby-Doo! - Yeah. [laughs]

[man on PA] This is it, race fans.

The start of the Grand Prix.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

[engines roaring]

Congratulations, Mr. Osbourne.

You're running this race after all.

Thanks to the youngsters and Scooby, no more Phantom.

Yikes!

A Phantom bone!

Phantom bone?

[sniffing]

Mmmm!

[imitates race car]

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
