[Shaggy] That's my pal.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

[laughs]

It is the Ghostly Gondolier!

[people clamoring]

'He has struck again!'

Soon the Doge's treasure will be mine.

So this is Venice.

Yeah, it sure was nice of our friend Antonio

to invite us for a visit.

[bell rings]

[Shaggy] Like, it's the only city where fish have the right of way.

Well, we better find a gondola.

Shaggy, you and Scooby get the luggage.

- Okay. - Like, lay it on me, Scoob.

[Velma] Hurry up, guys, we're meeting Antonio at his pizza parlor

'and it closes soon.'

- Pizza? - Like, that means food.

Double-time it, Scoob!

[grunts]

Whoa! Hold on there, Scoob.

Ah!

thud

[Daphne] 'Well, there's our luggage.'

Yeah, and it looks like we'll need two boats.

Where's the other gondolier?

There is no one else. Only me.

Scooby, you'll have to be the gondolier.

Okay, Fred.

Do not get lost in the fog.

♪ Oh so lonely oh I cannot wait ♪

♪ That Venice pizza ♪

♪ Will sure taste great ♪♪

[laughs]

- Like, what's so funny, Scoob? - Shaggy, l-look!

[Shaggy] 'There's nothing there.'

[teeth chattering]

[shudders] S-Shaggy.

You must be seeing things, Scoob.

O-over there.

Like, I don't see..

[grunts]

- Yikes! - Yikes!

- Whoa! - Whoa!

- Help! - Help!

vroom

[grunts]

Now that's what I call door-to-door service.

We were attacked by a g-g-g-ghost.

A ghost? You're joking.

[male #1] Sometimes the fog plays strange tricks, my dear.

[male #1 chuckles]

Like the gondolier said, it was probably the fog.

Come on, Antonio's expecting us.

[Velma] 'It's so good to see you again, Antonio.'

I am glad you could come.

We've got a lot to talk about, but you must be hungry.

Just point us to the kitchen and leave everything to us.

- Right, Scoob? - Right, Shaggy.

[Shaggy] First, some home-made spaghetti.

[squeaking]

Hey, Scooby, does this machine sound broken to you?

Sounds okay to me.

And when I am not working here

I'm still studying art at the academy.

What about your famous ancestor, Doge Malvolio IV?

[Antonio] 'He remains a mystery.'

'His treasure has never been recovered.'

'We can't even find his portrait.'

But he must have left something behind?

Only four golden medallions.

Like the one around my neck.

And one of them has recently disappeared.

Here you go, Scooby!

I got 'em, Shaggy.

Look, a leaning tower of pizza.

Make sure they're sliced, Scoob.

Coming right up.

[whirring]

I have never had a pizza served like this before.

Hold on, Scoob, I forgot one.

screech

thud

Mm! Delicious.

That was delicious. Thank you, Antonio.

Don't thank me, thank Scooby and Shaggy--

Antonio! Antonio! Professor Salari sent me.

This is my friend, Mario.

He and I studied together at the academy.

I have terrible news.

The Ghostly Gondolier has struck again.

'He's taken the medallion from the opera.'

That means only two are left.

Who's the Ghostly Gondolier?

[Antonio] 'We had better see the professor at once.'

'He'll explain.'

[Antonio] 'This is the academy of fine arts where I study.'

These are my ancestors.

[Daphne] 'I can tell. They all have green eyes like you.'

But no portrait of Doge Malvolio.

No, but come.

'Professor Salari's office is this way.'

- Shaggy? - 'Over here, Scoob.'

Doesn't this guy look familiar?

That's him!

Oh, you're interested in the Ghostly Gondolier?

No way. Like, we've already met.

How curious.

He's been dead for 500 years.

You mean, he really is a g-g..

Ghost?

So there you are, Professor Salari.

My friends and I were looking for you.

I was just about to tell these two

about the Ghostly Gondolier.

Terrific. We'd love to hear, wouldn't we, g*ng?

It was in the time of Doge Malvolio IV..

For the crime of high treason

I, Doge Malvolio IV

sentence you to the dungeons for life!

Fool, no dungeon will hold me.

My spirit will roam and curse this city forever.

[laughs]

[Professor Salari] Soon after his escape

enemy armies found their way

through the secret defenses of Venice

led by the Ghostly Gondolier.

Doge Malvolio was overthrown and his fortune vanished.

'All that remained of his wealth were four medallions.'

Like the one Antonio wears.

But now only two remain.

Where is the other medallion?

It is in the palace museum next door.

'Professor Salari's got the keys. He is the curator.'

We'd better make sure it's safe.

Take these.

Bring them back when you're done.

I have important work I must finish.

Hm. I wonder if that creepy gondolier is following us.

Like, he's probably looking for fish hikers.

[laughs] Get it, Scoob?

Nope.

[Shaggy] 'This is quite a pad, eh, Scooby?'

[Scooby] Yeah.

Well, here it is.

[gasps] It's beautiful.

- Here. - Uh, like, let me see.

Take a look, Scoob.

Come on, guys, let Daphne try it on.

Here, uh, Daphne.

- Daphne, look out! - It's the Ghostly Gondolier!

[grunting]

screech screech

Like, take cover!

Not all the covers, Scoob!

Help!

[grunts]

And who do we have here?

Uh, just us chickens.

[grunts]

[Scooby] Yeow!

Like, help! The ghost has got us!

Well, where's the ghost?

Jinkies! Where's Daphne?

Fred? Velma?

[laughs]

[Daphne] 'Help! Let me go!'

- Daphne's in trouble! - Let's go!

Help!

[Shaggy] 'Zoinks! The ghost's got Daphne!'

[sobbing] Daphne.

And the third medallion.

Come on, we can still catch them.

Shaggy, you and Scoob go this way

and try to head 'em off.

The rest of us will cross this bridge

and close in from behind.

Like, I hope the others catch that ghost before we do.

Me too.

[Shaggy] Yikes! There he is! Get him, Scoob!

[grunts]

- Yikes! - Yikes!

Zoinks! That was close.

Uh-oh.

- Whoa! - Whoa!

twang

[Antonio] We have got him now.

- Look out! - Ugh!

Like, boy, do you look ridiculous.

[laughs]

Like, what goes opera must come down.

Come on. He's getting away.

- He's vanished. - Like, that's impossible.

Hm, I wonder what this is?

Come on, we've got to find Daphne.

[gasps]

[laughing]

Let those who cross my path..

...beware!

[laughing]

How are we going to find Daphne now?

Maybe we'll find some answers back at the academy.

Mario, the gondolier has struck again.

He's got Daphne.

We're on our way to the academy now.

- We need your help. - Let's go.

[Professor Salari] Yes, there are records of Doge Malvolio's portrait

but we've never found the painting itself.

[Velma] Something tells me there's a connection

between that painting and the Ghostly Gondolier.

[Professor Salari] 'We do have other paintings from the same period.'

'Some upstairs, and some in the basement.'

[Antonio] 'That is right, Mario and I were restoring'

a couple of old paintings just this week.

I think we should search this place from top to bottom.

Right, we'll have to split up.

'Scoob, you and Shaggy go with Antonio into the basement.'

- Basement? - Like, dark and dingy?

Antonio, like, wait up.

Good luck with your search, my friends.

The paintings Antonio and I were working on are down this way.

It's locked. The keys are in Antonio's office.

I'll get them.

Poor Daphne.

I hope we can find her and solve this mystery.

[Mario] 'No! Get away! Help!'

Quick, it's Mario!

[Ghostly Gondolier laughs]

[Ghostly Gondolier] 'Now the last medallion is mine!'

Jinkies! What a mess.

The Gondolier must have thought Mario was Antonio

and grabbed him by mistake.

[Velma] 'Red plastic. I think we found a clue.'

We'd better find Scooby and Shag.

We'll need help looking for Daphne and Mario.

We better tell Professor Salari too.

- Professor Salari? - Professor Salari?

He's not here. Let's see if we can find the others.

The ghost!

[Antonio] Don't worry, Scooby, it can't hurt you.

- It is only a painting. - A painting? Hm!

[laughs]

Scooby, grab hold of my hand so we don't get separated.

And grab Antonio too.

click

Scooby, look.

Where's Antonio?

[grunts]

[Scooby] 'Yikes!'

Like, help!

[dramatic music]

[laughs]

[clicking]

He must have Antonio. We've got to save him.

[Scooby] Right, Shaggy.

The Ghostly Gondolier's got Mario.

Oh, my gosh, he's got Antonio too.

[whimpers]

- Look, footprints. - Let's go.

- Whoa! - Whoa!

Look! The ghost! Let's get him!

[Scooby grunts]

It looks like we lost him.

Yeow!

[Ghostly Gondolier] Sink to the bottom, you fools!

crack

Whoa!

[Shaggy] Like, Scooby would rather fly than swim.

[grunts]

It's the missing portrait of the Doge.

- 'Help! Help!' - 'Help! Help!'

That sounds like Daphne and Antonio.

- 'Shaggy!' - 'And Scooby!'

Boy, are we glad to see you.

But where's Mario?

You mean, the Ghostly Gondolier grabbed him too?

That's right. Are you two okay?

Yes. The gondolier was only after the medallion.

[Shaggy] 'Like, come on out here and take a look.'

'The Doge is wearing all of 'em around his neck'

[Antonio] Doge Malvolio IV, and the family treasure.

The four small medallions fit together to make one big one.

But what about Mario?

I will look for him here. You go on.

I think we've just about solved this mystery.

Come on, we've got to find the gondolier.

Like, we can't. We don't know where he is.

- Right, Scoob? - Yeah.

[Velma] 'I think I do. The Piazza San Marco.'

Huh?

[dramatic music]

[Velma] 'There he is.'

This way!

[Daphne] This place looks like it's been undisturbed for 500 years.

[Shaggy] 'Like, why don't we leave it that way?'

twang twang twang

[Ghostly Gondolier laughs]

Shh!

[Ghostly Gondolier laughs]

The lost treasure of Malvolio IV

and now it's mine, all mine!

[exhaling]

Ah, ah..

Ah, ah..

Achoo!

Zoinks! Let's get out of here!

[intense music]

[Ghostly Gondolier grunts]

- Yikes! - Yikes!

Shaggy, look!

[Shaggy] Way to go, Scooby!

[creaking]

- Hurry, Shaggy! - Come on, Scoob!

[groans]

[creaking]

[grunts]

[creaking]

[both scream]

[screaming]

Fred, Velma, D-Daphne!

Look out! Behind you!

[both whimpering]

[instrumental music]

[bell tolling]

Uh, Scoob, we've got company.

Uh-oh.

[grunts]

[grunting]

- Up here, Shaggy. - Coming right up.

But I feel like I'm gettin' weak in the knees!

crack

- Whoa! - Whoa!

[both screaming]

Help!

Help!

thud

[Scooby screaming]

swoosh

[grunts]

[Daphne] Scooby, are you alright?

thud

[Fred] 'It's Mario!'

And so, you see, Mario is a descendent

'of Doge Malvolio too'

'from another branch of the family.'

He knew the legend of the missing treasure

but didn't wanna share it with the only

'other descendent, Antonio.'

'So he concealed his one distinctive family trait'

'to keep his search a secret.'

'Green eyes.'

[Fred] 'That explains the red plastic'

'we found in the academy.'

Right, a red contact lens

over green eyes makes them brown.

Oh, when Mario was restoring the old painting

he discovered the lost portrait of the Doge.

Right. He saw he needed the four medallions to find the treasure.

So he used the legend of the Ghostly Gondolier

to convince everyone that the thefts

were part of the supernatural curse.

[Velma] 'Not only that'

'but Mario could deflate his rubber gondola'

'instantly to get out of tight spots'

no normal gondola could squeeze through.

And then re-inflate it with this.

'A cylinder filled with compressed CO2.'

Like the one we found by the side of the canal.

Zoinks! Like, who's that?

Relax, guys, it's only the gondolier

who took us to the pizza parlor.

I have been looking for you.

Here are your car keys.

[laughs] They fell out of your pocket

while you were riding in my gondola.

I've been chasing you all over Venice

trying to give them back to you.

[both chuckling]

Now that we've solved the mystery

we can get down to some serious eating.

- Right. - Scooby! Shaggy!

Watch where you're going!

Right.. Yeow!

Blub, like, we should have

blub, ordered submarine sandwiches.

Yeah!

[both laugh]

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
