The Mystery Begins: Summer Jobs and a Monster Attack
School is out for summer, and the Mystery Inc. gang is ready for new adventures! Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo meet up with Fred and Daphne. They are heading to a country club in Erie Point. Daphne's uncle, Thornton "Thorny" Blake V, has given them summer jobs there. This helps them pay for damage from a past mystery.
The Lake Monster Appears
On the opening night of the club, a huge frog-like monster suddenly shows up! It causes a lot of trouble and scares everyone. The gang decides they need to solve this mystery. They want to find out who or what this creature is.
Uncovering the Legend of Wanda Grubwort
The gang decides to talk to Mr. Uggins, a lighthouse keeper. He is the only person who has ever taken a picture of the lake monster. Mr. Uggins tells them an old story about the monster. Long ago, when people first settled Erie Point, an old woman named Wanda Grubwort warned them to stay off her land. She was known as a witch.
The settlers didn't listen to Wanda. So, she used her magic staff, which got its power from moonstones. She turned a frog into a terrible monster that attacked the villagers. Wanda was later accused of being a witch and faced a harsh punishment.
Clues and Complications: The Gang's Challenges
The next day, Velma finds security footage of the lake monster meeting a mysterious masked figure. As they try to zoom in, Velma accidentally spills her green tea on the computer. This destroys the important footage.
Friendship Troubles and New Feelings
Things get tricky for the gang. Fred and Daphne's friendship is strained because they keep seeing each other with other people. Also, Shaggy starts to have feelings for Velma. This makes Scooby feel left out and ignored.
Velma's Strange Behavior
The next morning, they find Velma unconscious on the beach. Shaggy is very worried, but then he notices warts on her hand. Velma seems surprised but quickly says it's nothing. Daphne tells them she saw purple paint on the mysterious figure's cloak. She suggests they check out a boat they saw earlier.
Shaggy asks Velma out on a date. It goes well until Shaggy lights a match for candles. Velma suddenly jumps back in fear, not knowing why. Scooby, still upset with Shaggy, tries to ruin the date. Shaggy accidentally knocks over the table, and a moonstone he planned to give Velma falls out.
Meanwhile, Fred and Daphne go to check the boat. The monster traps them in a room that starts to fill with water! Luckily, they manage to escape.
The Truth Revealed: A Witch's Return
The gang drives to the home of Mrs. Trowburg, who is a descendant of Wanda Grubwort. Through the windows, they see a figure that looks like the witch. It's Velma, but she has many warts! She claims not to be Velma and attacks the gang, knocking them out.
Putting the Pieces Together
When the gang wakes up, they find Mrs. Trowburg. She explains that her evil ancestor, Wanda, has possessed Velma. The gang realizes their arguments made them miss all the signs. Velma's warts, her fear of fire, her love for moonstones, and spilling the tea on the video were all clues. These signs should have shown them that Velma was acting strangely.
Mrs. Trowburg believes Wanda would go to the underwater caves. The gang rushes to the cave. Shaggy bursts out and tells Velma to stop. Wanda creates three new frog monsters and sends them after the gang!
Saving Velma and Solving the Mystery
As the monsters corner Fred and Daphne, Shaggy tries to save Velma. He sings her favorite song. Velma joins in, and the song helps her break free from Wanda's control! The ghost of Wanda tries to grab her staff. But Scooby arrives just in time and smashes the staff against a rock. This destroys Wanda and turns the monsters back into frogs!
Shaggy tells Velma how much he likes her, and they share a kiss. But they both realize there's no spark. They, along with Fred and Daphne, agree it's better if they stay just friends. Thornton thanks the gang for saving his country club. He promises to help them with legal issues. Daphne then names their group "Mystery Inc."
