Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown is an exciting animated mystery movie released in 2017. It's part of the popular Scooby-Doo film series that goes straight to DVD and digital. This film brings the famous Mystery Incorporated gang to a spooky dude ranch in the Wild West!

The Spooky Ranch Mystery

The Mystery Incorporated gang, which includes Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma, travels to the Crazy Q Dude Ranch. This ranch is owned by Shaggy's long-lost cousin, Tawny Rogers.

A Ghostly Welcome

When the gang first arrives, the people at the ranch are terrified when they see Shaggy. They think he is a ghost! Tawny explains that the ranch is being haunted by a famous old western outlaw named Dapper Jack. She points out that Shaggy looks exactly like Dapper Jack. This is because Shaggy is actually Dapper Jack's descendant!

The Ranch in Danger

Tawny tells the gang that Dapper Jack's ghost has been scaring everyone at the ranch. If the haunting continues, she will have to sell the ranch. The gang decides to help Tawny. They start investigating right away to solve the mystery and save the ranch.

Investigating the Haunting

The gang looks for clues, even checking Dapper Jack's grave. They have a few close calls with the ghost, but they keep going. Eventually, they figure out who the ghost really is and how to catch them.

The Rodeo Showdown

The mystery leads them to a big rodeo event with a $10,000 prize. At the rodeo, Scooby-Doo helps a young boy overcome his fear of horses. To everyone's surprise, Shaggy rides a horse incredibly well!

Unmasking the Culprits

Shaggy wins the prize money and gives it to Tawny to help her save the ranch. Just then, Velma reveals the truth. The ghost was actually a ranch hand named Kyle. He was trying to steal the prize money!

The gang also learns that Dapper Jack wasn't a bad guy at all. He was a kind person. The town sheriff, Rufus Carmichael, killed him and made it look like Dapper Jack was a criminal. Kyle used this false story to help with his plan.

But Kyle wasn't working alone! Velma announces that another man named Rafe was helping him. Rafe admits that he owns the company that wants to buy Tawny's ranch. He then grabs the money and tries to run away. Shaggy and Scooby chase him down, forcing him off the track and getting the money back.

A Happy Ending

After Rafe and Kyle are arrested, Tawny thanks Shaggy and his friends for all their help. The gang drives off in the Mystery Machine. As Scooby and Shaggy look out the window, they see the spirit of Dapper Jack Rogers on a cliff, smiling down at them.
