When Shaggy inherits a Southern plantation from his recently deceased uncle, he is harrassed by the ghosts haunting the estate. He, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy call up on a ghost hunting team of three inept ghosts, and in the middle of their investigation and a search of the mansion's jewels, Shaggy also starts a unintentional feud with an enemy of his uncle.

Behind the scenes
- The Buzbys are modeled after Sorrell Booke who voices them. Additionally, Sheriff Buzby's bumbling actions are a parody of Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane from CBS' The Dukes of Hazzard TV series (and Hanna-Barbera's own The Dukes spin-off), who was Boss Hogg's partner, also played by Booke.
Errors
Everlasting influence
- In the Torchwood book Slow Decay, it was brought up in a discussion about how the Scooby-Doo franchise had shifted towards using real monsters during the 80s. Owen, being a fan had seen it, while Toshi had not.
