Our hero, (Cant remember his name, so we'll call him Shaggy) goes on an adventure with his dog. (We'll call him Scooby) They hop into their boat and go on a pleasure cruse.Here is where it tripped me up; They spy a chick drowning in a lagoon, and he rushes to her rescue, and fishes her out just before she goes under. They barely say a handful of words to each other, and it's off to the captains quarters they go.Did Shaggy even notice Scooby's disposition towards their guest? Not at all.Why did she vanish afterwards, if she needed his help? That was a laughable twist.I caught myself hoping that her skin would melt away and he would find himself romping around with a waterlogged corpse. Darn it all, it didn't happen. All that aside, I did not find this story entertaining at all.Plot hole: Step sister (Thelma) can marry a ghost who also had a background similar to Shaggy's ghost, but he was able to go on as if he were still alive. Even go on a vacation. Did he have to pay for a plane ticket, or did he just materialize there? I don't know. Anyway, it made no sense why Shaggy could not get the same kind of happiness Thelma got. But then, isn't always Shaggy who draws the short stick? All he has to do now, is eat a 4 foot sandwich stack, and Scooby needed his trademark catch phrase, and the story would have been complete. Wooby-wooby wooooooooo......
