== Premise ==
While out on an ocean sailing trip, the gang run into a hurricane and end up stranded on a deserted island.The island appears to be home base for a UFO that captures Hurricane Hunter aircraft! Not only that, but there are also some skeleton men on the loose!
== Synopsis ==
While boating near the Bermuda Triangle, the gang encounters a hurricane. After they crashed onto a seemingly deserted island, they spotted a strange sight: A plane's flying through the air, when a UFO collides with it and appears to swallow it. The gang encounters an old man on the beach who tells them to leave the island or the skeleton men will get them. Scooby and Shaggy stay to watch the campfire, while Fred, Velma, and Daphne search the island for clues.
Then they stumble upon an abandoned air strip, where they find several rows of smudge pots. Inside the air strip control tower, they discover brand new controls that are there to guide a plane down, which is odd since the island's deserted, and then Daphne discovers wheel tracks that lead to the side of a mountain. At the mountain, they discover a hidden lever that opens up the mountain. There they discover that the missing planes that were swallowed by the UFO. Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby encounter the Skeleton Men and hide in an old ventilating duct, which it leads to an underground cavern. Then they're chased by the Skeleton Men, but then they escape by hiding inside the underwater lab. Inside, they find a skylight. Fred, Velma, and Daphne decide to use one of the radios in the planes to call for help.
They succeed in calling a weather base, who promise to notify the authorities. Then they discover that part of the planes are repainted, piecing the mystery together. Then they gang reunite after discovering that the skylight, that shows a hologram of a UFO in the sky. While the gang captures the Skeleton Men, Daphne ends up finding Captain Harris, who was tied up and gagged inside the submarine. Then the old man on the beach turns out to be a US Navy official who was trying to investigate the mystery, while the Skeleton Men turned out to be Mr. Grimsley, head of the weather base, and two unidentified hired henchman. They used the legends of the Bermuda Triangle to capture planes so they could repaint them and sell them overseas. The UFO hologram was projected from the laboratory so curious onlookers wouldn't suspect planes were landing on the islands.

== Notes/trivia ==
* Unlike many other disguises the Skeleton Men didn't seem to use monster mask magic, as it was clear even before the unmasking that they were fakes.
* In the live-action theatrical film Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, two Skeleton Men costumes were put on display at the Coolsonian Criminology Museum. They were brought to life by the Evil Masked Figure/Professor Jonathan Jacobo, in revenge against Mystery Incorporated.
=== Cultural references ===
* This episode concerns the urban legend of the Bermuda Triangle. The theory that aliens are allegedly responsible for the disappearances of ships and planes, is one of many.
=== Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches ===
* When Scooby sees the Skeleton Men through the periscope, the view is following the Skeleton Men, but the periscope is not moving.
=== Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities ===
* If Dr. Grimsley was one of the Skeleton Men, he was in two places at once (which would be impossible). He's seen in the control tower, when Fred uses the stolen plane's radio while at the same time he is in the Skeleton costume chasing Shaggy and Scooby.
* It is stated that the planes were brought in by remote control after it was made to look like the hologram spaceship captured them but that would mean that there was no manual override in the plane.
* It is not explained why Dr. Grimsley wanted to hijack his own planes. Most likely to sell them for his own profit.
