## Script

(We open on daytime on the gang at the malt shop, the Mystery Patroller is parked out front and we cut to inside where the gang are at a booth having lunch, Ranger has his left arm around Ace, Ryder reads a paper with Katie on his right and Danny and Rubble are on Ace's left eating sandwiches)

Ryder:Hey guys, listen to this. Mysteries surround town. (Cuts to the paper, there is a picture of a vampire floating in the air, a ghost pirate is in another picture stealing treasure and a mummy is in another photo resting in his tomb) Officials are terrified by this mysterious group of monsters and need the help of the Rubble Gang to solve it.

(Cuts to Katie reading over Ryder's shoulder)

Katie:Ghost of Redbeard steals pirate treasure, vampire haunts Franken Castle, mummy haunts museum, and Shadow Phantom haunts old Beauregard Mansion.

(Cuts to Danny and Rubble)

Danny:Myster Town? Do you really think there are ghosts?

Rubble:Ghosts? Uh-oh.

(Cuts to scene)

Ryder:Whatever it is we need do find out.

Ranger:Right bro. We gotta get to the van and drive out to this place.

(Katie stands up)

Katie:Well what are we waiting for? Let's get going.

(We blackout and we fade to the Mystery Patroller driving down the road and we cut to the front where we see Ryder driving, Katie beside him, Ace beside Katie and Ranger riding shotgun reading the map, Danny and Rubble are in the back and the song *The Ghost is Here* plays and we cut to the van driving down the road and we fade to the Beauregard mansion, the van is out front and we cut to inside where the gang look around, Rubble is seen hiding in the bathtub in the bathroom, Danny plays the piano and Ryder, Ranger and the girls look around with flashlights and the Shadow Phantom appears, it looks like the green ghost from Scooby-Doo and it chases them and we cut to Danny, he runs and Rubble gets out of the tub to run and Danny and Rubble run to a secret panel opening causing them to spin around in it and we cut to inside where the ghost is there with a smoke machine, a mirror and a spotlight and they stop spinning and land on the ghost and we cut to the three, Rubble pulls the mask off revealing a middle aged male with grey hair resembling Cosgood Creeps and we fade to Franken Castle where we see the van out front and we hear a low howl and we cut to inside a tomb in a castle where Danny and Rubble walk around and we cut to a coffin, the lid burst open revealing the vampire, and Danny puts garlic in the vampire's face but he throws it to the side with his right hand and Danny and Rubble run and we cut to outside the tomb where they run out screaming and the vampire runs up to the camera and it goes into his mouth and we cut to Danny leaping over a stone, and Rubble does too and we cut to the sideview where we see them running and we pan past a stone to see the vampire running after them and the gang screech to a stop and Katie points at the vampire and we cut to Danny and Rubble running and screaming and they knock over a chair as they head for the entrance and the vampire trip over it and we cut to Katie and Ace, Katie unmasks it to reveal a middle aged male with brown hair resembling Big Bob Okley and we cut to a closeup of Ace, she finds a diamond, ruby and a gold earring hidden under the guy's sleeve and we cut to Katie at the back of her head, she does the "Cut" motion to Ryder and Ryder rolls his eyes to Danny Rubble who are behind him and Ranger and we fade to a ghost ship and we cut to inside the captain's quarters where Danny and Rubble are being chased by Redbeard who looks like the one from *Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law*, they scream as he chases them and throws a chair and shakes his sword in his left hand, cuts to the lower angle with Danny and Rubble backing up to the doors and the legs of the pirate come and we cut to a closeup of Danny an Rubble, they are knocked off the doors by the gang who come in, Ace holds one door and Katie holds the other and Ranger is beside Ace and Ryder is beside Katie and we cut to Danny and Rubble landing on a spinning chair and it causes them to spin around and we cut to lower angle, the ghost pirate comes over and the chair breaks causing them to fly over to the ghost and we cut to them, they get up as the ghost sits up and the mask falls down revealing a man who looks like C.L. Magnus with grey hair and we fade to a museum, the van is parked out front and we cut to inside where the gang look around with flashlights and Danny and Rubble are shivering being scared not taking any part of the investigation, and we cut to Rubble, a wrapped up mummified hand taps on his shoulder and we pull back, as Rubble taps on Danny and they look over and see something and we cut to them looking at the mummy, they run of we cut to them running and the mummy chases them, he goes after Rubble and we cut to Rubble, he runs and the mummy throws him and we cut to Rubble landing on a janitor cart and we cut to the mummy walking up to Danny as he backs up to a wall being trapped and we cut to Rubble yelling as the cart rides to the monster and we cut to the mummy holding Danny up by the back of his shirt and Rubble and the cart crash into the mummy catching him and it causes Danny to fall down and we cut to lower angle on the gang we cut to the mummy, Danny unmasks it revealing a Caucasian male with blond hair and we cut to Katie and Ace, Katie does the "Cut" thing again and we cut to the man in the mummy costume and we cut to black ending the montage and we fade to daytime in Mystery Town where everyone is going about their lives and we cut to the local malt shop called "MYSTERY MALTS", we see the van is parked out front and we fade to inside to see the gang)
