Karl has been doing this himself since he captured many without Mystery Inc but it's not easy. Velma knows there's more out there, as Fred wants Daphne first. Velma looks at Seattle and sees a Gnome attacking Mayor Ryder. Fred will prepare his traps and his Mystery machine, as Shaggy and Scooby prepare for snacks down the road while Fred drives.

Velma knows that Seattle that they are doing a parade for something, as Shaggy and Scooby eat more sandwiches. They arrive, as Mayor Ryder is worried about the parade is going to be the same attack from tomorrow. Fred knows that the giant gnome is attacking the Parade for an unknown reason, Floyd hates the parade as it was ignored with the design and with the celebration. Mayor Ryder has trouble dealing with it, as Fred tells the gang to split up. Shaggy and Scooby were talking about their jobs being fired before returning, Scooby misses a lot of running which is exercise. They run into a Giant Gnome as they run, but they escape after using a disguise. Shaggy and Scooby run into a Giant Gnome, as they found out that it isn't made of stone. Shaggy thinks a real Gnome, as Karl denies and believes it's another masked freak.

As the night comes for another parade for tomorrow, Fred still looking at the picture of Daphne, as he misses her. Karl tries to check on his radar again but no such luck of where she is. Even Daphne is not in Seattle, Karl will help Fred to find her after days. He prepares for the traps, as Velma is sleeping in the truck, as Shaggy and Scooby read comics of the Blue Falcon and ate all the food from the restaurant. They run into a Giant Gnome again, as Fred was searching for them, as they escape from it again. Fred warned Velma about the Giant Gnome attacking the Mystery Inc, as he got an idea of how to trap him by continuing the parade.

At the parade continues, Mayor Recker goes as bait to lure the gnome into a trap, as Shaggy and Scooby are done for one day, as they help Karl, Velma, and Fred to trap it. Velma thinks Floyd is behind this, hates the parade and wants to get rid of it. Mayor Recker is a chicken, as the Giant Gnome started to attack people and the Mayor. Fred uses a wire to trip the gnome into the hole, down. Velma unmasked him and it turned to be Alan Moore, who used to be one of the parade people. Moore wasn't good enough to be in the parade, as he couldn't show his talent. Alan Moore attacked it for a reason, as he nearly captured the Mayor, as he sent to prison.

Fred is happy that they solve the mystery, but he wants Daphne back and will look for any state in America or Country.
