**A Night of Fright is No Delight** is the 16th episode of *Liam Says Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!*.

## Plot

Scooby, Shaggy, Freddy, Daphne and Velma are boating to a spooky mansion on an island. Scooby has been chosen as an heir to the late Colonel Beauregard Sanders, whom Scooby saved from drowning in a fishpond years before. It is a creepy night and there is thunder and lightning.

One of the Colonel's lawyers, Cosgood Creeps, comes to greet them and ushers them into the mansion where they meet the other four heirs: Cousin Slicker, Cousin Simple, Nephew Norble, and "Sweet" Cousin Maldahyde. Cosgood informs the heirs that his partner, Cuthbert Crawls, was unable to attend and the only instructions from the Colonel were to play a record on an old phonograph. The recording tells the heirs that they must stay the night to get the fortune and that the mansion is haunted, much to Scooby and Shaggy's horror. Should any heir leave the island before morning, they forfeit their share of the inheritance and it will be split among the remaining heirs at the mansion. The whole gang decide they'll stay with Scooby.

Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby are getting ready for the night, with the former two in the bedroom taking turns reading a book while Scooby decides to take a bath. Fred tells Scooby to hurry up, and he is scrubbing up when a ghost appears from a tile trapdoor. The bathtub slides through a secret passage and down a chute into a coal cellar with Scooby in it. While he is sitting on a pile of coal, a green, chain-rattling phantom appears, laughing. Scooby is terrified and he breaks out of the basement. He frantically tries to explain what happened to Fred and Shaggy, but after seeing the bathtub in place and bolted to the floor, they dismiss it and go to bed.

The clock chimes midnight and a green ghost goes into Cousin Simple's room and stands over his bed, laughing. The gang wakes up and finds Cousin Simple is gone. On a dusty mirror, a menacing message warns them to leave the island, signed by the Phantom Shadow.

The gang decide to rig up a dummy of Scooby-Doo to catch the ghost when he comes to grab the dummy. Scooby and Shaggy are watching from outside on the drainpipe, when suddenly the ghost pushes the drainpipe loose. Velma tries to help them, but gets pulled out of the window, too.

The drainpipe swings the three down into a cave that turns out to be a secret passage underneath the house. They find the Phantom Shadow's footprints and decide to follow them. The footprints lead to a room with a collection of Civil War memorabilia. They find a wagon full of uniforms, and one starts flying and chases them. As it corners them in an elevator and Scooby starts growling and making faces at it, the uniform fell to the ground as a duck inside of it flies away scared.

Shaggy and Scooby go up in the elevator, which takes them to a secret entrance in Cousin Slicker's room. Inside, they discover that Cousin Slicker is missing as well. The gang all meet up and realize that all of the other heirs are now missing, leaving Scooby as the only remaining heir on the island.

The gang follow the sound of an organ playing. They find the organ and then see something written down on a music book. It reads "Feed the organ, and watch the floor". Scooby begins playing the organ, but the doors lock and the walls begin to close in! Scooby starts playing as fast as he can to try and undo whatever activated the trap, eventually succeeding in making the walls stop. Velma deduces that Feed refers to the musical notes F-E-E-D. Playing the notes, a trapdoor opens and the gang climb down steps to the catacombs. There they find the other heirs inside coffins, and one more coffin that is empty and dog shaped.

Two Green Ghosts appear and Scooby faints as the gang runs away. The gang try to carry the now unconscious Scooby, but he hits the top of the doorway and falls down. Scooby is confused as the two Phantoms stand in front of him laughing. Shaggy then gives him a Scooby Snack which wakes him up. They continue running and finally hide in a chandelier, but one of the Phantoms cuts it loose and it falls to the floor. Separated, Scooby and Shaggy find a wine rack and use the corks as ammunition against the Phantoms. They then run into a closet and emerge wearing dress clothes, set up a record player, and start dancing with the Phantoms. Leading them into the organ room, Shaggy opens the trapdoor and they send the Phantoms falling into the basement.

After the gang meets up, Velma notices that Shaggy has gotten green paint on his hands. That gives Fred an idea. They devise a trap, including a fan, soap suds, a spring-loaded ironing board, and a washing machine. It backfires when Scooby turns on the fan not only too soon, but also the wrong way, sending the entire contraption airborne; however, it still manages to catch the Phantoms. The gang unmask the ghosts as the lawyers Cosgood Creeps and Cuthbert Crawls. They painted themselves to be green ghosts as part of a ploy to scare all of the heirs off of the island so they could keep the million dollar fortune for themselves. As they successfully scared the heirs away, they added realistically painted dummies into the coffins to make them look like victims. As the only heir still on the mansion grounds, Scooby inherits the million dollars, only to learn it's all worthless Confederate money. Then a floating bone materializes, but that's one thing that Scooby isn't afraid of.
