As the group start coughing due to dust someone blows the dust away from them. They then look to see a guy with black glasses and red hair laughing.
"Double yikes!" Shaggy shouts.
"I trust you and your associates will be comfortable here master." The guy with red hair says as he laughs again.
"Who are you?" Scooby asks nervously.
"I'm Farquard. Man servant the the coronal these sixty years and rightful owner of this place. Unfortunately the old fool decided to give it all to you including the family jewels! So I am at your service." Farquard says.
"Family jewels?" Alexis asks.
"What family jewels?" Shaggy asks.
"What family jewels!? Only a king's ransom hidden somewhere here on the estate. Don't tell me you didn't know about the Beauregard bonanza." Farquard says as he takes off his glasses and laughs.
"I don't know who looks nuttier. Farquard or that picture of the old coronal." Scrappy says seeing the picture on the wall.
"Yea." Scooby says as he agrees with Scrappy.
"Speaking of the coronal he looks just like the g-g-g-g..." Shaggy says not quite being able to get out the last word.
"Like the ghost!?" Farquard asks.
"Yea." The group says in union.
"Don't worry he wont hurt you. Ghosts can't hurt anyone." Farquard says as sword gets thrown and sticks in the mirror right above Scooby's head.
"Are you alright Scooby?" Alexis asks as Scooby nods before hiding behind her legs.
"Now coronal where are your manners sir? Is that anyway to treat your guests? Even though they don't belong here and want to take away my treasure!" Farquard says as he laughs.
"Your treasure? Listen goggle eyes if there's any treasure around here they belong to Shaggy! Right?" Scrappy asks as Shaggy and Scooby back away.
"Oh.. never mind Scrappy... Listen Mr Faquard I think we'll just be getting on back home." Shaggy says scaredly.
"But Shag." Scrappy says he tries to grab Shaggy's pants leg.
"Yea we got to run." Scooby says as he opens the door before quickly closing it and standing in front of the door.
"Yea like the engine in my truck must be unflooded by now. So uh.. hey come on Scoob let me out of here!" Shaggy says as he goes over to the door.
"Uh-huh no." Scooby says not budging.
"Scooby doo what's the matter with you? Open that door." Shaggy says.
"No there's a monster out there." Scooby says.
"Monster?" Shaggy says as something bangs on the door resulting in Scooby and Shaggy running and hiding in a room.
"Ah sheriff Buzby do come in." Farquard says as he opens the door to reveal the sheriff.
"Just came by to tell you all to keep an a weather eye out for an escaped circus ape. He was last seen headed this way." Sheriff Buzby says.
"Guys you can come out it's only the sheriff." Alexis says as Shaggy then comes out from the room he was hiding in and walks over.
"Like hi there sheriff." Shaggy says kindly.
"Oh I see you made it boy. Ignored my warning about not staying here aye?" Sheriff Buzby asks.
"Well uh.." Shaggy says not knowing what to say.
"That's right sheriff we're staying and we're gonna find the Beauregard jewels." Scrappy says happily.
"Now what y'all wanna do that for? That old tale about hidden jewels is just hog wash. So any how if you see this here ape you call me pronto hear?" Sheriff Buzby asks.
"Alright sheriff but it will do no good." Farquard says as he rubs his hands together.
"What y'all mean it wont do no good? We gotta catch this ape." Sheriff Buzby says.
"But you can't capture it sheriff. You see it's a ghost!" Farquard says as the sheriff's jaw drops.
"A ghost?" Alexis and Shaggy ask in union as Scooby then comes running screaming and jumps into Shaggy's shirt.
"Scooby what the? What's the matter with you?" Shaggy asks.
"There's a monster in there." Scooby says pointing to the room they were hiding in before Shaggy shakes Scooby out of his shirt.
"Don't be ridiculous. What kind of monster?" Shaggy asks.
"Yea Scooby what did you see?" Alexis asks as Scooby starts acting like an ape.
"Looks like he's imitating the escaped ape." Sheriff Buzby says.
"You mean the ghost ape." Farquard says.
"We'll see what kind of ghost he is." Sheriff Buzby says as he kicks open the door and points his gun at an ape telling it to put it's hands up.
"He can't raise his hands sheriff. He's stuffed." Farquard says as the group go in the room with the sheriff.
"I don't care how much he eats. He ain't gonna defy an officer of the law." Sheriff Buzby says.
"You don't understand sheriff. This is Bimbo. He's no longer among the living." Farquard says.
"What? Oh. Why didn't you say so." Sheriff Buzby says as he puts away his gun.
"Ever since the coronal bagged him and brought him here his spirit has been haunting these grounds." Farquard says explaining the ape is a stuffed trophy animal.
"Aww that's ridiculous. There ain't no such thing as an ape ghost. Well I can see I ain't gonna catch me nothing around here." Sheriff Buzby says as the others go back in the other room except for Scooby.
"Sorry for the misunderstanding sheriff. Scooby can get a little carried away sometimes." Alexis says as they hear Scooby screaming as he comes running over and grabs hold of the sheriff's pants.
"Let go of me you dum hound dog!" The sheriff shouts.
"Scooby doo what's wrong with you?" Shaggy asks as he and Alexis pull Scooby off the sheriff.
"The ape! In there it's alive!" Scooby shouts.
"Now stop that. That ape's just a dummy!" Shaggy says as he looks at Scooby.
"He ain't the only one. Now you take my advice boy. Clear out of this place. Inheritance or no inheritance!" Sheriff Buzby says.
"Y-you don't have to convince me sheriff. We're going." Shaggy says.
"Oh goody! That mean the family jewels will be all mine!" Farquard says as he jumps around happily.
"Ain't no jewels. His little old mind wanders a lot. He just goes along for the ride." Sheriff busby says as he leaves.
"Well guys let's split. Wait a minute! Where's Scrappy?" Shaggy says as he does see Scrappy.
"Scrappy doo? Where are you?" Shaggy, Scooby, and Alexis call in union.
"Psst. Hey guys over here. Look what I found. A ring." Scrappy says as he is hiding behind a vase and holds a shiny gold ring with a jewel on it.
"Hey!" Shaggy and Scooby say loudly as they go over to Scrappy.
"Shh." Scrappy says shushing them as Shaggy takes the ring and bends down to Scrappy's level.
"Where'd you get that?" Shaggy asks quietly.
"It fell out of Farquard's pocket." Scrappy says.
"Well you better give it back to him." Shaggy says.
"Wait. It has a big B on it for Beauregard and look at the inscription inside." Scrappy says pointing to the writing on the inside of the ring.
"Wow. For my nephew Shaggy." Shaggy says reading the inscription.
"Don't you see? Maybe there really is a king's ransom in jewels here and it all belongs to you Shag." Scrappy says.
"I don't care. I'm not staying in this house of horrors five more minutes." Shaggy says as he gets up.
"But." Scrappy says.
"Well it's been nice knowing you Mr Farquard sir but we're gonna bug out." Shaggy says as they head for the door.
"So sorry you can't stay." Farqaurd says as he waves and laughs.
"Oh no my truck is like sinking!" Shaggy says seeing his truck sinking and runs out to stop it but starts sinking along with his truck.
"Come on you two! We gotta do something." Alexis says as she, Scooby, and Scrappy run up a tree above where Shaggy and his truck are sinking.
"Help!" Shaggy shouts.
"Grab on Shag." Scrappy says as he, Alexis, and Scooby form a chain grabbing Shaggy resulting in them getting sling shotted out of the mud and onto the porch causing a board to send Farqaurd into the roof of the porch.
"Oh dear this is most distressing." Farquard says as he moves his legs trying to get loose.
