Plot
The game begins right where Scooby-Doo Begins left off, with Velma informing the gang that they are mysterious goings on at the local museum.

Episode 1: What a Night for a Knight!
A creepy looking suit of armour has just been recovered and put in the museum. However, they are reports coming in that the suit comes to life at night and walks the hallways of the museum. The gang decide to pay the museum a visit one evening, where they meet Professor Jameson Hyde White (voiced by James Arnold Taylor) and the museum curator, Jeremiah Wickles (voiced by Brad Dourif). They discuss the case while Scooby and Shaggy goof around, which leads to them accidentally stumbling upon a strange pair of glasses. The gang leave, but find that they accidentally brought the glasses with them, so they return to the museum to give them back to their owner; Hyde White. However, when they arrive they find that Hyde White is missing. Suddenly, the suit of armor appears and chases them. After escaping him, they search the museum and learn that the mysterious glasses were used by archaeologists in England. They then notice that some of the paintings Shaggy and Scooby made fun of earlier are missing and discover a trail to a hidden room storing a bunch of unfinished paintings. The knight reappears and chases them around, until Scooby leaps into a WWII-era biplane and accidentally starts it. In the chaos, he crashes into the knight and knocks the helmet off to reveal Wickles as the culprit. Wickles reveals that he was stealing paintings from the museum and replacing them with fakes he created himself. He knew that the only person who would spot the fakes was Hyde White, and when he got too close to the truth he had no choice but to tie him up in the Indian Effigy. The gang rescue Hyde White and Wickles is arrested.

The Creepy Heap of the Deep!
Daphne's surfer friend is riding some waves down at the beach when he is knocked off his board. While underwater, he comes face to face with a ghostly deep sea diver. He manages to get away, but the ghost breaks his board. He then tells Daphne about his experience, and the gang decide to investigate. They find out that a number of expensive yachts have been vanishing from the local marina. The gang next meet Ebenezer Shark, a crazy old sailor who claims the disappearances to be the work of the ghost of Captain Cutler, a sailor who's boat was struck by a yacht and sunk. The group visit Cutler's widow, who lives in an old lighthouse. She tells them to check out the ship graveyard if they want to learn more. The gang go scuba-diving to take a look, but are caught by the ghost of Captain Cutler, who pursues them around the sea bed. They eventually happen accidentally upon a hidden cove where the missing yachts are found in the process of being repainted. Suddenly, Widow Cutler appears and begins laughing. The ghost comes out of the water and begins to advance towards them, but Scooby uses a hose to spray the villains with foam and knock them into the water. The gang unmask the ghost to actually be Captain Cutler himself; it is revealed that he faked his death so that he and his wife could scare people away from the cove and they could carry on their plot to steal, repaint and sell expensive yachts undisturbed. When the kids started snooping around, Widow Cutler sent them to the ship graveyard so that her husband could get them. The villainous couple are arrested and the yachts are returned to the marina.
