Plot

Shaggy's distant cousin Tawny invites the Mystery Gang to visit her ranch in Sorghum City, a town that has recently been terrorized by vandalism, apparently caused by the ghost of Dapper Jack Rogers (Shaggy and Tawny's ancestor). When the gang arrives, everyone who encounters them initially flees, believing Shaggy is Dapper Jack. Tawny and her neighbor Rafe show the gang Jack's picture, revealing Shaggy looks just like his ancestor. They also tell the gang the legend of Dapper Jack, a famous horseman and roper turned outlaw. Wearing bandanna masks, Jack went on a crime spree, before he was reported killed in the desert by then-Sheriff Rufus Carmichael. This legend brought tourists to the town, before the ghostly attacks started driving people away. The gang decides to stop Jack, and moves into the ranch. They meet their fellow guests, including famous preteen musician Buddy G (who has severe equinophobia) and his family. That night, Dapper Jack appears, shoots green fire from a gun, and escapes. Fred finds evidence of

after the ghost drove their profits down; her own ranch is now in imminent danger of the same. Ranch hands Larry and Kyle start teaching some of the guests how to rope and ride horses, but Buddy is too scared to try. Fred also has difficulties, but Shaggy proves to be a natural. Velma has a horse dander allergy, so she and Daphne leave to visit a local museum. They find indications that someone took a diary, potentially belonging to Sheriff Carmichael, from the museum's storeroom. Dapper Jack appears and starts a barn fire, setting a dangerous horse named Buckstitch loose, but Scooby manages to calm the bronco by speaking to him in animal language. After a couple false leads, the gang decides to investigate Jack's grave, but are confronted by Jack's very angry ghost. The gang borrows a canoe from a closed rental agency and flees downriver; they are nearly washed over a waterfall, but Shaggy is able to rescue them with his newfound roping skills. With no other leads to follow, Shaggy decides to enter the upcoming

Velma reveals to the crowd that Rafe is a secret Black Rattler executive. After starting the ghost scheme, he had discovered the diary; in it, Carmichael confessed that he had murdered the well-liked Dapper Jack out of jealousy, some time before Jack's death was actually reported. Carmichael then committed the legendary crime spree himself in disguise, to tarnish Jack's name. Rafe hid the diary so he could continue to use the false legend to frighten people. Rafe escapes the lasso and steals Shaggy's prize money and attempts to flee in a

As Rafe is arrested and the gang prepares to leave Sorghum City, Tawny promises to spread the truth about Jack, and thanks the gang for their help. The Mystery Machine drives away, and Shaggy and Scooby notice the real spirit of Dapper Jack watching them from a ledge; he tips his hat to them, before disappearing.
