Swamp Witch (episode)

Swamp Witch is the second part of the sixth episode of the first season of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show.

Premise
The guys are out boating in the swamp, when they encounter a grusome twosome, a swamp witch and her goblin, who are looking for people they can turn into frogs for frog-leg stew.

Synopsis
"Riga-ma-raga-ma-roo, I'm making frog's legs stew! Riga-ma-raga-ma-ree, Would anyone care to join me?" sings a witch. She remembers she forgot to add frogs' legs, and sends her goblin sidekick Globby out to look for people to turn into frogs.

Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy are on a boat in the nearby swamp, and Shaggy flips a coin to see which way is out. Globby grabs the coin, and Scrappy goes after him. He is netted by the witch. She decides he's too puny to turn into a frog, but Shaggy and Scooby, arriving to his rescue, are just right, and she sends Globby after them. They hide, but she lures them out with the promise of dinner. But the dinner is to be "frogs legs; --and, YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE FROGS!" She shoots frog spells at them with her wand. Scrappy tries to box with the immaterial goblin. They manage to escape, shouting "haha, you missed!", but Shaggy then discovers that he has been changed into a frog.

Scooby and Scrappy return as "wand inspectors" from the "Better Gnomes and Goblins Association"; take the wand, and change back Shaggy whom they had concealed in their briefcase. They take off on the witch's broom (Scrappy: "Broom power!"), and the witch shoots another spell at them. Shaggy, glad to be back to normal (he was "beginning to crave flies, yecch!"), looks in a mirror. The spell is reflected off the mirror and changes the witch into a frog. Globby laughs and she changes him into a frog, and chases him away, both hopping off screen. Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy ride the broom off into the moonlight.
