Plot
The gang is going to have a picnic (it is never said where), but their beach boat breaks down and they go for help to the old Vasquez Castle on Haunted Isle, which was once owned by Vasquez the pirate. Scooby finds a threatening message that reads: Danger! Leave Haunted Isle! But that doesn't stop Fred. He takes the gang inside the castle.

Inside, the gang finds a phantom who gives them a warning to get off the island. The phantom seems to be some type of magician, according to the things they find inside a closet, such as levitating tables, disappearing cabinets, and a saw-'em-in two box. After nearly being caught in a chase by the phantom, Fred decides it is time to make a trap, and uses Scooby as the bait (dressed up as a middle-aged man).

The phantom gives chase to Scooby, who falls into Fred's trap and is unexpectedly caught in it. The phantom then corners the gang, ready to attack, when Scooby falls straight onto him, revealing the phantom to be Bluestone the Great, an ex-magician wanted in six states. The police arrives, and Bluestone explains how he did his tricks. When Daphne asks what he was doing on Haunted Isle, the policeman tells that he must've heard the legend of the Vasquez treasure.
