Scooby and Shaggy stay to watch the campfire, while Fred, Velma, and Daphne search the island for clues.
   
They stumble upon an abandoned air strip, where they find several rows of smudge pots. Inside the air strip control tower, they discover brand new controls that are there to guide a plane down, which is odd since the island is deserted. Daphne discovers wheel tracks that lead to the side of a mountain. At the mountain, they discover a hidden lever that opens up the mountain. It is there they discover the missing planes that were swallowed by the UFO. Meanwhile Shaggy and Scooby encounter the Skeleton Men and hide in an old ventilating duct, which leads to an underground cavern. There they are chased by the Skeleton Men, but escape by hiding inside a submarine. Inside, they find a skylight. Fred, Velma, and Daphne decide to use one of the radios in the planes to call for help.

While boating near the Bermuda Triangle, the gang encounters a hurricane. After they crashed onto a seemingly deserted island, they spotted a strange sight: A plane's flying through the air, when a UFO collides with it and appears to swallow it. The gang encounters an old man on the beach who tells them to leave the island or the skeleton men will get them. Scooby and Shaggy stay to watch the campfire, while Fred, Velma, and Daphne search the island for clues.

Then they stumble upon an abandoned air strip, where they find several rows of smudge pots. Inside the air strip control tower, they discover brand new controls that are there to guide a plane down, which is odd since the island's deserted, and then Daphne discovers wheel tracks that lead to the side of a mountain. At the mountain, they discover a hidden lever that opens up the mountain. There they discover that the missing planes that were swallowed by the UFO. Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby encounter the Skeleton Men and hide in an old ventilating duct, which it leads to an underground cavern. Then they're chased by the Skeleton Men, but then they escape by hiding inside the underwater lab. Inside, they find a skylight. Fred, Velma, and Daphne decide to use one of the radios in the planes to call for help.

They succeed in calling a weather base, who promise to notify the authorities. Then they discover that part of the planes are repainted, piecing the mystery together. Then they gang reunite after discovering that the skylight, that shows a hologram of a UFO in the sky. While the gang captures the Skeleton Men, Daphne ends up finding Captain Harris, who was tied up and gagged inside the submarine. Then the old man on the beach turns out to be a US Navy official who was trying to investigate the mystery, while the Skeleton Men turned out to be Mr. Grimsley, head of the weather base, and two unidentified hired henchman. They used the legends of the Bermuda Triangle to capture planes so they could repaint them and sell them overseas.
