Muscle Trouble is the second part of the sixth episode of The Scooby & Scrappy Doo Puppy Hour, later repackaged as the second part of the sixth episode of the third season of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (second series).

Premise[]

On a trip to the beach, Shaggy accidentally shows up the local muscle man, Muscles Malone. To even the score Muscles challenges him to a sailboat race to prove he's better.

Synopsis[]

At the beach, Muscles Malone was showing off to Trixie and his dog, Brutus by carrying five men in an upside down pyramid. Scrappy, Shaggy, and Scooby walked past them and the pup commented on how strong Muscles was, but that he was not as strong as Shaggy. Shaggy protested and denied that he was stronger than Muscles. After saying that, Shaggy walked into a volleyball net and was flung backwards into the six men. Somehow, Shaggy was left holding all six men above his head. Trixie was impressed with this stunt, but Shaggy's knees buckled and they all collapsed into a pile.

Muscles was enraged by being shown up and threatened to harm Shaggy. Scrappy and Scooby told Malone to leave Shaggy alone, but Scooby was intimidated by Brutus. Muscles and Brutus spun Shaggy and Scooby, respectively, and threw them next to Scrappy. Shaggy asked for another way to settle this score, so Muscles suggested a sailboat race to Dead Man's Cove - the loser never to come back to this beach ever again. Scrappy accepted the challenge, much to Scooby's and Shaggy's chagrin.

As both teams set off for Dead Man's Cove, the boat sailed by the guys suddenly stopped. It was flung back because Muscles had tied it to the pier. Their boat and the pier were both damaged by the impact. After they fixed it the guys resumed the race with Shaggy and Scooby blowing the sail for extra speed. After noticing them catching up, Muscles concocted a plan to change a warning sign saying "DANGEROUS WATERS DO NOT GO BEYOND THIS POINT" to "THIS WAY TO DEAD MAN'S COVE". The trio fell for it and headed into stormy seas, picking up a lot of water. Shaggy and Scrappy started bailing, but Shaggy dumped some of water onto Scooby. Their boat then slid over a number of rocks and flew over the ocean. Scooby got an idea to use the sail as a parachute.

Their boat landed in front of their opponent's boat, and splashed Muscles and Brutus. With the guys in the lead, Muscles resorted to his secret weapon by disguising himself as a swordfish. He jumped into the ocean and swam to the other boat. Muscles began cutting holes in the bottom of the trio's boat, so Scrappy told Scooby he had to net the swordfish, even though they were unaware it was actually Muscles . While he did, Scrappy and Shaggy fixed the leaks.

When Scooby dived into the water, he tried to lure the fake fish to his net, bullfighter style. He missed and became tangled in the net. When the swordfish charged at him, Scooby quickly broke free and hid inside a large clam. Scooby tickled the clam which then closed, trapping Muscles fake tail. As Muscles tried to pull his tail free, Scooby opened it, which caused Muscles to be launched out of the water and impaling his own hast with his sword. Muscles became stuck to the post as the guys' boat went past them.

Scrappy spotted land through a telescope so Shaggy thought they're going to win. However, Muscles used an outboard motor and sped past, splashing them. Muscles and Brutus landed their boat and celebrated their win, but they had stopped on a whale which blasted them off with a squirt from its blowhole. The trio decided to save the Muscles and Brutus from the whale by using life preservers. The whale, annoyed by the disturbance, swatted the guy's boat away - towards the finish line. They crossed the line first, winning the race.

Later, Trixie was praising Shaggy as she and a man were lifting a 200 pounds barbell. She asked Shaggy what was his secret to his strength and they threw the weight to him. He caught it and answered "concentration, proper diet, and perfect muscle tone" while sinking into the sand.
