Later that night, the Moon Monster begins to chase Shaggy and Scooby. They narrowly escape, but not before Velma spots the Moon Monster, rowing away in a san pan. The gang and Kim then hear the dinner gong being wrung by Uncle Chin, making it odd since it is two in the morning. They discover Uncle Chin has been turned to stone and the Moon Monster stands behind him. The monster disappears, and Velma finds the first clue, grease streaks behind the statue of Uncle Chin, leading into the wall. They search Uncle Chin's room, and discover ancient tools; one carving tool in particular looks recently used, another clue. The Gang split up, and looks for clues. Velma, Fred, and Daphne row out onto the bay to discover a nearby seacave. It is there they find a tunnel that leads back to the palace. They realize what is going on, and decide to trap the moon monster.

They tell Kim to bag up the family treasure and throw it into the bay. He does so, and the treasure washes up to the nearby seacave. The gang take the tunnel to the cave, where they discover the moon monster grabbing the treasure. They trap him, and unveil who the moon monster really is: Uncle Chin. He wanted to get the inheritance away from Chin, so he carved a statue of himself with the ancient carving tool to make it look like he had been turned to stone. With the case solved, Scooby and Shaggy have giant sandwiches back at the palace.

Back at the Palace of Rampoo, the gang explains it was for the treasure. Fred tells Kim that Chin wanted to get the inheritance away from Kim, so he used the legend of the Moon Monster to frighten him out of his legacy. Kim's confused, since they saw Chin turn to stone by the Moon Monster. Velma tells Kim that he's wrong. Actually, Chin was in the Moon Monster disguise. Kim rang the gong and when everyone got to Chin's room, it looked like he was turned to stone. Kim asks about the statue, Daphne tells him that his uncle carved the statue of himself with the ancient carving tool. Velma explains that the tool was scratched and dull, unlike the rest of Chin's collection, indicating it was used recently. Fred says that the grease marks on the floor was where Chin pushed the statue out from the secret panel when everyone got to his room. Ling Foo tells Kim that he shouldn't have been fooled. Kim admits that they were ''all'' fooled. Velma continues saying that Chin knew that the tides would wash anything in the bay into the cave. So all Chin had to do was to scare Kim into throwing his treasure away and be there to get it when it washed up.

With the case solved, Ling Foo suggests that everyone gives a good night's rest. Kim, however suggest a snack. Scooby and Shaggy thanks Kim and runs for the kitchen to make giant sandwiches with every Chinese ingredient. When they finished making the sandwiches, Scooby realizes he can't fit the super stretcher sandwich in his mouth. Seeing his owner tie the sandwich down to compress it, Scooby follows suit. As Shaggy eats his sandwich, Scooby says "Scooby Dooby Doo" as he eats his. However, Scooby's neck begins to strength, much to Shaggy's shock! Kim comments that Scooby's eyes are bigger than his stomach. Daphne corrects Kim saying that Scooby's eyes are bigger than his mouth. Scooby laughs and says "Scooby Dooby Doo."

Scooby's Chinese Fortune Kooky Caper is the first of three segments of Scooby's All-Stars. It was later repackaged as the twelfth episode of the third season of The Scooby-Doo Show, and the thirty-sixth episode overall in the series.

Premise

The gang travel to China making their way to the city of Rampoo. While there, the gang run into the Moon Monster, whose shadow, legend says, turns people into stone.

Synopsis

The gang head to China, where they get lost and find themselves in the city of Rampoo. The city is famous for its legend of the moon monster, a creature who came to earth from a moonbeam, and turned everyone he cast his shadow on into stone. The Mystery Machine gets a flat tire, and the gang wind up spending the night at the Rampoo Palace, where they meet Kim Chow Ling, the new owner of the palace, his uncle, Chin Wong Sing, and Ling Foo. Shaggy and Scooby claim to have seen the legendary moon monster, but the rest of the gang dismiss it. The gang learn that Kim will soon inherit his family's fortune. Ling Foo reminds Kim that the treasure must be disposed of, because if not, the moon monster will wreak havoc on everyone at the palace (according to legend).

Later that night, the Moon Monster begins to chase Shaggy and Scooby. They narrowly escape, but not before Velma spots the Moon Monster, rowing away in a san pan. The gang and Kim then hear the dinner gong being wrung by Uncle Chin, making it odd since it is two in the morning. They discover Uncle Chin has been turned to stone and the Moon Monster stands behind him. The monster disappears, and Velma finds the first clue, grease streaks behind the statue of Uncle Chin, leading into the wall. They search Uncle Chin's room, and discover ancient tools; one carving tool in particular looks recently used, another clue. The Gang split up, and looks for clues. Velma, Fred, and Daphne row out onto the bay to discover a nearby sea cave. It is there they find a tunnel that leads back to the palace. They realize what is going on, and decide to trap the moon monster.

They tell Kim to bag up the family treasure and throw it into the bay. He does so, and the treasure washes up to the nearby sea cave. The gang take the tunnel to the cave, where they discover the moon monster grabbing the treasure. They trap him, and unveil who the moon monster really is: Uncle Chin. Kim is confused as to why would his uncle try to scare him

Back at the Palace of Rampoo, the gang explains it was for the treasure. Fred tells Kim that Chin wanted to get the inheritance away from Kim, so he used the legend of the Moon Monster to frighten him out of his legacy. Kim's confused, since they saw Chin turn to stone by the Moon Monster. Velma tells Kim that he's wrong. Actually, Chin was in the Moon Monster disguise. Kim rang the gong and when everyone got to Chin's room, it looked like he was turned to stone. Kim asks about the statue, Daphne tells him that his uncle carved the statue of himself with the ancient carving tool. Velma explains that the tool was scratched and dull, unlike the rest of Chin's collection, indicating it was used recently. Fred says that the grease marks on the floor was where Chin pushed the statue out from the secret panel when everyone got to his room. Ling Foo tells Kim that he shouldn't have been fooled. Kim admits that they were all fooled. Velma continues saying that Chin knew that the tides would wash anything in the bay into the cave. So all Chin had to do was to scare Kim into throwing his treasure away and be there to get it when it washed up.

With the case solved, Ling Foo suggests that everyone gives a good night's rest. Kim, however suggest a snack. Scooby and Shaggy thanks Kim and runs for the kitchen to make giant sandwiches with every Chinese ingredient. When they finished making the sandwiches, Scooby realizes he can't fit the super stretcher sandwich in his mouth. Seeing his owner tie the sandwich down to compress it, Scooby follows suit. As Shaggy eats his sandwich, Scooby says "Scooby Dooby Doo" as he eats his. However, Scooby's neck begins to strength, much to Shaggy's shock!
