Scooby's Desert Dilemma is the first part of the second episode of the first season of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show.
Premise[]
Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy hide from a sandstorm in an Arabian-style castle, where they encounter an evil magician who wants to test his spells on the guys.
Synopsis[]
Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy ride camels in the Arabian desert, but encounter a sandstorm. They escape to a nearby palace to wait out the storm, but the resident magician sees them and decides to use them to practice his spells. He first mocks them with a table of food, which he manipulates and dumps the food all over Shaggy. He then turns into a cobra and chases them around the palace.
After wrapping them in a rug, the magician attempts to cast a spell turning them into monkeys. However, Shaggy, Scrappy, and Scooby dodge the spell beams and run away. One of the beams hits a mirror, reflecting from the mirror, hitting the magician, and turning him into a monkey. When the sandstorm clears, Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy leave the castle and continue riding their camels through the desert.
