On a visit to Grandpa Scooby, the guys discover his house is haunted and Grandpa is ready to pack up and leave. Scrappy soon confronts the ghost, and he is revealed as someone they love.

Synopsis

Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy visit Scooby Manor to see Grandpa Scooby. Scooby is at first startled when he sees him in a window, and upon their greeting, Grandpa confesses "I never could understand that boy!" Grandpa serves them biscuits, and when Shaggy and Scooby pull their routine of grabbing all of them first ("nobody makes biscuits like Grandpa; "Nobody eats them like us"), Scrappy and Grandpa beat them to the draw, grabbing them all back, before they even know what happened ("I always said you boys were slow!"). He makes them more, plus an upside down cake.

But Scooby Manor is haunted by a horn-blowing ghost, who tosses the food at them. Shaggy, Scooby and Grandpa hide under a rug, and then, all four hide in a picture. Scrappy, on a fountain, spits water at the ghost. Next, using feathers from pillows, they disguise as chickens ("Southern unfried, y'all"). The ghost comments "Chickens is right, Yee-haw!"

Grandpa, giving up, begins packing to leave Scooby Manor, and Shaggy and Scooby help him. The ghost appears out of a drawer, saying there is no place in Scooby Manor for cowards. Scrappy has had enough, and confronts the ghost for calling his elders cowards. To everyone's shock, the ghost, (surprised that Scrappy is related to the cowardly Scoobies) takes him in his arms, and unmasks. It is the ghost of Grandpa's pappy, Great Grandpa Scooby, Civil War hero. He praises Scrappy's bravery saying "I guess one out of three ain't so bad".
