The Dinosaur Deception is the second half of the third episode of The New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show. It was preceded by Hound of the Scoobyvilles.

Premise[]

The Gang go to visit Dr. LaRue, a palaeontologist, in San Pablo, Mexico, who excavated a dinosaur that has come to life. The dinosaur is now scaring everyone off, but why, and does it have anything to do with the Lost Silver Mine of Montezuma?

Synopsis[]

In Puerta Vallarta, Dr. LaRue comes screaming warning two villagers that the dinosaur he's been excavating is alive. Just like that, the dinosaur appears and kidnaps Dr. LaRue while the other two go to warn the village.

The gang arrives in the village of San Pablo to meet Dr. LaRue and the dinosaur he excavated. They spot someone parasailing and decided to give it a try.

Shaggy helps Scooby get into his harness, but gets his leg stuck in it. Daphne starts the boat and they both get swept away. Their weight caused the rope to snap and they flew away into the village, where they noticed the people running. Upon seeing the dinosaur alive, the duo quickly ran off.

Daphne and Scrappy show up to find them and see the village in ruins, and Scrappy falls in a huge footprint with oil in it. They find the parachute torn and notice that someone's there and Daphne gets an idea.

Shaggy and Scooby escape the dinosaur and get caught in the parachute. They tell Daphne and Scrappy about the dinosaur, which then shows up. They hide in the jungle while the dinosaur walks away. Daphne finds something suspicious about it and they head off to find Dr. LaRue.

They find more damage done by the dinosaur and more oil on the ground. Then they follow a trail of more oil puddles unaware that they're being watched.

They find themselves standing right next to the dinosaur, Scrappy jumps on its tail, triggering a secret ramp. Daphne and Scrappy go inside followed by the others.

The gang enters a cave through a dinosaur's mouth, which serves as the entrance to an old mine shaft. Shaggy and Scooby run for their lives from the dinosaur, jumping into ore cars. Their pursuer tries to get them, but they bail out just in time. Daphne finds a piece of silver ore on the ground and realizes they're in the Lost Silver Mine of Montezuma. Suddenly, their stalker triggers a trapdoor, and the gang falls through. Upon landing, they hear a truck outside picking up silver from the dinosaur, revealing that the dinosaur is a silver processor.

Meanwhile, Scrappy takes control of the dinosaur and goes after the truck. It starts making black smoke, and Dr. LaRue, the truck driver, crashes into a tree and falls into a well. The dinosaur's tail gets caught on a cactus, and its skin rips off, revealing a crane underneath. LaRue emerges from the well and admits defeat.

Afterward, Daphne, not recognizing him, asks where Dr. LaRue is, but the driver confesses that there was no Dr. LaRue. He explains that he made up the dinosaur story to scare off the villagers so he could steal all the silver for himself. He is then tied up and taken to the Federales for his crimes. Shaggy is relieved that the dinosaur was a fake, but then, Scooby sits on a big egg. To everyone's surprise, a real dinosaur hatches and mistakes Scooby for its mother.

Notes/trivia[]

  • The "dinosaur" is a patchwork of different dino types, being basically a Tyrannosaur's head on a Brontosaur's body.
