The Warlock of Wimbledon is the first of three segments of Scooby's All-Stars. it's the fifthteen episode of the third season of Scooby Doo, Where Are You! and the fourtieth episode overall in the series. It was later repackaged as the fifteenth episode of the third season of The Scooby-Doo Show, and the thirty-ninth episode overall in the series.

Premise

While touring England, the gang come upon tennis star, Jimmy Pelton, who's been cursed by Anthos, a warlock, and told to forfeit the Wimbledon tournament.

Synopsis

In England, Jimmy Pelton, a famous tennis star, and his trainer, Nick Thomas, are jogging one night, training for Jimmy's tennis match at Wimbledon the following morning, when they stumble upon the ancient Druid ruins of Rothmore. There they discover some sort of ancient staff and then they encounter a warlock named Anthos, along with his demon hound, who claims to have awoken from his life-long sleep to fulfill the curse upon the Pelton family. The warlock tells Jimmy that as long as he has the cursed staff, he is doomed. Jimmy and Nick flee.

Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby are touring England at the same time, and happen to be driving nearby the ancient ruins of Rothmore. Nick and Jimmy stumble onto the road and are picked up in the Mystery Machine. Nick and Jimmy tell the gang about their attack by the warlock Anthos, and the gang and Jimmy and Nick drive to Jimmy's mansion. Jimmy introduces the gang to the gatekeeper, John, and the housekeeper, Ms. Warren. Ms. Warren, who is very superstitious, warns Jimmy that she sees approaching danger.

All of a sudden, the warlock and the demon dog appear, threatening Jimmy again with the curse of Anthos, leaving behind the cursed staff when they disappear. Fred, the girls, Shaggy, Scooby, Nick, and Jimmy hurry to the gatekeeper's house where they discover John missing, and the house ransacked and covered in red pawprints. They find John's boots, which are splattered with red mud. They follow the red pawprints until they eventually disappear, and just then, Mr. Burgess, Jimmy's solicitor, arrives and tells the tale of Anthos. He claims Anthos placed a curse on the house and on the Pelton family and there is no escape. He also warns Jimmy that if he doesn't win the match tomorrow, Jimmy won't be able to pay his mortgage on the mansion and he will lose the house.

Knowing the staff is cursed, Fred tells Shaggy and Scooby to get rid of it. Scooby and Shaggy attempt to get rid of the staff, but they are attacked and chased by Anthos. After many attempts to get rid of the staff, eventually the whole gang chases the warlock into the woods to the ruins of Rothmore, and then the warlock and the hound disappear, and Nick also disappears. Jimmy loses his glasses, only to find them later, along with the staff, which he promptly snaps in half, hopefully ending the curse. Velma finds more red mud, and Jimmy tells the gang that the ruins are the only place in the country you can find mud that is that special color.

After hearing the demon hound's howls, the gang along with Jimmy, rush back to the mansion and discover the perfectly fixed staff by the front gate, with a note attached that reads: "If you play tomorrow, it will mean your DOOM". Mr. Burgess appears and warns Jimmy to heed the message, but Jimmy refuses to be scared off by the warlock.

The next morning, Fred, Daphne, and Jimmy head to Wimbledon to play in the match, and Velma, Shaggy and Scooby stay behind to investigate the ruins. Shaggy, Scooby and Velma fall into a secret underground chamber, which holds a small workshop filled with sawdust and workbenches. Velma finds a receipt for a special lens. The warlock appears and chases the three all the way to Wimbledon, where Jimmy is playing horribly as he keeps seeing the warlock up in the stands, even though the warlock isn't up there. Shaggy, Scooby and Velma find Fred and Daphne, and while Scooby and Shaggy are at the concessions, the warlock appears and chases them into the locker room. Velma then figures out the mystery and she puts her theory to work, by switching hers and Jimmy's glasses. With Velma's glasses, Jimmy plays wonderfully and wins the match. But the warlock still runs rampant, and after a chase the warlock is captured.

The warlock is unmasked as Nick, and the demon hound is just a normal dog in a costume. Velma says that when Jimmy lost his glasses in the woods, Nick switched them with a special pair of glasses, that allowed you to see a special kind of invisible make-up. This caused Jimmy to see the warlock up in the stands. A man wearing the invisible make-up would stand up in the stands, and Jimmy would see the make-up, although no one else could, because Jimmy had the special glasses, so Jimmy thought he was seeing Anthos. The man in the stands is revealed to be John the gatekeeper, who turns out to be Nick's brother. It also turns out that Nick and John are actually descendants of the Warlock Anthos, and the brothers wanted Jimmy to lose the tennis match so they could inherit the mansion when Jimmy couldn't afford to pay the mortgage and the revenge of Anthos would of been complete. Velma also knew John was in on it, because of the red mud on his shoes, and it proved John had been to the ruins lately, because Jimmy said the red mud could only be found at the ruins. And the constant reappearance of the staff worked out because there was more than one staff; John and Nick would carve the staffs in the secret workshop under the ruins.

Notes/trivia

This is the penultimate segment of Scooby-Doo to air under the Scooby's All-Stars block. It is also the penultimate episode of both the third season of both Scooby Doo, Where Are You! and The Scooby-Doo Show and the series itself.

  • "Anthos" is an alternate name for rosemary. It means "flower" in Greek.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

  • In the beginning of the episode, after the activation of the staff startles Jimmy, he throws it in a spear-like manner, with the tip facing away from him. When it lands, however, it is facing the opposite direction.
    • This may be because of the fact that it struck a rock as it landed.
  • When Scooby is performing the magic trick, the background is entirely green, yet, moments before, Scooby had been standing in front of the Mystery Machine.
    • It may be that he was standing in front of a part of the Mystery Machine that was predominantly green.
  • When the gang chases Anthos after having seen him when they arrived at Jimmy's mansion, Daphne runs with her arms out in front of her, as though she is trying to grab something.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

  • Why would Anthos attack some visitors (Shaggy and Scooby), but not Jimmy himself?
  • Why would the dog need a disguise? Couldn't the warlock find a dog vicious enough?
  • The trick with invisible makeup and "special lenses" was extremely implausible.
  • Jimmy doesn't seem to realize that he's wearing Velma's glasses, which must mean that their prescriptions are identical...which, while possible, is extremely unlikely.
