Catfish Burglar Caper – Review
The episode begins with Mrs. Higgins, of the Harbour Bay Yacht Club, hires the Fearless Detective Agency to catch the Catfish Burglar, a jewel thief, who is robbing yachts of their valuables.
The episode begins with Shaggy and Scrappy cleaning the office. Mrs. Higgins from the Harbour Bay Yacht club enters, along with two sailors and hires the gang to catch the Catfish burglar.
Shaggy’s plan is to pose as a painting, and our trio watch the burglar walk in and steal some jewels.
Scooby grabs the jewels from the burglar but ends up in the water by the thief’s assistant. We get a chase scene, where the thief’s assistant’s clothes change from a tank top and some shorts to a sweat suit.
The thieves get away on a windsurfer, but our trio take chase and they end up at the beach. The gang retrieve the jewels from the thieves lighthouse hideout, and then they set a trap where they catch the pair.
Unmasking the one thief, they discover it’s Mrs. Higgins.
My Review
I give this episode a 4.5 out of 10. I liked that there was a bit of mystery, but that’s about it. These one is pretty mediocre, but, it’s not bad either. I just don’t think it has much of the magic that made the original Scooby-Doo series exciting.
Anyway, that wraps up another mystery! Join me next week when I will be covering Basketball Bumblers
