  • Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo are clam-hunting on the beach when the nearby amusement park Funland mysteriously starts running, lights, rides and all. Velma states that the carnival was not supposed to open for weeks. The gang checks it out and split up. Surprisingly, the gang is able to order food and play games, but there is nobody around. Everything is running with no operators or cashiers. Scooby and Shaggy then catch sight of a fleeting figure dash across the aisle. They chase it into the Hall of Mirrors, but flee from it. Fred, Daphne and Velma catch sight of the robotic man on the ferris wheel, but when the ride comes back down, the man is nowhere to be seen. As they wonder at this, the lights and rides shut down all around the park. Mystery Inc. head to the caretaker's house, Mr. Jenkins and Sarah Jenkins and explain their story, but the caretakers dismiss it and send the kids off. The teens decide to stake out the carnival. Soon enough, the lights and rides come back on, but this time, everything is going haywire, like the stalls spitting out huge amounts of food and the rides running backwards. The gang chases the robot into the Tunnel of Love, but the gang's boat crashes. Then, the robot gives chase to Shaggy and Scooby on the roller coaster, and the two narrowly escape. Then, the robot dives off the roller coaster and crashes through the roof of a tent. When the gang enter the tent, the robot is gone. They decide to try to capture the robot with an electric kart. But Shaggy accidentally sets it on, and Velma and Scooby go riding off, causing Velma to lose her glasses. The runaway kart causes chaos for a few minutes and finally, Scooby and Velma collide into a huge pile of cotton candy. The gang devise a trap. Scooby lures the robot into a crate, Scooby is lifted up out of a trapdoor by a basket and the robot is captured. Scooby goes off, and the robot finds him, chases him through the Wax Museum and finally they lead him into the crate but the robot breaks out and slams through a brick wall and is gone. Then, Mr. Jenkins appears and explains he created Charlie the Funland Robot to help run the amusement park when Mr. Jenkins was busy. But somehow, the robot got out of control. Setting up a Jeep rigged with a huge electromagnet, the gang, with Jenkins, sets out to find Charlie. The magnet begins to work, but all of a sudden, the magnet stops working and then the robot short-circuits; it is evident now that the cable has been cut. Scooby discovers a person lurking by a fence, and Ms. Jenkins steps out with wire cutters. She confesses that she was the one who caused Charlie to go out of control. She didn't think that robots should operate in a place where children dwell and wanted the robot to be ended. Mr. Jenkins plans to rebuild Charlie to be nice, and by the next day he has already succeeded, with Charlie gently scratching Scooby's ears.
