Thoughts

Good, solid episode.

Too Much Detail Recap

The gang is camping in the woods. They hear howling then see floating red eyes in the woods. When they investigate, they find large wolf tracks. Velma notes the footprints look like they belong to a two legged animal. They follow the tracks to an old graveyard with an open grave. The tombstone notes the open grave belongs to Silas Long, a half-man half-wolf. 

The tracks continue out of the graveyard to an old mill. They split up to search. Scooby and Shaggy are stalked by the werewolf without realizing. They accidentally drop the werewolf through a trapdoor. Fred, Velma and Daphne find a secret room with a map and the werewolf. Scooby and Shaggy reunite with the gang. They are pleased they didn't find the werewolf. Their pleasure at not finding the werewolf is short-lived.

Daphne, Fred and Velma run from Scooby and Shaggy when they mistake the wool covered pair for ghosts. Scooby and Shaggy quickly clean up and find the rest of the gang hiding in strange barrels with rubber tubing sticking out.

Outside, they find a boat receiving a rail car. Fred, Daphne and Velma investigate the car's origin and get locked in a building. Scooby and Shaggy follow the car to its destination inside the boat. Their investigation is interrupted by an attack from the werewolf. They distract the werewolf with a haircut routine that calls to mind Bugs Bunny and Rudolph in Water, Water Everyhare.

Shaggy and Scooby escape into a tunnel that takes them into the locked room of the rest of the gang. The gang's super aggressive question of Shaggy's report is so weird. Also, Shaggy says "You know how Freddy and Velma are when they have a mystery to unsolve." This puts the mystery obsession on Fred and Velma and not him or Daphne or Scooby. 

They see the werewolf pulling Bahing barrels into the boat. 

The plan is bad. Fred's crane game plan is bad. I don't even want to go into it. It's a bad and over complicated plan.

Shaggy and Scooby almost fall down a waterfall. The gang catches them in a giant net. The werewolf hangs on for dear life and calls for help.

The unmasked werewolf is a sheep rustler.
