The gang finds vanished dolphins, cracks a drug ring and clears Red Herring's name.
Thoughts, Details, Recap
The gang goes to the beach to help Velma's aunt with the disappearance of dolphins at the marine institute. Scooby and Shaggy are more interested in a beach party. Their dancing really reminds me of Tiny Toons. It's not surprising considering Tom Ruegger worked on both shows. The gang is attacked by Seaweed Monster Red Herring.
Aunt Thelma acts like Velma and they're both super cute. She shows them around the marine institute and introduces them to the last dolphin. They see the Headless Skateboarder then the last dolphin vanishes.
The gang is scared by Red Herring again, this time in a Headless Skateboarder costume. They meet a woman that works for beach patrol who pursues Red Herring and a surfer.
They go to a skatepark to follow up on the clue that the ghost skateboards. They meet the "real" phantom skateboarder again. They find out the skatepark owner that claimed he couldn't skate is a former champion skateboarder.
Red Herring hires them to clear his name after the beach patrol targets him as the main and only suspect. Red harasses them more after hiring them.
The phantom skateboarder targets them when they go diving for clues. They find the dolphins and learn the dolphins have been used to transport drugs.
They catch the headless skateboarder at the skatepark. It's the skateboarder that lied and the beach patrol officer who was helping him by framing Red. They are arrested by a surfer who's really a Johnny Utah type. The twist of the drug dealers trying to frame Red was an interesting wrinkle to the mystery.
