The gang is in Chicago to investigate a crazy robot. It doesn't take them long to find it. This is an episode with a fictional character as the guest star. Steve Urkel was a main character played by Jaleel White on Family Matters. The character made appearances on other shows like Full House. The Urkel-bot in the episode first appeared on Family Matters. Jaleel White originated the role 30 years ago.

An Urkel-bot chases The Mystery Machine and leads to the tragic loss of a barrel of super hot Scooby Snax. They meet Steve Urkel. He asks the gang to help him find his robot. They are hesitant. Clues lead them to the Museum of Future Sciences. Steve reveals he donated the robot to the museum.

The museum curator, museum security guard and the lunch lady all vow to get their revenge on Steve. They meet the first person that apparently likes Steve, the janitor. They find Urkelbot. He's damaged. Steve does a quick repair before they attacked by the Technomancer and robots from the exhibit.

A clue leads them to the coal mine exhibit and a metal smelting set up. The smelter has been used recently to smelt gold. Steve shares the legend of the gold submarine. They search the sub but find no clue to the gold. Scooby finds a pretty obvious clue to the gold from the janitor just outside the submarine. The exhibit has a diving suit in the same style as Captain Cutler's. It's destroyed in an accident by Steve.

They are pursued by robots. Velma uses an invention by Steve to behead a pair of robots. They discover part of the submarine is made of plastic.

Steve creates a secret weapon to use against the Technomancer. It's Urkelbot 2.0. The Urkelbot nerds so hard the robots flee. Velma uses the distraction to plant a disc on the Technomancer.

The museum curator likes him now and doesn't care about the destruction because gold.

Steve blows up the Mystery Machine then flies off into the night.

This is a great episode. Steve Urkel is a fun presence in the show. Jaleel White easily slips back into the role.
