Mystery Inc. (Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo) are attending the grand opening of the Coolsonian Criminology Museum, the premiere exhibit displaying the monster costumes of criminals they dealt with in past cases. However, the celebrations are cut short when the reanimated Pterodactyl Ghost attacks, controlled by the Evil Masked Figure, who boldly declares that Mystery Inc. will be destroyed. He escapes with his quarry and two monster costumes. Heather Jasper-Howe, a journalist, starts a smear campaign against the gang to discredit them. Velma finds a pterodactyl scale and analyses it, confirming it to be real. The gang conclude one of their old enemies is the masked man wanting revenge. They at first suspect their old enemy Jonathon Jacobo who was the original creator of the pterodactyl ghost, and knew how to create monsters to life, but then news breaks out to the gang that Jacobo has drowned during an attempted escape from prison, so the gang guess Jeremiah Wickles, their first foe and the Black Knight Ghost's portrayer, and Jacobo's roommate in prison, is responsible.
