The gang arrive at the old Darrington mansion, where actor Creator/GeorgeTakei is being stalked by a ghost knight as well as legal issues while he attempts to get the place designated a historic landmark.
!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* CatchPhrase: Takei's catchphrase "Oh my" comes up extremely often. Shaggy and Scooby even take turns goofing off and attempting to imitate the way he says it.
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: The gardener, Jimmy, turns out to be the villain. He had discovered the old passages and the documents by accident in the course of his duties.
* IronicNurseryTune: Darla Darrington, the not-entirely-stable daughter of the old owner, sings a little song about people coming to her papa's house and never leaving while jumping rope.
* MadwomanInTheAttic: While he, Shaggy, and George are cooking, Scooby finds a cackling lady in the cupboard. She turns out to be Darla Darrington, the daughter of the house's original owner. She's been living in the secret passages for years without anyone knowing. At the end of the episode, George gets her house declared a historic landmark and leaves her to it. She in turn tells him her father would have liked him.
* MrFanservice: Takei takes off his shirt while fencing with Duke Doombringer.
-->'''George Takei''': Well Shaggy, when you have abs like these, it's nice to show them off once in a while.
* RedBaron: The duke who is the villain of the piece was called Doombringer because of how bloody he was.
* ShoutOut:
** George Takei [[Recap/StarTrekS1E4TheNakedTime wields a fencing sabre while shirtless and calls his opponent Richelieu]].
** Mystery Inc. first show up [[Recap/StarTrekS1E21TheReturnOfTheArchons cloaked in brown hooded robes]].
** George Takei tells Fred to drive faster. Fred replies, "She'll shake apart!" George replies, "[[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry Shake her apart, then!]]"
* YouWannaGetSued: Takei stops Shaggy and Scooby before they can actually say "''Franchise/StarTrek''", commenting that they don't say names of famous space TV franchises. He then asks if Scooby is an attorney.
