Had Daphne not kept harping on the clothing Verona gave her, Velma wouldn't have realized that Verona was the Creepy Keeper. She would have been free to continue driving her competitors out of business by keeping the lighthouse off when their ships were due.

While in the Lake Michigan area to visit Fred's uncle Karl, the gang stumbles on triple trouble -- an undead lighthouse keeper, a ghost ship and its skeleton crew, and Verona Dempsey, a rival sleuth whose condescending nature and uncanny skill quickly rouse Velma's temper.
!!This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The episode introduces a girl named Verona Dempsey who finds clues and catches crooks all on her own (all while being bitchy to Velma), and also finds time to run a clothing shop with wares that Daphne squees over. It turns out Verona is one of the episode's two villains.

The aforementioned people/items turn out to be Daphne, Velma, and Fred (respectively) in disguise, with Daphne including a fake beard in her fisherman costume.
* InspirationalInsult: Fred convinces Shaggy and Scooby to act as bait by telling them that the Creepy Keeper said Scooby Snacks were disgusting and that he wouldn't eat them even if no other snacks existed.
* KarmicDeath: According to legend, the ghost was originally a greedy lighthouse keeper who turned off the light in the middle of a horrible storm, leaving an incoming ship, the ''Dauntless'' to crash on the rocks. The ''Dauntless'' was carrying treasure, and he planned to retrieve it using his knowledge of where the ship sank. However, he died immediately thereafter when a branch thrown by the storm knocked him down the trapdoor.
* MeaningfulEcho: Near the beginning, Verona notes a strange van, which Velma claims the gang already saw. Verona asks if she already photographed the plates and sent the photo in for testing, then, leaving Velma fumbling. At the end, Velma reveals that according to her research, the van belonged to some storm chasers. Verona unconvincingly claims that she knew that, begging the gang to believe her.
* MeaninglessVillainVictory: According to legend, the lighthouse keeper successfully sank the ''Dauntless'', making him the only one to know where to look for the treasure she was carrying. However, debris from the storm killed him immediately thereafter. As Uncle Karl says, he never even made it out of the lighthouse.
* NearVillainVictory: When Verona catches Crusty [=McPete=] and shows off evidence that he was behind the ghost ship, the gang initially assumes the mystery is solved. Had Daphne not kept harping on the clothing Verona gave her, Velma wouldn't have realized that Verona was the Creepy Keeper. She would have been free to continue driving her competitors out of business by keeping the lighthouse off when their ships were due.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Verona giving Daphne some of her clothing winds up unraveling her entire plot. Though Velma disliked her, she only realized that Verona had to be the Creepy Keeper because the clothing was made of imported fabric. The fabric had to come through the harbor, and it was too big a coincidence that the Creepy Keeper's habit of messing with the light never harmed ''her'' business.
* ProphetEyes: The ghost has glowing blank eyes, or, as Shaggy puts it, "eyes like spooky spotlights."
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: When Verona says they need a trap, Fred quickly begins reeling off a list of NoodleImplements that they need to catch the villain. Verona snaps at him to just use a net.
* YouRemindMeOfX: At the end of the episode, Fred says Velma's EvilCounterpart, Verona, reminded him of someone, but he can't think exactly who. Daphne and Velma are amused by it.
