[edit] Plot
Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy Doo are on their way to a Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Girls, where they have been hired as gym teachers. Once there, however, they find that it is actually a school for girl ghouls. The pupils include Cybella, the daughter of Dracula; Elsa Frankenteen, the daughter of Frankensteen (a pun on Frankenstein's monster); Winnie, the daughter of a werewolf; Phantasma (usually called Phanty for short), the daughter of a phantom; and Tanis (which is a parody of an Egyptian city), The Mummy's daughter. Other residents of the school are Miss Grimwood, the headmistress, and her pet dragon Matches (who dislikes Scooby at first, but later becomes friends, and a strong liking for Scrappy).
Gym class soon starts, with the intent to train the girls for their upcoming volleyball match against the boys of the neighboring Calloway Military Academy (who have always beaten them). As an additional plot twist, Revolta, the self-styled Witch of the Web, plans to kidnap the girls and make them her slaves in order to control their parents, who had previously warned Shaggy and Scooby not to let any harm come to their girls. Despite being well-liked by all their students, Shaggy and Scooby runaway when monsters such as the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Godzilla enroll their daughters at the school the following year.
