The Scooby Dow Show | Season 1 | Episode 16 | The Spirits of 76 | 4/5
While in Washington D.C., the kids visit the Splitsonian Institution (a parody of the Smithsonian Institution), but lose Scooby and get locked in after hours. While searching for Scooby, they find strange goings on at the museum, like a locomotive moving on its own, and the ghosts of American traitors Benedict Arnold and William Demont and British spy John Andre haunting the building.

00:00There goes that local locomotive again.
00:04Hey, the cotton gin stopped.
00:07And so did the locomotive upstairs.
00:09There they go again.
00:11It's as if they were both run by the same motor,
00:14yet there's nothing connecting them.
00:16That's strange. Every time the cotton gin starts, the train roars.
00:20And every time it stops, the train stops.
00:24Look, that's funny.
00:26Every part of this cotton gin looks a hundred years old,
00:29except those shiny new gears at the top.
00:32And those brand-new belts and pulleys that run down the corridor.
00:36Look.
00:37Zoinks! More of those soggy shoe prints.
00:41The belts and the footprints both lead to that dead-end wall we saw before.
00:45And just like before, the footprints seem to go right under the wall.
00:49And the cables go right through it.
00:52Hmm.
00:56Huh?
00:58What happened?
01:00The whole wall swung around.
01:02But how? What made it go?
01:04Look.
01:06Whoa!
01:09Yikes! Stop already! I'm getting tellersick!
01:16Oh, I feel like my empty stomach is in my empty head.
01:20Oh, me and my big mouth.
01:23Yeah, you and your big mouth.
01:25Hey, we're in some old abandoned storm drain.
01:29So this is where all those wet footprints came from.
01:32Come on, let's follow those belts.
01:35It's cold.
01:37Come on, Scoob, we can't wait.
01:39Okay.
01:41Whoever said dog is man's best friend?
01:46Look.
01:48Those belts run from the cotton gin to this big drilling machine.
01:52And someone's drilled a hole right through that four-foot-thick concrete wall.
01:56I wonder what's inside these big bulging burlap bags.
02:00Zoinks!
02:02We have new hundred-dollar bills!
02:05Hundred-dollar bills?
02:07Thousands of them.
02:09Something sure is fishy in this storm drain.
02:11Come on, let's see what's on the other side.
02:13Printing presses.
02:15Dozens of huge printing presses.
02:18Counterfeiters.
02:20Those spirits of 76 must be counterfeiting those new hundred-dollar bills.
02:24Counterfeiter's my foot.
02:26The only printing presses in the world this big
02:29are in the United States Bureau of Printing and Engraving.
02:32Where the government prints money.
02:34The U.S. Mint.
02:36We passed it driving up to the museum.
02:38It's only a few blocks away.
02:40And we walked a few blocks through that storm drain.
02:43Yeah, I think I hear a familiar sound
02:46that I wish I didn't think I heard.
02:49Shh, someone's coming.
02:51Quick, duck behind this press.
02:53Quick, duck behind this press.
03:15The glow coats are coming!
03:23The glow coats are coming!
03:42Jinkies, I hope this heap doesn't run out of gas.
03:45You mean steam.
03:47Yikes, they're gaining on us, Scoob.
03:49Faster, faster!
03:54Look out! Bunker Hill's dead ahead!
03:58Oh, my gosh!
04:00They forgot to put brakes on this jalopy.
04:04Yikes, someone's shooting whole cannons at us.
04:07Hold tight, Scoob.
04:16Yikes, the steering's gone.
04:20Yikes and double yikes.
04:23I thought they outlawed fireworks.
04:30Yipe, yipe, yipe.
04:32And triple yipe.
04:35General Washington, I hope you don't mind
04:37if I borrow one of your ice cubes.
04:41The slippery ice ought to put them into a super skid.
