Synopsis
The gang decides to visit Daphne's aunt, Olivia Dervy, who lives in New York. On the way to her apartment, they witness a robbery in a jewelry store. Scooby falls down into the sewer and sees a strange cat-like creature carrying an armful of expensive jewelry. They head to Olivia's apartment, where she tells them she has been suffering from terrible nightmares. A few weeks ago, she received a cat medallion in the mail, and began having dreams ever since. She dreamed she turned into a cat creature and began to commit robberies. They call her doctor, Dr. Bell, to give her some prescriptions. After that, The gang decides to investigate who sent Olivia the package, along with the robbery in the jewelry store.
Shaggy and Scooby discover the package was sent from a cemetery, where they find the crypt where the cat creature lies. Meanwhile, Fred, Velma, and Daphne, discover that there is a trap door in the jewelry store that lead to the cemetery. The gang meets up in the cemetery and head back to the hotel, where Olivia has had another nightmare. Also, there are wet paw-prints leading from her window to her bed, convincing her that she is really transforming into a cat creature. The gang devises a scheme to catch the cat creature. They eventually catch him after Scooby-Doo leads him on a harrowing elevator ride and discover that it is Dr. Bell.
He used the cat medallion to hypnotize Olivia so he could pin his robberies on her, and escape with millions of dollars worth of jewelry. The Doctor was taken to custody by the police.
