Premise

The guys are tanning aboard a cruise ship, when it hits a storm and they are washed overboard and sucked down to Atlantis, where they meet a half-man half-horse called a Centaur, who says "no one ever leaves Atlantis.

Synopsis

Shaggy, Scooby and Scrappy are out at sea on a cruise boat trying to get tanned on the deck. A violent storm brews and a big wave sweeps them off the boat and they are sucked down a vortex.

They land in Atlantis and hear a horse laughing. Scooby jumps, landing on a gargantuan statue, falls and lands on a fallen column. A boulder falls catapulting Scooby onto the back of a Grecian Centaur who says that no one who enters the lost world of Atlantis ever leaves.

Scrappy challenges ("Hold it, enough horsing around!"), They grab him and run hiding in vases. Scooby gets stuck upside down halfway in. The centaur kicks the vase and it rolls with Scooby, then rolls back tripping the centaur, who then crashes. Scooby rides him like a broncobuster.

The three run behind a stone door. They find bread in ancient ovens, but it turns to dust. The centaur finds them when Scooby sneezes. They then disguise as statues, but Scrappy gives them away, shouting "Right where we wanted him!"

Shaggy and Scooby disguise as a female centaur. Scrappy grabs the centaur from behind and a bust is knocked off onto Shaggy and Scooby, who still in disguise, stand, looking like a 4 armed monster, scaring the centaur. Scrappy then bowls over some columns which trap the centaur.

They run, and are sucked back up the vortex, and carried by a wave back onto the boat. They see and hear a horse, but it is only a man in disguise for a costume party, which they are just in time for. Shaggy says "We'll sit this one out", and he and Scooby relax in the deck chairs.
