The No-Face Zombie Chase Case is the eighth episode of The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour, later repackaged as the eighth episode of the first season of The Scooby-Doo Show.

Premise

While eating dinner, Scooby witnesses a burglary. A valuable coin was stolen by a faceless zombie. As they follow the zombie to the Dilly Dally Dolly Co. toy factory, they encounter a gorilla who might also be part of the robbery.

Synopsis

The gang is having dinner in a sandwich shop; next door, a strange zombie-like figure without a face in a pink cloak is robbing a coin store. Scooby witnesses this and tells the gang, who then informed the police about what Scooby saw, but the lieutenant is skeptical. The coin shop owner claims that the burglar stole the Golden Galleon, a supposedly cursed valuable, so Mystery Inc. get to work and begin following the "No-Face Zombie". They follow him to the Dilly Dally Dolly Co., where they are greeted by a night watchman, who scolds them and tells them to leave. So they set up a plan to enter through an open window. Scooby is catapulted inside, then Fred and Shaggy are lifted up with a crate on a forklift, but a car pulls up, forcing Velma and Daphne to hide in the crate. One of the men from the car drives the forklift into a garage and Velma and Daphne become trapped in the crate. Fred, Scooby and Shaggy hurry to the garage and freed them just before running into the two men who are the owners of the factory, Mr. Dilly and Mr. Dally. After hearing the gang's story, Mr. Dilly and Mr. Dally instructs them to stay in the office while they search for the zombie. Mr. Dilly and the watchman begin searching and Mr. Dally is grabbed by the No-Face Zombie. Inside the office, Velma finds a magazine with three pages torn out, their first clue. Then, the No-Face Zombie attacks Scooby and the gang, but they manage to swipe the Golden Galleon and flee from the zombie. When they make a run for it, they discover another villain-a giant gorilla is now after the gang! Scooby and Shaggy run into the cafeteria and have a run-in with the popcorn machine.

After they've escaped the goons, they phone the police and he tells them they will have to wait there to wait for the lieutenant to arrive. The gorilla and the zombie make an appearance again and chases them all. In the process, the zombie swipes the galleon. They are chased around some more, and while running, Scooby tumbles into a duplication machine and gets multiplied. After being found in a room full of multiple dogs, Scooby joins Shaggy outside to find a newsstand and get another copy of the magazine that Velma found, to see which pages were torn out. But the gorilla appears and chases them back to the factory. Meanwhile, Velma, Fred and Daphne manage to steal the coin back from the zombie. The lieutenant, Scooby and Shaggy arrive at the factory and run into Fred and the girls. But the zombie appears and takes the golden galleon again. After a short chase, they crash into the zombie and discover that it was a computerized robot. The gorilla appears and swipes the coin, and tries to make a getaway, but Shaggy and Scooby act fast and trap him.

The gorilla is unmasked as Mr. Dilly. He read about the coin article in that magazine and programmed that robot to steal the coin because it was worth a million dollars. Then when the gang was onto him, he donned the gorilla costume to scare them off, and had Mr. Dally and the night watchman locked in the storeroom.

As a reward, Mr. Dally opens up the factory cafeteria. However, when Shaggy and Scooby order some burgers, Dally reveals they're all gone as the duplicates of Scooby ate them all.

• TBA

Miscellaneous

• Scooby Snacks bribe: 1.

• "Ruh-roh" count: 1.
• "Jeepers" count: 0.
• "Jinkies" count: 0.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

• When the No-Face Zombie puts his hands on the glass of the Main St. Coin Shop door (as he's about to break it down), "Coins" is misspelled as "Cions".
• When Fred assured Scooby about the stuffed animals, the latter's nose turned brown for a split second.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

• Scooby fell into a toy duplicating machine so the Scooby copies are merely toys. If that's the case, how can they eat anything? This is especially strange, because earlier in this episode the food (Scooby Snack) was used to distinguish the real Scooby from his copies.
• There is no such thing as a sultan of Swahili; in fact, there is no country known as Swahili. The closest would be the Swahili Coast, which is an East African region that encompasses multiple countries such as Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, and Comoros. While a few sultanates used to be active in the Swahili Coast, none were still around by the time this episode was produced during the mid-1970s.
