The Tar Monster is the fifth episode of the third season of The Scooby-Doo Show, and the twenty-ninth episode overall in the series.
Premise
The gang encounters a tar monster on a visit to an underground city in Turkey.
Synopsis
The gang heads to Turkey to visit their friend, Dr. Brixton, who has discovered a buried city that has remained untouched for thousands of years. Dr. Brixton informs the gang that his workers were all frightened off by a tar monster, meaning the digging had be postponed. The underground city was said to be guarded by the monster, who protected the ancient treasure. The professor's assistant, Stoner, was kidnapped by the monster.
After a brief encounter with the tar monster, the gang follows his tracks to a nearby tar pool. There they find an ancient piece of pottery. The next day, they head down to the ancient city with Dr. Brixton, who discovers that the ancient treasure has been stolen. The gang searches for clues, and find pottery similar to the one found the night before, as well as another tar pool. The monster gives chase to Shaggy and Scooby while they search. Fred, Velma and Daphne find the final clue when they discover a map of the underground city. They trap the monster, who turns out to be Stoner.
He used an air compressor and a scuba suit to swim through the tar pools so he could steal the treasure. After he was arrested, the gang uses the map to find the missing treasure. They locate it behind a hidden wall in the inner sanctum.
