After Gomez and Matricia leave, the gang has dinner, when, all of a sudden, they hear the Giant Vulture and suddenly Wednesday disappears. A note is near her chair, telling the Addams Family to leave the residence. The gang decides to investigate, while Shaggy is reluctant to do so. After they excavate the residence they start to lose hope, while at the Okeefenokee, Gomez gets caught by an octopus. Meanwhile, they discover a door locked with a padlock. Using Velma's hairpin, they discover Wednesday sitting down. After finding a note in Wednesday's voodoo doll as well as one in an egg the vulture laid, they eventually discover that the vulture is a giant helicopter operated by the disgruntled housekeepers, who planned the event to scare away the Addams Family. However, the children are happy with the result, and Lurch pulls the Mystery Machine up, therefore continuing the adventure further.
