What happens

Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers is a 1987 animated comedy horror made-for-television film produced by Hanna-Barbera as part of the Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 series. The 92 minutes film aired in syndication. It is the first full-length film in the Scooby-Doo franchise. In the film, Norville "Shaggy" Rogers inherits a country estate and a Southern plantation from a recently deceased uncle. While trying to claim his inheritance, Shaggy is harassed by the estate's ghosts (including a Headless Horseman). Scrappy-Doo has the idea to hire a ghost hunting team to deal with the problem. The ghost hunters are themselves a trio of inept ghosts, loosely based on the screen persona of the comedy team The Three Stooges. Meanwhile, Shaggy also has to deal with a trigger-happy enemy of his uncle, who wants to shoot him, and a girl who wishes to marry him, both to settle the feud between their families. A subplot involves treasure hunting, in search of the estate's missing collection of family jewels. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
