SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 43:00 Min.
First aired by CBS-TV on October 28, 1972, the episode’s guest stars are Sonny Bono & Cher. Bumping into married couple Cher & Sonny Bono, the Mystery Inc. gang join them at a condemned island resort that looks absolutely nothing like the outdated travel brochure.
Instead of a festive second honeymoon, a now-stranded Sonny & Cher join Scooby and his friends to find out what suspicious activities are going on at the rickety hotel. Once the hotel manager and sole maid vanish, the gang splits up to search the premises for more clues as to what sinister shenanigans exist beneath the resort.

REVIEW:
Despite the plotting’s utterly mediocre mystery, what makes this cartoon somehow watchable is Cher’s marital ‘snark-casm’ banter and trademark putdowns of husband Sonny Bono. Their guest chemistry with Mystery Inc. isn’t half-bad, as far as helping make nearly forty-five minutes float by. This episode may not be one of the best-remembered New Scooby-Doo Movies, but it’s by no means one the worst episode, either.
