A demon uses magic ink and draws himself into the newspaper comics. The paper is delivered to the gang by Weerd and Bogel.

Outraged by being denied membership to S.A.P.S., Weerd and Bogel steal some important mystic paraphernalia. This same material is needed to keep Vince from fading away. The S.A.P.S. and Scooby and the gang all chase the two inept ghosts.

Upon Scooby's return to his home town, a demon circus comes to plague Doosberry. It's up to the gang to save the city from being taken over by the phantom three-ring villains.
