Plot

As summer vacation begins, the group heads to meet with Daphne's uncle, Thornton "Thorny" Blake V, who has given them summer jobs at his country club in Erie Point in order to pay back damages from a previous mystery. After a frog monster attacks on the night of the club's opening party, they investigate lighthouse keeper Elmer Uggins, the only person who has taken a picture of the lake monster. He tells them the story of the lake monster: when people first settled in Erie Point, a witch named Wanda Grubwort, who was living there, told them to leave, but they ignored her warning. To get revenge on them for trespassing on her home, she used her magic staff, which used moonstones as the source of its power, to transform a frog into a monster that attacked the villagers before she was burned at the stake as punishment for her crimes.

The next day, Velma shows the group security footage of the lake monster meeting a mysteriously cloaked figure on the beach. Although they attempt to analyze the footage to see the figure's face, Velma accidentally spills green tea on the computer, destroying the footage. The situation is complicated by friction between Fred and Daphne, whose relationship has become strained due to them socializing with others and Shaggy's feelings for Velma causing him to alienate Scooby.

The next morning, they find Velma unconscious on the beach and Shaggy notices warts on her hand, which she dismisses. After they inform her of the latest monster attack, Daphne says that she saw purple paint on the figure's cloak and suggests that they check out a boat that they saw on their way to Erie Point. Shaggy asks Velma out on a date, and things go well until he strikes a match to light candles, which frightens her. Scooby attempts to ruin the date, causing Shaggy to drop a moonstone that he planned to give to Velma as a surprise. As Fred and Daphne head to see the boat, the monster locks them in a flooding room, but they escape.

The group visits the home of Hilda Trowburg, Wanda's descendant, and see the figure through the windows, who they discover to be Velma. However, she claims to not be Velma and attacks them, knocking them unconscious. After they awaken, Trowburg tells them that Wanda's spirit has possessed Velma and they realize that their infighting caused them to miss the signs that Velma was possessed - the warts on her body, her fear of fire and love of moonstones, and how she spilled tea to hide her identity. At Trowburg's suggestion, they pursue Velma to the underwater caves, where she transforms a trio of frogs into monsters that attack them.
