Scooby and the gang find an abandoned farmhouse after running out of gas; but the farmer tries to run them off with a shotgun, believing them to be reporters. Ever since witnesses have reported a mysterious spacecraft nearby, the newspaper men have been pestering him. They especially want to know about the glowing footprints all around the farmhouse–and the glowing, ghostly spaceman who has been making them. The gang has found another mystery; and it takes them to an abandoned airfield. There they see the spaceman–and hear the hideous cackling from his skull-like head–for themselves. A newspaper, fresh food and a newly fueled jeep are among the many clues that lead them to a solution; but a wind tunnel will blow the decisive clue right before their eyes.
