The Scooby-Doo Show season 3 episode 15, titled "The Warlock of Wimbledon," follows the iconic gang as they find themselves at a tennis tournament. The tournament is being held in a spooky old mansion, and strange occurrences have been happening on the premises. The gang quickly discovers that these strange happenings are the work of a warlock who has set up shop in the mansion's basement.
The warlock has been using his dark magic to control the players in the tournament, causing them to play poorly and throw their matches. The gang's investigation is complicated by the fact that the warlock has a familiar - a black cat that seems to have supernatural powers of its own.
As the gang delves deeper into their investigation, they uncover evidence that points towards a former tennis star as the true identity of the warlock. The discovery of this suspect's true identity puts the gang on the path towards stopping the warlock's plans.
The episode is full of the classic Scooby-Doo humor and hijinks, but also has its fair share of spooky moments. The warlock's lair in the mansion's basement is particularly creepy, with cobwebs, eerie lighting, and plenty of mysterious potions and tools. The cat familiar also adds an element of tension, as it seems to be able to disappear and reappear at will, and is seemingly able to communicate with its master.
Overall, "The Warlock of Wimbledon" is a classic Scooby-Doo episode that will delight fans of the franchise. It has all the elements of a great mystery, with clues, red herrings, and a satisfying reveal at the end. The tennis tournament setting is unique and adds to the episode's charm, allowing for some fun visual gags involving tennis balls and rackets. Fans of the gang's antics and of classic 1970s cartoons in general will not want to miss this episode.
