Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJosie and the Pussycats, created for Archie Comics in the 1960s, were licensed by Hanna Barbera for Josie and the Pussycats (1970) and Josie and the Pussy Cats in Outer Space (1972). This 1973 crossover was their final HB appearance. They were intended to reappear in Scooby's Laff-A Lympics (1977), but Archie refused to renew the contract. The band would not make another screen appearance until the Josie and the Pussycats (2001) movie, making a gap of 28 years.
- GoofsAlthough Velma says that Injun Joe has a chain dragging from one wrist, in fact, his hands are manacled together.
- Crazy creditsThis episode and the next episode Mystery in Persia (1973) are the only episodes in Season 2 to have a red title card.

Featured review
Amazing one-time crossover between 2 great shows.
I've loved Scooby-Doo my entire life and I've always had a love for the Josie and the Pussycats which is one of the most underrated shows I've ever seen. 2 shows with similar plots and characters crossing over is always a fabulous idea.
Going into the episode, I found it very entertaining and fun to watch. The plot is basically simple. Scooby and the Gang investigate a showboat that is believed to be haunted and they encounter Josie and her gang. They decided to team up and of course solve the entire case.
Pretty much everything is good with a few cons. Cons would probably be the bland villains and at times animated errors. One of my complaints was the chemistry could have been developed a little better. But it didn't bother me.
Overall 9/10
