Scooby-Doo was a large, loveable but cowardly Great Dane who hung around four California high school students (Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy). The four teenagers were in constant search of mysteries and adventures, driving around in a bright green van known as the Mystery Machine.

At the first hint of trouble, Scooby-Doo (and usually, Shaggy as well) running for cover; they usually found themselves in even deeper trouble.

The mysteries were always solved by the ending of each series (the villain proclaiming, "And I would have gotten away with it, if it hadn't have been for you meddling kids!" or some similar line).—Brian Rathjen imdb.com
