I had a claim on that land. And I would've gotten away with it too, if you lousy kids hadn't come along.
Synopsis:
After unmasking "The Bog Beast" in some mucky swampland, the gang takes the slime-covered Mystery Machine to a car wash. As the van moves through the sudsy water-pressured works and great whirling brushes, Scooby spots a tentacled, cyclopean brush monster dubbed "The Clean Fiend". A second run through the wash proves the existence of The Clean Fiend to the rest of the gang, who characteristically vow to get to the bottom of this mystery.
