A Pup Named Scooby Doo season 2 episode 5, titled "Night of the Living Burger," takes viewers on another thrilling adventure with the beloved Mystery Inc. gang. In this episode, Scooby-Doo and his friends find themselves facing a mysterious and bizarre burger-related mystery.

The story begins as Scooby and the gang receive an invitation to the grand opening of a new fast-food restaurant called "Burger Bazaar." The gang is excited to try out the latest burgers and indulge in some delicious treats. However, things quickly take a spooky turn when they arrive at the restaurant.

Upon entering Burger Bazaar, the gang notices some peculiar occurrences. The lights flicker, the cash register malfunctions, and a strange smell permeates the air. Shaggy and Scooby are quick to notice these strange happenings, as their noses lead them directly to the delicious hamburgers. Always the food lovers, they can't resist getting their paws on a mouthwatering burger.

As the gang settles down at a table to enjoy their meals, they suddenly hear a blood-curdling howl coming from the kitchen. Sensing trouble, Scooby and Shaggy bravely (or rather, hungrily) rush to investigate. Inside the kitchen, they discover the source of the howling: a giant burger with glowing eyes and arms!

Unbeknownst to our young detectives, the monstrous burger is not the product of a mad chef's experiments gone wrong, but instead the result of a clever disguise. The gang soon discovers that the seemingly haunted restaurant is not what it appears to be. Someone is using the spooky atmosphere and monster burger disguise as a cover for their nefarious schemes.

Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, Scooby and the gang split up to search for clues. Fred and Velma head towards the office to investigate the restaurant's paperwork and uncover any potential motives for the strange occurrences. Meanwhile, Daphne decides to search the restaurant for hidden passages or secret rooms, suspecting that someone may be using the haunted atmosphere to their advantage.

As for Scooby and Shaggy, they remain in pursuit of the monstrous burger. Their instinct tells them that the living burger is more than just a tasty, edible monster. As they follow its trail of mayonnaise and ketchup, they find themselves face-to-face with a secret room hidden behind restaurant supplies. Inside, they stumble upon the real mastermind behind the haunted Burger Bazaar - none other than Mr. Wetherby, the restaurant's owner and seemingly innocent entrepreneur.

But why would Mr. Wetherby orchestrate such bizarre events to scare away customers? What are his true intentions? The gang is determined to find out. With the help of their keen detective skills and Scooby's insatiable hunger for justice, they uncover a web of secrets and motives that go far deeper than they could have imagined.

As the episode reaches its climax, the Mystery Inc. gang confronts Mr. Wetherby, who is revealed to be a desperate businessman trying to save his failing restaurant from closure. His plan was to create a spooky atmosphere to attract customers interested in paranormal encounters. Unfortunately for him, his monstrous burger disguise and strange pranks only managed to scare customers away further.

In the end, the gang restores order, solves the mystery, and helps Mr. Wetherby find a more legitimate and successful way to run his restaurant. The episode concludes with laughter and a well-deserved burger feast for Scooby and Shaggy.

"Night of the Living Burger" showcases the resilient and resourceful nature of the Mystery Inc. gang, as they solve another puzzling case while enjoying some tasty snacks along the way.
