Plot

Shaggy Rogers and his dog Scooby-Doo take their friends in Mystery Inc. to San De Pedro, California for the "Mega Mondo Pop! Comic ConApalooza" to enter a costume contest as their favorite comic book superheroes, the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt. There, they meet Jennifer Severin, a film producer in the midst of making a dark and gritty Blue Falcon film; the film's leading actor Brad Adams; Hank Prince, the owner of a comic book store that Shaggy frequents; Hank's nephew Austin; Owen Garrison, the washed-up star of the original Blue Falcon TV series; and Jack Rabble, a former BattleBots champion. When Shaggy and Scooby try to get Garrison's autograph, he instead rants to them about how Severin's studio plan to erase all trace of his series in preparation for the film. Amidst a screening for the film's trailer, a villain from the Blue Falcon TV series called Mr. Hyde emerges to terrorize the conventioneers.

Offering to investigate the attack, Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, and Daphne Blake suspect Garrison of being the culprit. However, Shaggy and Scooby refuse to believe this and use surveillance footage to reveal Severin stands to gain increased publicity for her film from the incident and Adams dislikes his role and hopes it will draw attention away from him so he can quit. Realizing Hyde's attack was based on a previous episode of the Blue Falcon TV series and that his next attack will involve green ooze capable of turning people into monsters, Shaggy and Scooby flee into a storage room, where they find Hyde's lair before Hyde himself chases them out and attacks the city with soda. Having been humiliated during the attack, Mayor Ron Starlin blames Shaggy and Scooby, fires Mystery Inc., and orders the convention's head of security James Becker to remove them.

Upon learning the Blue Falcon film premiere is being held at the local baseball stadium and deducing it will be Hyde's next target, Fred, Velma, and Daphne gain Austin and Rabble's help in sneaking past Becker so they can see Hyde's lair for themselves. There, they learn that Hyde had been spying on the convention and baseball stadium before witnessing a giant Hyde rampaging in the latter. Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby find themselves trapped in the stadium while searching for something to eat. Seeing Austin in danger, the pair rescue him before their friends arrive to defeat the giant, discovering it was a mecha seemingly piloted by Garrison. Despite his pleas that someone knocked him out and placed him inside, Garrison is nearly arrested. However, Shaggy and Scooby see the real Hyde robbing an armored car. Scooby foils the robbery, but the latter summons his Hideous Hyde Hound to attack him. Nonetheless, Garrison joins Scooby in defeating it and Hyde. Mystery Inc. unmask Hyde, revealing Rabble, who reveals he sought revenge on the convention after he was ousted from the RC combat league for using live missiles on one of his robots and being forced to make money off of convention appearances ever since. After forcing the premiere to be held at the stadium and planting Garrison in the mecha, he used the attack to force the armored car into a detour so he could steal the convention's $5,000,000 entrance fees for himself. As Becker and the authorities arrest Rabble, Starlin arrives to congratulate and apologize to Mystery Inc. before re-granting them access to the convention.

Sometime later, an impressed Severin produces a sequel to her Blue Falcon film, with Garrison guest starring as Adams' character's father and Scooby as Dynomutt.
