An adaptation of “Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog”; the rest of the Mystery Gang are as they appear in Mindy Kaling’s “Velma” show but their personalities are accurate to their classic selves.

While unmasking a bank-robbing clown, Scooby-Doo hears a strange noise and is driven to dance before he runs away. Meanwhile, Courage appears to be having the same problem, though Courage's owners Eustace and Muriel Bagge don't seem to notice. The gang rushes after Scooby, only to find that they have ended up in Nowhere, Kansas, where many hostile cicadas are surrounding Courage and Scooby. After they kill the cicadas, Eustace calls them over to the Bagge household where they properly meet him and Muriel. Both the Scooby gang and the Bagge family are invited to dinner with the Mayor of Nowhere. On the way there, Scooby and Courage are attacked by a giant Cicada Queen, resulting in the destruction of Muriel’s truck. Arriving at the Mayor's mansion, they are offered a tour of an attached museum detailing Nowhere's bizarre history of attracting weirdness to the town. However, Norville, Scooby and Courage look for something to eat while Muriel heads back to the Bagge residence to rid herself of the nuisance. Norville, Scooby and Courage are attacked by the Cicada Queen, whose brood knocks Fred, Daphne, Velma and Eustace into a hidden cave. There, they discover a strange machine randomly sending out cellphone calls; Norville, Scooby and Courage destroy it while escaping the Cicada Queen.

Attempting to return to the Bagge residence to unravel the mystery, the group is once again attacked by the Cicada Queen, which kidnaps most of them, leaving only Scooby and Courage behind. Plugging Velma's personal tablet into Courage’s laptop, they discover that the cicadas’ unnatural size and every other strange encounter Courage dealt with was the result of a dark matter meteor, the one that presumably wiped out the dinosaurs, which is buried under the spot where the Bagge house is. Courage and Scooby retrieve the meteor and rescue the gang. Their attempt to escape is thwarted by the Cicada Queen, who takes the meteor and holds Eustace hostage, forcing Courage to face his fears and confront it. After a long battle, the Cicada Queen is trapped under scraps from the Bagge windmill.

The female General and Lieutenant soon arrive to apprehend the Cicada Queen, which is revealed to be a mech piloted by two of Courage's most recurring enemies: the villainous canine mastermind Muttz and the French con artist duck Le Quack. After discovering the meteor's existence, they teamed up to take over Nowhere's political facilities and use the resources to dig up the meteor so they can hypnotize and rob several well-off locals, stashing it at the Bagge residence (Muriel discovered this earlier, but wrote it off as a windfall on her end); when they learned that the Mystery Gang was in the area, they used the meteor to brainwash the local cicada population to scare them off in an attempt to "up their game". The General attempts to secure the meteor to be used ostensibly as a weapon, but at Courage's suggestion, it is turned into a disco ball so the group can celebrate. Therefore, Courage closes the adaptation by saying "Well, goodnight, folks. Bye!", bidding the readers farewell.
