"Lock, Stock, and Peril" is the second segment of the seventeenth episode of the Disney Channel animated series, The Ghost and Molly McGee.
Synopsis[]
When the McGees get locked in the basement, Molly and Scratch seek help, but have trouble remaining focused.
Plot[]
The McGees are in the basement trying to fix a fuse after the lights in their house blew out. Scratch had inadvertently caused it due to using up numerous electrical appliances in the bathroom. Molly is sent up to check on him as he was supposed to see if the lights were still working. Instead, Molly finds Scratch in the middle of pigging out on ice cream; claiming that he was saving it due to the power outage. Molly reluctantly agrees, but upon trying to return to the basement, slips on a banana peel and shuts the door; trapping her family down there. Molly and Scratch are tasked to go and find a way to unlock it, but are warned to be quick as they both have a habit of getting distracted.
Molly and Scratch go into town to see what they can get to rescue their family. Molly settles on going to Weird Larry, but Scratch distracts her with going for a quick stop to buy bath bombs. By the time they get out, which is at 2:03, Weird Larry's store has closed already at 2:00 and they resolve to chase him down, only to get distracted by various things and miss him at his home where he rides away. Meanwhile in the basement, Pete, Sharon and Darryl have opted to survive on the left over Halloween candy, but Darryl figures out that Sharon has been stashing more. The three split the basement into three areas and the family proceeds to go to war with one another over total control.
Eventually, Molly winds down and nearly gives up, but in a moment of unintentional reverse psychology from Scratch, Molly convinces Scratch to possess Weird Larry and together they ride through town and past numerous distractions, though they do briefly stop for some ice cream, before reaching home. Scratch lets go of Weird Larry and they convince him to unlock the basement door for them. Molly and Scratch find the family in the middle of their fight, but break it up and apologize to one another. Molly admits that she and Scratch were distracted before showing them a reindeer bath bomb, which turns out to not smell as nice as they thought.
