Synopsis for "Love Potions for Sale"
Sylvester is hanging out in a café with friends as he overhears a group of females lament how much they would love to have Scooter for themselves. Their conversation gives Sylvester an idea on how to capitalize on their desires. He rushes home and contacts a witch doctor half way around the world. He arranges to barter the ingredients for a love potion in exchange for Six Beatle albums, four Paul Reveres and a couple of Dave Clarks. The Ingredients arrive and Sylvester finds himself mixing the concoction in the basement of his house. He decides to test out the potion on an alleycat named Marilyn who doesn't particularly care for Sylvester. Upon drinking the potion, the cat is enamored with Sylvester and constantly sticks by his side. Sylvester then goes around selling his love potion to any female that he finds. He promises each one that they are getting the only sample and that they can use it to make Scooter fall in love with them. The lovestruck females drink Sylvester's potion but upon waking up the next morning they discover that they have all grown beards. Scooter steps outside and spots the group of bearded females and finds them to be amusing. He also makes the remark that his skin is too tender to be kissed by bearded girls. The bearded teens are livid, and they approach Sylvester to return them back to normal. Sylvester attempts to chop off their beard with a table saw but is unsuccessful, he then attempts to burn off the beards with a chemical but again finds failure. He then tosses a bottle of chemicals into his cauldron which creates an explosion. The room is immediately filled with a chemical cloud and once the smoke clears, the teen females find that their beards have disappeared. Sylvester is left wondering as to why his love potion did not work. In the end, the only one affected with love is Marilyn the alleycat.

Synopsis for "Zekefreak -- The Swingin' Monster!"
Scooter and his friends are spending a fun afternoon surfing on the beach. Sylvester then makes the suggestion to go to Zekefreak's cave. He explains that according to legend, the area that they are in is the place where an ancient medicine man named Shla-Mele kept his prehistoric monster. Sylvester then beckons the monster by yelling the work Zekefreak. A green skinned scaley monster suddenly appears much to the astonishment of the group of teens. They panic and attempt to flee from the monster but Scooter then accidentally drops his guitar. The monster seems fascinated with the musical instrument, Scooter then picks up the instrument and begins to play a song for the monster. Zekefreak is enamored with the music and begins to dance to the beat. The teens quickly realize that the monster is harmless and merely wants to appreciate the same things that they do. They all have a fun time at the beach but at the end of the day it is time to bid the monster farewell. Zekefreak seems sad and disappointed that the teens are leaving. Scooter offers to take the monster home to his aunts house. Surprisingly, Scooters aunt is not intimidated by the monster. She feeds him and cares for him as if the monster were just another teenager. Zekefreak continues to enjoy the comforts of Scooters home but then suddenly he is spotted by a neighbor and they summon the police. A squad car is dispatched to pick up the monster but the teens disguise Zekefreak in a trench coat and glasses.
