[theme music]

It was my idea.

You fool,
I thought of it first.

You think!
That's a laugh.



Stop this arguing!

He started it.
It was my idea.

[pulsating]

[clang]

[ringing]

Actually, it was my idea.

Are there any objections?

Good.

Brat-A-Rat.

Yeah, you called?

I have an idea.

Oh! [laughs]

Great one.
Oh, it sounds wonderful!

Oh, how clever you are.

I haven't told you yet.

Oh, yeah.
But it will be clever.

[chuckles] Tell me.

I will bring together
the most fearsome ghosts

in the universe.

Simmering specters from Saturn.

Gasping ghouls
from distant galaxies.

And shrieking...

Ooh, then we could trap
the Ghostbusters.

That was my idea.

[zap]

I don't believe
I heard you correct me.

What did you say, Fangster?

Ooh, it was your idea.

Why, thank you, Fangster.

Now then, these ghosts, they
will be the worst of the bad.

Oh, I love it!
I love it!

And they shall take care...

...of those miserable
ghost-bunglers.

The time has come
to set our trap.

Brilliant, Your Awfulness.

And you, Brat-A-Rat,
will be the bait.

Ah, huh, me?

Yes, my little rat.

You!

[Jake] Eddie, I'm gonna meet
Jessica for dinner.

[Eddie]
Take your time.

With me in charge, everything
here is gonna be just fine.

And you can
count on that, Jake.

See you later, guys.

A-and don't worry, Jake.
I-I'll be ready for anything.

[Eddie] What is that thing
supposed to do, Trace?

[grunting]

It's terrific, Trace.

But what does it do?

Wait.

[boing]

[thud]

[clang]

[boing]

A banana split!

Tracy, old pal,
you really are somethin'.

Aww, gee!

[ringing]

You've reached the Ghostbusters
and nobody's here.

Especially Eddie.

[Eddie]
Hey, give me that!

[laughs]

Hello, who is this?

[imitating girl]
Help! Help! A big bad ghost
is going to get me.

What can I do?

Ah, that's alright,
little girl.

I'll be there to help you.
Where are ya?

I'm in this little town
up in the mountains.

It's called Goldmine.
Please send help.

We'll be right there!

A bad, bad ghost is chasing
a poor, little girl.

Well, we've got to help her.

Hey, don't you think you better
wait until Jake gets back.

No, I'm in charge now,
and I say we help her.

Well, let's get
the team together.

Ghostbusters front and center!

Okey-dokey.

[Eddie] Come on, Tracy.
Let's go Ghostbusters!

Ooh, only two hits?

Where's Jake?

Jake's busy.
I'm in charge now.

Uh-oh, I don't like
the sound of that.

I'm sorry but I'm the
commander of this mission.

[swoosh]

Just my luck!

Uh, where's our
destination, c-commander?

It's a little town
in the mountains

called Goldmine.

W-we're on our way.

[swoosh]

Ah, such
a peaceful evening.

For once, we don't have
anything to worry about.

But I did leave Eddie
in charge of the office.

Oh, Jake, I'm sure
everything's just fine.

I hope you're right.

Jake, look!

[swoosh]

[Jake] Oh, my gosh!

Come in, Eddie.
Come in, Tracy.

G.B., please come in.

Oh, they must have
the communicator shut off.

Better check with Ansabone.

Okay. Ansabone,
come in, Ansabone.

[Ansabone] Eddie and the big
Bozo have gone off on their
own.

Where?

To Goldmine to rescue
a little girl from a ghost.

I think you've
got a problem.

I think so. Could we use your
copter to check it out?

Sure. Let's go.

Goldmine dead ahead.

[screech]

Okay, Tracy, we're here.

[grunting]

This place is an old ghost town

but we're not gonna let
that scare us, are we?

[grunting]

Whatever those ghosts dish out

we can dish right back, huh?

Right, Trace?

Uh-huh.

[screams]

[cow moos]

What's that?

Uh-oh. A ghost.

I'll get that bozo.

[grunting]

What?

[moos]

I knew that.

Mmm, me too.

[male #1]
Yee-haw!

[blabbering]

Sheriff Stumbleweed
of Goldmine, stranger.

G-g-ghost?

You got that right, partner.

Now, what do you think you're
gonna do with that fancy
gadget?

G-g-get rid of ghosts.

[zap]

Be careful with
that thing, will ya?

[zap]

[zap]

[crackling]

Oh, no! It's busted.

Oh, now I've really done it.

And all because we came
to help a little girl

who was scared by a big,
bad ghost.

[laughs]

Little girl?

Well, there hasn't been
a little girl in Goldmine

for close to a 100 years.

And I'm a good ghost.

Besides, there's no reason
for little boys and girls

to be scared of ghosts anyhow.

Hey, there's no little girl
and no big, bad ghost.

Looks like we can go home.

Why not stick around?

I heard there was some kind of

ghost convention
coming this way.

Ghost convention!

Yup. They're due any time.

That sounds like them now.

No sign of Eddie and Tracy.

We've gotta keep look...

Wait, down there.

[Jake] That little ghost town.

I'll bet that's Goldmine.

[Jessica]
Let's go down and check it out.

That old building looks
like a good place to start.

Nothing much going on here.

[Prime Evil]
That's what you think.

[Fangster howling]

[Prime Evil] Ghost-bunglers
we've been waiting for you

to join our little party.

[laughing]

[all laughing]

[ominous music]

Throw them in jail!

It's time for our evil
ghost convention

to make a few nasty plans.

[Stumbleweed]
Now wait just
a rotten minute, Prime.

This is my town.

I control this town, sheriff.

And you'll do
everything I say.

That's what you think.

That's what I know.

What's happenin'?

[zapping]

Let me give you
some advice, sheriff.

Learn some manners.

I control this town.

Yes, sir.

Now go!

Yes, sir.

[Eddie] Boy, I really
did it this time.

[Jake] Don't be too hard
on yourself, Eddie.

You were trying
to do the right thing.

Besides, we've got
other things to worry about.

Yeah. Like how to take care
of those bozos out there.

I got it.
[chuckles]

Tracy, I think we're gonna need
something more powerful

than a toy tank.

Maybe yes, maybe no.

[creaking]

[laughing]

[Fangster]
A little toy tank.

[laughing]

And look, it's goin'
to attack us.

[zaps]

Ooh, w-w-what's goin' on?

I-I can't move.

Oh, mini freezer.

A Mini Freezer.

Oh, Tracy, that's great.

How long will they be frozen?

[grunting]

Ten hours?

Ten minutes?

Ten seconds?

Uh-hah!

[all] Ten seconds!

Let's get out of here!

Okey-dokey.

Argh!

[thud]

Ooh! We'll get you,
Ghostbusters!

Not if we get you first!

[screaming]

Jake, Jake, where are ya?

Oh, it's all my fault.

I had to prove what a great
Ghostbuster I am.

Well, I really messed
everything up.

[Stumbleweed]
So you made a few mistakes.

'Tis my specialty.

Who said that?

S-sheriff Stumbleweed?

The same...
but don't be scared.

Remember, I told you
I'm a good ghost.

Oh, yeah.

And listen, everybody
makes mistakes.

'Cause iffen you don't,
you never learn nothin'.

Look at me.

One of my biggest mistakes

was letting that Prime Evil
and his gang take over my town.

But I want him out..

...now!

You do?

I sure do.

Got any use for this?

The dematerializer.

But it's broken.

Then we better
find your friends

and see if we can
get it workin' again.

Maybe you can help me
kick that Prime Evil

and his nasty pals
out of town.

Eddie, where are you?

We're right here, Jake.

[screams]

[thud]

Don't scare me like that.

Sheriff Stumbleweed
wants to help us.

Sure do.

But if we don't move fast

that Prime Evil's gonna turn
those ghosts out there

loose all over the world.

Tracy, we've got to get this
this thing workin' again.

Okey-dokey.

[crackling]

Ghosts of the Earth,
now is the time of our triumph!

[all] Yipee!

Soon I will give the order
and you, my great ghostly army

will march forward!

Earth will be ours!

[cheering]

The Earth will be ours.
Sounds good to me. Oh.

Ya-hoo!

Hold on there.

Who dares interrupt me?

The sheriff of Goldmine.
That's who.

And I say this town isn't big
enough for the both of us.

[laughs]

You and who else
says that, sheriff?

Me and my friends.

Tracy, hurry up
and fix the dematerializer.

Okey-dokey.

You Ghost... busters,
are big fools than I thought.

With you out of the way

Earth will be a ghost
playground forever!

[Jake] Tracy, hurry!

-Tracy, I've got an idea.
-Yeah?

Listen, the dematerializerbroke when it got a real hardwhack.

Maybe that's
how we fix it.

Give it a good, hard whack.

[clanging]

So much for that idea.

[laughs]

-[zapping]
-An energy bolt! Look out!

Eddie, catch.

It works.

Prime Evil fixed it.

[zaps]

Eddie, zap 'em.

Ooh, the dematerializer.
Look out!

Out of my way, clown.

[zapping]

Oh, yeah?

That'll teach you
some manners, fool.

[zapping]

Okay, partner,
it's you and me.

[laughs] You old saddle-wart.

You dare confront
the master of evil.

I sure do.

[whirring]

What?
That won't stop me!

Uh-oh. The old evil eyes
are lightin' up.

Let me give you
a hand, old-timer.

If I can just borrow your hat.

Why, sure.

This should put a lid
on Prime's evil eye.

No! I can't, I can't see..

They g-got the boss.

Time to head
for friendlier haunts.

I'll cover our escape.

[pulsating]

When I get out of here

I'll get you Ghost... busters!
[grunting]

Sounds as though he wants
to go back to Haunt-Quarters.

Can you help
him along, Tracy?

Okey-dokey.

[Prime Evil screaming]

Here you go.

[Prime Evil]
I'll get you for this..

[all cheering]

But, Jake, why did you
throw me the dematerializer?

Well, you were the commander
of this mission

and I knew you
could handle it.

Thanks, Jake. But we couldn't
have done it without our
friend, Stumbleweed.

Well, I do thank you.

And just remember as long
as I'm sheriff here

Goldmine's gonna be
a good ghost town.

So, come on down.
Anytime.

-Yeah, alright.
-You got it! Yes, siree!

In today's show, Eddie was in abig hurry to take charge.

[Belfry]
He sure was.

He didn't even tell Jake
where he was going.

[Skelevision]
What Eddie forgot was that

taking charge means
being responsible.

Right. There's nothing wrong
with wanting to be a leader

but it doesn't mean you
should jump into something

without thinking
about the dangers.

That sounds like advise
we could all listen to.

Including you, Belfry.

What? Me?

Listen, you overgrown
shadow box.

You, you..
