[laughing]

[Prime Evil] Watch this,
Scared Stiff.

[snarls]

[growling]

Oh, golly!



That's fearsome,
your mightiness.

Oh, he's fearsome all right

but not fearsome enough.

[groaning]

I need more power.

M-more power?

But, magnificent master,
you already are

the most powerful wizard
that ever existed.

One of the most powerful,
you rattle brain.

Aah!

Long ago there was
another wizard

who might have been
my equal in power.

[snarls]

Merlin!

Merlin, the magician?

But, master, he lived
back in King Arthur's time.

Yes, but still I want
his powers added to mine.

They would make me
the greatest wizard
of all time.

So pull yourself together,
Scared Stiff.

I've got a job for you.

I'm sending you and Haunter
back to King Arthur's time.

I want you to capture Merlin...

...and bring him to me.

[Haunter
and Scared Stiff screaming]

[Eddie]
Hey, full moon tonight, Jake.

That's what you need to call
old wizard, Fuddy, isn't it?

Why don't you call him?

We haven't talked
to Fuddy in a long time.

Better not, Eddie. He said
I should only call him
if it were an emergency.

Oh. You know, Jake,
I-I was just wondering

we always call Fuddy
when we have an emergency.

Suppose Fuddy had an emergency,
would he be able to call us?

I wouldn't worry
about that, Eddie.

I mean, what kinda troublecould Fuddy possibly get into?

[Merlin]
Well, Fuddy, I'm leaving for
the wizard's convention now.

Do try to stay out of trouble
while I'm gone.

I will, Merlin. I will. Yes.

[Merlin] And don't touch
that magic staff.

You don't know
how to control it yet.
Leave it alone.

Oh, I, oh, I will. I will.
I will. I will-will-will.

Mind you do.

I forgot my bag.

And don't touch that staff.

Oh, I won't. I won't.
I won't, I won't, I won't.

I say egad!

Rough journey, ha ha ha.
I say what, old boy.

You're not kidding.

Going back in time
to King Arthur's age

is like a long trip.

[chuckling]
Well, there you are, you see.

Appears we made it.

Blooming castle's
right down there.

And that's where
we'll find Merlin.

Let's go get him.

Right you are, chum.

[sighing] I know Merlin told me
not to touch the magic staff

but how am I ever going to
learn

how to use it right
if I don't practice.

Alakazam!

[grunting]

Oh! Oops!

[blows]

I didn't know it was loaded.

[monster growling]

You sure that's Merlin?
He's awful short.

Must be, old boy.

Who else would be
making monsters?

[growling]

G-g-good mon-monster.

T-t-take-take it easy.

Let's get him.

[stammering] Now, sit down.
Lie down, roll over.

[growling]

-Grab him.
-Right you are.

[Fuddy screaming]

[grunting]

What's going on here?

We did it. We captured Merlin,the magician.

[chuckling]
Right you are, old chap.

Prime Evil should be
dashed pleased with us.

[grunting]

[sniffs]

[growling]

I-I still think you ought
to call Fuddy, Jake.

Have him over
for dinner or something.

A-after all he's done
a lot for us.

[grunting] Yeah.

You're right, Eddie.

We should do something nice
for Fuddy.

There's a full moon.
I'll give him a call.

Wizard Fuddy, hear my call.

Uh, why don't you come
for dinner, y'all?

Oh!

Well, at least it rhymed.

[Fuddy]
Uh, Jake, nice of you to ask.

But I'm afraid I seem to have a previous invitation.

[communicating telepathically]
B-bad ghosts are
haulin' me off

to one of the nastiest places

I have ever seen.

They think I'm Merlin, Jake.

Help!

Sounds like Prime Evil's
had Fuddy captured.

[grunting] Yeah.

I think you're right, Eddie.

And you know what that means.
Into uniform.

[all] Let's go, Ghostbusters!

Yeowh!

♪ Let's go

♪ Let's go, let's go

Whoa-ha-ha-ho!

Ye-e-ow!

Why do you think those ghosts
thought Fuddy was Merlin, Jake?

I don't know, Eddie,
but I do know one thing.

As soon as Prime Evil finds out
Fuddy's not Merlin

Fuddy's gonna be
in even more trouble.

You blathering
brainless bumblers!

This worthless wizard
isn't Merlin.

This is just
some minor apprentice.

You botched it again!

[snarling]

Goodness gracious me!

Well, you're not
a very nice person, are you?

No, you idiot. I'm evil.

Prime Evil.

And you're my prisoner.

[gasping] Oh, my!

Oh, goodness!

[Fuddy screaming]

Oh, my!

Goodness gracious me.

I do believe this is
the most scariest dungeon
I've ever seen.

[gasping] I-it's slimy too.

Oh, well, at least
there aren't any rats.

There. Hiya, chum.

[stammering] Ghost rat, eh?

Well, I-I'll take care of you.

Alakazam!

Hey, thanks, chum.
This is great.

Ha! I'll never get
the hang of this thing.

You did me a favor.
I'm gonna do you one.
You like jokes?

What do you call
a mouse on a diet?

Hungry.

[laughing]

Diet-hungry. Don't you get it?

[laughing] That's funny stuff.

Good grief! I hope
the Ghostbusters find me soon

before this rat's mad jokes
drive me crazy.

Prime Evil's chamber is
right through that door, Tracy.

Any sign of Fuddy?

[grunting] No.

[Prime Evil] Brat-A-Rat.

Hold it.

Yeah, right here,
your awfulness.

Brat-A-Rat, as long as
we have that idiot magician

a prisoner in the dungeon,
perhaps we can make a trade.

Go and tell Merlin the magicianthat I will keep his apprentice

a prisoner forever
unless he turns over

all his magic powers to me.

[chuckles] Right away,
your despicableness.

-Jake, did you hear that?
-I sure did, Eddie.

We can't let Merlin
give up his powers.

We better move fast.

But how are we ever gonna
find the dungeon, Jake?

Here comes our guide, Eddie.
Shh!

Nab him, Tracy.

Okey-dokey.

[grunting] Oops!

We don't need that
ghost robot's body, Tracy.

We need his head.

My body...

Nice work, Tracy.

Scared Stiff will be able
to lead us
right to the dungeon.

[bam]

I just hope we can rescue Fuddy
before Merlin has to give

all his powers to Prime Evil.

[chuckles] Here I am
in the days of King Arthur.

And Merlin should be there
in that castle.

[growling]

Hey, fuzz ball, where's Merlin?

I got a message for him.

[grunting]

Hey, let me go, you dope.
You can't eat me.

I am a ghost.

[Merlin] Fuddy!

I'm back. I...

Oh, boy!

[growling]

Oh, dash it all!

[grunting]

I told Fuddy not to play
with that magic staff.

Hey!

Just look at this mess.
It's hideous.

Hey, what about me?

You're pretty hideous too, yes.

Delivering Prime Evil's messagemay take longer than I thought.

[thunder rumbling]

Hi, there. Excuse me, old chap.

but I found Scared Stiff
wandering around Haunt Quarters

bumping into things
and brought him to you.

I thought he might be sick.
Looks different somehow.

Yes, he looks
more intelligent than usual.

He's lost his head, you fool.

Why, dash it all! So he has.

How did that happen?

[creaking]

A monkey? An ape?

The ghost yeow busters.

They must be here trying to
rescue that foolish magician.

Haunter, get Fangster
and Scarechrome.

Tell them we're going to bust

the ghost...busters!

[snarls]

OK, Scared Stiff,
now where's Fuddy?

Yeah, speak up unless
you want to be rusted solid.

No! Not water. I'll tell ya.

He's in there.

[Jake] Ha! End of the road.

-Take out that door, Tracy.
-No problem.

And hurry, no telling
what horrible monsters

poor ol' Fuddy's
been facing in there.

[grunting]

...oh, because the corn
has ears
and the potato has eyes.

[laughing]

Oh, please, no more,
no more bad jokes.

Try this for a punch line, rat.

Hey, wait, wait,
I've got a million of 'em.

Where was the giant ghost rat
when the lights went off?

In the dark. Get it?

[laughing]

[zap]

Fuddy, are you all right?

Uh, oh, you came just in time.

Those jokes were about to turnmy brain to mush.

Well, there's no time
to rest, Fuddy. We have to
get out of here.

[Prime Evil]
Too late, ghost bunglers!

[zap]

I'm afraid all of you
are going to be staying here...

...permanently.

[Prime Evil laughs]

Looks like bustin' time, boys.

Hit it!

Get them.

Egad!

You're busted, Haunter.

Oh, dash it all!

[zap]

[growling]

[chattering]

[babbling]

[Fangster howling]

[zap]

Ha! Two down.

thud

[zap]

And that makes three.
And now for...

Whoa!

Fool, your pitiful toy
is no threat to me.

[Fuddy] No, but I am.

Alakazam!

zap

[thunder rumbling]

[Prime Evil] Good try, wizard,but not good enough.

[thunder rumbling]

Try one of mine.

[snarls]

Really, Prime Evil?

Hardly a polite way
to welcome guests.

What? Merlin the magician?

Yes.

Your servant here
said you wanted me

to give you a lesson in magic.

Well, I'd be glad to oblige.

Hurray! Ha ha.

Uh, pardon me, Fuddy.

Uh, let me just show you
how to use this staff.

Alakazam!

[crash]

Next time, Merlin!

Next time!

Oh, I'm sorryI disobeyed you and played
with the magic staff.

Honest I won't do it again.

Really, Merlin, I think
he's learned his lesson.

Well, maybe so.

As a matter of fact,
I think I'll let him

use the magic staff again.

Oh, really. When?

As soon as we get home, Fuddy.

You'll need it.

To clean up the mess
you made. Hmpf!

Let's go.

[zap]

[laughs] Looks like this case
is all cleaned up, guys.

[all laughing]

Let's go home.

Hi. In today's show,
Fuddy did something

he wasn't suppose to do
and he got into trouble.

He knew he wasn't suppose
to touch the magic staff

but he did it anyway.

And as a result
he caused a lot of problems.

When your parents make rules

they aren't making them
just to spoil your fun.

Your parents make rules
in order to keep you
safe and healthy.

And you know why they do that?

Because they love you.
See you again soon.
