[rumbling]

[crash]

[music continues]

[thunder rumbling]

Huh?

So, you try
to destroy my jungle?

But you shall not succeed.

Leave this place at once.

Or face the wrath of Voodon.

[cracking]

I'm gettin'out of here.

[music continues]

That's it.
Run and tell them.

Tell them all.

[skidding and screeching]

Tell all of them
who destroy my jungle.

Tell them that
they shall all face

the wrath of Voodon.

[instrumental music]

Hey, Eddie,check out Tracy'slatest invention.

Oh, what are they?

[Jake] Ghost cuffs.For taking ghostsprisoner.

Wow, neat idea.
Gnarly!

Do they really work on ghosts?

Naturally.

Well, they work on me, anyway.

Can't get this off.

Give me the key.

Key? Uh-oh.

Oh, no.
Don't tell me you
forgot to make a key.

Sorry.

"Sorry"?
I don't need sorry.

I need a key.

Calm down, Eddie.

Maybe we can...
Wait, the Ansabone.

[ringing]

Hi, you've reached
the Ghostbusters.

-Unfortunately for you...
-[tongue clicking]

Knock it off!
Ghostbusters.

Jake Kong here.

Really?
A voodoo monster, huh?

Well, don't worry.
We'll be right there.

[instrumental music]

Got a job, guys.

A voodoo monster isscaring off the workers

on a construction site
in Africa.

[music continues]

[smack]

[Prime Evil] "It was
a dark and stormy night.

"And there was no moon.

"And then,
they heard a voice.

"Who goes there?

"They looked about,
but it was too dark
to see anything.

"What shall we do?"
They asked each other.

"But before they could decide,

"there was a flash of light

"and a crash of thunder.

"And a giant ghost appeared."

Wow, a giant ghost!

"The giant looked
down at them.

"How dare you come
into my house?

"And as he spoke,
the ground shook.

-"I'll teach you to--"
-[Haunter] I say, old boy.

Mind if I sit in?

How dare you
interrupt me

when I'm reading
a ghost story?

You will leave...now!

Perhaps, I can help you.

[hissing]

Uh, no-no.
I was just...

Just leaving.

[zap]

[laughing]

Now then, my little one.

-Where--
-[beeping]

Aha! This is
most interesting,
Brat-A-Rat.

What is?Oh, masterful mavenof misery?

This.

[dramatic music]

[indistinct screaming]

[growling]

[Brat-A-Rat] What a strange monster, master!

Yes, that is Voodon.
the voodoo monster.

[tuning in]

He possessescertain jungle powers

that might bevery useful to me.

So I must have them.

-Brat-A-Rat.
-At your service,
Your Preponderance.

Find Haunter
and Scared Stiff.

Tell them,
they're going to Africa.

I want Voodon captured.

So that I may transferhis powers to myself.

-[thunder crashing]
-Now go!

I'm going.
I'm gone.

[Engineer] As youcan see, there isn'ta worker left.

Voodon has
frightened 'em
all off.

I sure hope you guys
can do somethin'.

We're way behind
schedule now.

What are you
building here?

This.

A modern African
vacation resort.

A big steel
and glass hotel.

Swimming pool, sauna,
the works.

Sounds nice.
I like the waterfall.

Oh, yeah,
that, yeah, yeah,
it was here already.

We're gonna
tear it out and put in
a concrete tennis court.

Oh, seems a shame.It's so beautiful.

What does this Voodon
look like, anyway?

Well, that's hard
to describe.

He looks
kind of, er...
Well, er...

Kind of like...

Like that!

[all screaming]

Get out!

Good idea.

[upbeat music]

Here he comes, Jake.

Let him.

[music continues]

I told you toleave this place.

Well, forget it, buster.

You're busted.

-It didn't work, Jake.
-Voodon's not a ghost.

[grunting]

[growling]

[music continues]

Uh, what is this?

Can't break it.

Yow! [yells]

Take it easy!

Whoa! Eddie has
accidentally chained
himself to Voodon.

Uh-oh, look.

zap

Oh, great.

As if we didn't
already have
enough troubles.

There,
there is Voodon.

Get him,
my evil legion.

Oh-oh, my magic worksonly in the jungle.

-Must get back.
-[yells]

Voodon's running
off with Eddie.
Come on!

[Eddie screaming]

[Brat-A-Rat] Don'tlet him escape.

We gotta help Eddie.

Drat!
[hissing]

Those dratted Ghost-bunglers
are here also.

Then, I'll take care of them.

Ah, at last, the jungle.

[Eddie screaming]

Now, you ghosts.

See the power
of Voodon.

[swish]

[power surges]

[thudding]

Whoa, looks likeit's a bigger partythan we expected, Tracy.

But the Dematerializershould thin it down some.

[zap]

And, then again,may be it won't.

Uh-oh.

Here comes Prime Evil.

Ah.

Uh-oh,!
I better do something.

Drill mode.

[whirring]

[gulps]I don't likethe looks of this.

Me neither.

So, Ghost-bobos.

I came here
to get Voodon,

but as long
as you're here,

I'll take care of you too.

Huh?

[rumbling]

Hang on.

[swoosh]

Curses!
They're getting away.

[upbeat music]

[sighs] Thanks, G.B.You were just in time.

About time I was
appreciated around here.

The Ghostbustersare getting away,

YourObstreperousness-ness-ness!

Let them.
I'm concerned
only with Voodon.

Which reminds me...

...After him!

[music continues]

And don't come
back until you've
captured him.

Looks like Prime Evil's
given up.

We got away clean.

Yes, but we still
have a big problem.

Eddie's still down
there, somewhere.

[screams]

[Jake] And he's
still in big trouble.

[upbeat music]

[scream]

Hey!

[stuttering] Come on...

[stuttering]
Would ya
slow down?

You big monster!

"Monster"?

You called me, "monster"?

[music continues]

It is youwho are the monster.

You and all othersof your kind.

You humans.

And your machinesalways destroy

what was once beautiful.

What're you talkin' about?

This jungle, my home, here,

where I have livedfor centuries.

Yeah, you should vacuum
every once in a while.

My home, where foodis always close at hand.

Hey, thanks.
I'm starved.

This is the placeyou humans would destroy.

This paradise on Earth,

ruined, by those humans,

and their destructive,foul smelling machines.

Now, just a
cotton-pickin' minute!

Those guys were
just buildin' a hotel.

And you're destroying
their equipment.

They were destroyingmy home.

-That's no excuse--
-[Brat-A-Rat] There,
there he is.

There's Voodon.

Looks like you're
popular today.

[Voodon]Those ghosts again.

Well, I shalldeal with them.

[rumbling]

There.[chuckles]

That should...Huh?

You can't
stop us,
Voodon.

No, but I can.

[splat]

- Ah, sticky.
- I'm stuck here.

That will hold 'em
for a while.

Now, let's go
find my buddies.

No!

Though I'm gratefulfor your help

against those ghosts,

I cannot forget that
you and your friends

came here to get rid of me.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

We are still enemies, human.

Remember that.

Don't worry. [grunts]

I'm not likely to forget.

[whooshes]

Got the Dematerializerfixed, Tracy?

Almost.

[explosion]

[grumbles]

[clanking]

Here, all fixed.

Nothin' like that
delicate touch,
eh, Tracy?

-Hey, listen, wise guy--
-Hey.

I think I spotted Eddie.

Take us down, Tracy.

Okey-dokey.

[panting]

I've gotta rest, Voodon.

I'm [pants] out of breath.

Oh, yes,I always forget

that you humansmust breathe.

Being made of stone,I, of course grew up.

However, we cannot rest long.

My jungle magic tells me
we're still being pursued.

Can't your jungle magic
make you invisible
or something?

Well, normally, I could
transform myself into a tree,

and thus be concealed.

But with you attached,

it would hardly bea good disguise.

Sorry about that.

Such is fate.

In any case, Eddie,despite the fact

that you're a memberof the foul, disgusting,

destructive, evil
and cruel human race,

I've rather enjoyedyour company.

Gee, thanks a lot.

Yes, thoughI love my jungle,

it is often lonely.

I wish that humanswere not so hateful.

Because I wouldlove to havesomeone to talk with.

Come on Voodon.
We're not so bad, huh?

[Jake] Hang on, Eddie.

We'll take care
of that monster.

No, Jake, wait!

Leave him alone!

Oh, no! Eddie!

He's still chained
to that stone monster.

And though that monster
doesn't need to breathe,

Eddie does.

If he can't get loose,
he'll drown.

[laughing]

This is a bit of luck,

Eddie, your friends will
never find me down here.

We'll just stay here
until they go away.

By the way,
I really appreciate

the way you tried
to keep your friends

from attacking me, Eddie.

Eddie? Oh, no!

Eddie!

Any luck, Tracy?

[grunting] Jake.

I'm goin' in.

Wait, Tracy, look.
Here comes Eddie.

The monster's
got him!

-Let's bust him.
-No.

No? Huh?

Help, help.I don't care whathappens to me.

But you must help Eddie!

He's stopped breathing.

And I don't knowhow to help a human.

I'll handle it.
Get a blanket, Tracy.

Okey-dokey.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[inhaling]

Is he going to be all right?

Ah...

I think so.

He'll have to rest.

But I'm surprised
you came back.

We've been hired
to bust you, you know?

I know, but I didn't care.

I just wantedEddie to be all right.

I'm very attached to him.

-Well...
-[zap]

Uh, very sleepy.

-[zap]
-[grunts]

[thuds]

What?

[laughing]

-Nice shooting, Haunter.
-I say, thanks, old bud.

This stun-bow should keepthe Ghostbusters snoozing

long enough for usto capturethis Voodon chap.

No.

Take this, you ghosts.

[rumbling]

[screaming]

We've learnt how
to handle your tricks
now, Voodon.

-Your vines can't stop us.
-Yes, I say.

But we can stop you.

[zap]

Can't break free.

We've captured him!

Prime Evil will be
pleased with us.

Well, there you are,you see. Jolly good.

I like this.A job well done.

It's done,
all right.

You're busted!

[Brat-A-Rat]
Prime Evil's not
going to like this.

Ah, thank you, Eddie.

You saved me.

Well, you saved me.

It was the least
I could do.

I supposeI should escape now

before your friendswake up again.

Aren't you
forgettin' something?

Well, besides,
running around
and destroying equipment

isn't going to
solve anything.

But what else can I do?

My jungle is lonely,but it's all I have.

I can't let itbe destroyed.

Hmm, may be it
doesn't have to be.

Just leave everything
to me, Voodon.

I've got an idea.

Positively,
the most beautiful hotel

I've ever visited.

[Engineer] Well, you'reabsolutely right, Eddie.

By working with
the natural scenery

instead of destroying it,

we were able to create
this beautiful hotel.

And business
is fantastic.

Why, I'm gladit worked out.

I must say the place
is really wonderful.

All this natural scenery
is much nicer than
steel and glass.

But how did you get
these plants and trees
to grow so quickly?

Ah, well,
that wasn't hard.

Meet our hotel manager.

[all laughing]

[All] All right!

Voodon, you'rethe new manager?

That's right, friend Eddie.

And I must say,
it's a lot of fun.

And I owe it all
to you, Ghostbusters.

Especially you, Eddie.

I learnt today
that I don't always
have to fight

with humans
to save my jungle.

But by working with them,

I get what I want.

And they getwhat they want.

-You have your jungle.
-And they have their hotel.

Right.
All in all,

a most satisfactory existence.

Yes. [sighs]

A most satisfactory
existence, indeed.

[all laughing]

Hi, in today's show we met
a creature named Voodon.

who loved the natural
beauty of the jungle.

Plants and trees
that you find in parks,

forests and camp grounds

are meant to be
enjoyed by everyone.

They should be protected.

So, don't litter
those public places

or harm the plants.

After all, plants and
trees are living things.

Just like you.
And just like you,

they deserve care
and consideration.

And a right to a long and
happy and beautiful life.

Bye now, see you soon.
