[Prime Evil] The G-Ghostbusters
are now under my control.
At least they will be
very soon.
Sir Trance-A-Lot,
I'm sending you back
to September 10, 1842.
To the town of
Tombstone, Arizona.
Tombstone?
It does have a nice
ring to it, doesn't it?
You are to capture
Marshal Clint
Jake's great grandfather.
[sniggers]
Bring him to Hauntquarters.
Sir Trance-A-Lot
will not fail you.
With Jake and
his family in my power...
...Ha ha ha, I'll wreckthe...Ghostbusters and then...
[laughing diabolically]
[peppy music]
[Jessica]
And your great granddad
had to stop gunfights
and catch cattle rustlers?
That's right.
Back in the o-old west.
I have a photograph
of him taken in 1844.
Let's see.
Was it under G for great?
Ha! I was expecting that.
[Jake] This photograph
is over a 100 years old.
[Jessica] Uh, what's this
writing across the bottom?
[Jake] There shouldn't be
any writing there.
"To my great grandson Jake.
Thanks. Marshal Clint."
This writing
wasn't there before.
I wonder if this is
Eddie's idea of a joke.
[wolf howling]
[howling continues]
[indistinct chatter]
So, here we are
in Tombstone, Frightmare.
Back in the days of
the cowboys and Indians.
Let's go find the marshal.
[dramatic music]
Grr.
[screaming]
[barking]
What in tarnation is
all the racket out here?
[music continues]
[eerily] Aah!
Jumping jackrabbit!
Marshal! Marshal!
Oh, how nice. He's gone
to get the marshal for us.
[indistinct chatter]
[cheerful music]
Here you are, Marshal.
Strawberry soda.
Hey, thanks, Al.
Where is the marshal?
[music stops]
Marshal!
Marshal, you gotta come quick.
Calm down, Wally.
What's the trouble?
There's a stranger
just come into town.
He didn't
have no skin, Marshal.
[glass shatters]
And he was carrying
what looked like a big rifle.
Bigger than a buffalo gun.
A rifle, huh?
Should've said that first.
I don't like folks
carrying guns.
Why don't you show me
where you saw this stranger?
Oh, no, Marshal. You won't
catch me goin' out there.
All right, Wally.
I'll find him myself.
Just make sure
he don't find you first.
That's right, Marshal.
Come this way.
[horse whinnies]
Evenin', stranger.
I'm Marshal Clint.
You're welcome here,
but the law in Tombstone
says no guns.
[dramatic music]
I'm gonna have to ask you
to come out here
where I can see ya.
You want to see me, Marshal?
I thought you'd never ask.
What!
What kind of...thing are you?
Ooh, the ghost kind.
Say goodnight, Marshal.
[pulsating]
When you wake up,
you'll have the pleasure
of meeting Prime Evil himself.
[dramatic music]
Wake up, Marshal.
Welcome to Hauntquarters,
Marshal.
Who are you?
I'm known as Prime Evil.
[cackles]
I have decided to
invite you to work for me.
I have a job.
Yes, I know.
Marshal of Tombstone.
But I'm giving you a new one.
[chuckles]
Werewolf of Tombstone.
What?
[pulsating]
Werewolf, from this day forth
you will prowl the streets
of Tombstone on four legs.
[laughing]
Boy, you're plumb loco.
Am I, Marshal?
Look at your hands.
I'll be...
What's happening to me?
[Jessica]
Jake has been telling me
about his great granddad
Marshal Clint.
Marshal of Tombstone.
Yeah. He was quite a guy.
You didn't happen
to write something
on a photograph
of him, did you, Eddie?
Write somethin'? No. Why?
It looks like
some wise guy was...
Oh, no! He's changing!
He's turning into a werewolf.
[eerie music]
[door opens]
[Jake] Dad! Where are ya?
[howling]
Dad!
Dad, there's something
I have to show you.
-Dad?
-What?
What're you doing out here?
I don't know, son.
I had the strangest feeling.
I had to come out
and look at the moon.
-Like a...
-Like a werewolf?
Why, yes. But how did you know?
I think you better come inside.
Prime Evil is doing
something to our family.
Something bad.
See?
Here, Great Granddad Clint
is changing into a werewolf!
And so is Grandfather Noah.
I'm going back to Tombstone
to help Great Granddad Clint.
How much time do we have?
I don't know.
Couple of hours maybe.
Then I'd better get moving.
The future of the whole familydepends on you, Son.
I won't let us down, Dad.
[scratching]
Come on, gang. Go home.
Good.
Ghostpack, Dematerializer,
canteen, rope...
What else will I
need in Tombstone?
[Jessica] How about us?
What?
Look. We know
what's going on, Jake.
We phoned your dad,
and he told us the whole story.
Then you know why
you can't come with me.
Sure. You're afraid you'll
turn into a werewolf on us.
Jake, we're your friends.
We wanna help.
[grunts]
Tracy has come with something.
New gizmo.
A new gizmo?
Come on, Tracy, you can't
stop a werewolf with that.
It's what you might call
an anti-gravity device.
Hey, Trace, show how it works.
OK. Ready?
If you start to
turn into a werewolf
all I have to do
is push this button and...
Hey!
[laughing]
OK, OK, you made your point.
Now let me down.
Comin' down.
[Jake] Whoa!
Look. I'm only trying
to protect you.
-Hey, we know, pal.
-We're friends.
And when a friend,
and his dad are in trouble
you have to help.
OK, friends. And thanks.
[howling]
Very funny, Eddie. Come on.
[all] Let's go, Ghostbusters!

[ding]
[snoring]
Whoa! Where am I?
Time to go, G.B.
[yawning]
And I was having
such a beautiful dream.
I was working for an old lady
who only drove me
on Sundays and...
G.B., we'd really like to
hear about your dreams,
but we do have a bit
of an emergency here.
Tah-rrr.
When isn't it an emergency?
[whoosh]
Tombstone below.
Now let's go back in time
and help Great Granddad Clint
fight off Prime Evil.
Hit it.
[ticking]
[whoosh, zap]
[swishing]
[suspenseful music]
[Eddie] There's nobody here.
It's a ghost town.
Yeah. Prime Evil's
favorite kinda place.
What's that?
[rattling]
[Jessica] Someone's in there.
Let's go.
[suspense music continues]
[creeks]
[thud]
Stick close together, guys.
[intense music]
[Jake] It's Tracy.
Take it easy, old timer.
We're not gonna hurt you.
What? You're not ghosts?
Let him go, Tracy.
He won't run away.
OK.
What's got you so scared?
[giggling]
The evil dog.
He comes out at night.
He's talking about a werewolf.
F-frightened
all the folks away.
We're looking
for Marshal Clint.
Oh, he disappeared the night
of the full moon two years ago.
Went out looking for
a stranger on a horse.
Face is all bone and teeth.
Sounds like Sir Trance-A-Lot.
Tracy, check your computer
and tell me the date
of the full moon two years ago.
Just a minute.
-There.
-September 10th.
Then that's the night
we're looking for. Let's go.
[dramatic music]
[intense music]
Let's get to
the Ghost Buggy and...
[werewolf growling] Uh-oh!
The werewolf!
Oh, what're we gonna do?
I have an idea. Get behind me.
[growling continues]
Marshal Clint. I know
you're Marshal Clint
of Tombstone.
We've come to help you.
We're going back to the night
Sir Trance-A-Lot kidnapped you.
[growls]
You stay here, and don't worry.
You're not going to be
a werewolf much longer.
Oh, can't it w-wait
until morning?
[werewolf growling]
Oh, my! What's that?
That's a monster
with big teeth.
And if you don't get moving,
they're gonna be clamped
onto your tailpipe
in about ten seconds.
W-well, all you
had to do was-s ask.
[sputtering]
Here we go.
[dramatic music]
That's right, Marshal.
Come this way.
[Jake] Psst. Marshal Clint.
Who's that? Oh, evenin', boys.
Ma'am.
[mumbling]
[Jake]
Oh, this is our friend Tracy.
And this is Eddie, Jessica
and I'm Jake Kong.
Jake's your great grandson.
And we've come here
from the future
to warn you about that
stranger you're looking for.
He's not what
you think he is, sir.
He's a ghost and he's gonna
turn you into a werewolf
if he gets you.
Boys, I think you've been
out in the hot sun too long.
Wait for me
at the marshal's office.
I won't be long.
Marshal Clint, we can't
let you go out there.
You'll put our
whole family in danger.
What's keeping the marshal?
Evenin', stranger.
What's the matter,
Sir Trance-A-Lot?
Cat got your tongue?
What!
Surprise!
So, it's you.
Well, I guess one man's
as good as another.
Especially if he's a,
a Ghostbuster.
[whirring]
My Trance Lance!
Your troubles have just begun.
[swishing]
What!
That's our new ghost rope.
Works pretty well, huh?
Let me go.
Wanna go? OK.
[swishing]
Well, I'll be...
I guess you young folks
really did save me.
Sorry we had to lock you up.
But ghostbusting is
a pretty tricky business.
Jake, I want you
to have this photograph...
...as a reminder.
Terrific.
"To my Great Grandson Jake.
Thanks. Marshal Clint."
Now we know where
the writing came from.
I'm sorry you can't stay.
I'd like to hear more
about life in the future.
Especially that...TV thing.
Sounds real interesting.
Maybe we can
come back and visit.
Anytime, Eddie.
[thunder rumbling]
What's this?
"Like father, like son.
As usual we won. Signed, Jake."
[screaming]
Trance-A-Lot, you messed up
my best plan
of this whole century.
[zapping]
[muffled groans]
"The Return
of the Ghost Riders."
-Boy! That was great!
-Great.
Jake, next time
we go to a movie,
I'd like to see
something different.
Uh, maybe a musical.
Sure. There's a good one
coming to the miniplex.
The Dancing Vampires.
"May I have this dance? Woo."
[laughing]
Jake Kong, you're such a tease.
Yeah, but if it weren't
for my friends,
I'd be a werewolf.
[all laughing]
[howling]
[Skelevision]
So remember when Jake thought
he had to save Marshal Clint
all by himself?
He didn't wanna put the other
Ghostbusters in danger.
We're friends.
And when a friend,
and his dad are in trouble
you have to help.
[static]
Friends are people
you can count on
when you need them.
And they're people
who can count on you too.
