[instrumental music]

[eerie music]

Ha! The Mid East oil fields.

Source of much
of the world's power.



Now, what kind of power?

Oil, you mummified moron!

Gasoline. Fuel.

Without it, the earth
would be helpless.

No cars, no trucks!

No trains would move. Imagine!

[Prime Evil]
The roads of the earth

would be filled
with automobiles

but none of them moving.

[thundering]

[bang]

[Prime Evil] I must cut off
the supply of fuel.

Now, how you're gonna do that?

With you, you vacuous vassal!

Ah, me..

...Airhead.

Yes, you.

You shall scare off all the
workers in the oil fields.

You shall stop
the pumps from working.

You shall cut off the fuel
supply of the well!

Making it weak enough
for me to take over.

Yeah, me, me.

Scary, yeah.

No, you're not,
you pitiful pinhead.

Yeah? Not scary?

[Prime Evil]
Not yet!

But you will be.

Now!

[zap]

Yeah. Ha ha ha!

Yeah! Now, me scary.

Yes. Now, you will
frighten off everyone

from the oil fields.

Even the Ghost... busters!

[zing]

Hey, Jake. What do you say,
we see what's on the tube?

Fine by me.

Take it, Fred.

We interrupt the program
for this special bulletin

from the Middle East

where it is reported
that a giant ghostly mummy

is terrorizing the oil fields.

Oh, no.

Did he say ghostly?

Yeah, he said ghostly.

[grunts]

[Cad] Now, with a live report
from the oil fields'

here is reporter,
Jessica Wray.

Hey, it's Jessica.

Thank you, Cad. As you see,
it's a scene of great turmoil

at the world's
largest oil field.

Jake, Jake, isn't that Airhead?

Sure is, Eddie. I'd recognize
that moronic mummy anywhere.

But good grief!

Look at the size of 'em.
He's huge!

Even as I speak the workers are abandoning the oil fields in terror.

If this keeps up, the world
may soon find itself

dangerously short on fuel.

You hear that, Jake?

Yeah. Sounds like Prime Evil's

up to no good again.

Squash my shocks,
why don't you?

Flight mode, G.B.

Airhead's scarring off all the
workers in the oil fields.

[all]
Yeow!

Oh, no. You mean my gas supply
might be cut off?

Hang on!

Prrrr-ba-bam-bam.

Let's go, Ghostbusters!

Any sign of the
Middle East yet, Eddie?

[Eddie]
Not yet, Jake.

Let's face it.
We're lost.

So what else is n-new?

The way that big ape drives

we're probably over
Phila-d-delphia.

[grunts]

Hey, good eye, Tracy.

That plane.

[Jake]
It's a Mid East Airway's jet.

Can you stay
on his tail, Tracy?

Okay, okay.

I just meant for you
to follow the plane, Tracy.

[grunting]

Well, this is one way
to save on gas.

The ape's getting s-smarter.

[whoosh]

Hey, guys, I think we're
in the Middle East.

What make you so sure, Eddie?

[Eddie]
Ah, just a hunch.

[all]
Yeow!

Good hunch, Eddie.

Yeah! Me scary.

[Jake] There's Airhead.
Down there.

He's gigantic! Looks like we'vegot a big job to do.

[bang]

This is where we get off.
Cut us loose, Tracy.

[swoosh]

Where did he go?

Ah, he's so huge.
How could he hide?

I don't know, but it's quiet.
Too quiet.

Good, let's go home then.

Yeah.

[Jake]
No, wait, guys.

My specter sniffing schnozzle

senses a supernatural specter.

Huh?

I smell a ghost and he's close.

Real close.

[Eddie]
J-Jake.

What is it, Eddie?

[gibberish]

Say it, Eddie.

Ahh!
Me don't like Ghostbusters!

[Airhead] Grr!

[all]
Yeow!

Me catch 'em.

Oh, yeah? Well, don't count on
it, buster.

Get him, Jake!

Now, me get you.

[all]
Whoa!

Grr!

Grr!

Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!

Mommy, mommy, mommy!

Yummy, yummy, yummy.

-[thud]
-Airhead fall down.

Airhead wrap up Ghostbusters.

Wrap up.

Ha ha ha!

Airhead make joke.

[screeching]

Ha! Saved by the skin
of our teeth.

You mean the skin
of the banana, don't you?

Yeah.

[Jake]
Never mind what I mean.

Let's go, Ghostbusters.

[rumbling]

He's comin'.
Let him have it, Jake.

You're busted, buster.

[zap]

Oh, no. It's broken.

Just like we're gonna be

'if we don't get out of here.'

[Eddie]
Gang way!

Ahhh!

No. Eddie!

[Eddie]
Yeow!

[dramatic music]

-Thanks, Jake. You saved me.
-No problem, buddy.

I just hope we can make it
to the Ghost Buggy in time.

He's gainin' on us.

Do something, Tracy.

Okey-dokey.

Oh-oh! Airhead feel draft.

Nice work, Tracy.

But that won't stop
him long, Jake.

What do we do now?

Fix the dematerializer,
and find Jessica.

[Jake]
Maybe she'll have
more information for us.

Now..

[eerie music]

You think Prime Evil
is behind this new giant sized

Airhead, Jessica?

I think it's obvious, Eddie.

Airhead has already closed
down several major oil fields

by frightening off the workers.

And the whole world
needs oil for fuel.

You're right, Jake.

Without it, the earth
will be crippled

and ready for Prime Evil's
conquest.

We cannot let that happen.

Right you are, Eddie.

How are you coming with that
dematerializer, Tracy?

Found out what the
problem is yet?

[grunts]
A broken amplifier.

A broken amplifier!

But without the amplifier

the Dematerializer
won't have enough power.

-Right.
-How big a ghost
can we use it on?

-Something the size
of Airhead?
-No.

-The size of a man?
-No.

-The size of a mouse?
-No.

How big?

Look.

[weak zapping]

-This big.
-Great!

Airhead is a little
bigger than that.

We'll have to find another way
to handle him and fast

before the earth
runs out of fuel.

I'll go with you
when you try again.

Maybe we can think
of something.

So the Ghost... busters
have showed up, have they?

And their Dematerializer
is not working.

Hmm, this could be
just the break I waited for.

What's that,
O sultan of specters?

My chance to get two birds
with one stone.

To weaken the Earth
and capture the Ghostbusters!

[ominous music]

[zap]

This thing needs adjustment.

Anyway, the first thing
I'd better do

is give Airhead some help.

[Prime Evil]
A sandstorm should do nicely.

[thundering]

Ha ha ha!

No more workers. Yeah!

Airhead make desert deserted.

Ha ha ha!

Airhead make joke.

Okay, guys, get ready to..

A sandstorm. Prime Evil
must've created it.

Ha ha ha!

Prime Evil help Airhead.

I think.

The sand's too heavy.

[Jessica]
We're going down.

[Jake] Tracy were falling.
Do something!

Okey-dokey.

A harpoon!

What good's that gonna do?

[Tracy]
Look.

[Jessica]
It's a gusher.

[Eddie] You did it, Tracy!
We're saved.

Yeah, Tracy.
Real slick job.

We better find a place
to clean up.

[Jake]
Go to that car wash, Tracy.
We can clean up there.

Right.

[revving]

Good. We're clean again.

-Now, let's get that mummy.
-No!

Ah, there's one small
problem, Jake.

Ha ha! All our clothes
have shrunk.

We better get back
to the hotel and change.

No, wait.

That gives me an idea.

I know how we can bust
that bozo Airhead.

But first, of course

back to the hotel.

[thundering]

Ah! Scared Stiff, you
bring me good news I hope

for your sake?

Oh, but of course,
Your Mystical Majesty.

Ah, well, the mummy has
successfully frightened off

the oil workers.

I already know that,
you clanking calamity!

Did the sandstorm
take care of the Ghostbusters?

Well, you see, O mighty one..

Well, speak up,
you stupid robot.

It's like this,
O merciful master..

Yes?

In a word..

...no.

[zap]

Oh, boss, take it easy.

Airhead will get them.

He'd better or I'll have that

bandaged bungalow rolled up
for paper towels!

Well, here we are
at the oil fields

but where's Airhead?

We'll have to attract him.

-Ready, Tracy?
-[grunts] Ready.

Then let her rip.

[zap]

Oh, no. The sandstorm must'vejammed the pumps.

No problem.

[grunts]

Atta boy, Tracy!

[Jessica] You did it, Tracy.
The pumps are goin'.

You think this will attract
Airhead, Jake?

Well, I can't be sure..

[Airhead]
Hey, hey.

Who's starting the pumps?

...but I'd say
it's a pretty safe bet.

[Jake]
Into the car everybody.

Me get you now.

[Jake]
Here he comes.

Let's get out of here.

[swoosh]

Me get Ghostbusters.

Not too fast, Tracy.

We don't want to lose him.

Okey-dokey.

[screech]

[Airhead]
Yaah! Yaaee!

Not that slow, Tracy.

Sorry.

[revving]

[Jake]
It's working, it's working.

Okay. Now, Tracy.

You know where to go.

Ah-ha.

[upbeat music]

[Eddie]
Here it is. The car wash.

Alright, Tracy. Now!

[thud]

Good thing I brought
my umbrella.

Think it'll work?

It better.

Here he comes.

Airhead wet!

[Jessica]
He's shrinking.

No, no.

Airhead get small.

It worked.

That's shrinking him
down to size.

[Airhead]
Oh-oh.

Airhead have small problem.

Two inches high. Just about
right for this broken
Dematerializer.

[zapping]

Success, Jake.

Now,what?

Back to the hotel and change
before these clothes..

...rip again.

Let's get out of here
before someone sees us.

Oh, wait you guys.

The newspapers
will want photographs

of the Ghostbusters
latest triumph.

Yeow!

He he he!

No clothes.

[both]
Tracy! Tracy!

[Jake]
Come back here.

[Eddie]
Give us that camera.

[Tracy]
He he he!

[Prime Evil] Curses!

Those dratted Ghost Bunglers
have dematerialized Airhead.

So much for my plans to destroy
the world's oil supply

his defeat angers me.

I never want to hear
about oil again!

Maybe you need a vacation, my
malevolent master of meanness.

He he he!

A vacation?

Yes.

But where could I go that I
would not be reminded of oil.

How about Grease?

Ha ha ha!

[zap]

I hate bad jokes.

I just couldn't resist it.
He he he!

Grease.
He he he!

Hi, in today's story

the Ghostbusters were faced
with a big problem.

They had a big mummy to bust

and the Dematerializer
wasn't working.

At first, it looked
an impossible problem to solve

but the Ghostbusters
didn't give up.

Instead, they worked at the
problem until they came up

with a solution.

When you have
a problem to solve

try not to give up on it

because maybe with
a little more work

you'll be able to solve it.

Alright now!
See you guys soon!
