Plot

The Ghostmaster is back and casts a spell on the Ghostbusters that causes all electronic equipment near them to shut off, including their proton packs and traps. The Ghostbusters win by using a trap hidden in a tree and making sure that the trap is far enough. Things are especially easy when they learn that even though he is a Class 11, the Ghostmaster was weakening. When the power goes out again, everyone thinks that Venkman neglected to put the Ghostmaster into the Containment Unit. As it turns out, Peter Venkman did remember to put the Ghostmaster in the grid, but forgot to pay the electric bill.
