More Information

Five years after the events of the first film, the Ghostbusters are out of business after being sued by the city for property damage. Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore are regularly entertaining at childrens' parties, Egon Spengler works at a lab office building conducting various experiments, and Peter Venkman hosts a "psychic" television show. Meanwhile, Dana Barrett is a single mom working at an art museum restoring paintings and raising her infant son Oscar at a new apartment.

Ray, Egon, and Peter get involved investigating a seemingly supernatural incident in which Oscar's stroller rolled down a street by itself. Finding strange readings beneath the street where the stroller stopped moving, Egon and Peter lower Ray into a hole where a river of pink slime is discovered. The trio is arrested when Ray accidentally knocks out the power in most of the city. Meanwhile, Dana's boss, Dr. Janosz Poha, while restoring a painting of a cruel medieval warlord named Vigo the Carpathian, is possessed by Vigo's spirit within the painting. Janosz is ordered to find a child so that Vigo may become corporeal again.

The Ghostbusters, sans Winston, are found guilty of fraudulently digging on 1st Avenue. The judge goes into an angry rant, which causes the slime - collected by Ray beneath the street - to react violently. Two ghosts - former criminals sentenced to death by the judge - attack the court room. The judge clears the charges against the trio and they capture the ghosts. With their popularity regained, Peter, Ray, Egon, and Winston resume their usual business and after studying the slime find out that it grows with negative energy and gains kinetic abilities with positive energy. Peter also learns of the painting from Dana and he and the others examine it despite Janosz's objections.

The Ghostbusters eventually discover that the slime is pure concentrated evil being energized from the hostile atmosphere of New York. The Ghostbusters try to get the mayor of New York to warn the city, but the mayor does not take the warnings to heart. Thinking the Ghostbusters will tarnish the mayor's chances at re-election, the mayor's aide commits the quartet to an insane asylum.
