During a confrontation with Japanese and American gangster spirits, Peter Venkman's soul is dislodged, and a ghost named Fred takes over his body. At their base, the Ghostbusters grapple with Venkman's lifeless form, fearing his soul is lost in a desolate void. Fred reports to ghostly mob bosses, including Al Capone, who decide to eliminate the Ghostbusters. As the team theorizes Venkman's soul is in Purgatory, they're ambushed by malevolent spirits, leading to a tragic confrontation in the streets.
