The Ghostbusters, with Slimer accompanying them, are working at a haunted factory. The ghost makes chocolates burst out of the chimney, which Slimer eats. They enter the factory to find three ghosts making a mess with chocolate. They chase them onto a conveyor belt and trap them. On live TV, the factory owner thanks the Ghostbusters and awards them a year's supply of chocolate.
The Ghostbusters arrive home and give the chocolate to Janine as a gift, but all of the boxes are empty except one, in which Slimer is napping. Ray scolds Slimer for being "naughty", while Peter threatens to blast him. Then, Ray empties the trap into the containment unit, and the Ghostbusters and Slimer go off to bed.
Slimer wakes up after a feather from his pillow makes him sneeze and raids the fridge. Winston wakes up and follows him into the basement, but doesn't see Slimer, however, Slimer then slides down the wall and accidentally pushes the lever for the containment unit. He tries to flip the lever back, but he's not strong enough, and the three ghosts from the factory escape and decide to put the Ghostbusters out of business.
One of them starts scaring a hospital patient, while the other two enter disguised as humans and take him away. The Ghostbusters arrive at the hospital to find the human-disguised ghosts, in a van and claiming to be a service called "Ghosts R Us".
The next day, Janine gets hung up on after telling the woman on the other end of the phone that the organisation is not Ghosts R Us. They have been getting many calls, irritating the Ghostbusters, but then they get summoned to a hotel. However, the "Ghosts R Us" ghosts beat them to it and both teams drive off.
Janine then contacts the Ghostbusters letting them know that three ghosts have escaped, causing them to realise that the "Ghosts R Us" staff are the three ghosts they caught earlier, and that Slimer must have been the one who let them out. They get called to a toy factory, so they head there, followed by the three ghosts, who awaken a sleeping ghost. However, it turns on them and possesses a bunch of toys.
The Ghostbusters arrive to find the evil ghost, who is very powerful, and chase it down the street, with Ray and Egon in a helicopter called Ecto-2. Ray and Egon trap the three troublemaking ghosts and then they all go after the powerful one. Slimer, feeling like he needs to make up for accidentally freeing the other ghosts, charges towards the ghost, while Egon fires up a weapon to attack it with. The ghost slips on some ectoplasm and falls in the ocean, separating itself from the toys, then the machine goes off, blowing up the ghost. Peter begrudgingly thanks Slimer for helping save the day.
