Winston is complaining about the wallpaper peeling, but Egon says that replacing it would be too expensive. The Ghostbusters leave, then Slimer imagines replacing the wallpaper himself and being rewarded with pizza. Meanwhile, Dweeb and Elizabeth are spying on Slimer and Dweeb thinks that letting Slimer run free is an oversight.
Dweeb phones the firehouse, disguising his voice, then when the Ghostbusters drive off, he flies up to the window with a propeller. Slimer, meanwhile, has found some wallpaper but is having trouble spreading it out and keeps wrapping himself. He nails it to the floor, but some of the nails fly out, cutting the cord to Dweeb's propeller, so he falls down and uses a parachute. Then, more nails fly out, popping the parachute.
Slimer, by now, is trying to glue the wallpaper to the wall, but is again having trouble. Elizabeth pedals a little bicycle along a rope attached to the windows, with Dweeb on a string attached to the bicycle. He uses a machine that sends out robot arms to grab Slimer, who has accidentally glued himself to the wallpaper.
He crawls down the wallpaper, pulling Dweeb down with him, then lets go, launching him, Dweeb, and Elizabeth into the air. Dweeb and Elizabeth land on a sign, but Slimer lands in the kitchen and the wallpaper lands on the wall in the right place. Slimer thus continues his work by throwing the wallpaper onto the wall.
Back at home, Dweeb roasts a turkey, stuffs a tank of helium into it, and raises it to the firehouse window. Slimer eats it, which makes him blow up like a balloon, then Dweeb lassos him but is pulled up. He burps out the helium and they all land in the kitchen, but unfortunately, the crash sends all the wallpaper falling off.
Elizabeth bites Dweeb on the ankle, sending him hopping backwards and out the window. He gets stuck to the back of his van due to being covered in sticky wallpaper, and towed away due to parking in a "no parking" zone. The Ghostbusters return, but they like the kitchen's lack of wallpaper, and they give him food to reward him.
