Having everything, in some respects, is not what it
s--eems, especially to a certain Edward Harris. He's a lonely, well-to-do
businessman who lives in New York, but is in Los Angeles on business
with his partner, Stuckey. When he hurriedly leaves an L.A. party
(actually thrown in his honor by Shuckey), he asks a prostitute on
Hollywood Blvd. for directions to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Her name
is Vivian and as odd as it strikes both Edward & Vivian, there is a
strange, electric challenging attraction between the two. Edward "buys"
Vivian's friendship for the week, as he is in need of a date for certain
business functions. Vivian is beautiful, and with Edward's credit cards,
she almost passes herself off as a high society lady. But a slip of the
tongue, and vivian's mistakenly passing along secret information
relating to one of Edward's deals, causes a blow-up in a magical
relationship. It jolts Edxcard and Vivian into reality to remind them who
they really are, and what roles they must play out. But in the end, as
in all fairy tales, true love wins and Edward and Vivian decide to give
love a try as a hea~.

STORYLINE: After their fiasco in New York City last time, the
Ghostbusters Inc. have been out of business. But Spengler, Venkman,
Stantz, and Winston are reunited to help rid the city of a terrible
green slime that has taken root under New York City. It all starts with
a baby buggy running away from Lane, the mother of the baby inside -
which leads our heroes chasing down the source of the power that caused
the buggy to run away. Apparently, a painting in the Museum of Art
(where Lane works), holds the soul of a nasty man that wants to inhabit
Lane's baby's body, and Lane's co-worker Jason is in cahoots with the
painting! Our heroes, who have been experimenting with the green slime
they have found, learn that it gets mean and menacing when people are
mean, and becomes a controllable substance when people are nice. So,
they get inside the Statue of Liberty~ and travel the streets of New
York playing friendly music ("Everything Is Beautiful"), which has a
positive effect on the slime. Lane is reunited with her b~30y, Jason and
the painting are destroyed, and life is returned to normal (?) in New
York City~
