Plot[]

One night, Big Evil barges into Hauntquarters and zaps Prime Evil with the Arcane Curse, as punishment for his repeated failures when facing the Ghostbusters. The curse will cause Prime Evil to lose his powers and fade away to nothing. Brat-A-Rat is able to find a cure, but unfortunately for Prime Evil, the only way to break the spell is to perform a genuinely heartfelt good deed. Prime Evil is disgusted, but he has no choice in the matter.

Prime Evil's failed attempts at doing a good deed do not go unnoticed, and the Ghostbusters quickly hunt him down. Forced to work together in order to escape the ghosts Big Evil sent after Prime Evil, the unlikely group heads back to Ghost Command. There, Prime Evil is laughed at and made fun of by Ansabone and Shock Clock when they discover that he is losing his powers, but Belfry stands up for him. Big Evil attacks Ghost Command, and Prime Evil refuses to help until he attacks Belfry. Angry that Big Evil is attacking someone who helped him, Prime Evil uses the Bubble Blaster on Big Evil, trapping him and saving Belfry - and since this is a genuinely good deed, the curse is broken and Prime Evil's powers return.

Moral[]

Skelevision: "Hi folks, today we saw how nobody thought anyone as wicked as Prime Evil could ever do a good deed. But you know, very few people are all bad, and chances are if you show them a little kindness, like Belfry did, you'll find some good in most everyone. But one thing's for sure, if you treat somebody wrong, that's the way you'll be treated in return. Another way of saying this is: 'do unto others the way you would have them do unto you' and that really makes sense, doesnt it? Huh Huh."
