Summary: Out in
an old western town of Spittoon the townspeople are being harassed by a ghost
named Bart the Black. The townspeople
are about the abandon the town but the Mayor offers a reward to someone to take
care of the ghosts. Two men step forward and they have a plan to go off to
New York City to recruit the Ghostbusters. When they arrive in the city they screw up the job the Ghostbusters are currently on. The two are able to win the Ghostbusters' support by dropping a bag
of gold in their laps.

| Black Bart and friends! |
When
the Ghostbusters get to town they battle Black Bart to a standstill. Egon discovers what Black Bart is after has nothing to do with gold but a power
source for ghosts. The power source doesn’t work
around humans. Bart is recruiting an
army of ghosts to scare all the locals off. So in order to stop the power source from becoming active the Ghostbusters train the whole town to resist ghosts.

| Improvising. |
Bart
shows back up and a final battle takes place between the two sides that
results in Bart going into a ghost trap.
The town is grateful but since Egon at one point said “We aren’t here
for your gold." They were paid in hats.
My Take: This was
a decent episode, I only wished at one point they had mentioned their previous Western adventure.
Now for
my stray observations:
·
So is town stuck in the 19th century of
something?
·
Those people on the bus were very convenient.
·
One moment the locals are looking to leave
town the next they don’t want outsiders!
Figure it out people.
·
Oh well Peter, at least you got that bag of gold
in the beginning. I think gold prices
back then were $900 an ounce. The hats
are also nice.
A good episode but whenever Black
Bart’s name was mentioned all I could think of was the Simpsons character.
