Three parapsychology professors -- earnest, forthright, and curious Dr. Raymond Stantz (Akyroyd), sarcastic schemer Dr. Peter Venkman (Creator/BillMurray), and detached academic Dr. Egon Spengler (Ramis) -- have finally succeeded in discovering proof that ghosts exist! Unfortunately, they also discover that they have been fired from their positions at Columbia University in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity. Facing dire prospects in finding new collegiate employment, Venkman has a brainstorm: go professional as paranormal investigators and exterminators. In their last investigation, they devised a technological method of actually capturing and containing ghosts. They set up Ghostbusters, a company providing scientific exorcisms. At first business is slow, with cellist Dana Barrett (Creator/SigourneyWeaver) -- who becomes Peter's LoveInterest -- as their sole client. As they begin researching her case, the number of ghosts in New York City increases exponentially.

While he's focused on the franchise rights and business development, Peter ends up having to eat his own words once it becomes clear that their science and technology is the world's first, last, and only life of defense against Gozer's apocalypse.
