Plot

When Little Kenny Fenderman claims to have joined to Ghostbusters, he is ridiculed by a group of local kids so he decides to pay the Ghostbsuters a visit and see if he can become part of the team for real. Peter humors him by telling him he is an official member of the Ghostbusters Auxiliary and gives him a special pin to make it official. Kenny asks Peter if he can have a piece of Ghostbusting equipment so Peter, unknowingly, gives him the experimental Ecto Aroma Eliminator(EAE) that Egon has been working on. Kenny returns to the park to show the kids who teased him that he is indeed a Ghostbuster, however, they still don't believe him and suggest that he spend the night alone in an old but well-known haunted house, General Hollowell's house, to prove he is a Ghostbuster. After realizing that there is a ghost there, he activates the EAE thinking it will dispose of General Holloway's ghost but instead starts to overload the EAE creating the potential for a devastating explosion. After realizing that Kenny has turned on the EAE, the Ghostbusters immediately head for the house only to find Kenny hanging from the Chandelier. The Ghostbusters head up the stairs to confront General Hollowell's ghost and find his PKE energy level is too high to be contained by a ghost trap. Peter and the boys decide that if the EAE explodes just as the ghost is trapped, it should be enough force to discorporate the ghost and allow the trap to contain it.
