When a workman accidentally damages a strange device in the workshop of Gustave Eiffle, at the top of the Eiffle Tower in Paris, France, he unwittingly frees a horde of ghosts that had been imprisoned within the Tower itself for nearly a century. With the Tower officially haunted, the French government turns to the Ghostbusters for help. The Ghostbusters agree to help, but when they arrive at The Tower, they find hundreds of thousands of ghosts haunting every level of the massive structure. After fighting through hordes of ghosts they get to the workshop, and Egon discovers that Gustave Eiffle designed the Tower to be a primitive but effective ghost containment unit. When the control box was damaged, the Tower started leaking ghosts. Worse, unless the leak is plugged it will eventually explode, releasing millions of ghosts from its structure. Using their own proton packs to power the control box, in order to temporarily imprison the ghosts, The Ghostbusters travel to The Louvre Museum and Notre Dame cathedral in order to find Eiffle's secret papers that tell how to repair the device, fighting off the most aggressive of the ghosts that try to stop them from reaching those notes. The Ghostbusters succeed in repairing the device, only to fail in stopping the ghosts from destroying it. Unable to repair the control box before the Tower explodes, the Ghostbusters resort to a desperate measure, using the Tower's broadcasting equipment to transport the ghosts from France to America, via satellite, where they are pulled into the Ghostbusters Ecto-Containment Unit thanks to Ray's new satellite dish. However, once the guys get back to the states, they find out all the money they got from the French has gone to the cable company to pay off the customers who watched 'five hours of cursing French ghosts' on their satellite television sets.
