    The Lunar Avenger and the Crimson Crimebuster, two super heroes from the 1930s Crime Patrol team, have suddenly come out of retirement and appeared on the Ghostbusters’ doorstep.  With the Crimebuster in the hospital, The Avenger tells them about the return of their old foe, Fu Fang, who has teamed up with Caldoni’s ghost mob.  They’ve been discreetly taking over the city under the Ghostbusters’ noses.  The Ghostbusters decide to help and take the turf war to Caldoni under the guise of a rival mob.  But even when the mob is taken care of, they still have to deal with Fu Fang!

     UNKNOWN: “I feel like I’m arriving at a cattle call for the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre!”
     The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre was when a garage full of gangster George “Bugs” Moran’s men were found slain in 1929 Chicago.  Witnesses reported two police men escorting two unidentified men out of the garage.  Over time, it has been determined that the four men were in fact working for Moran’s rival Al “Scarface” Capone.  However, without proof or a confession, Capone was never linked to it.
