About

Summary from a distributor, Agent With Style: "Sam Beckett leaps into Peter Venkman's conman father, who was coming to the Ghostbusters for help. Sam finds himself in possession of artifacts that might have belonged to John Dee, court magician of Queen Elizabeth I, artifacts that a dangerous would-be sorceror would love to obtain. The artifacts reveal Sam's true identity to the Ghostbusters, and Al is unhappy to discover that Slimer can see him. Can the Ghostbusters and Sam prevent the enemy and his demon ally from obtaining the dangerous artifacts so that Sam can save the Ghostbusters' future?"

Reactions and Reviews

A delightful cross-over between RGB and Quantum Leap. Sam arrives at the Firehouse in Charlie Venkman's plaid suit (and doesn't Al find it funny): is he there to reconcile Peter and his father, or to just get an Elizabethean wizard's artifacts away from the wrong hands.

Verdict: recommended. [1]
