Plot

The story revolves around the adventures of Ghost Boss and his assistants Pakela and Thakela, who look for people who have sinned and teach them a lesson. Together, they live high in the sky, in the ghost world, and keep an eye on the planet to ensure that the levels of sin are always under control. The Meter Of Sins tells them if any human has committed a sin and by pressing its button, they can see what the person has done. Along with the main assistants, Ghost Boss has many more assistants who feature occasionally in the show.

When Pakela and Thakela are sent to make things right, they make every situation worse. That's when Ghost Boss intervenes and corrects the situation.
