As the cloud of gas settles on a nearby cemetery, grave robbers Ed (James Karen) and Joey (Thom Mathews) are inside a crypt breaking open vaults to loot valuables from corpses. They see the dead begin to rise from their graves, chasing the two of them and Joey’s girlfriend Brenda (Suzanne Snyder) away from the cemetery.
Young Jesse visits Billy, who is seriously ill from inhaling the Trioxin gas he and Johnny released. Billy tells Jesse to keep his mouth shut about the barrel, but Jesse, wearing protective gear, returns to it to get the number off the side so that he can contact the military. As the horde of zombies begin to multiply in Jesse’s town, the survivors begin to band together to find a way to escape the army of the undead that pursues them.
