Plot
Five years after the incidents of the first film, researcher Charles, the brother of one of Scientists, finds that John, the psychotic killer will be still alive and informs his friend Ravi, a Police officer to kill him as soon as possible.
Four college students – Kousalya, Urmila, Lynda and Nancy along with their boyfriends Gupta, Majnu, Vivek and Ramani goes for vacation to an isolated mansion set aside of the town. They also takes their colleague Ganga, a depressed girl, along with them by lying her that they are going to meet a doctor to treat her medical condition. The mansion looks abandoned and it is shown that there is no human movement nearby.
As the researcher suggested, the psychotic John, who previously murdered a rancher and his wife, roams around the mansion to kill the youngsters. While on a trip, some goons misbehaves with Kousalya, and gets beaten up by Gupta. The Goons in revenge enters the mansion to kill Gupta, but were killed by John one by one. In the meantime Charles gives Ravi some bullets injected with drugs which may stop John, after examining the dead bodies of the rancher and his wife.
The devilish John now preys on the girls except Ganga and their respective boyfriends, one by one. He also kills the butler, who advises Ganga to escape from the place. John also strangles a policeman who interferes in his way. The policeman alerts Ravi about John before dying.
When John chases to kill Ganga, she hides at a nearby petrol station. She burns him by spraying petrol on him. But, a furious and fully burnt John survives the accident and pursues her into a factory, where she activates hydraulic press, and crushes him. Partially crashed and immovable John suddenly grabs Ganga. But she breaks free from him and faints near the hydraulic press. John stoods up and walks towards Ganga, to kill her. At the time, Ravi enters the spot and shoots John's body through the heart, finally killing him with injected bullets. Finally, Ravi and injured Ganga leaves the factory where fellow policemen wait for them outside. At the end, it is shown that John awakens from the dead as a skeleton.
