action
On the way home from graduation, Jenny and her friends Sean, Barry and Heather are walking through a dark forest to take a shortcut. But suddenly a jeep appears and drives the young people. The driver appears to be passed out and Jenny, Barry and Heather want to get help. They come to an abandoned house with a gas station and ask Darla there to call for help in the form of a tow truck with her phone. Meanwhile, Sean remains alone at the scene of the accident, where a tow truck arrives after a while. There the limping Vilmer gets out. Sean is then pursued and murdered by him.
Jenny, Barry and Heather now want to go back to the car and walk back down the street to the scene of the accident. But nobody is to be seen there, and they go back to the street. Once there, they can be picked up by a passing vehicle that takes them to an old farmhouse. Leatherface is waiting for them there, who grabs Heather and hangs up on a meat hook. Now Jenny has to fight for her survival and flees back to Darla. After several car chases, she is captured by the Sawyer family. There she is supposed to be murdered and eaten. She escapes, pursued by Leatherface and Vilmer. Vilmer is killed by a low-flying plane while Jenny is able to save herself. She is taken to a hospital where she meets Sally Hardesty in a wheelchair. In the final shot you can see Leatherface swinging his chainsaw in desperation.
