After being released from the prison mental ward, Coffin Joe is greeted at the gate by his old and loyal servant Bruno Rui Rezende, who takes him to a secluded basement below a favela in So Paulo. As well as Bruno, the hideout is populated by four fanatics who are obsessed with Coffin Joes history and ideas, and have been waiting and preparing for his arrival in order that they may faithfully serve him. After questioning their motives and testing their loyalty, Coffin Joe immediately orders the followers to begin kidnapping women so he can renew his murderous quest for the continuation of the blood, his lifelong obsession to find who he determines to be a perfect woman who will bear him a son. His first victim is Dr. Hilda Clo De Pris, a controversial eugenicist who Bruno kidnaps. Coffin Joe tests her will by injecting her with drugs and she has hallucinations of Coffin Joe cutting off her buttock and presenting it to her after which she willingly eats it. Meanwhile, Coronel Claudiomiro Pontes Jece Valado, a fervidly Roman Catholic police captain who holds an old grudge against Coffin Joe for blinding his eye, and Father Eugnio Milhem Cortaz, a mentally unstable priest the son of one of Coffin Joes past victims, Dr. Rudolfo in At Midnight Ill Take Your Soul learn about Coffin Joes release, and decide to join forces to seek Coffin Joe and kill him once and for all.On his first night, Coffin Joe starts to be haunted by ghostly visions of his previous victims, including Terezinha and Lenita from At Midnight Ill Take Your Soul, and Laura from This Night Ill Possess Your Corpse. However, he convinces himself that they are just his imagination although they continue to haunt him throughout the film. He later singles out a young gypsy woman named Elena Nara Sakar, who has also been intrigued with him since his appearance at the favela. Elenas aunts, Cabria Helena Ignez and Lucrcia Dbora Muniz, knowing of his evil history, perform a ritual to protect Elena from Coffin Joe
