Four teenage kids from the tiny mining town of Gold Lick vandalize a nineteenth-century cemetery of Chinese laborers when one of them disturbs the demon, Guan-Di, who has been guarding the souls of 100s of workers killed there.

One surviving teen goes in search of his hero, over-the-hill B-movie star, Bruce Campbell. He kidnaps the actor and brings him to Gold Lick to save the town.

What will the sorry, boozy Bruce do when he realizes that Guan-Di, the demon, is for real?
