A young couple, Johnny and Barbara, go to a cemetery to bring flowers to Barb's dead father's grave. After that, Johnny starts teasing Barb about dead rising from their graves, coming to get her. Then, Johnny points to a man lumbering around some grave stones, claiming that he is one of those "living dead." This becomes true, as the [[zombie]] suddenly kills Johnny, and the frightened Barb then gets away from the zombie in her car.

Barb then takes refuge in a secluded barnhouse, where she meets Ben, a resourceful drifter who advises that the [[cannibalism|cannibalistic]] zombies can only be killed by being shot in the head or bludgeoned on the head. Ben and Barbara watch emergency broadcasts about the zombie outbreak, and meet a man and his wife whose daughter is very sick. Ben does whatever he can to keep the zombies away, while the remaining people are panicked. However, the young girl soon becomes a zombie herself, and eats her parents. Ben then kills the zombie girl, and locks himself in the basement, because some zombies have broken into the house and have taken Barb.
