On a nearby college campus, a party at a fraternity house is celebrating the winning of the 1940 New England Seaboard Conference championship. A young couple, Leslie (KITTY VALLACHER) and her boyfriend Paul (JAY SCOTT) decide they want to be alone and drive off in Paul's car for the damp and eerie privacy of the cemetery. When Paul slips an engagement ring on Leslie's finger, she unabashedly leads him to the back seat at the car where they proceed toward love-making, unaware that Caleb Croft (MICHAEL PATAKI) has risen from the grave and is stalking through the cemetery in their direction. With more than human strength Croft rips the door off the car, brutally murders Paul and when Leslie tries to escape, traps her in an open grave and rapes her.

When the detectives talk to Leslie In her hospital room she seems unable to comprehend until they show her a photograph of the man who is missing from the crypt, Caleb Croft. Leslie becomes hysterical.
