The President is assassinated, but instead of letting the people know and have them go into a panic, they need to find a solution and quick. One member of the Administration gets the idea to contact a Dr. Herbert West to use his formula to resurrect the President. But, West went underground after he escaped from prison sometime ago. Instead, they contact Dan Cain, who was an associate of his to make it. Cain tries to get out of it, but they threaten his family. When Cain can't figure it out, he decides to bait West into coming back... enter Herbert West, Re-Animator, to resurrect the President. Chaos ensues.
