After planning to only rob a gold mine, an outlaw and his two sons end up killing all of the miners. While fleeing to Canada, they stop at a small cabin in the woods where they find a woman and her stepdaughter living together. What happens afterward is told through the memories of the step-daughter, now a patient locked away in a mental hospital.

The wealthy patriarch of the Sinclair family lives in mortal fear of being buried alive due to a rare condition that causes him to sometimes appear lifeless. After his death, relatives learn that his will stipulates a strict series of orders that must be followed in order to receive their inheritance. The family refuses to comply and the patriarch returns from the grave to exact revenge by killing each of them in the way they fear most.
