Slaughter, a fierce Vietnam Veteran and ex Green Beret had avenged the death of his parents by killing the gangster/ mob member- who was responsible for their death- in Mexico. The sequel is relocated in Los Angeles, California- a place that Slaughter sought to escape the past events and begin his attempt to a tranquil life in the beautiful city of angels. The film opens up with Slaughter (Jim Brown) at a friend's house during a lavish outdoor picnic/lunch celebration. The new crime boss, Duncan played by Ed McMahon is now after Slaughter, for having killed ex Mafia Boss, Dominc Hoff from director Jack Starrett's 1972 Slaughter . The viewer sees a change in theme as the mob is now after Slaughter to settle the score. The opening scene begins with an old World War One biplane flying by the outdoor celebration and then opening fire on the members at the picnic. It resulted in the graphic death by headshot of Slaughter's friend which reignited the old spark of fury and rage that Slaughter had when he was told of the death of his parents. Duncan's first assassination attempt in essence was a failure and only proved to wake up a sleeping beast. He therefore, hired a new hit-man named Kirk-played by Don Stroud- to bring Slaughter to his own demise. Rather than being in protective custody under the supervision of Duncan's crooked cops Slaughter remains on the streets and is now out for his new enemy, Duncan.

Also evident throughout the swamp are numerous indicators of pollution, which Pickett believes are connected to the pesticides the Crockett's use on their island plantation. After Clint (Adam Roarke) accidentally tips over Smith's canoe, he and his sister Karen (Joan Van Ark) escort Smith to the family mansion, where he meets the entire Crockett family. The grouchy, wheelchair-bound patriarch, Jason (Ray Milland), intends on spending the next day enjoying both the 4th of July and his own birthday celebrations uninterrupted. Due to the mutual dislike of the fauna around the mansion, Jason has sent a man named Grover to spray pesticide in order to get rid of the amphibians. Pickett later discovers Grover's corpse covered in snake bites in the swamp not far from the house. Despite this warning, Jason continues with his celebrations the next day.
