Jim and Suzy drift peacefully through Crystal Lake on his houseboat – at least until its anchor snags an underwater power cable and drags it to the submerged body of Jason Voorhees! As Jim and Suzy make love, Jason boards the boat and kills the two teenagers. The graduating class of Lakeview High boards the SS Lazarus, bound for New York City. Boarding the ship with her teacher Miss Van Deusen, Rennie Wickham is accosted by her uncle (and trip chaperone) Charles McCulloch. Despite his obvious displeasure at her attendance, she boards and meets up with her boyfriend Sean Robertson. Sean also has problems with his father, Admiral Robertson, the captain of the Lazarus. But their personal problems are about to become secondary to one big problem – Jim’s boat drifts by and the Lazarus picks up an unwelcome stowaway…
