In New York City, Johnny Blaze finds and tortures a demon, demanding to know the whereabouts of the other escapees from Hell. At the Fadeaway Pub, Danny Ketch is awakened by Stacy Dolan, who is investigating the death of one of the bar's regular patrons and the eyewitness reports of a "man with a flaming skull". Danny insists that he wasn't responsible for the patron's death and Stacy asks him to help find out who killed him. In Hell, the demon tortured by Blaze is rescued from his punishment by Lilith, who applauds the demon for leading Blaze right where she wants him to go.
On a boat at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal, Blaze is in the process of killing the Hell escapees, who have taken over the bodies of innocent people. He uses his Damnation Stare to send the demons back to Hell, but to everyone else it appears that he is just killing normal people. Stacy arrives with the police outside and calls Danny, who quickly transforms into the Ghost Rider and races to the cruise ship. He arrives in time to stop Johnny from killing another demon and the fight leads outside, where a demon has possessed the body of the SWAT Team leader. Sensing the demon's presence, Johnny kills the police officer and then rides off, pursued by Danny. Atop the Brooklyn Bridge, Johnny gets the upper hand over Danny and strips him of the Spirit of Vengeance before dumping his body in the river.
