Recruited by the R.I.P.D., a resurrected sheriff returns to Earth to save humanity from a gateway to hell.
The film's opening credits show Otis Clairborne opening a gateway to hell in search of gold, as a result of which a mysterious being takes possession of him.
A few months later, Sheriff Roy Pulsipher is killed by a gang of criminals led by Otis Clairborne in Red Creek (Utah). As in the first film, Roy enters an office of the Rest In Peace Department (R.I.P.D.) on his ascent to the afterlife. After looking through the weapons, Roy commits himself to the R.I.P.D. by shaking hands with the office manager Hano to fight Deados. He is sent back to Earth, lands in an outhouse in an open field, is overrun by buffalo and meets his partner, Jeanne d'Arc.
