It is the second film in the ''Mr. Vampire'' franchise, and the sequel to ''Mr. Vampire''. ''Mr. Vampire'' and its sequels were released as part of the jiangshi cinematic boom in Hong Kong during the 1980s.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Lam|first=Stephanie|year=2009|title=Hop on Pop: Jiangshi Films in a Transnational Context|journal=CineAction|issue=78|pages=46–51}}</ref>

In the film, an archaeologist discovers a trio of immobilized jiangshi, and hopes to profit from his discovery. All three jiangshi are soon revived. A failed attempt to kill the two adult jiangshi results in their escape.

==Plot== Kwok, an archaeologist, brings his two students with him in search of ancient artifacts. They stumble upon a cave and discover three ''jiangshi'' (Chinese "hopping" vampires) — an adult male, an adult female, and a male child. The vampires are immobilized because they have Chinese talismans stuck to their foreheads. Kwok brings them back to his lab and decides to sell the boy vampire in the black market.

While transporting the boy vampire, Kwok accidentally strips the talisman off its forehead and breaks the charm. The creature awakens and escapes. It enters a house by chance and befriends a little girl, who mistakes the young vampire for an illegal immigrant boy. Meanwhile, back in the lab, one of Kwok's students mischievously removes the talismans from the adult vampires and revives them. The vampires start to "hop" around and attack people. It took the three men much trouble to put them back to rest temporarily.

One of Kwok's students was bitten by the male vampire while fighting it, so he goes to see Dr Lam for treatment. Lam recognises the bite marks and realises that there are vampires running loose in town. Together with his daughter Gigi and his prospective son-in-law Yen, Lam embarks on a quest to destroy the vampires.

Lam tells Yen and Gigi to secretly follow Kwok's student back to the lab and find the vampires. While Gigi goes to notify the police of their discovery, Yen accidentally removes the talismans on the vampires' foreheads and awaken them. Luckily, Lam and Gigi show up and help him. After a long fight, they put the vampires to sleep using sedatives from the lab. The police arrive right after and take the two vampires to the morgue in the police station.

Lam and Yen sneak into the morgue and try to kill the vampires with a wooden sword but fail. Kwok and his students also arrive at the morgue because his student needs to get the blood of one of the vampires to cure himself after being bitten. Lam and Yen pretend to be corpses while Kwok and his students carry the vampires out. They put the bodies in the back of a truck while Lam and Yen sneak into the driver seat and hijack the truck. Later, they are stopped by police officers at a roadblock and the two vampires escape. The boy vampire sees the two adult vampires escaping on the news and lets out a loud cry that alerts the vampires to his location.

Lam and Yen hear on their radio that there are vampire sightings and they arrive at the children's house. With the help of the police, Lam and Yen kill the two adult vampires and question the humaneness of their methods. However, upon seeing how fond the children have grown of the boy vampire, Yen decides to inject it with anesthetics instead of killing it. He disguises the vampire in normal clothing and sneaks it out of the house without the police noticing. Kwok arrives and falls face-first to the ground, revealing his two students behind him who have now become vampires after failing to procure a sample of vampire blood to cure themselves.
