As the trio prepares to leave for their holiday, they realize that they have left their travel documents behind. They hurry back to retrieve the documents, but they are too late, and the caravan has already left without them. They decide to stay on the island and attend the conference with the elderly priests.

During the conference, Ted and Dougal find it hard to keep awake and eventually fall asleep during a presentation. However, they wake up to find that the elderly priests have all left the conference room and have gone to bed. They decide to sneak out and explore the island.

As they wander through the woods, they hear strange noises and see eerie lights. They find themselves at the door of a deserted house that is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a former resident. They enter the house to investigate, but they are soon trapped inside.

Meanwhile, Jack is left alone with the elderly priests and is horrified to find out that they are all zombies. The elderly zombies break out of their hotel rooms and begin to attack the other guests. Jack must find a way to fend off the zombies and save the other guests.
