To do so, he again needs the help of Reggie Hammond (Murphy), who is a newly released convict. At the same time, a mastermind who calls himself the Ice Man has hired a pair of bikers to kill Reggie, while a rogue member of the gang (Divoff) is out to kill Jack for the death of his brother from the previous installment.
