The film opens with Ash as a slave being dragged through the dessert in 1300AD, as he narrates the opening he talks about his past life, how he had a job in S-Mart (shop smart, shop S-Mart) and a girlfriend, he then goes on to narrate a alternate version of the events in the last film, he talks about the Necronomican Ex Mortis, the book of the dead, and how it awoke "something dark" and it took his girlfriend and possessed his hand, explaining that he had to cut it off and replace it with the iconic chainsaw hand. The scene shifts to an alternate version of the Evil Dead 2's ending, while Ash dose get sucked into the portal same as the last film its a very different sequence. With the scene set firmly on the portal the opening credits "Bruce Campbell vs Army of Darkness" come up in smoke with dramatic music being played.
The altered back story could be interpreted as Ash is a bit of an idiot, as he is the one narrating the opening, and gets in wrong. The opening scene shows that this is a horror/comedy a lot more clearly than in the last, for example Ash's manic, and hilarious, laughter as he cuts his possessed hand off. While not much of the plot is given away as we know from the first two films it will feature Ash battling the deadites, demon zombie monsters, and him trying to find a way out of 1300AD and back to his own time.
