"...what character deserves to be left alone more at the end of the world than that idiot Ash?"
--- Bruce Campbell
Plot:
This third installment in the Evil Dead series picks up right where the last one ended.
The movie starts with Ash falling out of the vortex in the sky and landing in medieval Europe,
which is plagued by the Evil. Ash finds himself taken prisioner, along with Duke Henry, and
several of his men, by King Arthur and his army. The prisoners are to be thrown into a pit
which contains several deadites. The first prisioner lasts but a few seconds before having
his blood sprayed all over. After Ash kills a few demons in the pit, he gains some respect.
The people in the castle start believing that Ash is the prophesied One. Ash sets
Duke Henry and his remaining men free. Then, Ash is sent on a quest to find the Book of
the Dead, because he is told that a spell contained in it is the only thing that will get
him back home to his own time.Ash had been instructed to speak three words exactly before
removing the book, but he forgets the exact words and makes up something similar, this
unleashes the Army of Darkness. Ash and the King Arthur's army fight against the Army of
Darkness, and in the end are victorious. Ash then is to drink a potion and say the three
words again to get back home. Ash once again messes up on the words, after he gets home
and back the his job at S-Mart an evil demon shows up wanting to eat his soul, Ash makes quick
work of this demon, and Army of Darkness ends.

all about evil dead 4 (army of darkness 2)
THE OFFICIAL WORD (from http://www.bruce-campbell.com/)
So, you want "Evil Dead IV"/"Army of Darkness II," eh?
Well, don't hold your breath, buckos. There have been rumors
a plenty flying around the whacky Web so I have decided to
post the definative answer.The 4th installment hasn't been
made for a simple reason - "Army of Darkness" didn't rake in
enough cash to justify another film. The basic economics of
Hollywood rule, gang,I hate to break it to you. It's like
this - no Box Office, no sequel. No other explanation is correct,
no other one is needed.Let me be clear,however,on one point:
I'd be happy to do it - so would Sam, but let's not beat that
dead horse any more until it becomes a reality...IF it ever
does.Now,I could lie to you, but you're grown up (some of you)
and I'm sure you'd rather have the straight dope than some
phony wind-bag explanation. In the meantime, enjoy the slew of
re-releases in stores now.
