Synopsis

The Gingerdead Man is on a tropical island. He ruminates on killing Sarah Leigh but does not know where she is. A newspaper blows by with information on Sarah’s upcoming “Bake off” and he starts planning her demise.

Larnell now owns and operates “Dick’s Head Shop” with girlfriend Velicity, and they briefly recount the events of the first three Evil Bong films in passing. Larnell is dealing with two prospective buyers when Hambo the Clown enters the shop. Larnell’s assistant String deals with Hambo, who is looking to sell an Ooga Booga replica to the store for some fast cash. String refuses Ham the offer when two tourists enter the store asking for directions. Hambo inexplicably poses them for a photo and promptly leaves with it. String sells the tourists on some marijuana paraphernalia and the pair leaves. Larnell is still selling the two patrons on some glassware by allowing them to test it with his own marijuana when the pair reveal they actually have no money. Larnell has String kick them out, who ominously returns with a bloody switch blade. Larnell goes to a back room and pulls Eebee out from a hidden safe.

Rabbit enters the shop and bearing Evil Bong merchandise. He tries to sell it to Larnell who instead is interested in the replica Gingerdead Man cookie that Rabbit is eating. He directs him to a newly opened bakery nearby called Dough Re Mi Bakery. Larnell goes to buy a cookie and Rabbit waits for him to return in the back and finds Eebee. He smokes from her and is pulled into her Bong World.

Sarah Leigh is working with her two employees at the bakery during this time and one of them asks about her newspaper article covering the bakery’s opening. Larnell walks in and asks Sarah to visit his store so they can form a partnership promoting their two small business and she leaves. The Gingerdead Man kills both employees of the bakery while they have sex in the back. He then follows Sarah to Larnell’s shop. Luann enters the shop asking about Brett. It is revealed that Brett and Bachman admitted their love for each other to everyone's surprise. Luann insults Sarah and leaves angrily. Larnell enters the back room with Sarah expecting to find Rabbit and instead finds Eebee. The Gingerdead Man arrives and kills String by shoving a bong through his head. Larnell and Sarah escape him by entering the Bong World. Eebee convinces the Gingerdead Man she has the power to restore his human form if he smokes from her and enters the Bong World too so he follows Sarah and Larnell.

Gingerdead Man finds himself in a Bong World jungle and meets King Bong, who has been trapped inside the Bong World by Eebee since the events of Evil Bong 2. King Bong uses his Poontang Tribeswomen to send Gingey to the Pastry Tribunal where he is sentenced to eternal damnation. Larnell and Sarah find Rabbit enjoying himself. He explains that the Bong World takes advantage and feeds off one's innermost desires, so they must think about not escaping. Gingey convinces the Tribunal to give him one chance at life as a cookie saying he will be good. Larnell and Sarah are transported out of the Bong World to Eebee’s surprise. She insists the Gingerdead Man will not be escaping who encounters Rabbit. Rabbit uses the Tribeswomen to neutralize him. The final scene shows the Gingerdead Man smoking a joint while sitting on a rock in the Bong World.
