"I just can't take no pleasure in killing. There's just some things you gotta do.

             Don't mean you have to like it."

The year is 1973. An unknown vandal has constructed ghoulish sculptures out of human remains from the graveyards in a small Texas town. A group of college students, two girls: Sally and Pam, and three boys: Jerry, Kirk and Sally's wheelchair-bound brother Franklin are heading through the back roads of Texas en route to the grave of Sally's grandfather, one of those believed vandalized. A vile smell alerts them to the presence of a nearby slaughterhouse, and Franklin tells them about it. Against their better judgement, they stop for a hitchhiker, who acts crazily, cutting his hand open with Franklin's pen knife and subsequently slashing Franklin's arm with a straight razor before the others manage to eject him from the vehicle. In a bizarre moment, he smears his bloody hand on their van before they can drive away.

They stop at a gas station, but the owner tells them that the tanks are empty. The girls go in for some sodas as Franklin tells the owner that they are going to his grandfather's old place. The man seems to want to discourage them from going to the house, giving them a subtle warning that the locals don't like strangers intruding on their property. After buying some barbequed food, they leave and go to the old house anyway.

Kirk and Pam go to look for a swimming hole as Jerry, Sally, and Franklin stay behind. Kirk and Pam find the water is all dried up in the swimming hole, but the sound of a running generator attracts them to a small farmhouse nearby. Kirk hopes to barter with the occupants for some gas, and they discover something odd on the property: a large canvas hides a junkyard full of vehicles, most of them intact. Kirk knocks on the door to find that there seems to be nobody home. He finds a human tooth on the front porch and gives it to Pam, who reacts in disgust and goes to sit on a yard swing. Kirk continues to knock on the door, which drifts open. Hearing a strange, inhuman squealing sound, he runs down a hall and suddenly a large menacing figure with a mask of human skin looms out at him. "Leatherface" kills Kirk with a blow to the head from a sledgehammer, dragging the squirming body through the doorway, and slams a steel door shut with an ominous bang.

Pam gets restless and enters the house looking for Kirk. She goes into the dining room and falls into a nightmarish collection of body parts and bones from both humans and animals. She sees furniture made out of human limbs, a live chicken in a small cage hanging from the ceiling, strange decorations made out of skulls and bones. The floor is covered in bone fragments and chicken feathers. Pam slightly vomits and begins to go into hysterics, screaming for Kirk. She gets up and lurches into the hall, just as the steel door flies open and the large man bolts out at her. He chases her and catches her just as she reaches the front porch, dragging her kicking and screaming body back into the house. Leatherface takes Pam into the kitchen and hangs her on a meathook through her upper back. In agony and shock, Pam, still alive, is forced to watch as Leatherface casually dismembers Kirk's dead body with a chainsaw.

When Kirk and Pam don't return, Jerry goes looking for them and finds the same house.....yet when he doesn't return Sally and Franklin argue about going to find him. They can't leave because Jerry has the keys to the van. Sally wants to go alone to find him because she can't manage Franklin's wheelchair through the brush, but Franklin insists on going with her. As they struggle through the dark trees, Leatherface jumps out and makes short work of Franklin....before chasing Sally through the bushes......yet she makes it safety to the gas station....however this guy is the brother of Leatherface and he takes her back to the house.......she is alone......and what follows is shear terror........
