故事围绕着两只在1961年的苏联时于监狱服刑的兔子普京和基廉列克。第一季关于在监狱中发生的故事,在普京刑期满的前一天,基廉列克因在杂志里发现限量版帆布鞋即将发售而决定逃狱,普京也莫名其妙地跟上去。。山田日後承認在開拍此片之前,已心諳渥美清的肺病步入末期,決定此章為最後一章,並安排由淺丘瑠璃子演的莉莉送寅次郎踏上人生的最後一程。分別15年後,兩人於如詩如畫的奄美大島重逢,感情依舊,鬥氣繼續,沒完沒了似的。正如山田所想,雖然系列必須完結,但始終不想為寅次郎的故事/人生劃上句號。結局如常開放,代表寅一直繼續他的旅程,日本人依然有夢。
公映後翌年,渥美清病逝,享年68歲,本片亦成為他的遺作。

Although the series must come to its conclusion, Yamada has deliberately left the film's ending open, so as not to let the curtain fall on "Tora-san". Atsumi Kiyosh passed away at the age of 68 in the year following the film's release, making this film his last.。美国某普通高中,上世纪70年代曾发生一起骇人听闻的惨案,名叫杰克(Billy Aaron Brown 饰)的男孩受到同学的排挤,结果被关在锅炉房中遇到意外活活烧死。时光流逝,当年的惨剧已渐渐被人遗忘,少数知情者也将其尘封在记忆深处,不愿提起。保罗(Preston Jones 饰)、迪安娜(Catherine Combs 饰)、丽莎(Maitland McConnell 饰)因各种原因遭到校长留校察看的处罚。傍晚,狂风大作,暴雨倾盆,孩子们被困在校园内。就在此时,一个模糊漆黑的亡灵开始在他们周围逡巡,恐怖与死亡不断出现,杰克的亡灵似乎被震耳的雷声惊醒。 孩子们试图逃脱,却发现自己已然陷入40年前的生死迷局之中……。
