The Master severs and burns Torgo's left hand. However, he regains consciousness and stands up. Two of the wives attack Torgo, and he falls to the ground, apparently dead. The Master summons Torgo and hypnotizes him, ordering the wives to kill him. The family leaves the house and runs off into the desert to escape. Meanwhile, Michael wakes up and unties himself, going back to the house to collect Margaret and Debbie. The Master returns and breaks up the fight, and he decides to sacrifice Torgo and his first wife instead. This turns into a catfight, where the wives tumble around in the dirt. The other wives argue with each other about whether Debbie should become a wife or be sacrificed as well. The Master awakens and summons his wives, telling them that Michael must be sacrificed to the deity Manos, and that Margaret and Debbie will become his new wives. As Michael runs behind them, Torgo appears and uses a stick to knock him out and then ties him to a pole. Margaret and Debbie run back to the house to get their things and escape. The wives are dressed in diaphanous nightgowns, the Master in a robe with two red hands on it. Following Debbie, Michael and Margaret stumble upon the Master and his wives, sleeping around a blazing fire. Debbie returns, holding the leash of the big black dog from the painting. Michael and Margaret find Debbie is gone and go to look for her. Torgo secretly watches Margaret changing her clothes. Torgo tells them there is no phone in the house, so the family reluctantly decides to stay the night. Michael returns and is unable to start the car. Margaret threatens to tell Michael of Torgo's advances, but Torgo convinces her not to say anything by promising to protect her. Meanwhile, Torgo reveals his sudden attraction to Margaret and wants to keep her, defying the Master's desire to marry her. Michael buries the dog in the desert and goes back to the house. Michael investigates with a flashlight and revolver from his car, and he finds Peppy lying dead on the ground. An ominous howl frightens Margaret, and Peppy breaks away from Debbie and runs outside. Inside the house, Michael and Margaret find a disturbing painting of the Master-a dark, malevolent-looking man and a black dog with glowing eyes.
The film was followed by a prequel, Manos: The Rise of Torgo (2018), and a sequel, Manos Returns (2018). The original 16 mm workprint was discovered in California in 2011, from which a new, remastered version of the film was released on Blu-ray by Synapse Films on October 13, 2015.
Its MST3K appearance resulted in several DVD releases of the original film and three of the MST3K episode. The film has been criticized for continuous deficiencies in editing, continuity, audiovisual synchronization, pacing, and acting, as well as several inexplicable and disconnected scenes, such as a nameless couple repeatedly shown kissing in a distant car and the Master's wives breaking into catfights. This developed its cult reputation as one of the worst films ever made.
