The Caretaker then transforms with Blaze, revealing that the Caretaker was actually Carter Slade. The Caretaker reveals that it is hidden inside a spade, telling Johnny that he is more powerful than his predecessors because he sold his soul for love rather than greed, before giving the contract. Johnny returns to the Caretaker, demanding the contract to save Roxanne. Blackheart then orders Johnny to retrieve the contract and bring it to him in San Venganza. Johnny tries to use the Penance Stare on Blackheart, but it proves ineffective as Blackheart has no soul. At home, Johnny discovers that Blackheart has killed his friend Mack and taken Roxanne hostage, intending to kill her if Johnny does not deliver the contract. He returns to the Caretaker, who tells him of his predecessor Carter Slade, a Texas Ranger who hid the contract of San Venganza. After brief imprisonment for murders Blackheart committed, Johnny kills the air angel Abigor and escapes from the police. Unconvinced, she walks away in disbelief. Roxanne comes to visit before leaving town, and Johnny reveals himself as the Devil's bounty hunter. At home, Johnny tries to control his firepower. Johnny leaves to find Roxanne, who's reporting the previous night's events on the news. He assures Johnny that what happened was real and will happen again, especially at night, when he is near an evil soul. The next day, he meets a man called the Caretaker, who knows about the Ghost Rider's history. He then uses the Penance Stare, a power that causes mortals to feel all the pain they have caused others, searing their soul, on a street thug. Johnny transforms into the Ghost Rider, his flesh burning off his skeleton, and kills the earth angel Gressil. Mephistopheles makes Johnny the new Ghost Rider and offers to return his soul if he defeats Blackheart. He convinces her to attend a dinner date. He runs into his former sweetheart Roxanne Simpson, now a news reporter, whom he abandoned after his father's death.

In the present, Johnny has become a famous motorcycle stuntman. Mephistopheles' son Blackheart comes to Earth and seeks aid from the Hidden (three fallen angels bonded with the elements of air, earth, and water) to find the lost contract of San Venganza. Johnny accuses Mephistopheles of causing his father's death, but Mephistopheles considers his side of the contract fulfilled and promises to see Johnny again. The next morning, Johnny awakens to discover the cancer cured, but his father dies later that same day from burns sustained in a stunt accident. In 1986, Mephistopheles reaches out to 17-year-old Johnny Blaze, offering to cure his father's cancer in exchange for Johnny's soul. Seeing that the agreement would give Mephistopheles the power to bring hell on Earth, the Rider refuses and escapes with it. The demon Mephistopheles sends his bounty hunter of the damned, the Ghost Rider, to retrieve the contract of San Venganza for control of a thousand corrupt souls. A sequel, titled Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, was released on February 17, 2012, with Cage reprising his role.
