OVERVIEW

In 1895 an archaeological team discover the tomb of an Egyptian high priestess, Princess Ananka. Due to a broken leg, John Banning doesn't see the inside of the tomb. His father Stephen takes over the role of unearthing the various artefacts. Finding an ancient scroll, and reading the words aloud, he unwittingly brings to life Kharis, Ananka's protector, who was buried with her thousands of years ago.

When Stephen Banning is driven to insanity by the sight of the mummy and left a wreck, Mehemet Bey, priest of Karnack, takes the opportunity to steal the scroll.

The mummy is secretly transported to England, and Mehemet, armed with the scroll vows vengeance on the tomb's desecrators.
