When Egyptologist Abel Trelawney (Lloyd Bochner) is discovered in his mansion with his arm torn savagely in seven places, it seems that the mummified corpse of Queen Tera has risen again to fulfill an ancient curse. Trelawney has spent a lifetime plundering the riches found in the tombs of long-dead Egyptian monarchs. His daughter (Amy Locane) finds him near to death, and discovers instructions that his body is neither to be moved or left alone. Has Trelawney incurred the wrath of the ancient Egyptians, and, if so, will he and his daughter survive the night?
