Joe Newman, a naturalised Briton, is telephoned by his German father, whom he believed long dead, at the same time as a funeral is taking place in Bavaria - with his father's name on the coffin.

Egito, 1895. Três arqueologistas britânicos, John Banning (Peter Cushing), Stephen Banning (Felix Aylmer) e Joseph Whemple (Raymond Hutley), descobrem o túmulo de uma princesa egípcia, Ananka (Yvonne Furneaux), que morreu há quatro mil anos. Sem imaginar o que realmente fazia, Stephen lê o "Pergaminho da Vida". Isto faz voltar a vida Kharis (Christopher Lee), o guardião da tumba, que recebe a ajuda de Mehemet Bey (George Pastell), um egípcio que não aceita o túmulo ter sido profanado por "infiéis". Três anos depois, Mehemet leva para a Inglaterra Kharis, que terá a missão de matar os três arqueólogos que lideraram a expedição que achou a tumba de Ananka.
