The story
In 1878, British explorer, Sir Hubert Warrington (Douglas Kennedy) is held prisoner in an old fortress on the Nile. A despotic Hindu (James Lanphier) keeps him captive, as Sir Hubert discovered the hidden tomb where Cleopatra's treasure is buried. Sir Hubert refuses to disclose the exact location of the jewels, resisting the Hindu's many painful tortures.
