In Egypt in 1895, archaeologists John Banning, his father Stephen and his uncle Joseph Whemple are searching for the tomb of Princess Ananka, the high priestess of the god Karnak.

Before they enter, an Egyptian named Mehemet Bey warns them not to go in, lest they face the fatal curse against desecrators.
