Le criminel et cambrioleur Kriminal, toujours muni de son masque et de sa combinaison de squelette, s'est encore échappé de prison. De retour à Londres, après avoir été incarcéré à Istanbul, il décide de diriger, sous une fausse identité, une maison de repos pour personnes âgées qu'ils tuent afin de s'emparer de leurs primes d'assurances-vies. Mais c'est beaucoup trop facile pour Kriminal qui, en manque d'adrénaline, s'ennuie profondément. Par mégarde, la complice de Kriminal brise une statuette exotique à l'effigie d'un bouddha. Ils y découvrent à l'intérieur une partie d'un plan accompagné d'un message crypté. Incomplet, il permet de récupérer deux toiles de maître d'une valeur inestimable cachés dans un lieu secret.

After the death of Antony and Cleopatra Egypt is ruled by the young tyrant Pharaoh Nemorat and his mother Tegi. Cleopatra has left a surviving daughter, Shila, raised by the king and queen of Assyria. When Nemorat conquers Assyria, Shila is brought to the Egyptian court; and, at the instigation of Nemorat's mother, marries the pharaoh. The pharaoh, who is a mentally disturbed hypochondriac, has a good and wise physician, Resi, who falls in love with Shila, and encourages her to go on living despite the killing of her Assyrian surrogate parents by Tegi. When Shila spurns an amorous Nemorat one evening, he goes into a violent rage causing him to faint. He is then poisoned by his ambitious chief overseer Kefren and his mistress. Shila is convicted of the murder and is sentenced to be buried alive with Nemorat. Resi comes up with a plan to save Shila by having her take a drug, which causes her to lapse into a temporary coma, while he bribes the chief of the "house of death" to allow him to take Shila away in the dead of night. The chief of the house of death proves treacherous by not allowing Resi to rescue Shila, but in a struggle with Resi he is killed. Resi, though, is seriously wounded and is rescued and tended by his faithful servant, but he does not recover before Shila is entombed with Pharaoh Nemorat. The common people, who have benefited from Resi's kind care of them, aid him in capturing the royal architect, who helps Resi and his associates, greedy tomb robbers, to break into Nemorat's tomb and save Shila. Shila and Resi ride off in freedom while Kefren gets his just deserts when Tegi finds out that he really poisoned Nemorat: he is killed by the palace guards.
