Emil Jannings keeps Pola Negri prisoner in a remote Egyptian tomb. She is rescued by an English painter, who takes her back to London and attempts to make her civilized. Meanwhile her old captor becomes a servant for an English prince, vowing to take revenge on her for some vague reasons. Their paths eventually cross again, but not before subjecting the viewer to boring melodrama. Only Emil Jannings as the mummy/captor manages to inject any life into this limp early effort from Lubitsch.
