Prince Khor-Ru was the cousin of King Tut. After his death, he was mummified. Centuries later, Ben Hassad and his crew begin to search his pyramid for his ancient treasures. Along with Ben is his daughter Sari and his nephew Gabe. They soon meet a woman named Nila Rahmad, who is posing as a journalist; she carries around her neck an amulet containing a piece of amber. Uncle Ben later tells Gabe about the magic words "Teki Kahru Teki Kahra Teki Khari", which, if uttered five times in succession, will awaken Khor-Ru. Later, Gabe utters the chant five times. Soon, they begin to get worried when Uncle Ben doesn't return from the pyramid. After seeing Dr. Omar Fielding run off, they decide to enter the pyramid. They enter Khor-Ru's treasure room and find Uncle Ben unconscious. They also see Nila and a now awakened Prince Khor-Ru, who Nila reveals to be her brother.

During the confrontation with Gabe and Sari, Nila calls on her brother to kill the children, but the mummy walks right by them and instead starts choking his sister. "Let me rest in peace," the mummy groans as he assaults Nila. Gabe intervenes and accidentally pulls off Nila's amulet; it crashes to the ground shattering into a thousand shards. Nila howls out and tells Gabe that the pendant was how she stayed alive all these years, and at night she would revert into a scarab and climb inside the amber; she then shrinks down into the scarab beetle and scurries away into the dark pyramid.
