Based on Bram Stoker's tale, "Jewel of the Seven Stars," this is a typical Hammer film–but the director, Seth Holt, died shortly before completion of the film. An archeologist (Andrew Keir) searches for, and finds, the tomb of a wicked Egyptian queen. The sarcophagus is taken to London where it is noted that the queen is perfectly preserved. His daughter now appears to have inherited the wicked traits of the queen, and revenge for defiling the tomb begins. Remade as "The Awakening."
