Liliane, daughter of the archaeologist Bowell, feels stuck. So she embarks on a journey through the streets of early 20th-century London with Imhotep IV, the mummy of the Egyptian pharaoh pharaoh that her father preserved and brought back to life. After a fatal altercation with a policeman, they find themselves on the run, on trial, and in prison, before having to confront Imhotep's father (also a mummy!) so they can live their love freely.
