Evil Dr. Barnack (Lawrence Ryle) is determined to get his hands on an ancient Egyptian sapphire that is encased in a sacred box--even though the sapphire carries a "curse" which renders anyone who tries to open the box in a permanent comatose state. Ultimately, reporter Lois Lane (Noel Neill) is stricken down by the curse, which turns out to be manifested in a poisoned needle. The one hope for Lois' recovery is a special medicinal herb that can only be found beneath the Great Pyramid of Egypt--and guess who is the only person capable of lifting the pyramid to find the herb?
