Synopsis:
An archaeologist locates a magical formula used by an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. The formula is stolen by his assistant, Torbert. Torbert begins committing crimes using the formula which allows him to escape death.

The Challengers track Torbert who has returned to Egypt to renew the formula. The resting place of the pharaoh is disturbed and the pharaoh comes back to life. He battles the Challs while searching for something. Eventually the Challs find a locket containing the picture of his lost love, Lasandra. When the locket is returned the pharaoh returns to his tomb forever. The formula has also worn off of Torbert.
