An explorer plots to kill another explorer by sealing him in an Egyptian tomb. His love interest foils the plot by fighting and scratching the bad guy for a note written in the missing man's handwriting. A third explorer realizes the fink is up to no good when he notices the facial scratches but the would-be murderer denies having seen the girl. The third explorer follows the evildoer and overpowers him when he attempts to toss the subdued girl over a cliff and then they rescue the man trapped in the tomb, who it turns out, is still just barely alive.
