An archaeologist, Dr. Jordan, is discovered dead in a reconstructed tomb by his assistant, Jane Hogan. Hogan is accused of poisoning Dr. Jordan and convicted of murder. At the Daily Planet, Clark gets a phone call from Dr. Wilson from the Egyptian Museum saying he's found evidence that could clear Hogan. Clark goes to meet Dr. Wilson, after telling Lois he has a doctor's appointment. Suspicious, Lois follows. Wilson tells Clark that the King's tomb was cursed, and of a legend that royal gods guard the dead boy-king. Wilson shows Clark the reconstructed tomb, while Lois secretly follows. Clark discovers the sarcophagus where Dr. Jordan was found has a trap that springs a poisoned needle - this is what killed Jordan. Wilson has told Clark that Jordan had recreated the Fluid of Life and had injected the guard's mummies before dying. Kent's triggering of the needle trap, causes that guard's mummy to revive. That mummy sends a signal light that revives another guard. Clark hears Lois scream. A guard throws Clark into a sarcophagus. Then a guard captures Lois and Wilson. Just as they are about to be thrown into a flaming pit, Superman breaks from the coffin and rescues them. Then he defeats the guards. At the Daily Planet Clark types in the story, finally scooping Lois, because her arms are still bandaged from burns.
