A young English painter Albert Wendland (Harry Liedtke) is on a student trip to Egypt. While strolling through the desert outside of Cairo, he comes upon a young woman drawing water at a well. When the young woman notices him, she runs away, and Albert chases after her, but she loses him among the sand dunes.
The next day Albert is on the terrace of the Palace Hotel, and he hears a Prince Hohenfels asking a guide to take him to visit the Burial Chamber of Queen Ma. The guide tells the prince, "All previous visits to Queen Ma have ended in disaster." The guide points out a visibly shaken man on the terrace who is being attended by a nurse. He had been a recent visitor to the burial chamber.
