Titanic follows three main story threads.
Isabella Paradine is traveling on the Titanic to join her husband after attending her aunt's funeral in England. On the Titanic, she meets Wynn Park, her former lover. She falls in love with him again, and after a brief affair, she sends her husband a wireless saying they cannot be together anymore (despite their daughter). When the ship starts sinking, Isabella reluctantly leaves Wynn when he forces her to board a lifeboat. As the boat is lowered, Isabella confesses a long kept secret that her daughter Claire is actually Wynn's. Later on board the RMS Carpathia she is grief-stricken when she finds Wynn's lifeless body on deck, have died of hypothermia, but luckily, when the Carpathia reaches New York she is reunited with her family who are blissfully unaware of Isabella's tryst because the telegram was never sent out due to the sinking.
Also in first class is the Allison family, a family travelling on the Titanic, returning home to Montreal with their two small children and new nurse, Alice Cleaver. They gradually become wary and suspicious of her hysterical and neurotic behavior. Later on, a fellow maid asks her if she'd seen her in Cairo the previous month, but soon realizes that she remembers her from the highly publicized trial where Alice was accused of throwing her baby off a train. When the Titanic starts sinking, Alice Cleaver panics and quickly boards a lifeboat with Trevor, the Allisons' infant son. The parents with their small daughter are unaware that the baby is safe and refuse to leave the ship without him, which in the end costs them their lives.
In third class, a young vagrant named Jamie Perse steals a ticket to get on board. He manages to become friends with one of the crewmen, Simon Doonan, who is also a robber, but later is revealed to be a much more violent and callous criminal than Jamie. The young man falls in love with Aase (pronounced "Osa") Ludvigsen, a recent Christian convert and missionary. On the night of the sinking, Aase is brutally raped and beaten by Doonan, causing her to lose her faith and will to live, but Jamie manages to get her into Isabella's boat. Unbeknownst to them, Doonan also sneaks aboard that same boat, disguised as an old woman. After the ship sinks, Aase is knocked off the lifeboat by Doonan after she recognizes him, and he attempts to hold the passengers in the boat hostage at gunpoint, but Officer Lowe, who is in charge of the boat, hits Doonan in the head with a paddle, snapping his neck and killing him. Jamie himself manages to survive when he accidentally falls into one of the last lifeboats before the Titanic sinks. He subsequently atones for his past life after he finds Aase in the makeshift hospital aboard the Carpathia. In the end, upon arriving in New York, the two plan to start a new life together.

Titanic follows three main story threads.
Isabella Paradine is traveling on the Titanic to join her husband after attending her aunt's funeral in England. On the Titanic, she meets Wynn Park, her former lover. She falls in love with him again, and after a brief affair, she sends her husband a wireless saying they cannot be together anymore (despite their daughter). When the ship starts sinking, Isabella reluctantly leaves Wynn when he forces her to board a lifeboat. As the boat is lowered, Isabella confesses a long kept secret that her daughter Claire is actually Wynn's. Later on board the RMS Carpathia she is grief-stricken when she finds Wynn's lifeless body on deck, have died of hypothermia, but luckily, when the Carpathia reaches New York she is reunited with her family who are blissfully unaware of Isabella's tryst because the telegram was never sent out due to the sinking.
Also in first class is the Allison family, a family travelling on the Titanic, returning home to Montreal with their two small children and new nurse, Alice Cleaver. They gradually become wary and suspicious of her hysterical and neurotic behavior. Later on, a fellow maid asks her if she'd seen her in Cairo the previous month, but soon realizes that she remembers her from the highly publicized trial where Alice was accused of throwing her baby off a train. When the Titanic starts sinking, Alice Cleaver panics and quickly boards a lifeboat with Trevor, the Allisons' infant son. The parents with their small daughter are unaware that the baby is safe and refuse to leave the ship without him, which in the end costs them their lives.
In third class, a young vagrant named Jamie Perse steals a ticket to get on board. He manages to become friends with one of the crewmen, Simon Doonan, who is also a robber, but later is revealed to be a much more violent and callous criminal than Jamie. The young man falls in love with Aase (pronounced "Osa") Ludvigsen, a recent Christian convert and missionary. On the night of the sinking, Aase is brutally raped and beaten by Doonan, causing her to lose her faith and will to live, but Jamie manages to get her into Isabella's boat. Unbeknownst to them, Doonan also sneaks aboard that same boat, disguised as an old woman. After the ship sinks, Aase is knocked off the lifeboat by Doonan after she recognizes him, and he attempts to hold the passengers in the boat hostage at gunpoint, but Officer Lowe, who is in charge of the boat, hits Doonan in the head with a paddle, snapping his neck and killing him. Jamie himself manages to survive when he accidentally falls into one of the last lifeboats before the Titanic sinks. He subsequently atones for his past life after he finds Aase in the makeshift hospital aboard the Carpathia. In the end, upon arriving in New York, the two plan to start a new life together.

She falls in love with him again, and after a brief affair, she sends her husband a wireless saying they cannot be together anymore (despite their daughter). When the ship starts sinking, Isabella reluctantly leaves Wynn when he forces her to board a lifeboat. As the boat is lowered, Isabella confesses a long kept secret that her daughter Claire is actually Wynn's. Later on board the RMS Carpathia she is grief-stricken when she finds Wynn's lifeless body on deck, have died of hypothermia, but luckily, when the Carpathia reaches New York she is reunited with her family who are blissfully unaware of Isabella's tryst because the telegram was never sent out due to the sinking.
Also in first class is the Allison family, a family travelling on the Titanic, returning home to Montreal with their two small children and new nurse, Alice Cleaver. They gradually become wary and suspicious of her hysterical and neurotic behavior. Later on, a fellow maid asks her if she'd seen her in Cairo the previous month, but soon realizes that she remembers her from the highly publicized trial where Alice was accused of throwing her baby off a train. When the Titanic starts sinking, Alice Cleaver panics and quickly boards a lifeboat with Trevor, the Allisons' infant son. The parents with their small daughter are unaware that the baby is safe and refuse to leave the ship without him, which in the end costs them their lives.
In third class, a young vagrant named Jamie Perse steals a ticket to get on board. He manages to become friends with one of the crewmen, Simon Doonan, who is also a robber, but later is revealed to be a much more violent and callous criminal than Jamie. The young man falls in love with Aase (pronounced "Osa") Ludvigsen, a recent Christian convert and missionary. On the night of the sinking, Aase is brutally raped and beaten by Doonan, causing her to lose her faith and will to live, but Jamie manages to get her into Isabella's boat. Unbeknownst to them, Doonan also sneaks aboard that same boat, disguised as an old woman. After the ship sinks, Aase is knocked off the lifeboat by Doonan after she recognizes him, and he attempts to hold the passengers in the boat hostage at gunpoint, but Officer Lowe, who is in charge of the boat, hits Doonan in the head with a paddle, snapping his neck and killing him. Jamie himself manages to survive when he accidentally falls into one of the last lifeboats before the Titanic sinks. He subsequently atones for his past life after he finds Aase in the makeshift hospital aboard the Carpathia. In the end, upon arriving in New York, the two plan to start a new life together.

On the morning after his re-election, US President Joseph Staton (Dennis Quaid) decides to read the newspaper for the first time in four years. This starts him down a slippery slope. He begins reading obsessively, reexamining his "black-and-white" view of the world in a more "gray-seeming" way, and holing up in his bedroom in his pajamas. Frightened by the President's apparent nervous breakdown, his Chief of Staff (Willem Dafoe) pushes him back into the spotlight, booking him as a guest judge on the television ratings juggernaut (and the President's personal favorite), the weekly talent show American Dreamz, a show similar in format to the modern-day American Idol. America cannot seem to get enough of American Dreamz, hosted by self-aggrandizing, self-loathing Martin Tweed (Hugh Grant), ever on the lookout for the next insta-celebrity. His latest crop of hopefuls includes Sally Kendoo (Mandy Moore), a conniving steel magnolia with a devoted, dopey veteran boyfriend William Williams (Chris Klein), and Omer Obeidi (Sam Golzari).
Because Omer's mother died in the Middle East in an American attack, he joined a group of jihadists. He was an actor in an instruction film for terrorists, but he was too clumsy, and his interest in show tunes was frowned upon. Therefore, he was sent to the U.S. to await further instructions, but the leaders expected they could not use him. He moved to Southern California to live with his extended family there, including his effeminate cousin Iqbal (Tony Yalda) and Shazzy (Noureen DeWulf). Iqbal hoped to be selected to participate in American Dreamz, but in a misunderstanding, Omer was selected instead. Iqbal becomes angered by this at first but later agrees to help Omer win and makes himself his manager.
Omer's terrorist organization now sees an opportunity: Omer is instructed to make it to the finale, and kill the President in a suicide attack. He succeeds in getting to the finale. Security is bypassed by assembling the bomb after the security check, in the toilet, from small parts smuggled in (the smaller pieces of explosive are disguised as chewing gum). Omer agrees, but changes his mind and disposes of the bomb in the trash can.
Sally is the other finalist. Earlier in the film, she had dumped William because she believed that her life would've gone nowhere if she still had him for a boyfriend and that he'd only drag her down. This drove William to join the army, only to be wounded in Iraq and sent back to the U.S. For the purpose of the show and at the insistence of her agent, Chet Krogl (Seth Meyers), Sally has to pretend that she still loves William. On the eve of the American Dreamz finale, William proposes to Sally, which she rejects until Chet decides to boost Sally's popularity and chances of winning the show by asking William to do the proposal on air. However, William witnesses Sally having sex with Martin, and is furious. When he throws out the engagement ring, he finds the bomb Omer tossed in the trash can. He then comes out on stage and threatens to detonate it. While the other people evacuate, William starts singing and Martin, who refuses to let go of the camera, films it. As William reaches the end of the song, he detonates the bomb by walking into the camera, killing both himself and Martin. The film then cuts to shots of people dialing up their cell phones to vote in for the winner. It is eventually revealed that William Williams was voted the surprise winner of American Dreamz.
The epilogue reveals what each of the characters went on to do after the end of last season. Omer went on to become a successful star of his own Broadway revue, where he is shown performing a scene from the musical Grease. The President makes his wife his new Chief of Staff. And Sally Kendoo becomes the new host of American Dreamz.

Captain Zhao Wu Yi is the leader of the Brocade Guards, the government's secret police. The sergeant of the force is Zhao's elder son, Zhao Bu Fa. Zhao also has a younger son in the force, Zhao Bu Qun, whom he executes after he questions him about whether or not he would kill his father if he committed a crime, which he answers "No".
The force works under a childish, womanizing Emperor who is irresponsible to his duties. The blood thirsty Eunuch Wang Zhen usually bribes the Emperor with woman and the Emperor gives his powers to the eunuch. Zhao Bu Fa has never been fond of the eunch. Eunuch Wang then orders The Brocade Guards to kill two righteous guards Yu Hua Long and Li Yi. Zhao refuses to kill them and resigns from the force. The furious eunuch then orders Zhao Wu Yi to kill his son; he sends his men to kill him but his troupe are no match for Zhao. And so, Zhao survives every time.
Zhao then goes into hiding with his wife Xue Liang and son Ding Dong in his ancestral village. His whole clan are there and his uncle Zhao Wu Ji is their leader. Things work out fine, until a message is sent to the village ordering the clan to Kill Zhao Bu Fa or they will be executed. They decide to kill Zhao, where Zhao and his uncle engage in a duel and he kills his own uncle. Zhao's sister Wu Xiao Nan, who did not want to kill Zhao later gives Zhao a poisoned cup of tea; they engage in a fight where Zhao kills Wu, and he and his family escape.
They meet up with Zhao's brother, who reveals that his execution was fake, it was just to show the Brocade Guards what would happen to them if they disobey an order. Bu Qun then treats his brother's poison and later disguises himself as his brother. He ends up sacrificing himself for his brother and family to live a peaceful life. Xue Liang repays his kindness by killing herself. The Jinyi troupe brings Bu Qun's head to show Wu Yi, who is saddened and says that he does not actually want his son to die. Eunuch Wang tries to completely take over the Emperor's throne. Zhao Bu Fa calls for a duel with Wang. They engage in a duel in the mountains and Zhao chops off Wang's left arm, later killing him by chopping him in half. After the duel, Zhao informs his father that he has killed Eunuch Wang.

The Virgin Spring tells the story, set in the late medieval Sweden, of a prosperous Christian whose daughter, Karin (Birgitta Pettersson), is appointed to take candles to the church. Karin is accompanied by her pregnant servant Ingeri (Gunnel Lindblom), who secretly worships the Norse deity Odin. Along their way through the forest on horseback, Ingeri becomes frightened when they come to a stream-side mill and the two part and Karin sets out on her own.
Ingeri encounters a one-eyed man at the stream-side mill. When Ingeri asks about his name he enigmatically responds he has none "in these days". The man tells Ingeri that he can see and hear things others can not. When the man makes sexual advances towards her and promises her power, Ingeri flees in terror. Meanwhile, Karin meets three herdsmen (two men and a boy) and invites them to eat her lunch with her. Eventually, the two older men rape and murder Karin while Ingeri watches, hidden, from a distance. The two older men then leave the scene with Karin's clothing. The younger (a boy) is left with the body and to watch the goats, but he takes the situation poorly and quickly becomes sick with guilt.
The herders then, unknowingly, seek shelter at the home of the murdered girl. Her parents, played by Max von Sydow and Birgitta Valberg, discover that the goat herders murdered their daughter when the goat herders offer to sell Karin's clothes to her mother. After they fall asleep, the mother locks the trio in the chamber. Ingeri returns to the farm and breaks down in front of the father; she tells him about the rape and confesses that she secretly wished for Karin's death out of jealousy.

The Virgin Spring tells the story, set in the late medieval Sweden, of a prosperous Christian whose daughter, Karin (Birgitta Pettersson), is appointed to take candles to the church. Karin is accompanied by her pregnant servant Ingeri (Gunnel Lindblom), who secretly worships the Norse deity Odin. Along their way through the forest on horseback, Ingeri becomes frightened when they come to a stream-side mill and the two part and Karin sets out on her own.
Ingeri encounters a one-eyed man at the stream-side mill. When Ingeri asks about his name he enigmatically responds he has none "in these days". The man tells Ingeri that he can see and hear things others can not. When the man makes sexual advances towards her and promises her power, Ingeri flees in terror. Meanwhile, Karin meets three herdsmen (two men and a boy) and invites them to eat her lunch with her. Eventually, the two older men rape and murder Karin while Ingeri watches, hidden, from a distance. The two older men then leave the scene with Karin's clothing. The younger (a boy) is left with the body and to watch the goats, but he takes the situation poorly and quickly becomes sick with guilt.
The herders then, unknowingly, seek shelter at the home of the murdered girl. Her parents, played by Max von Sydow and Birgitta Valberg, discover that the goat herders murdered their daughter when the goat herders offer to sell Karin's clothes to her mother. After they fall asleep, the mother locks the trio in the chamber. Ingeri returns to the farm and breaks down in front of the father; she tells him about the rape and confesses that she secretly wished for Karin's death out of jealousy. She does not mention her encounter with the one-eyed man. In a rage, the father stabs one of the herders to death with a strange dagger before killing the other two with his bare hands.

Ebenezer Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson), the Victorian proprietor of a "moustache shop", is the nicest man in England.[1] He is everything that Ebenezer Scrooge was by the end of the original story: generous and kind to everybody, and sensitive to the misery of others. As a result, people take advantage of his kindnessâMrs.Scratchit and an orphan take all his money, and Beadle takes his food. All but Mr. Baldrick (Tony Robinson) view him as a victim. His business turns no profit, all his earnings going to charity and to con artists, and he lives a lonely, miserable life.
One Christmas Eve, Blackadder's destiny changes when the Spirit of Christmas (Robbie Coltrane) visits him to congratulate him for his ways. The spirit lets him see shades of the past: his ancestors Lord Blackadder and Mr. E. Blackadder, Esq. Instead of being convinced that he is better than them, he grows to admire them and their wit. He asks the spirit to show him what could happen if he became like them. He sees a vision of a distant future where his distant descendant Grand Admiral Blackadder is a successful and ruthless official of a Galactic empire (with Baldrick as his semi-naked slave) who is about to marry the similarly ruthless and insanely ambitious Queen Asphyxia XIX (Miranda Richardson) after murdering her "triple husbandoid". Blackadder asks the Spirit what will happen if he stays as he is. He is shown an alternative future in which his descendant is the semi-naked slave of the incompetent Admiral Baldrick.
Blackadder proclaims, "Bad guys have all the fun." He wakes up a different man: bitter, vengeful, greedy, and insulting to everyone he meets. Now in control of his life, he misses an opportunity when he insults two strangers: Queen Victoria (Miriam Margolyes) and Albert, Prince Consort (Jim Broadbent), who were about to award him £50,000 and the title of Baron Blackadder for being the nicest man in England. They leave without doing so after being ridiculed by Blackadder. The episode ends when Blackadder's extravagant Christmas dinner with Baldrick is ruined when Baldrick informs him of the identities of the strangers and shows him the royal seal.

Ebenezer Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson), the Victorian proprietor of a "moustache shop", is the nicest man in England.[1] He is everything that Ebenezer Scrooge was by the end of the original story: generous and kind to everybody, and sensitive to the misery of others. As a result, people take advantage of his kindnessâMrs.Scratchit and an orphan take all his money, and Beadle takes his food. All but Mr. Baldrick (Tony Robinson) view him as a victim. His business turns no profit, all his earnings going to charity and to con artists, and he lives a lonely, miserable life.
One Christmas Eve, Blackadder's destiny changes when the Spirit of Christmas (Robbie Coltrane) visits him to congratulate him for his ways. The spirit lets him see shades of the past: his ancestors Lord Blackadder and Mr. E. Blackadder, Esq. Instead of being convinced that he is better than them, he grows to admire them and their wit. He asks the spirit to show him what could happen if he became like them. He sees a vision of a distant future where his distant descendant Grand Admiral Blackadder is a successful and ruthless official of a Galactic empire (with Baldrick as his semi-naked slave) who is about to marry the similarly ruthless and insanely ambitious Queen Asphyxia XIX (Miranda Richardson) after murdering her "triple husbandoid". Blackadder asks the Spirit what will happen if he stays as he is. He is shown an alternative future in which his descendant is the semi-naked slave of the incompetent Admiral Baldrick.
Blackadder proclaims, "Bad guys have all the fun." He wakes up a different man: bitter, vengeful, greedy, and insulting to everyone he meets. Now in control of his life, he misses an opportunity when he insults two strangers: Queen Victoria (Miriam Margolyes) and Albert, Prince Consort (Jim Broadbent), who were about to award him £50,000 and the title of Baron Blackadder for being the nicest man in England. They leave without doing so after being ridiculed by Blackadder. The episode ends when Blackadder's extravagant Christmas dinner with Baldrick is ruined when Baldrick informs him of the identities of the strangers and shows him the royal seal.

We open with a zoom in from outside our galaxy, the planet Saturn, a view of the earthrise over the surface of the moon, and the earth zooming in on Egypt. Credits roll with the pyramids in the background. A modern archeological team is working when an earthquake rattles their site. When the lights come back on we see King Tut's tomb and a section of wall collapsed. Holding a flashlight is Prof. Douglas McCadden (Ben Murphy). His assistant, Abdellah (Behrouz Vossoughi) is at his side; inside the chamber is another tomb, surrounded by skeletonized remains.A Boeing 727 lands at an airport in Southern California. We see a panning shot of the California Institute of the Sciences (the campus of CSU, Northridge). McCadden is supervising the removal of the sarcophagus of Ankh Venharis from a truck. Annoying the professor is the campus photographer, Linda Flores (Shari Belafonte-Harper). After the tomb is set up in the lab/classroom, his student aid, Susie Fuller (Nina Axelrod) assists with removal of the seals. They remove the outer lid revealing a decorative inner lid. They read the cartouche--Ankh Venharis, translated as "a noble traveler." Michael Goldstein (Gary Dubin) asks why they would bury a foreign dignitary with King Tut. They start to remove the inner lid when they are interrupted by Peter Sharpe (Kevin Brophy) and his assistant wheeling in an X-Ray machine. They carefully remove the inner lid revealing the mummified remains of a humanoid body covered with wrappings that are covered with a green powdery substance. McCadden tells Michael to get a sample, but in doing so he gets a little on his wrist, despite wearing protective gloves. Susie hands McCadden a jar; he places the scroll of dedication into same and seals the jar. Class is dismissed. Sharpe derisively dismisses Jack Parker (Robert Random), but McCadden overrules him, explaining he is the chief engineer and he wants him present. Sharpe X-Rays the mummy, but after the third shot, Parker notices the setting on the machine and immediately pulls the plug. Sharpe was using ten times the normal dose. Exasperated, McCadden dismisses Sharpe and tells him to deliver the developed X-Rays to his office. Sharpe develops the X-Rays, but while checking them he notices five spherical objects on the film. McCadden and Susie are cleaning the scroll. Sharpe returns to the lab and aligning the X-Rays to the sarcophagus finds a hidden compartment. He opens it and retrieves a leather pouch containing five crystals. He pockets them, examines the rest of the drawer's contents, and satisfied the rest is worthless, closes it back up. He X-Rays the mummy so he can substitute the new film for the old. He packages the films and delivers them to McCadden's office. He stashes the incriminating X-Ray in a transformer room, but can't retrieve it.The high dose of X-Ray radiation reactivates the mummy. McCadden talks to a colleague on the phone about the green substance; he suspects it is a dormant mold. He asks Susie to run the sample over to Dr. Ken Melrose in Pathology. The arms of the mummy move revealing a bright blue light in his chest. The mummy sits up. Susie jostles McCadden awake. He fell asleep at his desk and it is now morning. Examining the X-Rays, McCadden concludes, "this mummy wasn't prepared in the standard manner." In the lab, Susie and McCadden discover the hidden compartment and pull it open. Instead of a green powder, they find a green and yellow wet-paint like substance. As Susie reaches out, McCadden tells her not to touch it, but go tell Melrose that the mold has changed.Sharpe stops by Drucker's Jewelers to have the crystals appraised. The Jeweler (Alan Rachins) informs him, "they are worthless." Ken Melrose (Austin Stoker) pays a visit to the lab and takes a sample from the hidden drawer. He informs McCadden that it is the same fungus, but no longer dormant. He advises no one go near it. The press has been invited to the lab where the sarcophagus is displayed. As they take their seats, McCadden talks to the University President about cancelling the press conference. Michael is guarding the sarcophagus when he notices a splotch of the active green fungus and touches it. He screams and holds his hand up in pain. His index finger is partially covered with the mold. McCadden orders Susie to take him to the campus Hospital Emergency Room and to call Melrose. Amid the commotion, the campus President, Dr. Wendell J. Rossmore (James Karen) walks in. He is flanked by his assistant, Dr. Bruce Serrano (Sam Chew, Jr.) and campus police Captain Willoughby (Clint Young). In his lab, Melrose begins his examination of the fungus. Rossmore takes over the presentation to the press, but he has McCadden unveil the mummy. When his students remove the inner lid the sarcophagus is empty.In the President's office, Peter Sharpe is questioned about his possible involvement in stealing the mummy. Parker is also present. Rossmore demands the mummy be found and directs the campus police to find it. McCadden suggests the local police be notified, but Rossmore insists the recovery be handled internally and directs Willoughby to search the campus. The mummy has chosen the reactor room to hide and work. A janitor (Hugh Stanger) comes into clean, discovers it and is killed. McCadden and Melrose are in the Pathology lab. Melrose explains that the fungus is like nothing he's ever seen. The phone rings and they leave. Dr. Hayworth (Antoinette Bower) is treating Michael Goldstein, and explains that the fungus breaks down tissues and doubles its size every 65 minutes. They enter Michael's hospital room. He has his right hand in a tray. Dr. Hayworth removes the cloth to reveal the fungus has covered it and half of his forearm. Dr. Hayworth recommends amputation before it goes any further.Sharpe is peeping at Parker's girlfriend, Jennie (Melissa Prophet) through the window. She is putting on her bra when his girlfriend, Sherri (Greta Blackburn) catches him. Jennie and Sherri are roommates and share a house together. As a peace offering he gives Sherri one of the crystals on a gold necklace. Capt. Willoughby, while on rounds, discovers the Electrical Supply Room has been burglarized. The room is a shambles. He uses the telephone to report the break in to Dr. Serrano, President Rossmore's assistant.McCadden walks over to KCIS, the campus radio station, and meets with Linda Flores. She is the evening DJ in addition to her duties as campus photographer. He broadcasts a message to the Fraternity houses demanding the return of the mummy. He warns them of the danger of the fungus on the wrappings. In need of more cash to take his girlfriend out to dinner, Sharpe sells a crystal to Greg Hauser (Gerard Prendergast). Now flush with cash, he and Sherri go to dinner at a very expensive restaurant. While dining, a couple of fraternity brothers see them and accost Sharpe over some unpaid loan. Stanley (Warrington Gillette) and Bill Vogler (John Lavachielli) take his $50, but he works a deal for a couple more crystals. While dining Sherri notices the crystal getting warm and lighting up and pulsating. After he gets off work, Greg Hauser stops by to see his girlfriend, Ellen Winters (Greta Stapf). She is babysitting. He puts his coat over the baby's crib and the crystal necklace he intends to give her as a present falls out. They walk down the hallway to the bedroom to make out. The mummy is on the prowl to recover his stolen crystals. He enters the house. Greg puts the present around her neck. The baby begins to cry and Ellen goes in to check on him. The mummy reaches out, takes the crystal, and she screams and falls back against the wall with a baseball sized burn on her chest. In the hospital, Dr. Hayworth introduces Lt. Plummer (Darwin Jostin) to Drs. Melrose and McCadden. Plummer tries to question Greg Hauser about the circumstances surrounding Ellen's accident and burn. He's in shock and only says one word, "Mummy." The mummy places the first of five recovered crystals on the triangular transmitter/receiver. When he does so electrical appliances in the vacinity begin to malfunction.McCadden has translated the scroll he found with mummified remains of Ankh Venharis. It reads, "because of his unusual appearance, the Egyptians assumed him to be a god...King Tut reached out to touch the weary traveler and was sorely burned with a disease that consumed his flesh." Melrose returns to his lab to do an experiment on the fungus; he discovers X-Rays activate it. He concludes that an X-Ray to check for broken bones on Ellen will do the same to her. He calls to have the X-Ray cancelled, but his call his too late. The X-Ray causes the fungus to spread to her neck and head and kills her. Stanley runs into Susie on the campus. He's interested in her, but she does not reciprocate. He gives her a bracelet with a crystal.It's now Saturday and a Fraternity party with an ancient Egyptian theme is starting. The mummy is back on the prowl (or glide) for another crystal. Bill Vogler is looking for his would be girlfriend, Sarah (Michelle Avonne). She stands him up and he throws the crystal necklace on the ground in disgust. He has second thoughts, and retrieves it only to have the mummy pull it from him. He gives Bill a back hand that knocks him into a wall with tremendous force killing him instantly. The mummy adds the second crystal to his transmitter, which causes a wider spread electrical interference. Jack Parker, who stopped by to see his girlfriend, Jennie, excuses himself to check on the power outage. He discovers a power drain in the campus reactor building, investigates, but is satisfied there is no danger. As he exits he bumps into Dr. Serrano and Capt. Willoughby. The fraternity party moves outside. While Jack Parker walks back to see Jennie, he discovers the body of Bill Vogler just as the party walks by. Lt. Plummer arrives and questions McCadden, then questions Rossmore. After the police leave, Serrano tells Rossmore he believes McCadden stole his own mummy and is waiting to return it to be a hero.The next morning, McCadden and Susie discover the bracelet crystal has something inside. It looks like an electrical diagram. The same pattern was on a piece of material they found with the scroll in the sarcophagus. They ask Jack Parker to examine the crystal and the diagram and he agrees they do look like a wiring schematic. McCadden sends Susie to the Library to do some research. When she arrives, the floor is empty. The mummy is outside. He's attracted to the crystal Susie is wearing on her wrist. He follows her inside and chases her around various floors. She escapes into an elevator and manages to get outside on the roof. She notices it glowing and pulsating. She tries to remove it, but is unsuccessful. The mummy reaches out for the crystal while she is trying to descend a ladder. He gets the crystal, but she falls off the ledge of the library building and is seriously hurt. Fortunately he did not touch her while retrieving the crystal. When she wakes in the hospital, Lt. Plummer is there to question her. She states that the mummy is alive and responsible for the deaths on campus, but he does not believe her. The mummy now has three of the five crystals he needs. He steals a transformer from the Archaeology Building to complete his project. McCadden and Parker find mummy wrappings where the transformer was, and the X-Ray films that Sharpe hid. They confront Sharpe with the evidence. He initially denies any knowledge, then comes clean and tells his story. He still has one crystal left, but admits the remaining one he gave to Sherri. Parker realizes that his girlfriend, Jennie is Sherri's roommate and she is in danger. McCadden now has the fifth crystal. Sharpe tells Parker his girlfriend left it home in the bathroom. Parker rushes over to the house, as does the mummy. McCadden heads for the Reactor Building. The mummy retrieves his fourth crystal, but does not injure Jennie. McCadden notices the mummy's improvised transmitter and adds his crystal to the mechanism. Just then Rossmore, Serrano, and Capt. Willoughby walk in. The mummy arrives at the Reactor Building with crystal number four. He moves McCadden's crystal to the correct location and adds the fifth. The system fires up and the mummy transforms into an alien with large black eyes, and a small nose and mouth. Serrano orders Willoughby to shoot it, but McCadden steps in front of the alien to protect it and is hit by the bullet for his trouble. He is hit in the arm and collapses at the alien's feet. It is now glowing and reaches out with his hand to touch McCadden's hand. They grasp each other's hand and the two disappear, leaving only the glowing crystal that was in the mummy's chest. Serrano races over to retrieve the glowing crystal. He screams and holds up his charred hand. It is burned like all the others that were touched by the fungus or the mummy.

We open with a zoom in from outside our galaxy, the planet Saturn, a view of the earthrise over the surface of the moon, and the earth zooming in on Egypt. Credits roll with the pyramids in the background. A modern archeological team is working when an earthquake rattles their site. When the lights come back on we see King Tut's tomb and a section of wall collapsed. Holding a flashlight is Prof. Douglas McCadden (Ben Murphy). His assistant, Abdellah (Behrouz Vossoughi) is at his side; inside the chamber is another tomb, surrounded by skeletonized remains.A Boeing 727 lands at an airport in Southern California. We see a panning shot of the California Institute of the Sciences (the campus of CSU, Northridge). McCadden is supervising the removal of the sarcophagus of Ankh Venharis from a truck. Annoying the professor is the campus photographer, Linda Flores (Shari Belafonte-Harper). After the tomb is set up in the lab/classroom, his student aid, Susie Fuller (Nina Axelrod) assists with removal of the seals. They remove the outer lid revealing a decorative inner lid. They read the cartouche--Ankh Venharis, translated as "a noble traveler." Michael Goldstein (Gary Dubin) asks why they would bury a foreign dignitary with King Tut. They start to remove the inner lid when they are interrupted by Peter Sharpe (Kevin Brophy) and his assistant wheeling in an X-Ray machine. They carefully remove the inner lid revealing the mummified remains of a humanoid body covered with wrappings that are covered with a green powdery substance. McCadden tells Michael to get a sample, but in doing so he gets a little on his wrist, despite wearing protective gloves. Susie hands McCadden a jar; he places the scroll of dedication into same and seals the jar. Class is dismissed. Sharpe derisively dismisses Jack Parker (Robert Random), but McCadden overrules him, explaining he is the chief engineer and he wants him present. Sharpe X-Rays the mummy, but after the third shot, Parker notices the setting on the machine and immediately pulls the plug. Sharpe was using ten times the normal dose. Exasperated, McCadden dismisses Sharpe and tells him to deliver the developed X-Rays to his office. Sharpe develops the X-Rays, but while checking them he notices five spherical objects on the film. McCadden and Susie are cleaning the scroll. Sharpe returns to the lab and aligning the X-Rays to the sarcophagus finds a hidden compartment. He opens it and retrieves a leather pouch containing five crystals. He pockets them, examines the rest of the drawer's contents, and satisfied the rest is worthless, closes it back up. He X-Rays the mummy so he can substitute the new film for the old. He packages the films and delivers them to McCadden's office. He stashes the incriminating X-Ray in a transformer room, but can't retrieve it.The high dose of X-Ray radiation reactivates the mummy. McCadden talks to a colleague on the phone about the green substance; he suspects it is a dormant mold. He asks Susie to run the sample over to Dr. Ken Melrose in Pathology. The arms of the mummy move revealing a bright blue light in his chest. The mummy sits up. Susie jostles McCadden awake. He fell asleep at his desk and it is now morning. Examining the X-Rays, McCadden concludes, "this mummy wasn't prepared in the standard manner." In the lab, Susie and McCadden discover the hidden compartment and pull it open. Instead of a green powder, they find a green and yellow wet-paint like substance. As Susie reaches out, McCadden tells her not to touch it, but go tell Melrose that the mold has changed.Sharpe stops by Drucker's Jewelers to have the crystals appraised. The Jeweler (Alan Rachins) informs him, "they are worthless." Ken Melrose (Austin Stoker) pays a visit to the lab and takes a sample from the hidden drawer. He informs McCadden that it is the same fungus, but no longer dormant. He advises no one go near it. The press has been invited to the lab where the sarcophagus is displayed. As they take their seats, McCadden talks to the University President about cancelling the press conference. Michael is guarding the sarcophagus when he notices a splotch of the active green fungus and touches it. He screams and holds his hand up in pain. His index finger is partially covered with the mold. McCadden orders Susie to take him to the campus Hospital Emergency Room and to call Melrose. Amid the commotion, the campus President, Dr. Wendell J. Rossmore (James Karen) walks in. He is flanked by his assistant, Dr. Bruce Serrano (Sam Chew, Jr.) and campus police Captain Willoughby (Clint Young). In his lab, Melrose begins his examination of the fungus. Rossmore takes over the presentation to the press, but he has McCadden unveil the mummy. When his students remove the inner lid the sarcophagus is empty.In the President's office, Peter Sharpe is questioned about his possible involvement in stealing the mummy. Parker is also present. Rossmore demands the mummy be found and directs the campus police to find it. McCadden suggests the local police be notified, but Rossmore insists the recovery be handled internally and directs Willoughby to search the campus. The mummy has chosen the reactor room to hide and work. A janitor (Hugh Stanger) comes into clean, discovers it and is killed. McCadden and Melrose are in the Pathology lab. Melrose explains that the fungus is like nothing he's ever seen. The phone rings and they leave. Dr. Hayworth (Antoinette Bower) is treating Michael Goldstein, and explains that the fungus breaks down tissues and doubles its size every 65 minutes. They enter Michael's hospital room. He has his right hand in a tray. Dr. Hayworth removes the cloth to reveal the fungus has covered it and half of his forearm. Dr. Hayworth recommends amputation before it goes any further.Sharpe is peeping at Parker's girlfriend, Jennie (Melissa Prophet) through the window. She is putting on her bra when his girlfriend, Sherri (Greta Blackburn) catches him. Jennie and Sherri are roommates and share a house together. As a peace offering he gives Sherri one of the crystals on a gold necklace. Capt. Willoughby, while on rounds, discovers the Electrical Supply Room has been burglarized. The room is a shambles. He uses the telephone to report the break in to Dr. Serrano, President Rossmore's assistant.McCadden walks over to KCIS, the campus radio station, and meets with Linda Flores. She is the evening DJ in addition to her duties as campus photographer. He broadcasts a message to the Fraternity houses demanding the return of the mummy. He warns them of the danger of the fungus on the wrappings. In need of more cash to take his girlfriend out to dinner, Sharpe sells a crystal to Greg Hauser (Gerard Prendergast). Now flush with cash, he and Sherri go to dinner at a very expensive restaurant. While dining, a couple of fraternity brothers see them and accost Sharpe over some unpaid loan. Stanley (Warrington Gillette) and Bill Vogler (John Lavachielli) take his $50, but he works a deal for a couple more crystals. While dining Sherri notices the crystal getting warm and lighting up and pulsating. After he gets off work, Greg Hauser stops by to see his girlfriend, Ellen Winters (Greta Stapf). She is babysitting. He puts his coat over the baby's crib and the crystal necklace he intends to give her as a present falls out. They walk down the hallway to the bedroom to make out. The mummy is on the prowl to recover his stolen crystals. He enters the house. Greg puts the present around her neck. The baby begins to cry and Ellen goes in to check on him. The mummy reaches out, takes the crystal, and she screams and falls back against the wall with a baseball sized burn on her chest. In the hospital, Dr. Hayworth introduces Lt. Plummer (Darwin Jostin) to Drs. Melrose and McCadden. Plummer tries to question Greg Hauser about the circumstances surrounding Ellen's accident and burn. He's in shock and only says one word, "Mummy." The mummy places the first of five recovered crystals on the triangular transmitter/receiver. When he does so electrical appliances in the vacinity begin to malfunction.McCadden has translated the scroll he found with mummified remains of Ankh Venharis. It reads, "because of his unusual appearance, the Egyptians assumed him to be a god...King Tut reached out to touch the weary traveler and was sorely burned with a disease that consumed his flesh." Melrose returns to his lab to do an experiment on the fungus; he discovers X-Rays activate it. He concludes that an X-Ray to check for broken bones on Ellen will do the same to her. He calls to have the X-Ray cancelled, but his call his too late. The X-Ray causes the fungus to spread to her neck and head and kills her. Stanley runs into Susie on the campus. He's interested in her, but she does not reciprocate. He gives her a bracelet with a crystal.It's now Saturday and a Fraternity party with an ancient Egyptian theme is starting. The mummy is back on the prowl (or glide) for another crystal. Bill Vogler is looking for his would be girlfriend, Sarah (Michelle Avonne). She stands him up and he throws the crystal necklace on the ground in disgust. He has second thoughts, and retrieves it only to have the mummy pull it from him. He gives Bill a back hand that knocks him into a wall with tremendous force killing him instantly. The mummy adds the second crystal to his transmitter, which causes a wider spread electrical interference. Jack Parker, who stopped by to see his girlfriend, Jennie, excuses himself to check on the power outage. He discovers a power drain in the campus reactor building, investigates, but is satisfied there is no danger. As he exits he bumps into Dr. Serrano and Capt. Willoughby. The fraternity party moves outside. While Jack Parker walks back to see Jennie, he discovers the body of Bill Vogler just as the party walks by. Lt. Plummer arrives and questions McCadden, then questions Rossmore. After the police leave, Serrano tells Rossmore he believes McCadden stole his own mummy and is waiting to return it to be a hero.The next morning, McCadden and Susie discover the bracelet crystal has something inside. It looks like an electrical diagram. The same pattern was on a piece of material they found with the scroll in the sarcophagus. They ask Jack Parker to examine the crystal and the diagram and he agrees they do look like a wiring schematic. McCadden sends Susie to the Library to do some research. When she arrives, the floor is empty. The mummy is outside. He's attracted to the crystal Susie is wearing on her wrist. He follows her inside and chases her around various floors. She escapes into an elevator and manages to get outside on the roof. She notices it glowing and pulsating. She tries to remove it, but is unsuccessful. The mummy reaches out for the crystal while she is trying to descend a ladder. He gets the crystal, but she falls off the ledge of the library building and is seriously hurt. Fortunately he did not touch her while retrieving the crystal. When she wakes in the hospital, Lt. Plummer is there to question her. She states that the mummy is alive and responsible for the deaths on campus, but he does not believe her. The mummy now has three of the five crystals he needs. He steals a transformer from the Archaeology Building to complete his project. McCadden and Parker find mummy wrappings where the transformer was, and the X-Ray films that Sharpe hid.

She is the evening DJ in addition to her duties as campus photographer. He broadcasts a message to the Fraternity houses demanding the return of the mummy. He warns them of the danger of the fungus on the wrappings. In need of more cash to take his girlfriend out to dinner, Sharpe sells a crystal to Greg Hauser (Gerard Prendergast). Now flush with cash, he and Sherri go to dinner at a very expensive restaurant. While dining, a couple of fraternity brothers see them and accost Sharpe over some unpaid loan. Stanley (Warrington Gillette) and Bill Vogler (John Lavachielli) take his $50, but he works a deal for a couple more crystals. While dining Sherri notices the crystal getting warm and lighting up and pulsating. After he gets off work, Greg Hauser stops by to see his girlfriend, Ellen Winters (Greta Stapf). She is babysitting. He puts his coat over the baby's crib and the crystal necklace he intends to give her as a present falls out. They walk down the hallway to the bedroom to make out. The mummy is on the prowl to recover his stolen crystals. He enters the house. Greg puts the present around her neck. The baby begins to cry and Ellen goes in to check on him. The mummy reaches out, takes the crystal, and she screams and falls back against the wall with a baseball sized burn on her chest. In the hospital, Dr. Hayworth introduces Lt. Plummer (Darwin Jostin) to Drs. Melrose and McCadden. Plummer tries to question Greg Hauser about the circumstances surrounding Ellen's accident and burn. He's in shock and only says one word, "Mummy." The mummy places the first of five recovered crystals on the triangular transmitter/receiver. When he does so electrical appliances in the vacinity begin to malfunction.McCadden has translated the scroll he found with mummified remains of Ankh Venharis. It reads, "because of his unusual appearance, the Egyptians assumed him to be a god...King Tut reached out to touch the weary traveler and was sorely burned with a disease that consumed his flesh." Melrose returns to his lab to do an experiment on the fungus; he discovers X-Rays activate it. He concludes that an X-Ray to check for broken bones on Ellen will do the same to her. He calls to have the X-Ray cancelled, but his call his too late. The X-Ray causes the fungus to spread to her neck and head and kills her. Stanley runs into Susie on the campus. He's interested in her, but she does not reciprocate. He gives her a bracelet with a crystal.It's now Saturday and a Fraternity party with an ancient Egyptian theme is starting. The mummy is back on the prowl (or glide) for another crystal. Bill Vogler is looking for his would be girlfriend, Sarah (Michelle Avonne). She stands him up and he throws the crystal necklace on the ground in disgust. He has second thoughts, and retrieves it only to have the mummy pull it from him. He gives Bill a back hand that knocks him into a wall with tremendous force killing him instantly. The mummy adds the second crystal to his transmitter, which causes a wider spread electrical interference. Jack Parker, who stopped by to see his girlfriend, Jennie, excuses himself to check on the power outage. He discovers a power drain in the campus reactor building, investigates, but is satisfied there is no danger. As he exits he bumps into Dr. Serrano and Capt. Willoughby. The fraternity party moves outside. While Jack Parker walks back to see Jennie, he discovers the body of Bill Vogler just as the party walks by. Lt. Plummer arrives and questions McCadden, then questions Rossmore. After the police leave, Serrano tells Rossmore he believes McCadden stole his own mummy and is waiting to return it to be a hero.The next morning, McCadden and Susie discover the bracelet crystal has something inside. It looks like an electrical diagram. The same pattern was on a piece of material they found with the scroll in the sarcophagus. They ask Jack Parker to examine the crystal and the diagram and he agrees they do look like a wiring schematic. McCadden sends Susie to the Library to do some research. When she arrives, the floor is empty. The mummy is outside. He's attracted to the crystal Susie is wearing on her wrist. He follows her inside and chases her around various floors. She escapes into an elevator and manages to get outside on the roof. She notices it glowing and pulsating. She tries to remove it, but is unsuccessful. The mummy reaches out for the crystal while she is trying to descend a ladder. He gets the crystal, but she falls off the ledge of the library building and is seriously hurt. Fortunately he did not touch her while retrieving the crystal. When she wakes in the hospital, Lt. Plummer is there to question her. She states that the mummy is alive and responsible for the deaths on campus, but he does not believe her. The mummy now has three of the five crystals he needs. He steals a transformer from the Archaeology Building to complete his project. McCadden and Parker find mummy wrappings where the transformer was, and the X-Ray films that Sharpe hid. They confront Sharpe with the evidence. He initially denies any knowledge, then comes clean and tells his story. He still has one crystal left, but admits the remaining one he gave to Sherri. Parker realizes that his girlfriend, Jennie is Sherri's roommate and she is in danger. McCadden now has the fifth crystal. Sharpe tells Parker his girlfriend left it home in the bathroom. Parker rushes over to the house, as does the mummy. McCadden heads for the Reactor Building. The mummy retrieves his fourth crystal, but does not injure Jennie. McCadden notices the mummy's improvised transmitter and adds his crystal to the mechanism. Just then Rossmore, Serrano, and Capt. Willoughby walk in. The mummy arrives at the Reactor Building with crystal number four. He moves McCadden's crystal to the correct location and adds the fifth. The system fires up and the mummy transforms into an alien with large black eyes, and a small nose and mouth. Serrano orders Willoughby to shoot it, but McCadden steps in front of the alien to protect it and is hit by the bullet for his trouble. He is hit in the arm and collapses at the alien's feet. It is now glowing and reaches out with his hand to touch McCadden's hand. They grasp each other's hand and the two disappear, leaving only the glowing crystal that was in the mummy's chest. Serrano races over to retrieve the glowing crystal. He screams and holds up his charred hand. It is burned like all the others that were touched by the fungus or the mummy. The movie concludes with the phrase, "To be Continued."

We open with a zoom in from outside our galaxy, the planet Saturn, a view of the earthrise over the surface of the moon, and the earth zooming in on Egypt. Credits roll with the pyramids in the background. A modern archeological team is working when an earthquake rattles their site. When the lights come back on we see King Tut's tomb and a section of wall collapsed. Holding a flashlight is Prof. Douglas McCadden (Ben Murphy). His assistant, Abdellah (Behrouz Vossoughi) is at his side; inside the chamber is another tomb, surrounded by skeletonized remains.A Boeing 727 lands at an airport in Southern California. We see a panning shot of the California Institute of the Sciences (the campus of CSU, Northridge). McCadden is supervising the removal of the sarcophagus of Ankh Venharis from a truck. Annoying the professor is the campus photographer, Linda Flores (Shari Belafonte-Harper). After the tomb is set up in the lab/classroom, his student aid, Susie Fuller (Nina Axelrod) assists with removal of the seals. They remove the outer lid revealing a decorative inner lid. They read the cartouche--Ankh Venharis, translated as "a noble traveler." Michael Goldstein (Gary Dubin) asks why they would bury a foreign dignitary with King Tut. They start to remove the inner lid when they are interrupted by Peter Sharpe (Kevin Brophy) and his assistant wheeling in an X-Ray machine. They carefully remove the inner lid revealing the mummified remains of a humanoid body covered with wrappings that are covered with a green powdery substance. McCadden tells Michael to get a sample, but in doing so he gets a little on his wrist, despite wearing protective gloves. Susie hands McCadden a jar; he places the scroll of dedication into same and seals the jar. Class is dismissed. Sharpe derisively dismisses Jack Parker (Robert Random), but McCadden overrules him, explaining he is the chief engineer and he wants him present. Sharpe X-Rays the mummy, but after the third shot, Parker notices the setting on the machine and immediately pulls the plug. Sharpe was using ten times the normal dose. Exasperated, McCadden dismisses Sharpe and tells him to deliver the developed X-Rays to his office. Sharpe develops the X-Rays, but while checking them he notices five spherical objects on the film. McCadden and Susie are cleaning the scroll. Sharpe returns to the lab and aligning the X-Rays to the sarcophagus finds a hidden compartment. He opens it and retrieves a leather pouch containing five crystals. He pockets them, examines the rest of the drawer's contents, and satisfied the rest is worthless, closes it back up. He X-Rays the mummy so he can substitute the new film for the old. He packages the films and delivers them to McCadden's office. He stashes the incriminating X-Ray in a transformer room, but can't retrieve it.The high dose of X-Ray radiation reactivates the mummy. McCadden talks to a colleague on the phone about the green substance; he suspects it is a dormant mold. He asks Susie to run the sample over to Dr. Ken Melrose in Pathology. The arms of the mummy move revealing a bright blue light in his chest. The mummy sits up. Susie jostles McCadden awake. He fell asleep at his desk and it is now morning. Examining the X-Rays, McCadden concludes, "this mummy wasn't prepared in the standard manner." In the lab, Susie and McCadden discover the hidden compartment and pull it open. Instead of a green powder, they find a green and yellow wet-paint like substance. As Susie reaches out, McCadden tells her not to touch it, but go tell Melrose that the mold has changed.Sharpe stops by Drucker's Jewelers to have the crystals appraised. The Jeweler (Alan Rachins) informs him, "they are worthless." Ken Melrose (Austin Stoker) pays a visit to the lab and takes a sample from the hidden drawer. He informs McCadden that it is the same fungus, but no longer dormant. He advises no one go near it. The press has been invited to the lab where the sarcophagus is displayed. As they take their seats, McCadden talks to the University President about cancelling the press conference. Michael is guarding the sarcophagus when he notices a splotch of the active green fungus and touches it. He screams and holds his hand up in pain. His index finger is partially covered with the mold. McCadden orders Susie to take him to the campus Hospital Emergency Room and to call Melrose. Amid the commotion, the campus President, Dr. Wendell J. Rossmore (James Karen) walks in. He is flanked by his assistant, Dr. Bruce Serrano (Sam Chew, Jr.) and campus police Captain Willoughby (Clint Young). In his lab, Melrose begins his examination of the fungus. Rossmore takes over the presentation to the press, but he has McCadden unveil the mummy. When his students remove the inner lid the sarcophagus is empty.In the President's office, Peter Sharpe is questioned about his possible involvement in stealing the mummy. Parker is also present. Rossmore demands the mummy be found and directs the campus police to find it. McCadden suggests the local police be notified, but Rossmore insists the recovery be handled internally and directs Willoughby to search the campus. The mummy has chosen the reactor room to hide and work. A janitor (Hugh Stanger) comes into clean, discovers it and is killed. McCadden and Melrose are in the Pathology lab. Melrose explains that the fungus is like nothing he's ever seen. The phone rings and they leave. Dr. Hayworth (Antoinette Bower) is treating Michael Goldstein, and explains that the fungus breaks down tissues and doubles its size every 65 minutes. They enter Michael's hospital room. He has his right hand in a tray. Dr. Hayworth removes the cloth to reveal the fungus has covered it and half of his forearm. Dr. Hayworth recommends amputation before it goes any further.Sharpe is peeping at Parker's girlfriend, Jennie (Melissa Prophet) through the window. She is putting on her bra when his girlfriend, Sherri (Greta Blackburn) catches him. Jennie and Sherri are roommates and share a house together. As a peace offering he gives Sherri one of the crystals on a gold necklace. Capt. Willoughby, while on rounds, discovers the Electrical Supply Room has been burglarized. The room is a shambles.

Sharpe derisively dismisses Jack Parker (Robert Random), but McCadden overrules him, explaining he is the chief engineer and he wants him present. Sharpe X-Rays the mummy, but after the third shot, Parker notices the setting on the machine and immediately pulls the plug. Sharpe was using ten times the normal dose. Exasperated, McCadden dismisses Sharpe and tells him to deliver the developed X-Rays to his office. Sharpe develops the X-Rays, but while checking them he notices five spherical objects on the film. McCadden and Susie are cleaning the scroll. Sharpe returns to the lab and aligning the X-Rays to the sarcophagus finds a hidden compartment. He opens it and retrieves a leather pouch containing five crystals. He pockets them, examines the rest of the drawer's contents, and satisfied the rest is worthless, closes it back up. He X-Rays the mummy so he can substitute the new film for the old. He packages the films and delivers them to McCadden's office. He stashes the incriminating X-Ray in a transformer room, but can't retrieve it.The high dose of X-Ray radiation reactivates the mummy. McCadden talks to a colleague on the phone about the green substance; he suspects it is a dormant mold. He asks Susie to run the sample over to Dr. Ken Melrose in Pathology. The arms of the mummy move revealing a bright blue light in his chest. The mummy sits up. Susie jostles McCadden awake. He fell asleep at his desk and it is now morning. Examining the X-Rays, McCadden concludes, "this mummy wasn't prepared in the standard manner." In the lab, Susie and McCadden discover the hidden compartment and pull it open. Instead of a green powder, they find a green and yellow wet-paint like substance. As Susie reaches out, McCadden tells her not to touch it, but go tell Melrose that the mold has changed.Sharpe stops by Drucker's Jewelers to have the crystals appraised. The Jeweler (Alan Rachins) informs him, "they are worthless." Ken Melrose (Austin Stoker) pays a visit to the lab and takes a sample from the hidden drawer. He informs McCadden that it is the same fungus, but no longer dormant. He advises no one go near it. The press has been invited to the lab where the sarcophagus is displayed. As they take their seats, McCadden talks to the University President about cancelling the press conference. Michael is guarding the sarcophagus when he notices a splotch of the active green fungus and touches it. He screams and holds his hand up in pain. His index finger is partially covered with the mold. McCadden orders Susie to take him to the campus Hospital Emergency Room and to call Melrose. Amid the commotion, the campus President, Dr. Wendell J. Rossmore (James Karen) walks in. He is flanked by his assistant, Dr. Bruce Serrano (Sam Chew, Jr.) and campus police Captain Willoughby (Clint Young). In his lab, Melrose begins his examination of the fungus. Rossmore takes over the presentation to the press, but he has McCadden unveil the mummy. When his students remove the inner lid the sarcophagus is empty.In the President's office, Peter Sharpe is questioned about his possible involvement in stealing the mummy. Parker is also present. Rossmore demands the mummy be found and directs the campus police to find it. McCadden suggests the local police be notified, but Rossmore insists the recovery be handled internally and directs Willoughby to search the campus. The mummy has chosen the reactor room to hide and work. A janitor (Hugh Stanger) comes into clean, discovers it and is killed. McCadden and Melrose are in the Pathology lab. Melrose explains that the fungus is like nothing he's ever seen. The phone rings and they leave. Dr. Hayworth (Antoinette Bower) is treating Michael Goldstein, and explains that the fungus breaks down tissues and doubles its size every 65 minutes. They enter Michael's hospital room. He has his right hand in a tray. Dr. Hayworth removes the cloth to reveal the fungus has covered it and half of his forearm. Dr. Hayworth recommends amputation before it goes any further.Sharpe is peeping at Parker's girlfriend, Jennie (Melissa Prophet) through the window. She is putting on her bra when his girlfriend, Sherri (Greta Blackburn) catches him. Jennie and Sherri are roommates and share a house together. As a peace offering he gives Sherri one of the crystals on a gold necklace. Capt. Willoughby, while on rounds, discovers the Electrical Supply Room has been burglarized. The room is a shambles. He uses the telephone to report the break in to Dr. Serrano, President Rossmore's assistant.McCadden walks over to KCIS, the campus radio station, and meets with Linda Flores. She is the evening DJ in addition to her duties as campus photographer. He broadcasts a message to the Fraternity houses demanding the return of the mummy. He warns them of the danger of the fungus on the wrappings. In need of more cash to take his girlfriend out to dinner, Sharpe sells a crystal to Greg Hauser (Gerard Prendergast). Now flush with cash, he and Sherri go to dinner at a very expensive restaurant. While dining, a couple of fraternity brothers see them and accost Sharpe over some unpaid loan. Stanley (Warrington Gillette) and Bill Vogler (John Lavachielli) take his $50, but he works a deal for a couple more crystals. While dining Sherri notices the crystal getting warm and lighting up and pulsating. After he gets off work, Greg Hauser stops by to see his girlfriend, Ellen Winters (Greta Stapf). She is babysitting. He puts his coat over the baby's crib and the crystal necklace he intends to give her as a present falls out. They walk down the hallway to the bedroom to make out. The mummy is on the prowl to recover his stolen crystals. He enters the house. Greg puts the present around her neck. The baby begins to cry and Ellen goes in to check on him. The mummy reaches out, takes the crystal, and she screams and falls back against the wall with a baseball sized burn on her chest. In the hospital, Dr. Hayworth introduces Lt. Plummer (Darwin Jostin) to Drs. Melrose and McCadden. Plummer tries to question Greg Hauser about the circumstances surrounding Ellen's accident and burn. He's in shock and only says one word, "Mummy." The mummy places the first of five recovered crystals on the triangular transmitter/receiver. When he does so electrical appliances in the vacinity begin to malfunction.McCadden has translated the scroll he found with mummified remains of Ankh Venharis. It reads, "because of his unusual appearance, the Egyptians assumed him to be a god...King Tut reached out to touch the weary traveler and was sorely burned with a disease that consumed his flesh." Melrose returns to his lab to do an experiment on the fungus; he discovers X-Rays activate it. He concludes that an X-Ray to check for broken bones on Ellen will do the same to her. He calls to have the X-Ray cancelled, but his call his too late. The X-Ray causes the fungus to spread to her neck and head and kills her. Stanley runs into Susie on the campus. He's interested in her, but she does not reciprocate. He gives her a bracelet with a crystal.It's now Saturday and a Fraternity party with an ancient Egyptian theme is starting. The mummy is back on the prowl (or glide) for another crystal. Bill Vogler is looking for his would be girlfriend, Sarah (Michelle Avonne). She stands him up and he throws the crystal necklace on the ground in disgust. He has second thoughts, and retrieves it only to have the mummy pull it from him. He gives Bill a back hand that knocks him into a wall with tremendous force killing him instantly. The mummy adds the second crystal to his transmitter, which causes a wider spread electrical interference. Jack Parker, who stopped by to see his girlfriend, Jennie, excuses himself to check on the power outage. He discovers a power drain in the campus reactor building, investigates, but is satisfied there is no danger. As he exits he bumps into Dr. Serrano and Capt. Willoughby. The fraternity party moves outside. While Jack Parker walks back to see Jennie, he discovers the body of Bill Vogler just as the party walks by. Lt. Plummer arrives and questions McCadden, then questions Rossmore. After the police leave, Serrano tells Rossmore he believes McCadden stole his own mummy and is waiting to return it to be a hero.The next morning, McCadden and Susie discover the bracelet crystal has something inside. It looks like an electrical diagram. The same pattern was on a piece of material they found with the scroll in the sarcophagus. They ask Jack Parker to examine the crystal and the diagram and he agrees they do look like a wiring schematic. McCadden sends Susie to the Library to do some research. When she arrives, the floor is empty. The mummy is outside. He's attracted to the crystal Susie is wearing on her wrist. He follows her inside and chases her around various floors. She escapes into an elevator and manages to get outside on the roof. She notices it glowing and pulsating. She tries to remove it, but is unsuccessful. The mummy reaches out for the crystal while she is trying to descend a ladder. He gets the crystal, but she falls off the ledge of the library building and is seriously hurt. Fortunately he did not touch her while retrieving the crystal. When she wakes in the hospital, Lt. Plummer is there to question her. She states that the mummy is alive and responsible for the deaths on campus, but he does not believe her. The mummy now has three of the five crystals he needs. He steals a transformer from the Archaeology Building to complete his project. McCadden and Parker find mummy wrappings where the transformer was, and the X-Ray films that Sharpe hid. They confront Sharpe with the evidence. He initially denies any knowledge, then comes clean and tells his story. He still has one crystal left, but admits the remaining one he gave to Sherri. Parker realizes that his girlfriend, Jennie is Sherri's roommate and she is in danger. McCadden now has the fifth crystal. Sharpe tells Parker his girlfriend left it home in the bathroom. Parker rushes over to the house, as does the mummy. McCadden heads for the Reactor Building. The mummy retrieves his fourth crystal, but does not injure Jennie. McCadden notices the mummy's improvised transmitter and adds his crystal to the mechanism. Just then Rossmore, Serrano, and Capt. Willoughby walk in. The mummy arrives at the Reactor Building with crystal number four. He moves McCadden's crystal to the correct location and adds the fifth. The system fires up and the mummy transforms into an alien with large black eyes, and a small nose and mouth. Serrano orders Willoughby to shoot it, but McCadden steps in front of the alien to protect it and is hit by the bullet for his trouble. He is hit in the arm and collapses at the alien's feet. It is now glowing and reaches out with his hand to touch McCadden's hand. They grasp each other's hand and the two disappear, leaving only the glowing crystal that was in the mummy's chest. Serrano races over to retrieve the glowing crystal. He screams and holds up his charred hand. It is burned like all the others that were touched by the fungus or the mummy. The movie concludes with the phrase, "To be Continued."

We open with a zoom in from outside our galaxy, the planet Saturn, a view of the earthrise over the surface of the moon, and the earth zooming in on Egypt. Credits roll with the pyramids in the background. A modern archeological team is working when an earthquake rattles their site. When the lights come back on we see King Tut's tomb and a section of wall collapsed. Holding a flashlight is Prof. Douglas McCadden (Ben Murphy). His assistant, Abdellah (Behrouz Vossoughi) is at his side; inside the chamber is another tomb, surrounded by skeletonized remains.A Boeing 727 lands at an airport in Southern California. We see a panning shot of the California Institute of the Sciences (the campus of CSU, Northridge). McCadden is supervising the removal of the sarcophagus of Ankh Venharis from a truck. Annoying the professor is the campus photographer, Linda Flores (Shari Belafonte-Harper). After the tomb is set up in the lab/classroom, his student aid, Susie Fuller (Nina Axelrod) assists with removal of the seals. They remove the outer lid revealing a decorative inner lid. They read the cartouche--Ankh Venharis, translated as "a noble traveler." Michael Goldstein (Gary Dubin) asks why they would bury a foreign dignitary with King Tut. They start to remove the inner lid when they are interrupted by Peter Sharpe (Kevin Brophy) and his assistant wheeling in an X-Ray machine. They carefully remove the inner lid revealing the mummified remains of a humanoid body covered with wrappings that are covered with a green powdery substance. McCadden tells Michael to get a sample, but in doing so he gets a little on his wrist, despite wearing protective gloves. Susie hands McCadden a jar; he places the scroll of dedication into same and seals the jar. Class is dismissed.

When she arrives, the floor is empty. The mummy is outside. He's attracted to the crystal Susie is wearing on her wrist. He follows her inside and chases her around various floors. She escapes into an elevator and manages to get outside on the roof. She notices it glowing and pulsating. She tries to remove it, but is unsuccessful. The mummy reaches out for the crystal while she is trying to descend a ladder. He gets the crystal, but she falls off the ledge of the library building and is seriously hurt. Fortunately he did not touch her while retrieving the crystal. When she wakes in the hospital, Lt. Plummer is there to question her. She states that the mummy is alive and responsible for the deaths on campus, but he does not believe her. The mummy now has three of the five crystals he needs. He steals a transformer from the Archaeology Building to complete his project. McCadden and Parker find mummy wrappings where the transformer was, and the X-Ray films that Sharpe hid. They confront Sharpe with the evidence. He initially denies any knowledge, then comes clean and tells his story. He still has one crystal left, but admits the remaining one he gave to Sherri. Parker realizes that his girlfriend, Jennie is Sherri's roommate and she is in danger. McCadden now has the fifth crystal. Sharpe tells Parker his girlfriend left it home in the bathroom. Parker rushes over to the house, as does the mummy. McCadden heads for the Reactor Building. The mummy retrieves his fourth crystal, but does not injure Jennie. McCadden notices the mummy's improvised transmitter and adds his crystal to the mechanism. Just then Rossmore, Serrano, and Capt. Willoughby walk in. The mummy arrives at the Reactor Building with crystal number four. He moves McCadden's crystal to the correct location and adds the fifth. The system fires up and the mummy transforms into an alien with large black eyes, and a small nose and mouth. Serrano orders Willoughby to shoot it, but McCadden steps in front of the alien to protect it and is hit by the bullet for his trouble. He is hit in the arm and collapses at the alien's feet. It is now glowing and reaches out with his hand to touch McCadden's hand. They grasp each other's hand and the two disappear, leaving only the glowing crystal that was in the mummy's chest. Serrano races over to retrieve the glowing crystal. He screams and holds up his charred hand. It is burned like all the others that were touched by the fungus or the mummy. The movie concludes with the phrase, "To be Continued."

We open with a zoom in from outside our galaxy, the planet Saturn, a view of the earthrise over the surface of the moon, and the earth zooming in on Egypt. Credits roll with the pyramids in the background. A modern archeological team is working when an earthquake rattles their site. When the lights come back on we see King Tut's tomb and a section of wall collapsed. Holding a flashlight is Prof. Douglas McCadden (Ben Murphy). His assistant, Abdellah (Behrouz Vossoughi) is at his side; inside the chamber is another tomb, surrounded by skeletonized remains.A Boeing 727 lands at an airport in Southern California. We see a panning shot of the California Institute of the Sciences (the campus of CSU, Northridge). McCadden is supervising the removal of the sarcophagus of Ankh Venharis from a truck. Annoying the professor is the campus photographer, Linda Flores (Shari Belafonte-Harper). After the tomb is set up in the lab/classroom, his student aid, Susie Fuller (Nina Axelrod) assists with removal of the seals. They remove the outer lid revealing a decorative inner lid. They read the cartouche--Ankh Venharis, translated as "a noble traveler." Michael Goldstein (Gary Dubin) asks why they would bury a foreign dignitary with King Tut. They start to remove the inner lid when they are interrupted by Peter Sharpe (Kevin Brophy) and his assistant wheeling in an X-Ray machine. They carefully remove the inner lid revealing the mummified remains of a humanoid body covered with wrappings that are covered with a green powdery substance. McCadden tells Michael to get a sample, but in doing so he gets a little on his wrist, despite wearing protective gloves. Susie hands McCadden a jar; he places the scroll of dedication into same and seals the jar. Class is dismissed. Sharpe derisively dismisses Jack Parker (Robert Random), but McCadden overrules him, explaining he is the chief engineer and he wants him present. Sharpe X-Rays the mummy, but after the third shot, Parker notices the setting on the machine and immediately pulls the plug. Sharpe was using ten times the normal dose. Exasperated, McCadden dismisses Sharpe and tells him to deliver the developed X-Rays to his office. Sharpe develops the X-Rays, but while checking them he notices five spherical objects on the film. McCadden and Susie are cleaning the scroll. Sharpe returns to the lab and aligning the X-Rays to the sarcophagus finds a hidden compartment. He opens it and retrieves a leather pouch containing five crystals. He pockets them, examines the rest of the drawer's contents, and satisfied the rest is worthless, closes it back up. He X-Rays the mummy so he can substitute the new film for the old. He packages the films and delivers them to McCadden's office. He stashes the incriminating X-Ray in a transformer room, but can't retrieve it.The high dose of X-Ray radiation reactivates the mummy. McCadden talks to a colleague on the phone about the green substance; he suspects it is a dormant mold. He asks Susie to run the sample over to Dr. Ken Melrose in Pathology. The arms of the mummy move revealing a bright blue light in his chest. The mummy sits up. Susie jostles McCadden awake. He fell asleep at his desk and it is now morning. Examining the X-Rays, McCadden concludes, "this mummy wasn't prepared in the standard manner." In the lab, Susie and McCadden discover the hidden compartment and pull it open. Instead of a green powder, they find a green and yellow wet-paint like substance. As Susie reaches out, McCadden tells her not to touch it, but go tell Melrose that the mold has changed.Sharpe stops by Drucker's Jewelers to have the crystals appraised. The Jeweler (Alan Rachins) informs him, "they are worthless." Ken Melrose (Austin Stoker) pays a visit to the lab and takes a sample from the hidden drawer. He informs McCadden that it is the same fungus, but no longer dormant. He advises no one go near it. The press has been invited to the lab where the sarcophagus is displayed. As they take their seats, McCadden talks to the University President about cancelling the press conference. Michael is guarding the sarcophagus when he notices a splotch of the active green fungus and touches it. He screams and holds his hand up in pain. His index finger is partially covered with the mold. McCadden orders Susie to take him to the campus Hospital Emergency Room and to call Melrose. Amid the commotion, the campus President, Dr. Wendell J. Rossmore (James Karen) walks in. He is flanked by his assistant, Dr. Bruce Serrano (Sam Chew, Jr.) and campus police Captain Willoughby (Clint Young). In his lab, Melrose begins his examination of the fungus. Rossmore takes over the presentation to the press, but he has McCadden unveil the mummy. When his students remove the inner lid the sarcophagus is empty.In the President's office, Peter Sharpe is questioned about his possible involvement in stealing the mummy. Parker is also present. Rossmore demands the mummy be found and directs the campus police to find it. McCadden suggests the local police be notified, but Rossmore insists the recovery be handled internally and directs Willoughby to search the campus. The mummy has chosen the reactor room to hide and work. A janitor (Hugh Stanger) comes into clean, discovers it and is killed. McCadden and Melrose are in the Pathology lab. Melrose explains that the fungus is like nothing he's ever seen. The phone rings and they leave. Dr. Hayworth (Antoinette Bower) is treating Michael Goldstein, and explains that the fungus breaks down tissues and doubles its size every 65 minutes. They enter Michael's hospital room. He has his right hand in a tray. Dr. Hayworth removes the cloth to reveal the fungus has covered it and half of his forearm. Dr. Hayworth recommends amputation before it goes any further.Sharpe is peeping at Parker's girlfriend, Jennie (Melissa Prophet) through the window. She is putting on her bra when his girlfriend, Sherri (Greta Blackburn) catches him. Jennie and Sherri are roommates and share a house together. As a peace offering he gives Sherri one of the crystals on a gold necklace. Capt. Willoughby, while on rounds, discovers the Electrical Supply Room has been burglarized. The room is a shambles. He uses the telephone to report the break in to Dr. Serrano, President Rossmore's assistant.McCadden walks over to KCIS, the campus radio station, and meets with Linda Flores. She is the evening DJ in addition to her duties as campus photographer. He broadcasts a message to the Fraternity houses demanding the return of the mummy. He warns them of the danger of the fungus on the wrappings. In need of more cash to take his girlfriend out to dinner, Sharpe sells a crystal to Greg Hauser (Gerard Prendergast). Now flush with cash, he and Sherri go to dinner at a very expensive restaurant. While dining, a couple of fraternity brothers see them and accost Sharpe over some unpaid loan. Stanley (Warrington Gillette) and Bill Vogler (John Lavachielli) take his $50, but he works a deal for a couple more crystals. While dining Sherri notices the crystal getting warm and lighting up and pulsating. After he gets off work, Greg Hauser stops by to see his girlfriend, Ellen Winters (Greta Stapf). She is babysitting. He puts his coat over the baby's crib and the crystal necklace he intends to give her as a present falls out. They walk down the hallway to the bedroom to make out. The mummy is on the prowl to recover his stolen crystals. He enters the house. Greg puts the present around her neck. The baby begins to cry and Ellen goes in to check on him. The mummy reaches out, takes the crystal, and she screams and falls back against the wall with a baseball sized burn on her chest. In the hospital, Dr. Hayworth introduces Lt. Plummer (Darwin Jostin) to Drs. Melrose and McCadden. Plummer tries to question Greg Hauser about the circumstances surrounding Ellen's accident and burn. He's in shock and only says one word, "Mummy." The mummy places the first of five recovered crystals on the triangular transmitter/receiver. When he does so electrical appliances in the vacinity begin to malfunction.McCadden has translated the scroll he found with mummified remains of Ankh Venharis. It reads, "because of his unusual appearance, the Egyptians assumed him to be a god...King Tut reached out to touch the weary traveler and was sorely burned with a disease that consumed his flesh." Melrose returns to his lab to do an experiment on the fungus; he discovers X-Rays activate it. He concludes that an X-Ray to check for broken bones on Ellen will do the same to her. He calls to have the X-Ray cancelled, but his call his too late. The X-Ray causes the fungus to spread to her neck and head and kills her. Stanley runs into Susie on the campus. He's interested in her, but she does not reciprocate. He gives her a bracelet with a crystal.It's now Saturday and a Fraternity party with an ancient Egyptian theme is starting. The mummy is back on the prowl (or glide) for another crystal. Bill Vogler is looking for his would be girlfriend, Sarah (Michelle Avonne). She stands him up and he throws the crystal necklace on the ground in disgust. He has second thoughts, and retrieves it only to have the mummy pull it from him. He gives Bill a back hand that knocks him into a wall with tremendous force killing him instantly. The mummy adds the second crystal to his transmitter, which causes a wider spread electrical interference. Jack Parker, who stopped by to see his girlfriend, Jennie, excuses himself to check on the power outage. He discovers a power drain in the campus reactor building, investigates, but is satisfied there is no danger. As he exits he bumps into Dr. Serrano and Capt. Willoughby. The fraternity party moves outside. While Jack Parker walks back to see Jennie, he discovers the body of Bill Vogler just as the party walks by. Lt. Plummer arrives and questions McCadden, then questions Rossmore. After the police leave, Serrano tells Rossmore he believes McCadden stole his own mummy and is waiting to return it to be a hero.The next morning, McCadden and Susie discover the bracelet crystal has something inside. It looks like an electrical diagram. The same pattern was on a piece of material they found with the scroll in the sarcophagus. They ask Jack Parker to examine the crystal and the diagram and he agrees they do look like a wiring schematic. McCadden sends Susie to the Library to do some research.

Dr. Hayworth recommends amputation before it goes any further.Sharpe is peeping at Parker's girlfriend, Jennie (Melissa Prophet) through the window. She is putting on her bra when his girlfriend, Sherri (Greta Blackburn) catches him. Jennie and Sherri are roommates and share a house together. As a peace offering he gives Sherri one of the crystals on a gold necklace. Capt. Willoughby, while on rounds, discovers the Electrical Supply Room has been burglarized. The room is a shambles. He uses the telephone to report the break in to Dr. Serrano, President Rossmore's assistant.McCadden walks over to KCIS, the campus radio station, and meets with Linda Flores. She is the evening DJ in addition to her duties as campus photographer. He broadcasts a message to the Fraternity houses demanding the return of the mummy. He warns them of the danger of the fungus on the wrappings. In need of more cash to take his girlfriend out to dinner, Sharpe sells a crystal to Greg Hauser (Gerard Prendergast). Now flush with cash, he and Sherri go to dinner at a very expensive restaurant. While dining, a couple of fraternity brothers see them and accost Sharpe over some unpaid loan. Stanley (Warrington Gillette) and Bill Vogler (John Lavachielli) take his $50, but he works a deal for a couple more crystals. While dining Sherri notices the crystal getting warm and lighting up and pulsating. After he gets off work, Greg Hauser stops by to see his girlfriend, Ellen Winters (Greta Stapf). She is babysitting. He puts his coat over the baby's crib and the crystal necklace he intends to give her as a present falls out. They walk down the hallway to the bedroom to make out. The mummy is on the prowl to recover his stolen crystals. He enters the house. Greg puts the present around her neck. The baby begins to cry and Ellen goes in to check on him. The mummy reaches out, takes the crystal, and she screams and falls back against the wall with a baseball sized burn on her chest. In the hospital, Dr. Hayworth introduces Lt. Plummer (Darwin Jostin) to Drs. Melrose and McCadden. Plummer tries to question Greg Hauser about the circumstances surrounding Ellen's accident and burn. He's in shock and only says one word, "Mummy." The mummy places the first of five recovered crystals on the triangular transmitter/receiver. When he does so electrical appliances in the vacinity begin to malfunction.McCadden has translated the scroll he found with mummified remains of Ankh Venharis. It reads, "because of his unusual appearance, the Egyptians assumed him to be a god...King Tut reached out to touch the weary traveler and was sorely burned with a disease that consumed his flesh." Melrose returns to his lab to do an experiment on the fungus; he discovers X-Rays activate it. He concludes that an X-Ray to check for broken bones on Ellen will do the same to her. He calls to have the X-Ray cancelled, but his call his too late. The X-Ray causes the fungus to spread to her neck and head and kills her. Stanley runs into Susie on the campus. He's interested in her, but she does not reciprocate. He gives her a bracelet with a crystal.It's now Saturday and a Fraternity party with an ancient Egyptian theme is starting. The mummy is back on the prowl (or glide) for another crystal. Bill Vogler is looking for his would be girlfriend, Sarah (Michelle Avonne). She stands him up and he throws the crystal necklace on the ground in disgust. He has second thoughts, and retrieves it only to have the mummy pull it from him. He gives Bill a back hand that knocks him into a wall with tremendous force killing him instantly. The mummy adds the second crystal to his transmitter, which causes a wider spread electrical interference. Jack Parker, who stopped by to see his girlfriend, Jennie, excuses himself to check on the power outage. He discovers a power drain in the campus reactor building, investigates, but is satisfied there is no danger. As he exits he bumps into Dr. Serrano and Capt. Willoughby. The fraternity party moves outside. While Jack Parker walks back to see Jennie, he discovers the body of Bill Vogler just as the party walks by. Lt. Plummer arrives and questions McCadden, then questions Rossmore. After the police leave, Serrano tells Rossmore he believes McCadden stole his own mummy and is waiting to return it to be a hero.The next morning, McCadden and Susie discover the bracelet crystal has something inside. It looks like an electrical diagram. The same pattern was on a piece of material they found with the scroll in the sarcophagus. They ask Jack Parker to examine the crystal and the diagram and he agrees they do look like a wiring schematic. McCadden sends Susie to the Library to do some research. When she arrives, the floor is empty. The mummy is outside. He's attracted to the crystal Susie is wearing on her wrist. He follows her inside and chases her around various floors. She escapes into an elevator and manages to get outside on the roof. She notices it glowing and pulsating. She tries to remove it, but is unsuccessful. The mummy reaches out for the crystal while she is trying to descend a ladder. He gets the crystal, but she falls off the ledge of the library building and is seriously hurt. Fortunately he did not touch her while retrieving the crystal. When she wakes in the hospital, Lt. Plummer is there to question her. She states that the mummy is alive and responsible for the deaths on campus, but he does not believe her. The mummy now has three of the five crystals he needs. He steals a transformer from the Archaeology Building to complete his project. McCadden and Parker find mummy wrappings where the transformer was, and the X-Ray films that Sharpe hid. They confront Sharpe with the evidence. He initially denies any knowledge, then comes clean and tells his story. He still has one crystal left, but admits the remaining one he gave to Sherri. Parker realizes that his girlfriend, Jennie is Sherri's roommate and she is in danger. McCadden now has the fifth crystal. Sharpe tells Parker his girlfriend left it home in the bathroom. Parker rushes over to the house, as does the mummy. McCadden heads for the Reactor Building. The mummy retrieves his fourth crystal, but does not injure Jennie. McCadden notices the mummy's improvised transmitter and adds his crystal to the mechanism. Just then Rossmore, Serrano, and Capt. Willoughby walk in. The mummy arrives at the Reactor Building with crystal number four. He moves McCadden's crystal to the correct location and adds the fifth. The system fires up and the mummy transforms into an alien with large black eyes, and a small nose and mouth. Serrano orders Willoughby to shoot it, but McCadden steps in front of the alien to protect it and is hit by the bullet for his trouble. He is hit in the arm and collapses at the alien's feet. It is now glowing and reaches out with his hand to touch McCadden's hand. They grasp each other's hand and the two disappear, leaving only the glowing crystal that was in the mummy's chest. Serrano races over to retrieve the glowing crystal. He screams and holds up his charred hand. It is burned like all the others that were touched by the fungus or the mummy. The movie concludes with the phrase, "To be Continued."

We open with a zoom in from outside our galaxy, the planet Saturn, a view of the earthrise over the surface of the moon, and the earth zooming in on Egypt. Credits roll with the pyramids in the background. A modern archeological team is working when an earthquake rattles their site. When the lights come back on we see King Tut's tomb and a section of wall collapsed. Holding a flashlight is Prof. Douglas McCadden (Ben Murphy). His assistant, Abdellah (Behrouz Vossoughi) is at his side; inside the chamber is another tomb, surrounded by skeletonized remains.A Boeing 727 lands at an airport in Southern California. We see a panning shot of the California Institute of the Sciences (the campus of CSU, Northridge). McCadden is supervising the removal of the sarcophagus of Ankh Venharis from a truck. Annoying the professor is the campus photographer, Linda Flores (Shari Belafonte-Harper). After the tomb is set up in the lab/classroom, his student aid, Susie Fuller (Nina Axelrod) assists with removal of the seals. They remove the outer lid revealing a decorative inner lid. They read the cartouche--Ankh Venharis, translated as "a noble traveler." Michael Goldstein (Gary Dubin) asks why they would bury a foreign dignitary with King Tut. They start to remove the inner lid when they are interrupted by Peter Sharpe (Kevin Brophy) and his assistant wheeling in an X-Ray machine. They carefully remove the inner lid revealing the mummified remains of a humanoid body covered with wrappings that are covered with a green powdery substance. McCadden tells Michael to get a sample, but in doing so he gets a little on his wrist, despite wearing protective gloves. Susie hands McCadden a jar; he places the scroll of dedication into same and seals the jar. Class is dismissed. Sharpe derisively dismisses Jack Parker (Robert Random), but McCadden overrules him, explaining he is the chief engineer and he wants him present. Sharpe X-Rays the mummy, but after the third shot, Parker notices the setting on the machine and immediately pulls the plug. Sharpe was using ten times the normal dose. Exasperated, McCadden dismisses Sharpe and tells him to deliver the developed X-Rays to his office. Sharpe develops the X-Rays, but while checking them he notices five spherical objects on the film. McCadden and Susie are cleaning the scroll. Sharpe returns to the lab and aligning the X-Rays to the sarcophagus finds a hidden compartment. He opens it and retrieves a leather pouch containing five crystals. He pockets them, examines the rest of the drawer's contents, and satisfied the rest is worthless, closes it back up. He X-Rays the mummy so he can substitute the new film for the old. He packages the films and delivers them to McCadden's office. He stashes the incriminating X-Ray in a transformer room, but can't retrieve it.The high dose of X-Ray radiation reactivates the mummy. McCadden talks to a colleague on the phone about the green substance; he suspects it is a dormant mold. He asks Susie to run the sample over to Dr. Ken Melrose in Pathology. The arms of the mummy move revealing a bright blue light in his chest. The mummy sits up. Susie jostles McCadden awake. He fell asleep at his desk and it is now morning. Examining the X-Rays, McCadden concludes, "this mummy wasn't prepared in the standard manner." In the lab, Susie and McCadden discover the hidden compartment and pull it open. Instead of a green powder, they find a green and yellow wet-paint like substance. As Susie reaches out, McCadden tells her not to touch it, but go tell Melrose that the mold has changed.Sharpe stops by Drucker's Jewelers to have the crystals appraised. The Jeweler (Alan Rachins) informs him, "they are worthless." Ken Melrose (Austin Stoker) pays a visit to the lab and takes a sample from the hidden drawer. He informs McCadden that it is the same fungus, but no longer dormant. He advises no one go near it. The press has been invited to the lab where the sarcophagus is displayed. As they take their seats, McCadden talks to the University President about cancelling the press conference. Michael is guarding the sarcophagus when he notices a splotch of the active green fungus and touches it. He screams and holds his hand up in pain. His index finger is partially covered with the mold. McCadden orders Susie to take him to the campus Hospital Emergency Room and to call Melrose. Amid the commotion, the campus President, Dr. Wendell J. Rossmore (James Karen) walks in. He is flanked by his assistant, Dr. Bruce Serrano (Sam Chew, Jr.) and campus police Captain Willoughby (Clint Young). In his lab, Melrose begins his examination of the fungus. Rossmore takes over the presentation to the press, but he has McCadden unveil the mummy. When his students remove the inner lid the sarcophagus is empty.In the President's office, Peter Sharpe is questioned about his possible involvement in stealing the mummy. Parker is also present. Rossmore demands the mummy be found and directs the campus police to find it. McCadden suggests the local police be notified, but Rossmore insists the recovery be handled internally and directs Willoughby to search the campus. The mummy has chosen the reactor room to hide and work. A janitor (Hugh Stanger) comes into clean, discovers it and is killed. McCadden and Melrose are in the Pathology lab. Melrose explains that the fungus is like nothing he's ever seen. The phone rings and they leave. Dr. Hayworth (Antoinette Bower) is treating Michael Goldstein, and explains that the fungus breaks down tissues and doubles its size every 65 minutes. They enter Michael's hospital room. He has his right hand in a tray. Dr. Hayworth removes the cloth to reveal the fungus has covered it and half of his forearm.

After the tomb is set up in the lab/classroom, his student aid, Susie Fuller (Nina Axelrod) assists with removal of the seals. They remove the outer lid revealing a decorative inner lid. They read the cartouche--Ankh Venharis, translated as "a noble traveler." Michael Goldstein (Gary Dubin) asks why they would bury a foreign dignitary with King Tut. They start to remove the inner lid when they are interrupted by Peter Sharpe (Kevin Brophy) and his assistant wheeling in an X-Ray machine. They carefully remove the inner lid revealing the mummified remains of a humanoid body covered with wrappings that are covered with a green powdery substance. McCadden tells Michael to get a sample, but in doing so he gets a little on his wrist, despite wearing protective gloves. Susie hands McCadden a jar; he places the scroll of dedication into same and seals the jar. Class is dismissed. Sharpe derisively dismisses Jack Parker (Robert Random), but McCadden overrules him, explaining he is the chief engineer and he wants him present. Sharpe X-Rays the mummy, but after the third shot, Parker notices the setting on the machine and immediately pulls the plug. Sharpe was using ten times the normal dose. Exasperated, McCadden dismisses Sharpe and tells him to deliver the developed X-Rays to his office. Sharpe develops the X-Rays, but while checking them he notices five spherical objects on the film. McCadden and Susie are cleaning the scroll. Sharpe returns to the lab and aligning the X-Rays to the sarcophagus finds a hidden compartment. He opens it and retrieves a leather pouch containing five crystals. He pockets them, examines the rest of the drawer's contents, and satisfied the rest is worthless, closes it back up. He X-Rays the mummy so he can substitute the new film for the old. He packages the films and delivers them to McCadden's office. He stashes the incriminating X-Ray in a transformer room, but can't retrieve it.The high dose of X-Ray radiation reactivates the mummy. McCadden talks to a colleague on the phone about the green substance; he suspects it is a dormant mold. He asks Susie to run the sample over to Dr. Ken Melrose in Pathology. The arms of the mummy move revealing a bright blue light in his chest. The mummy sits up. Susie jostles McCadden awake. He fell asleep at his desk and it is now morning. Examining the X-Rays, McCadden concludes, "this mummy wasn't prepared in the standard manner." In the lab, Susie and McCadden discover the hidden compartment and pull it open. Instead of a green powder, they find a green and yellow wet-paint like substance. As Susie reaches out, McCadden tells her not to touch it, but go tell Melrose that the mold has changed.Sharpe stops by Drucker's Jewelers to have the crystals appraised. The Jeweler (Alan Rachins) informs him, "they are worthless." Ken Melrose (Austin Stoker) pays a visit to the lab and takes a sample from the hidden drawer. He informs McCadden that it is the same fungus, but no longer dormant. He advises no one go near it. The press has been invited to the lab where the sarcophagus is displayed. As they take their seats, McCadden talks to the University President about cancelling the press conference. Michael is guarding the sarcophagus when he notices a splotch of the active green fungus and touches it. He screams and holds his hand up in pain. His index finger is partially covered with the mold. McCadden orders Susie to take him to the campus Hospital Emergency Room and to call Melrose. Amid the commotion, the campus President, Dr. Wendell J. Rossmore (James Karen) walks in. He is flanked by his assistant, Dr. Bruce Serrano (Sam Chew, Jr.) and campus police Captain Willoughby (Clint Young). In his lab, Melrose begins his examination of the fungus. Rossmore takes over the presentation to the press, but he has McCadden unveil the mummy. When his students remove the inner lid the sarcophagus is empty.In the President's office, Peter Sharpe is questioned about his possible involvement in stealing the mummy. Parker is also present. Rossmore demands the mummy be found and directs the campus police to find it. McCadden suggests the local police be notified, but Rossmore insists the recovery be handled internally and directs Willoughby to search the campus. The mummy has chosen the reactor room to hide and work. A janitor (Hugh Stanger) comes into clean, discovers it and is killed. McCadden and Melrose are in the Pathology lab. Melrose explains that the fungus is like nothing he's ever seen. The phone rings and they leave. Dr. Hayworth (Antoinette Bower) is treating Michael Goldstein, and explains that the fungus breaks down tissues and doubles its size every 65 minutes. They enter Michael's hospital room. He has his right hand in a tray. Dr. Hayworth removes the cloth to reveal the fungus has covered it and half of his forearm. Dr. Hayworth recommends amputation before it goes any further.Sharpe is peeping at Parker's girlfriend, Jennie (Melissa Prophet) through the window. She is putting on her bra when his girlfriend, Sherri (Greta Blackburn) catches him. Jennie and Sherri are roommates and share a house together. As a peace offering he gives Sherri one of the crystals on a gold necklace. Capt. Willoughby, while on rounds, discovers the Electrical Supply Room has been burglarized. The room is a shambles. He uses the telephone to report the break in to Dr. Serrano, President Rossmore's assistant.McCadden walks over to KCIS, the campus radio station, and meets with Linda Flores. She is the evening DJ in addition to her duties as campus photographer. He broadcasts a message to the Fraternity houses demanding the return of the mummy. He warns them of the danger of the fungus on the wrappings. In need of more cash to take his girlfriend out to dinner, Sharpe sells a crystal to Greg Hauser (Gerard Prendergast). Now flush with cash, he and Sherri go to dinner at a very expensive restaurant. While dining, a couple of fraternity brothers see them and accost Sharpe over some unpaid loan. Stanley (Warrington Gillette) and Bill Vogler (John Lavachielli) take his $50, but he works a deal for a couple more crystals. While dining Sherri notices the crystal getting warm and lighting up and pulsating. After he gets off work, Greg Hauser stops by to see his girlfriend, Ellen Winters (Greta Stapf). She is babysitting. He puts his coat over the baby's crib and the crystal necklace he intends to give her as a present falls out. They walk down the hallway to the bedroom to make out. The mummy is on the prowl to recover his stolen crystals. He enters the house. Greg puts the present around her neck. The baby begins to cry and Ellen goes in to check on him. The mummy reaches out, takes the crystal, and she screams and falls back against the wall with a baseball sized burn on her chest. In the hospital, Dr. Hayworth introduces Lt. Plummer (Darwin Jostin) to Drs. Melrose and McCadden. Plummer tries to question Greg Hauser about the circumstances surrounding Ellen's accident and burn. He's in shock and only says one word, "Mummy." The mummy places the first of five recovered crystals on the triangular transmitter/receiver. When he does so electrical appliances in the vacinity begin to malfunction.McCadden has translated the scroll he found with mummified remains of Ankh Venharis. It reads, "because of his unusual appearance, the Egyptians assumed him to be a god...King Tut reached out to touch the weary traveler and was sorely burned with a disease that consumed his flesh." Melrose returns to his lab to do an experiment on the fungus; he discovers X-Rays activate it. He concludes that an X-Ray to check for broken bones on Ellen will do the same to her. He calls to have the X-Ray cancelled, but his call his too late. The X-Ray causes the fungus to spread to her neck and head and kills her. Stanley runs into Susie on the campus. He's interested in her, but she does not reciprocate. He gives her a bracelet with a crystal.It's now Saturday and a Fraternity party with an ancient Egyptian theme is starting. The mummy is back on the prowl (or glide) for another crystal. Bill Vogler is looking for his would be girlfriend, Sarah (Michelle Avonne). She stands him up and he throws the crystal necklace on the ground in disgust. He has second thoughts, and retrieves it only to have the mummy pull it from him. He gives Bill a back hand that knocks him into a wall with tremendous force killing him instantly. The mummy adds the second crystal to his transmitter, which causes a wider spread electrical interference. Jack Parker, who stopped by to see his girlfriend, Jennie, excuses himself to check on the power outage. He discovers a power drain in the campus reactor building, investigates, but is satisfied there is no danger. As he exits he bumps into Dr. Serrano and Capt. Willoughby. The fraternity party moves outside. While Jack Parker walks back to see Jennie, he discovers the body of Bill Vogler just as the party walks by. Lt. Plummer arrives and questions McCadden, then questions Rossmore. After the police leave, Serrano tells Rossmore he believes McCadden stole his own mummy and is waiting to return it to be a hero.The next morning, McCadden and Susie discover the bracelet crystal has something inside. It looks like an electrical diagram. The same pattern was on a piece of material they found with the scroll in the sarcophagus. They ask Jack Parker to examine the crystal and the diagram and he agrees they do look like a wiring schematic. McCadden sends Susie to the Library to do some research. When she arrives, the floor is empty. The mummy is outside. He's attracted to the crystal Susie is wearing on her wrist. He follows her inside and chases her around various floors. She escapes into an elevator and manages to get outside on the roof. She notices it glowing and pulsating. She tries to remove it, but is unsuccessful. The mummy reaches out for the crystal while she is trying to descend a ladder. He gets the crystal, but she falls off the ledge of the library building and is seriously hurt. Fortunately he did not touch her while retrieving the crystal. When she wakes in the hospital, Lt. Plummer is there to question her. She states that the mummy is alive and responsible for the deaths on campus, but he does not believe her. The mummy now has three of the five crystals he needs. He steals a transformer from the Archaeology Building to complete his project. McCadden and Parker find mummy wrappings where the transformer was, and the X-Ray films that Sharpe hid. They confront Sharpe with the evidence. He initially denies any knowledge, then comes clean and tells his story. He still has one crystal left, but admits the remaining one he gave to Sherri. Parker realizes that his girlfriend, Jennie is Sherri's roommate and she is in danger. McCadden now has the fifth crystal. Sharpe tells Parker his girlfriend left it home in the bathroom. Parker rushes over to the house, as does the mummy. McCadden heads for the Reactor Building. The mummy retrieves his fourth crystal, but does not injure Jennie. McCadden notices the mummy's improvised transmitter and adds his crystal to the mechanism. Just then Rossmore, Serrano, and Capt. Willoughby walk in. The mummy arrives at the Reactor Building with crystal number four. He moves McCadden's crystal to the correct location and adds the fifth. The system fires up and the mummy transforms into an alien with large black eyes, and a small nose and mouth. Serrano orders Willoughby to shoot it, but McCadden steps in front of the alien to protect it and is hit by the bullet for his trouble. He is hit in the arm and collapses at the alien's feet. It is now glowing and reaches out with his hand to touch McCadden's hand. They grasp each other's hand and the two disappear, leaving only the glowing crystal that was in the mummy's chest. Serrano races over to retrieve the glowing crystal. He screams and holds up his charred hand. It is burned like all the others that were touched by the fungus or the mummy. The movie concludes with the phrase, "To be Continued."

The film opens with a voiceover (done by producer Martin Scorsese) where it's explained that bettors at racetracks will deliberately bet high on certain horses to lower the odds and earn more money.Lily Dillon (Angelica Houston) works for a Baltimore gangster, Bobo Justus, who has her place such bets on horse races. After collecting the earnings, Lily opens a hidden compartment in the trunk of her car and skims several thousand dollars from the payoffs and hides it among the other money she's stolen from Bobo. One of Bobo's associates calls her in New Mexico and tells her to go to the downs in La Jolla. Lily agrees and says she'll stop by Los Angeles to see her son.In L.A., Roy Dillon (John Cusak), Lily's 25-year-old estranged son, works several small-time cons. One of his tricks is showing a bartender a $20 bill then slyly switching it for a ten, fooling the bartender in to giving him change for a $20. One day, Roy is caught by one of his marks who seizes his arm and jabs him hard in the chest with the end of a club. Roy manages to walk out of the bar and make it home. While he lays in pain in his bed, he dreams of his first meeting with the man, Mintz, who taught him how to con people. Mintz' advice to Roy, and one of his steadfast rules, was to never take a partner in a con - it can only end in ruin.That night Roy's girlfriend, Myra Langtry (Annette Benning), a grifter herself, stops by and they have sex. The next day, Lily shows up at Roy's place and the two have a tense conversation where Roy points out that Lily hasn't contacted him in eight years. The conversation becomes more intense, with Roy feeling great resentment over their falling out. Lily notices that Roy is incredibly ill and feverish and has him taken to a hospital where he's treated for internal bleeding to the injury to his abdomen and lives.Both Lily and Myra visit Roy in the hospital and there is instant animosity between the two. Lily sees Myra as a bad influence and Myra believes there may be an incestuous relationship between mother and son. Lily calls in the young and attractive nurse that's been tending to Roy and tells her son that she'd hired the nurse to take care of Roy after he leaves the hospital. Roy rebuffs the nurse by telling her that his mother hired her so he would have sex with her.Meanwhile, Myra returns to her apartment where the landlord insists she pay her past due rent immediately. She tells him she's good for it as she has always paid up, one way or another. He insists he wants cash this time. She tells him to come in and offers sex instead.Driving back to La Jolla, Lily gets stuck in a traffic jam and misses her chance to fix a race with a potentially large payoff for Bobo. When she leaves the track, she's met by Bobo (Pat Hingle) himself who orders her to take him to his hotel. On the way he asks Lily why she missed the race, she tells him she was taking care of her son, whom Bobo had never known about.At his room, Bobo punches Lily in the stomach and orders her to get him a towel from the bathroom. He gives her a few pounds of oranges and asks her about the insurance scam that people use: when someone is hit repeatedly with a towel full of oranges, they get large bruises used to make insurance claims. If the method is done improperly, then it can cause severe internal damage. Bobo makes as though he's going to beat Lily with the oranges and stops, pinning her to the floor and burning her right hand with a lit cigar instead. Lily later leaves on good terms with Bobo.Roy returns to his apartment and sees Myra. They take a train ride for a weekend getaway and during the trip Roy cheats some sailors at a dice game. Myra sees him at work and later tells him she recognizes his work as a grifter. He refuses to admit what he does at first, but then admits it's true. He asks what's her con, and she says she's a long con. He tells her "you can't do a long con alone", and she tells him a long story about how much money she made with her former partner Cole (J.T. Walsh), but that he finally went insane.Myra follows Lily to the track and covertly observes Lily placing her skimmed profits into the concealed compartment in her car's trunk. Myra tells Roy that she saw his mom at the track and tries to persuade him to join her in the long con. Roy is distrustful of Myra. She visits Roy at his apartment and tells him she's found a good con and she needs $10,000 to fund the con. He doesn't believe her, and she implies he's having an incestuous relationship with his mother. Roy strikes her and orders her to leave.Roy calls his mother Lily and asks to meet with her "as adults". He agrees to drive to her place for a visit that night. Myra exacts her revenge on Roy by making an annymous phone call to Bobo by telling him that Lily has been skimming. A friend in Bobo's organization calls Lily and tips her off that Bobo knows about the skimmed profits she's keeps in her car trunk. She leaves immediately and drives away. Two of Bobo's men show up at her hotel room a few minutes later to find her abandoned belongings and her flashy gold and cream colored Cadillac gone. After they leave to report to Bobo about Lily's dissappearance, Roy arrives at the hotel shortly afterward and also finds his mother has left.After driving most of the night, Lily finds a room at a desert hotel in Arizona and Myra follows her. She uses a master key to get into Lily's room and attacks her while she's asleep in bed.The next day the Phoenix police calls Roy and ask him to come to Phoenix and to the hospital to identify his mother's body, who has died of an apparent self-inflicted gun shot to the face. They need Roy to view the body because they don't have any fingerprints or other identification they can use. Her face is disfigured and unrecognizable, but Roy notices that there's no cigar burn on the corpse's hand. He still confirms to the police that the body is his mother's.When he arrives home, he finds his mother Lilly in the process of packing his money stash, hidden in the back of picture frames, into a suitcase. He confronts her, and she tells him she shot Myra in self-defense and arranged the scene to appear as though Myra's body was actually Lilly's. Lily is trying to make Bobo believe she's dead.Lily insists she needs Roy's money to flee, but Roy tells her she has to get a square job and lay low if she wants to survive. He refuses to let her take his money saying he intends to get out of the rackets too. She tells him she'd go to any length to get free of the rackets. She begs him, then tries to seduce him, and even tells him he's not really her son. Roy is disgusted and rejects her. Lilly angrily swings the suitcase containing the money at him and accidentally hits a drinking glass that breaks and strikes his neck, slashing an artery.Lilly sobs convulsively as she picks his his money up off the floor as her son bleeds to death. Dressed in red dress and shoes, she flees the room, leaving her son to die, and descends in the hotel elevator to the parking lot. She gets into her son's anonymous Plymouth K-car car and drives off into the dark.

The film opens with a voiceover (done by producer Martin Scorsese) where it's explained that bettors at racetracks will deliberately bet high on certain horses to lower the odds and earn more money.Lily Dillon (Angelica Houston) works for a Baltimore gangster, Bobo Justus, who has her place such bets on horse races. After collecting the earnings, Lily opens a hidden compartment in the trunk of her car and skims several thousand dollars from the payoffs and hides it among the other money she's stolen from Bobo. One of Bobo's associates calls her in New Mexico and tells her to go to the downs in La Jolla. Lily agrees and says she'll stop by Los Angeles to see her son.In L.A., Roy Dillon (John Cusak), Lily's 25-year-old estranged son, works several small-time cons. One of his tricks is showing a bartender a $20 bill then slyly switching it for a ten, fooling the bartender in to giving him change for a $20. One day, Roy is caught by one of his marks who seizes his arm and jabs him hard in the chest with the end of a club. Roy manages to walk out of the bar and make it home. While he lays in pain in his bed, he dreams of his first meeting with the man, Mintz, who taught him how to con people. Mintz' advice to Roy, and one of his steadfast rules, was to never take a partner in a con - it can only end in ruin.That night Roy's girlfriend, Myra Langtry (Annette Benning), a grifter herself, stops by and they have sex. The next day, Lily shows up at Roy's place and the two have a tense conversation where Roy points out that Lily hasn't contacted him in eight years. The conversation becomes more intense, with Roy feeling great resentment over their falling out. Lily notices that Roy is incredibly ill and feverish and has him taken to a hospital where he's treated for internal bleeding to the injury to his abdomen and lives.Both Lily and Myra visit Roy in the hospital and there is instant animosity between the two. Lily sees Myra as a bad influence and Myra believes there may be an incestuous relationship between mother and son. Lily calls in the young and attractive nurse that's been tending to Roy and tells her son that she'd hired the nurse to take care of Roy after he leaves the hospital. Roy rebuffs the nurse by telling her that his mother hired her so he would have sex with her.Meanwhile, Myra returns to her apartment where the landlord insists she pay her past due rent immediately. She tells him she's good for it as she has always paid up, one way or another. He insists he wants cash this time. She tells him to come in and offers sex instead.Driving back to La Jolla, Lily gets stuck in a traffic jam and misses her chance to fix a race with a potentially large payoff for Bobo. When she leaves the track, she's met by Bobo (Pat Hingle) himself who orders her to take him to his hotel. On the way he asks Lily why she missed the race, she tells him she was taking care of her son, whom Bobo had never known about.At his room, Bobo punches Lily in the stomach and orders her to get him a towel from the bathroom. He gives her a few pounds of oranges and asks her about the insurance scam that people use: when someone is hit repeatedly with a towel full of oranges, they get large bruises used to make insurance claims. If the method is done improperly, then it can cause severe internal damage. Bobo makes as though he's going to beat Lily with the oranges and stops, pinning her to the floor and burning her right hand with a lit cigar instead. Lily later leaves on good terms with Bobo.Roy returns to his apartment and sees Myra. They take a train ride for a weekend getaway and during the trip Roy cheats some sailors at a dice game. Myra sees him at work and later tells him she recognizes his work as a grifter. He refuses to admit what he does at first, but then admits it's true. He asks what's her con, and she says she's a long con. He tells her "you can't do a long con alone", and she tells him a long story about how much money she made with her former partner Cole (J.T. Walsh), but that he finally went insane.Myra follows Lily to the track and covertly observes Lily placing her skimmed profits into the concealed compartment in her car's trunk. Myra tells Roy that she saw his mom at the track and tries to persuade him to join her in the long con. Roy is distrustful of Myra. She visits Roy at his apartment and tells him she's found a good con and she needs $10,000 to fund the con. He doesn't believe her, and she implies he's having an incestuous relationship with his mother. Roy strikes her and orders her to leave.Roy calls his mother Lily and asks to meet with her "as adults". He agrees to drive to her place for a visit that night. Myra exacts her revenge on Roy by making an annymous phone call to Bobo by telling him that Lily has been skimming. A friend in Bobo's organization calls Lily and tips her off that Bobo knows about the skimmed profits she's keeps in her car trunk. She leaves immediately and drives away. Two of Bobo's men show up at her hotel room a few minutes later to find her abandoned belongings and her flashy gold and cream colored Cadillac gone. After they leave to report to Bobo about Lily's dissappearance, Roy arrives at the hotel shortly afterward and also finds his mother has left.After driving most of the night, Lily finds a room at a desert hotel in Arizona and Myra follows her. She uses a master key to get into Lily's room and attacks her while she's asleep in bed.The next day the Phoenix police calls Roy and ask him to come to Phoenix and to the hospital to identify his mother's body, who has died of an apparent self-inflicted gun shot to the face. They need Roy to view the body because they don't have any fingerprints or other identification they can use. Her face is disfigured and unrecognizable, but Roy notices that there's no cigar burn on the corpse's hand. He still confirms to the police that the body is his mother's.When he arrives home, he finds his mother Lilly in the process of packing his money stash, hidden in the back of picture frames, into a suitcase. He confronts her, and she tells him she shot Myra in self-defense and arranged the scene to appear as though Myra's body was actually Lilly's. Lily is trying to make Bobo believe she's dead.Lily insists she needs Roy's money to flee, but Roy tells her she has to get a square job and lay low if she wants to survive. He refuses to let her take his money saying he intends to get out of the rackets too. She tells him she'd go to any length to get free of the rackets. She begs him, then tries to seduce him, and even tells him he's not really her son. Roy is disgusted and rejects her. Lilly angrily swings the suitcase containing the money at him and accidentally hits a drinking glass that breaks and strikes his neck, slashing an artery.Lilly sobs convulsively as she picks his his money up off the floor as her son bleeds to death.

He gives her a few pounds of oranges and asks her about the insurance scam that people use: when someone is hit repeatedly with a towel full of oranges, they get large bruises used to make insurance claims. If the method is done improperly, then it can cause severe internal damage. Bobo makes as though he's going to beat Lily with the oranges and stops, pinning her to the floor and burning her right hand with a lit cigar instead. Lily later leaves on good terms with Bobo.Roy returns to his apartment and sees Myra. They take a train ride for a weekend getaway and during the trip Roy cheats some sailors at a dice game. Myra sees him at work and later tells him she recognizes his work as a grifter. He refuses to admit what he does at first, but then admits it's true. He asks what's her con, and she says she's a long con. He tells her "you can't do a long con alone", and she tells him a long story about how much money she made with her former partner Cole (J.T. Walsh), but that he finally went insane.Myra follows Lily to the track and covertly observes Lily placing her skimmed profits into the concealed compartment in her car's trunk. Myra tells Roy that she saw his mom at the track and tries to persuade him to join her in the long con. Roy is distrustful of Myra. She visits Roy at his apartment and tells him she's found a good con and she needs $10,000 to fund the con. He doesn't believe her, and she implies he's having an incestuous relationship with his mother. Roy strikes her and orders her to leave.Roy calls his mother Lily and asks to meet with her "as adults". He agrees to drive to her place for a visit that night. Myra exacts her revenge on Roy by making an annymous phone call to Bobo by telling him that Lily has been skimming. A friend in Bobo's organization calls Lily and tips her off that Bobo knows about the skimmed profits she's keeps in her car trunk. She leaves immediately and drives away. Two of Bobo's men show up at her hotel room a few minutes later to find her abandoned belongings and her flashy gold and cream colored Cadillac gone. After they leave to report to Bobo about Lily's dissappearance, Roy arrives at the hotel shortly afterward and also finds his mother has left.After driving most of the night, Lily finds a room at a desert hotel in Arizona and Myra follows her. She uses a master key to get into Lily's room and attacks her while she's asleep in bed.The next day the Phoenix police calls Roy and ask him to come to Phoenix and to the hospital to identify his mother's body, who has died of an apparent self-inflicted gun shot to the face. They need Roy to view the body because they don't have any fingerprints or other identification they can use. Her face is disfigured and unrecognizable, but Roy notices that there's no cigar burn on the corpse's hand. He still confirms to the police that the body is his mother's.When he arrives home, he finds his mother Lilly in the process of packing his money stash, hidden in the back of picture frames, into a suitcase. He confronts her, and she tells him she shot Myra in self-defense and arranged the scene to appear as though Myra's body was actually Lilly's. Lily is trying to make Bobo believe she's dead.Lily insists she needs Roy's money to flee, but Roy tells her she has to get a square job and lay low if she wants to survive. He refuses to let her take his money saying he intends to get out of the rackets too. She tells him she'd go to any length to get free of the rackets. She begs him, then tries to seduce him, and even tells him he's not really her son. Roy is disgusted and rejects her. Lilly angrily swings the suitcase containing the money at him and accidentally hits a drinking glass that breaks and strikes his neck, slashing an artery.Lilly sobs convulsively as she picks his his money up off the floor as her son bleeds to death. Dressed in red dress and shoes, she flees the room, leaving her son to die, and descends in the hotel elevator to the parking lot. She gets into her son's anonymous Plymouth K-car car and drives off into the dark.

The film opens with a voiceover (done by producer Martin Scorsese) where it's explained that bettors at racetracks will deliberately bet high on certain horses to lower the odds and earn more money.Lily Dillon (Angelica Houston) works for a Baltimore gangster, Bobo Justus, who has her place such bets on horse races. After collecting the earnings, Lily opens a hidden compartment in the trunk of her car and skims several thousand dollars from the payoffs and hides it among the other money she's stolen from Bobo. One of Bobo's associates calls her in New Mexico and tells her to go to the downs in La Jolla. Lily agrees and says she'll stop by Los Angeles to see her son.In L.A., Roy Dillon (John Cusak), Lily's 25-year-old estranged son, works several small-time cons. One of his tricks is showing a bartender a $20 bill then slyly switching it for a ten, fooling the bartender in to giving him change for a $20. One day, Roy is caught by one of his marks who seizes his arm and jabs him hard in the chest with the end of a club. Roy manages to walk out of the bar and make it home. While he lays in pain in his bed, he dreams of his first meeting with the man, Mintz, who taught him how to con people. Mintz' advice to Roy, and one of his steadfast rules, was to never take a partner in a con - it can only end in ruin.That night Roy's girlfriend, Myra Langtry (Annette Benning), a grifter herself, stops by and they have sex. The next day, Lily shows up at Roy's place and the two have a tense conversation where Roy points out that Lily hasn't contacted him in eight years. The conversation becomes more intense, with Roy feeling great resentment over their falling out. Lily notices that Roy is incredibly ill and feverish and has him taken to a hospital where he's treated for internal bleeding to the injury to his abdomen and lives.Both Lily and Myra visit Roy in the hospital and there is instant animosity between the two. Lily sees Myra as a bad influence and Myra believes there may be an incestuous relationship between mother and son. Lily calls in the young and attractive nurse that's been tending to Roy and tells her son that she'd hired the nurse to take care of Roy after he leaves the hospital. Roy rebuffs the nurse by telling her that his mother hired her so he would have sex with her.Meanwhile, Myra returns to her apartment where the landlord insists she pay her past due rent immediately. She tells him she's good for it as she has always paid up, one way or another. He insists he wants cash this time. She tells him to come in and offers sex instead.Driving back to La Jolla, Lily gets stuck in a traffic jam and misses her chance to fix a race with a potentially large payoff for Bobo.

The film opens with a voiceover (done by producer Martin Scorsese) where it's explained that bettors at racetracks will deliberately bet high on certain horses to lower the odds and earn more money.Lily Dillon (Angelica Houston) works for a Baltimore gangster, Bobo Justus, who has her place such bets on horse races. After collecting the earnings, Lily opens a hidden compartment in the trunk of her car and skims several thousand dollars from the payoffs and hides it among the other money she's stolen from Bobo. One of Bobo's associates calls her in New Mexico and tells her to go to the downs in La Jolla. Lily agrees and says she'll stop by Los Angeles to see her son.In L.A., Roy Dillon (John Cusak), Lily's 25-year-old estranged son, works several small-time cons. One of his tricks is showing a bartender a $20 bill then slyly switching it for a ten, fooling the bartender in to giving him change for a $20. One day, Roy is caught by one of his marks who seizes his arm and jabs him hard in the chest with the end of a club. Roy manages to walk out of the bar and make it home. While he lays in pain in his bed, he dreams of his first meeting with the man, Mintz, who taught him how to con people. Mintz' advice to Roy, and one of his steadfast rules, was to never take a partner in a con - it can only end in ruin.That night Roy's girlfriend, Myra Langtry (Annette Benning), a grifter herself, stops by and they have sex. The next day, Lily shows up at Roy's place and the two have a tense conversation where Roy points out that Lily hasn't contacted him in eight years. The conversation becomes more intense, with Roy feeling great resentment over their falling out. Lily notices that Roy is incredibly ill and feverish and has him taken to a hospital where he's treated for internal bleeding to the injury to his abdomen and lives.Both Lily and Myra visit Roy in the hospital and there is instant animosity between the two. Lily sees Myra as a bad influence and Myra believes there may be an incestuous relationship between mother and son. Lily calls in the young and attractive nurse that's been tending to Roy and tells her son that she'd hired the nurse to take care of Roy after he leaves the hospital. Roy rebuffs the nurse by telling her that his mother hired her so he would have sex with her.Meanwhile, Myra returns to her apartment where the landlord insists she pay her past due rent immediately. She tells him she's good for it as she has always paid up, one way or another. He insists he wants cash this time. She tells him to come in and offers sex instead.Driving back to La Jolla, Lily gets stuck in a traffic jam and misses her chance to fix a race with a potentially large payoff for Bobo. When she leaves the track, she's met by Bobo (Pat Hingle) himself who orders her to take him to his hotel. On the way he asks Lily why she missed the race, she tells him she was taking care of her son, whom Bobo had never known about.At his room, Bobo punches Lily in the stomach and orders her to get him a towel from the bathroom. He gives her a few pounds of oranges and asks her about the insurance scam that people use: when someone is hit repeatedly with a towel full of oranges, they get large bruises used to make insurance claims. If the method is done improperly, then it can cause severe internal damage. Bobo makes as though he's going to beat Lily with the oranges and stops, pinning her to the floor and burning her right hand with a lit cigar instead. Lily later leaves on good terms with Bobo.Roy returns to his apartment and sees Myra. They take a train ride for a weekend getaway and during the trip Roy cheats some sailors at a dice game. Myra sees him at work and later tells him she recognizes his work as a grifter. He refuses to admit what he does at first, but then admits it's true. He asks what's her con, and she says she's a long con. He tells her "you can't do a long con alone", and she tells him a long story about how much money she made with her former partner Cole (J.T. Walsh), but that he finally went insane.Myra follows Lily to the track and covertly observes Lily placing her skimmed profits into the concealed compartment in her car's trunk. Myra tells Roy that she saw his mom at the track and tries to persuade him to join her in the long con. Roy is distrustful of Myra. She visits Roy at his apartment and tells him she's found a good con and she needs $10,000 to fund the con. He doesn't believe her, and she implies he's having an incestuous relationship with his mother. Roy strikes her and orders her to leave.Roy calls his mother Lily and asks to meet with her "as adults". He agrees to drive to her place for a visit that night. Myra exacts her revenge on Roy by making an annymous phone call to Bobo by telling him that Lily has been skimming. A friend in Bobo's organization calls Lily and tips her off that Bobo knows about the skimmed profits she's keeps in her car trunk. She leaves immediately and drives away. Two of Bobo's men show up at her hotel room a few minutes later to find her abandoned belongings and her flashy gold and cream colored Cadillac gone. After they leave to report to Bobo about Lily's dissappearance, Roy arrives at the hotel shortly afterward and also finds his mother has left.After driving most of the night, Lily finds a room at a desert hotel in Arizona and Myra follows her. She uses a master key to get into Lily's room and attacks her while she's asleep in bed.The next day the Phoenix police calls Roy and ask him to come to Phoenix and to the hospital to identify his mother's body, who has died of an apparent self-inflicted gun shot to the face. They need Roy to view the body because they don't have any fingerprints or other identification they can use. Her face is disfigured and unrecognizable, but Roy notices that there's no cigar burn on the corpse's hand. He still confirms to the police that the body is his mother's.When he arrives home, he finds his mother Lilly in the process of packing his money stash, hidden in the back of picture frames, into a suitcase. He confronts her, and she tells him she shot Myra in self-defense and arranged the scene to appear as though Myra's body was actually Lilly's. Lily is trying to make Bobo believe she's dead.Lily insists she needs Roy's money to flee, but Roy tells her she has to get a square job and lay low if she wants to survive. He refuses to let her take his money saying he intends to get out of the rackets too. She tells him she'd go to any length to get free of the rackets. She begs him, then tries to seduce him, and even tells him he's not really her son. Roy is disgusted and rejects her.

On the way he asks Lily why she missed the race, she tells him she was taking care of her son, whom Bobo had never known about.At his room, Bobo punches Lily in the stomach and orders her to get him a towel from the bathroom. He gives her a few pounds of oranges and asks her about the insurance scam that people use: when someone is hit repeatedly with a towel full of oranges, they get large bruises used to make insurance claims. If the method is done improperly, then it can cause severe internal damage. Bobo makes as though he's going to beat Lily with the oranges and stops, pinning her to the floor and burning her right hand with a lit cigar instead. Lily later leaves on good terms with Bobo.Roy returns to his apartment and sees Myra. They take a train ride for a weekend getaway and during the trip Roy cheats some sailors at a dice game. Myra sees him at work and later tells him she recognizes his work as a grifter. He refuses to admit what he does at first, but then admits it's true. He asks what's her con, and she says she's a long con. He tells her "you can't do a long con alone", and she tells him a long story about how much money she made with her former partner Cole (J.T. Walsh), but that he finally went insane.Myra follows Lily to the track and covertly observes Lily placing her skimmed profits into the concealed compartment in her car's trunk. Myra tells Roy that she saw his mom at the track and tries to persuade him to join her in the long con. Roy is distrustful of Myra. She visits Roy at his apartment and tells him she's found a good con and she needs $10,000 to fund the con. He doesn't believe her, and she implies he's having an incestuous relationship with his mother. Roy strikes her and orders her to leave.Roy calls his mother Lily and asks to meet with her "as adults". He agrees to drive to her place for a visit that night. Myra exacts her revenge on Roy by making an annymous phone call to Bobo by telling him that Lily has been skimming. A friend in Bobo's organization calls Lily and tips her off that Bobo knows about the skimmed profits she's keeps in her car trunk. She leaves immediately and drives away. Two of Bobo's men show up at her hotel room a few minutes later to find her abandoned belongings and her flashy gold and cream colored Cadillac gone. After they leave to report to Bobo about Lily's dissappearance, Roy arrives at the hotel shortly afterward and also finds his mother has left.After driving most of the night, Lily finds a room at a desert hotel in Arizona and Myra follows her. She uses a master key to get into Lily's room and attacks her while she's asleep in bed.The next day the Phoenix police calls Roy and ask him to come to Phoenix and to the hospital to identify his mother's body, who has died of an apparent self-inflicted gun shot to the face. They need Roy to view the body because they don't have any fingerprints or other identification they can use. Her face is disfigured and unrecognizable, but Roy notices that there's no cigar burn on the corpse's hand. He still confirms to the police that the body is his mother's.When he arrives home, he finds his mother Lilly in the process of packing his money stash, hidden in the back of picture frames, into a suitcase. He confronts her, and she tells him she shot Myra in self-defense and arranged the scene to appear as though Myra's body was actually Lilly's. Lily is trying to make Bobo believe she's dead.Lily insists she needs Roy's money to flee, but Roy tells her she has to get a square job and lay low if she wants to survive. He refuses to let her take his money saying he intends to get out of the rackets too. She tells him she'd go to any length to get free of the rackets. She begs him, then tries to seduce him, and even tells him he's not really her son. Roy is disgusted and rejects her. Lilly angrily swings the suitcase containing the money at him and accidentally hits a drinking glass that breaks and strikes his neck, slashing an artery.Lilly sobs convulsively as she picks his his money up off the floor as her son bleeds to death. Dressed in red dress and shoes, she flees the room, leaving her son to die, and descends in the hotel elevator to the parking lot. She gets into her son's anonymous Plymouth K-car car and drives off into the dark.

The film opens with a voiceover (done by producer Martin Scorsese) where it's explained that bettors at racetracks will deliberately bet high on certain horses to lower the odds and earn more money.Lily Dillon (Angelica Houston) works for a Baltimore gangster, Bobo Justus, who has her place such bets on horse races. After collecting the earnings, Lily opens a hidden compartment in the trunk of her car and skims several thousand dollars from the payoffs and hides it among the other money she's stolen from Bobo. One of Bobo's associates calls her in New Mexico and tells her to go to the downs in La Jolla. Lily agrees and says she'll stop by Los Angeles to see her son.In L.A., Roy Dillon (John Cusak), Lily's 25-year-old estranged son, works several small-time cons. One of his tricks is showing a bartender a $20 bill then slyly switching it for a ten, fooling the bartender in to giving him change for a $20. One day, Roy is caught by one of his marks who seizes his arm and jabs him hard in the chest with the end of a club. Roy manages to walk out of the bar and make it home. While he lays in pain in his bed, he dreams of his first meeting with the man, Mintz, who taught him how to con people. Mintz' advice to Roy, and one of his steadfast rules, was to never take a partner in a con - it can only end in ruin.That night Roy's girlfriend, Myra Langtry (Annette Benning), a grifter herself, stops by and they have sex. The next day, Lily shows up at Roy's place and the two have a tense conversation where Roy points out that Lily hasn't contacted him in eight years. The conversation becomes more intense, with Roy feeling great resentment over their falling out. Lily notices that Roy is incredibly ill and feverish and has him taken to a hospital where he's treated for internal bleeding to the injury to his abdomen and lives.Both Lily and Myra visit Roy in the hospital and there is instant animosity between the two. Lily sees Myra as a bad influence and Myra believes there may be an incestuous relationship between mother and son. Lily calls in the young and attractive nurse that's been tending to Roy and tells her son that she'd hired the nurse to take care of Roy after he leaves the hospital. Roy rebuffs the nurse by telling her that his mother hired her so he would have sex with her.Meanwhile, Myra returns to her apartment where the landlord insists she pay her past due rent immediately. She tells him she's good for it as she has always paid up, one way or another. He insists he wants cash this time.

Lilly angrily swings the suitcase containing the money at him and accidentally hits a drinking glass that breaks and strikes his neck, slashing an artery.Lilly sobs convulsively as she picks his his money up off the floor as her son bleeds to death. Dressed in red dress and shoes, she flees the room, leaving her son to die, and descends in the hotel elevator to the parking lot. She gets into her son's anonymous Plymouth K-car car and drives off into the dark.

The year is 1965, and 10-year-old Sandra and her parents, Abraham and Sannie, are white Afrikaners. Her parents are shopkeepers in a remote area of the Eastern Transvaal and, despite Sandra's mixed-race appearance, have lovingly brought her up as their white little girl. Sandra is sent to a boarding school in the neighbouring town of Piet Retief, where her (white) brother Leon is also studying, but parents of other students and teachers complain that she does not belong.
She is examined by State officials, reclassified as coloured, and expelled from the school. Sandra's parents are shocked, but Abraham fights through the courts to have the classification reversed. The story becomes an international scandal and media pressure forces the law to change, so that Sandra is classified as officially white again.
By the time she is 17, Sandra realises she is never going to be accepted by the white community. She falls in love with Petrus, a young black man and the local vegetable seller, and begins an illicit love affair. Abraham threatens to shoot Petrus and disown Sandra. Sannie is torn between her husband's rage and her daughter's predicament. Sandra elopes with Petrus to Swaziland. Abraham alerts the police, and has them arrested and put in prison for the illegal border crossing. Sandra is released by the local magistrate to return home with her parents, but she decides to return to Petrus, as she is pregnant with his child. Her father disowns her.
Now Sandra must live her life as a coloured woman in South Africa for the first time, restricted to housing with no running water and no sanitation, and struggling on little income. Although she feels more at home in this community, she desperately misses her parents and yearns for a reunion. She and her mother make attempts to communicate, but are consistently thwarted by Sandra's father. Late in his life, when he is too sick to act on his own, he reconsiders and asks his wife to take him to visit Sandra. Sandra's mother, angry that his new-found guilt had surfaced only after he had for 10 years stubbornly ignored her own emotional torment and longing for a reunion, refuses his request and says that neither of them deserves Sandra's forgiveness.
Eventually, Sandra's marriage to Petrus deteriorates and he becomes physically abusive. She leaves him, taking their two children with her. She looks for her parents but finds they had since moved from her childhood home. Not knowing where they are, she continues with her life, raising her children by herself. She marries again and has three more children; they are all classified as "coloured".
When the county's apartheid government comes to an end, there is renewed interest in her story by the media. Sandra's mother sees Sandra interviewed on television and writes to her to tell her of her father's death two years earlier. The letter provides no return address nor any other clue as to Sannie's whereabouts, but receiving it prompts Sandra to renew her search. Eventually, she finds her mother living in a nursing home and the two are happily reunited.
An epilogue tells that Sandra's mother died in 2001, and her two brothers continue to refuse to see her or her family.

A young bride of a rich tea plantation owner tries to cope with life in Ceylon (now Indonesia) with her new husband. Bride Ruth (Elizabeth Taylor) comes to realize that her groom John Wiley (Peter Finch) still lives in the shadow of his late father, the "Governor." Every weekend John hosts all the planters from the area for three-day stag parties involving non-stop alcohol consumption and indoor bicycle polo. Ruth is the first non-native woman to be seen in the area in two years, and only Elephant Walk Plantation overseer Richard "Dick" Carver (Dana Andrews) can provide a listening ear. But after rebuffing Dick's advances, he leaves for Paris. However, John breaks his leg before the next plane out, so Dick returns to take up the slack. Ruth learns the plantation is named for the fact that it sits astride a major pachyderm trail. In the midst of a severe drought, cholera breaks out. The plantation is quarantined, and the natives who serve as "beaters" to keep the elephants away fall ill or desert the Wiley homestead. A herd of elephants breaks into the main house, setting it on fire while Ruth (exhausted from fighting the epidemic) is napping. Back on his feet, a reformed John rushes in to carry Ruth to safety. He promises to build Ruth a new place, "somewhere else."

He promises to build Ruth a new place, "somewhere else."

A young bride of a rich tea plantation owner tries to cope with life in Ceylon (now Indonesia) with her new husband. Bride Ruth (Elizabeth Taylor) comes to realize that her groom John Wiley (Peter Finch) still lives in the shadow of his late father, the "Governor." Every weekend John hosts all the planters from the area for three-day stag parties involving non-stop alcohol consumption and indoor bicycle polo. Ruth is the first non-native woman to be seen in the area in two years, and only Elephant Walk Plantation overseer Richard "Dick" Carver (Dana Andrews) can provide a listening ear. But after rebuffing Dick's advances, he leaves for Paris. However, John breaks his leg before the next plane out, so Dick returns to take up the slack. Ruth learns the plantation is named for the fact that it sits astride a major pachyderm trail. In the midst of a severe drought, cholera breaks out. The plantation is quarantined, and the natives who serve as "beaters" to keep the elephants away fall ill or desert the Wiley homestead. A herd of elephants breaks into the main house, setting it on fire while Ruth (exhausted from fighting the epidemic) is napping. Back on his feet, a reformed John rushes in to carry Ruth to safety. He promises to build Ruth a new place, "somewhere else."
