The moon rises at a predestined angle and awakens the sleeping Dr. Phibes in 1928, three years after the events of the previous movie. To his dismay, he finds that his house has been demolished and his papyrus scrolls stolen, the scrolls he needs to find the Pharaoh's Tomb in Egypt, where the River of Life flows. After identifying the source of the papyrus theft, he packs and leaves for Egypt with his assistant Vulnavia - whose face displays no effects from the acid shower she received at the end of the previous film (although the character is now played by a different actress, Valli Kemp). His primary goal is the awakening of his dead wife, Victoria. The thieves of Phibes' scrolls suffer an attrition problem as Inspectors Trout and Waverly chase Phibes across the world. The party is led by Beiderbeck (Robert Quarry, best known for playing Count Yorga). Although he looks young, he is several hundred years old and wants to find the River of Life in order to stay alive and be with his lover Diana (Fiona Lewis) forever. This time Phibes' murders all have an Egyptian theme to them; for example, one character is sand-blasted to death. Other deaths include someone being stung to death by scorpions, being eaten by an eagle (in the original script impaled by a gold eagle in the same way a doctor in The Abominable Dr. Phibes was impaled by a golden unicorn), and a golden snake piercing someone's skull. At the climax, Beiderbeck sacrifices his life in order to save Diana. The film ends with Phibes riding a raft down the River of Life with Victoria, while singing "Over the Rainbow" (which is strange, as this film is set in 1928 but "Over The Rainbow" wasn't written until 1938). It is left ambiguous whether Victoria is resurrected or not, although a picture inside the DVD shows her in the raft with her eyes open and smiling at the camera

萨卢斯特（louis de funes）是位粗暴无礼、贪婪爱财的却又爱听奉承的西班牙贵族老爷，他的仆人则贫穷善良。由于一次宫廷阴谋，萨卢斯特失去了恩宠特权，于是他心生报复之心。与此同时，他的仆人爱上了德裔王后，他便有机可乘…… 本片是funes继《虎口脱险》之后的一部大作，其二号男主角则是法国演员伊夫蒙当，导演是法国大名鼎鼎的喜剧天才--乌里（《虎口脱险》就是他编剧的，他一手捧红了当时名不见经传的funes）。。。由于funes非常擅长刻画贪财势利的讽刺角色，使得本片具有极强的观赏性。并且区别于其他同题材喜剧，该片在一定程度上使用了超现实的创作手法，算得上是一部超现实喜剧/戏剧。如果你喜欢具有西班牙宫廷贵族文化、文艺复兴建筑、中世纪宗教裁判、各种仪式、弗拉明戈舞、骑士、荒漠……还有funes的表演风格，就一定不要错过这部非常传统纯正的法国经典喜剧。
