Plot edit
Professor Thompson stumbles on to an Egyptian Pharaoh Apestophis who has travelled forward in time with a miniature pyramid-shaped time-travelling device. Thompson and his short Russian friend Boris subsequently agrees to help him get back to his time. Meanwhile, German explorer Frida von Krugen learns of the device and with the help of her flat-headed scientist husband Otto, tries to get it away from the pharaoh. Trouble ensures as the struggle over the pyramid takes them to various points in history.
