George Sanders, fresh out of prison, has developed a plan to steal King Tut's jewels, worth a fortune. He enlists an old friend and then gets in contact with a small group of men. Unfortunately for these guys, there are lots of pitfalls along the way because of the human element, mostly that of greed. The guy who is going to finance the operation and the fencing of the artifacts, turns out to want the whole thing. The deed is done but a stray bullet takes out one of the men. There are others who want in and we also have an unstable man who is explosive and dangerous to himself an others. When it's all over, one wonders why he bothered. Even Sanders is sort of blah.
