"Land of the Pharaohs"

Starring: Jack Hawkins, Joan Collins, Dewey Martin

In ancient Egypt the Pharaoh Khufu (Jack Hawkins) is obsessed with acquiring gold and plans to take it all with him into the "second life". To this end he enlists the aid of Vashtar (James Robertson Justice), an architect whose people he has enslaved in Egypt. The agreement is to build a robber-proof tomb in exchange for the slaves' release, although Vashtar will have to die when the pyramid-tomb is finished to preserve the secret of its construction against tomb robbers. During the years that the pyramid is being built, the pharaoh demands tribute from all the territories. Nellifer (Joan Collins) is the princess and ambassador of the tributary province of Cyprus. Nellifer says that her province is poor and cannot afford to pay the tribute of grain—so she offers herself to the pharaoh instead. Nellifer becomes the pharaoh's second wife. In the meantime Nellifer tries on a necklace. It is part of Pharaoh's vast treasure that he plans to have entombed with him, so he refuses to give it to her.

She plots to assassinate the Queen and take her place, and then to kill Khufu and take the treasure for herself. She succeeds in these murders. During the pharoah's funeral the High Priest has Nellifer accompany him into the sepulchre because she "must give the order" to seal the sarcophagus. When her order is obeyed, it releases a large stone in a lower chamber, letting it slide down a ramp to trigger Vashtar's mechanism to seal the tomb. Slowly the sands of the vaults run out, letting massive counterweight stones drop and close every exit before her. Nellifer realizes that she is trapped inside with the gold, while the priest, telling her "there's no way out," adds that this is the kingdom for which she schemed and murdered...
