In 1911 Egypt, archaeology professor Marcus Scarman excavates a [[Egyptian pyramids|pyramid]] and finds the door to the burial chamber is inscribed with the [[Eye of Horus]]. He enters the chamber and is hit by a beam of green light.

The [[Fourth Doctor]] is pulled off his flight path, and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] sees an apparition  in the console room. The two are found by a butler, who reveals they are in the Scarman estate, which has been taken over by the mysterious Ibrahim Namin, claiming to represent Scarman. Scarman's friend, Dr Warlock, has also arrived at the estate to demand an explanation on Scarman's whereabouts. Namin threatens Warlock with a revolver, with the Doctor and Sarah barely managing to save him. The three escape and reach the estate lodge inhabited by Scarman's brother Laurence, whose [[radio telescope|marconiscope]] intercepted a signal from [[Mars]].

The Doctor decodes the signal as "Beware Sutekh", explaining that Sutekh is the last of a powerful [[extraterrestrial life|alien]] race called the Osirans. Imprisoned by his brother [[Horus]], using the Eye of Horus, they were the inspiration for ancient [[Egyptian mythology]]. Sutekh's servant arrives via a spacetime tunnel portal, accompanied by robots disguised as mummies. He kills Namin and is revealed to be Scarman, now a corpse animated by Sutekh's will. Scarman secures the estate's perimeter with a forcefield, and begins to hunt down the humans. Scarman finds and kills Warlock, but is then ordered by Sutekh to prioritise the construction of an Osirian war missile aimed at Mars.

Following another attack by the robots, the Doctor decides to blow up the rocket, and Laurence suggests using [[gelignite]], kept in the poacher's hut. The Doctor and Sarah Jane leave to obtain the gelignite. Scarman soon arrives at the lodge, and Laurence attempts to rekindle his brother's humanity, but gets strangled instead. The Doctor sets up the explosives, with Sarah Jane detonating it with a rifle. Sutekh [[Psychokinesis|telekinetically]] suppresses the explosion. Left with but one option, the Doctor uses the space-time tunnel to reach Sutekh and break his concentration, allowing the explosion to destroy the rocket. A furious Sutekh turns the Doctor into a [[wikt:thrall|thrall]] to transport Scarman to Mars.

Arriving on Mars, Scarman strangles the Doctor. However, the Doctor's respiratory bypass system allows him to recover and become free of Sutekh's control. He is however unable to stop Scarman from destroying the Eye, and Scarman disintegrates. The Doctor realises that Sutekh will not be released instantaneously due to the travel time required for the Eye's radio signal. Returning to the estate, he uses the TARDIS to extend the time tunnel into the far future, eventually resulting in Sutekh dying of old age before he reaches the end. This overloads the portal, the estate is consumed in flames, and the Doctor and Sarah flee in the TARDIS.
