In 12th Dynasty Egypt, 4000 years ago, Princess Taia of Thebes was the beloved fiance of Prince Amentep a.k.a. Ibis the Invincible. Her fiance was imprisoned by his rival the evil magician the Black Pharaoh.
However while Ibis is imprisoned a relative gives him the "Ibistick," a magic wand with which the user can control or create any object. Ibis uses his newly gained powers to escape from jail and then defeat the Black Pharaoh. Unfortunately Taia, was wounded during the final battle by an enchanted arrow. Ibis learns this puts her under a spell, she will not die but will sleep for 40 centuries so Ibis puts himself in a trance as well, to be with her when she awakens.
In 1940, Ibis awoke as a mummy in wrappings and residing in an American museum. After awakening, he goes to Egypt, awakens Princess Taia, and they embark on a quest to fight crime and evil.
