The super-villain who calls himself King Tut is an ex-Yale scholar of Egyptology who sustained a head wound during a student riot and now believes that he is the King of the Nile. He also plans to take over Gotham City, believing it to be a modern-day ancient Thebes, and make it his own. Batman and Robin are called to the scene when an enormous Sphinx is plopped into the middle of Gotham's Central Park. From within the Sphinx Tut begins making his demands, including the demise of The Dynamic Duo! The Duo's attempts to break into the structure prove fruitless, and they become involved in frantic fisticuffs with King Tut's "Tutlings.”
In the guise of debonair Bruce Wayne, Batman pays a publicized visit to the Egyptian exhibit at the Gotham Museum in the hopes of trapping Tut and his sidekicks, Nefertiti, Vizier and Scrivener. During the tour, creepy signs of life from an ancient mummy cause the crowd to scatter. Wayne calls for a doctor but the ambulance that arrives is driven by Tut's henchmen. Tut turns the tables and Wayne is seized and substituted for the “mummy” on the stretcher, which was really Tut all along. Wayne is strapped to a gurney and loaded onto the back of the ambulance which maneuvers down a long, winding road. During a sharp turn, the gurney carrying Bruce breaks free, but his attempt to escape goes horribly awry: he winds up hurtling toward the edge of a 300-foot-deep precipice on the runaway stretcher!!
