This is the thrilling tale as told by Allan Quatermain of events in his life, or should we say his lives? By the use of a mystical herb, he is transported to a time when he was an Egyptian hunter and warrior fighting to free Egypt from the bonds of the Easterns and to win the heart of the lovely Amada.

We also see the necessity of bravery in dealing with enemy forces as well as our love interests. - Summary by Keith Salis
