Summary

In The Mummy Returns there are characters who once lived in the
past, in ancient Egypt. They are now living in the modern world.
The archeologist, Evelyn O’Connell, (who was Nefertiri in the past)
is married to the archeologist Rick O’Connell (an important man in
the past with great powers). They met in Egypt in 1923 when they
were working in temples in Egypt and found the mummy of
Imhotep, who had been sleeping for 3,000 years. When Imhotep
woke up, he tried to kill Evelyn, but Rick saved her. Then Rick and
Evelyn returned to England, they married and had a son, Alex.
Now it is 1933 and they are back in Egypt with Alex, who is eight
years old. They are looking for the Bracelet of Anubis. Anubis is a
god of the dead and his bracelet gives great power to anyone who
wears it. The Scorpion King has the bracelet. He did not die 6,000
years ago because he had the bracelet. Now he will be waking up
very soon in the Year of the Scorpion. He wants to control the world
and kill everyone unless someone can kill him first.
Meela, whose name in the past was Anck-su-namun and Lock-
Nah also want the bracelet. He wants to rule the world. Meela
wants to wake up Imhotep, who was her lover. They have help from
three men who are there when Evelyn finds The Scorpion King’s
box, with the bracelet in it. They take the box back to England, but
the three men follow them. They kidnap Evelyn. However it is Alex
who has the bracelet on his arm. There are great chases through
the streets of London, with Evelyn’s brother Jonathan driving and
Evelyn is nearly killed inside the British Museum.
Imhotep wakes up and there are other mummies too. There are
terrible battles. Alex, still wearing the bracelet, is taken by a
mummy back to Egypt and he is forced to lead Meela and Lock-
Nah to the resting place of the Scorpion King. Rick’s ancient friend,
Ardeth Bay and his soldiers help the O’Connells and Rick’s friend
Izzy takes them across Egypt in a balloon to help them find Alex.
Alex gets the bracelet off and they throw it away. It has caused a
lot of trouble! Meela meets Evelyn, but really they are Anck-sunamun
and Neferiti again. They fight together and Rick and
Imhotep are also fighting. There were battles between soldiers of
Anubis and the guards of the mummies. In the end, Imhotep and
the Scorpion King both die. Anck-su-namun also dies when
thousands of scorpions eat her. Rick, Evelyn and Alex left in Izzy’s
balloon and return home.
