Based loosely on the hit movies The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, the O’Connells find themselves being chased around the world by the undead corrupt High Priest, Imhotep, and his lackey, Colin Weasler, while trying to get the Manacle of Osiris off Alex’s wrist. This takes their trip across the world, trying to locate the lost scrolls of Thebes, the only things that can remove the manacle. However, the scrolls had to be destroyed to prevent Imhotep from possessing the manacle. Now in the second season, Alex is trained as a Medjai to combat the mummy as well as facing new threats along the way.

Imhotep comes by, gets beaten, then plans for revenge with Thoth. Then they infect Alex with the Spring of Evil after Thoth awakens it. Alex is so over-confident that he tries to beat two mutated Rhinos all by himself. Instead Alex almost kills everyone and the Jeep is totalled. Later, in the building, Alex gets infected by the Spring again. Under the control of the Dark Side, Alex fights against Rick in one on one combat. Then Rick convinces Alex that he doesn’t have to be possessed. With a few sticks of dynamite, some rope, and a few fast feet, Ardeth and everyone is safe and sound. That is except Imhotep and Thoth.
