Vicky Bliss, a young American historian who works at the National Museum in Munich, is pulled into working as a guest lecturer on an Egyptian luxury cruise tour on the Nile. Intelligence reports indicate that someone on the tour is planning to rob the Cairo Museum. Vicky's job is to see if she recognizes anyone on the cruise who is a likely suspect, since she has had previous adventures escaping from antiquity thieves. Once the tour is underway, she sees John, a former lover who's also a lovable thief, and she suspects he is the probable robber-to-be. Shocked when she learns he has recently married, she tries to avoid him while interacting with the others on the tour.After the murder of a secret operative who was on board the ship to protect her, it rapidly becomes a challenge to decide who is friend and who is foe. The only one she can really trust is her boss from the museum, Schmidt, who joins the tour late. After more mishaps cancel the rest of the tour, Vicky's life is a series of calamities as she crosses Egypt in an attempt to get back to Cairo before the thief leaves Egypt with a humongous cache of antiquities.
