Summoned by mysterious, telepathic forces, the beautiful Carol, who seems to have no memory as to her true identity, is determined that she must get to the lost city of Kuma and death is the reward for anyone who tries to stop her. In the city, she is awaited by Killikrates, now immortal thanks to the effects of bathing in the sacred flame. He has been persuaded that Carol is the reincarnation of his lost love Ayesha, but is she really ‘She’ or just a normal young woman chosen at random by someone who wishes to exploit Killikrates’ obsession?
