Tad accidentally unleashes an ancient spell, endangering the lives of his friends Mummy, Jeff, and Belzoni. With everyone against him and only helped by Sara, he sets off on an adventure to end the Curse of the Mummy.

Tad dreams of becoming an archaeologist traveling the world, uncovering hidden secrets and lost treasure, but his job working construction keeps him daydreaming instead of exploring.

Den hensynsløse multimillionæren Richard Carson benytter seg av det faktum at førti prosent av verdens befolkning ikke tror at mennesket har satt foten på månen, når han planlegger å gjøre krav på den og utnytte fremtidens kilde til ren energi, helium 3. Han har tenkt å viske ut bragden til Apollo 11-astronautene fra historien. Og det eneste som kan stoppe ham er verken NASA eller USAs president, men den tolv år gamle surferen Mike Goldwing. Ved hjelp av vennene sine - nerden Marty, journalistemnet Amy og en liten salamander som tror den er Godzilla - reiser de til månen.

Det er opp til Mike ikke bare å redde jordens fremtid, men også fremtiden til hans egen familie.

Jeff, Tad's dog, and Belzoni, Sara's parrot, must guard the ancient hand of Queen Nefertiti at the Metropolitan Archaeological Museum.
