Plot
A young Catherine Langford embarks on an adventure to unlock the mystery of the Stargate. In 1938, Catherine and her father examine the gate at a warehouse near Giza. Nazi cultist Wilhelm Brücke arrives with his team and takes them hostage. He reveals that he knows how to use the gate, and forces Professor Langford to go through the gate with them. Catherine overpowers her guard and seeks the help of her friends Captain James Beal and Wasif, an Egyptian serving in the British army, convincing them to go through the gate with her to rescue her father. They arrive in a temple, in a desert on planet Abydos. It is controlled by Aset, a demi-god, who was resurrected by Ra, but is now rebelling against him. There, they fight with Aset's female guard Serqet before meeting a young native named Kasuf. Catherine tries to activate the Stargate to return home, but lacks the right combination of symbols on the dial-up device. Brücke shows Aset a Nazi propaganda film and makes a deal with her that he will take powerful metal, named Naquadah, back to Earth in exchange for thousands of slaves, "undesirables" to the Nazi regime, for her fight to overthrow Ra. Aset alienates the local tribesmen, her faithful servants and demands one of them fight Brücke's soldier, Stefan to death to "prove their worth". After Stefan is close to defeat, Brücke kills him and the local man fighting him. This causes Eva, Brücke's camera operator, to question the morality of her boss. Befriended by the native tribesmen, Catherine is taken to a hidden cave and shown the symbols which activate the stargate from that end. Encouraged by Langford who has been interpreting, Aset breaks with Brücke, who is killed by Eva, takes pity on Langford and Catherine, and wipes their memories. She also brainwashes Kasuf to return to his people as their new leader and Catherine to assemble a team of people who will return to the planet and overthrow Ra. Ra, informed by Serqet about Aset's defiance (including her illegal harcesis child), arrives, sends Serqet to capture Catherine and her father, brainwashes Wasif and his Abydonian friend Motawk to become his guards, and destroys the temple together with Aset. Captain Beal activates the Stargate and sends both Professor Langford and Catherine back home, but is killed by Serqet. Back on Earth and having no memory of their adventures since before the Nazis arrived, Langford and Catherine wrap up their investigation of the Stargate as the US takes possession of it. Catherine wonders about the nugget of strange metal in her possession and knows she'll be dealing with the Stargate again.Cast
