PlotDuring World War II, a cache of Nazi gold is buried in the African desert. Years later, an expedition to retrieve the treasure is launched by a group of treasure hunters led by Robert Blabert, a young man whose father discovered the oasis where the gold lies hidden. Alongside Robert, a motley crew sets out on the quest, including his friends and a knowledgeable guide. Their journey takes them through treacherous landscapes, hostile locals, and the harsh desert climate, all while being pursued by other interested parties also after the gold.
As they reach the desolate oasis, the group encounters unexpected dangers when they discover that the site is protected by a horde of zombie soldiers. These undead guardians, remnants of the fallen Nazi regiment, rise from their sandy graves to protect the treasure from being unearthed. Faced with relentless attacks from the zombies and under the threat of betrayal from within, the group struggles to survive and complete their mission. The haunting atmosphere of the oasis adds to the terror as they navigate the ancient evil lurking beneath the sands.
