The moon rises at a predestined angle and awakens the sleeping Dr. Phibes in 1928, three years after the events of the previous movie. To his dismay, he finds that his house has been demolished and his papyrus scrolls stolen, the scrolls he needs to find the Pharaoh's Tomb in Egypt, where the River of Life flows. After identifying the source of the papyrus theft, he packs and leaves for Egypt with his assistant Vulnavia - whose face displays no effects from the acid shower she received at the end of the previous film (although the character is now played by a different actress, Valli Kemp). His primary goal is the awakening of his dead wife, Victoria.
The thieves of Phibes' scrolls suffer an attrition problem as Inspectors Trout and Waverly chase Phibes across the world. The party is led by Beiderbeck (Robert Quarry, best known for playing Count Yorga). Although he looks young, he is several hundred years old and wants to find the River of Life in order to stay alive and be with his lover Diana (Fiona Lewis) forever. This time Phibes' murders all have an Egyptian theme to them; for example, one character is sand-blasted to death. Other deaths include someone being stung to death by scorpions, being eaten by an eagle (in the original script impaled by a gold eagle in the same way a doctor in The Abominable Dr. Phibes was impaled by a golden unicorn), and a golden snake piercing someone's skull.
At the climax, Beiderbeck sacrifices his life in order to save Diana. The film ends with Phibes riding a raft down the River of Life with Victoria, while singing "Over the Rainbow" (which is strange, as this film is set in 1928 but "Over The Rainbow" wasn't written until 1938). It is left ambiguous whether Victoria is resurrected or not, although a picture inside the DVD shows her in the raft with her eyes open and smiling at the camera
观众对《费比斯博士归来[电影解说]》的评价两极分化，一方面认为剧情离谱、演员表现惊艳，另一方面认为编剧粗制滥造、剧情不合理。
它是一部值得一看的电影，通过其故事和表现手法，让观众反思剧内向观众表达的意义和人性的复杂！
这是一部非常特别的影片，没有大开大合的剧情，没有博人眼球的类型元素，没有贯穿到底的故事脉络。像是一杯温开水，看似平淡，却喝起来十分解渴。
说真的，《费比斯博士归来[电影解说]》看完后我真的是久久不能平静！因为这部影片确实带给人的震撼太大了！不论是剧情节奏，还是剧情尺度，都让人不敢相信这是英国剧的水平。
充满了各种自相矛盾的观点，以及对人性的各种颠覆解读，看一遍绝对不过瘾。你每刷一遍，都能对人性有新的认知。
