Rita goes to Egypt to meet up with her Uncle Daniel, who is working on some excavations, but due to a terrible misunderstanding, Rita fails to find the person her uncle has sent to meet her and joins a band of robbers who are looking for the same treasure as her Uncle Daniel. A series of amusing coincidences will leave Rita passing herself off as a young archaeologist. Rita finds the amazing treasure entirely by chance and finally manages to escape. When she eventually meets up with her uncle they manage to uncover the robbers' plan. 'Rita y los Ladrones de tumbas' ('Rita and the Tomb Raiders') is part of a series and is currently followed by 'Rita, tenista' ('Rita, Tennis Star').
