Comment/Synopsis

A pair of wise cracking archeologists (Dick Foran and Wallace Ford) convince a magician (Cecil Kellaway) and his daughter (Peggy Moran) to finance an expedition to find the tomb of an ancient Egyptian princess but it is guarded by an ancient semi living mummy (Tom Tyler) who is aided by various locals. This is a follow up to the earlier Mummy from 1932 with the initial sequence taken directly from the earlier film. This has a comic touch that was not present in the earlier film and lower production values.
