The Mummy
Unearthed
from the ancient Egyptian pyramids by a British field team of archeologists,
the cursed mummy Imhotep was re-animated by the incantation of a forbidden
spell by an errant member of the team. Leaving the men in abject horror,
Imhotep escapes to Cairo under the guise of Ardeth Bey, Egyptian scholar.
Trading the gilded vestments he once wore as a High Priest for the humble
fez and robes of a modern man, Imhotep goes about secretly trying to
resurrect his lost love, the beautiful princess Anck-es-en-Amon. But the
road to eternal love is laced with diabolical intrigue and murder, for
Imhotep stops at nothing to reincarnate her, using all the powers of the
Egyptian gods of the Underworld to bring her back to him, risking his own
immortality and destroying all who dare stand in the way of his obsession.
