La mummia (1932)
1921, la lettura ad alta voce di un papiro riporta in vita la mummia del sacerdote Im-Ho-Tep che fugge nel deserto portando con sè il papiro magico. Dieci anni dopo, la mummia del faraone sotto le spoglie di Ardath Bey, guida una spedizione di archeologi intenzionata a trovare il sarcofago della principessa Anck-es-en-Amon. Alla bella ed affascinante Helen Grosvernor, Ardath Bey racconta la "sua" storia, quella di Im-Ho-Tep innamorato della bella principessa Anck-es-en-Amon, ma murato vivo perchè era stato scoperto con il suo papiro, uno scritto magico in grado di resuscitare i morti...
