Egyptologists discover the tomb of an Egyptian prince and are persuaded by an American showman to put the sarcophagus on display. The trouble starts when the exhibition is burgled, then the mummy goes missing.This was the second Mummy film from Hammer and it starts well, but seems overlong and finds it hard to keep up the pace. Dipping somewhat in the middle, before the mummy finally arrives to liven things up for the big finish. This version of the mummy is much more vicious than in previous films and there is a nice twist in the tale. All in all it's a great looking and entertaining film, without being more than an average Hammer.
