After receiving funding from an eccentric magician (Cecil Kellaway) and his beautiful daughter (Peggy Moran), they set out into the desert only to be terrorized by a sinister high priest (George Zucco) and the living mummy Kharis (Tom Tyler) who are the guardians of Ananka's tomb.

By 1940, the whole Universal Horror thing was pretty much played out. Ford is insufferable.

Somehow, even with the replicates of Abbot & Costello leading the search, the next Mummy flick is much funnier. Probably cause it relies on a camp sense rather than gags. And with the next one also giving a lengthy 10 min. summary of what's here, I can't think of any reason to care about this.

an unneeded and hokey addition to the mummy series, and while it's not intended, it does provide a few laughs.

Story of the mummy gets re-imagined in this film from the second wave of Universal studios horror films. It's is more of an adventure film than horror, and comedy is kind of silly. Mummy isn't a vengeful monster, but just a tool for evil people.

It takes a while to get going, but it's a pretty good adventure film. The new Mummy makeup is really eerie.

Fun movie. Not very much like Karloff's mummy picture; instead it's more like an unusually well-done serial

Zucco is unsung as always with this by the book yet enjoyable take on mummies. The love story is fairly restrained and Cecil Kellaway adds an unexpected balance of tone between drama and levity that helps round out the film.

First of the Kharis series is a fun, splashy rethinking of the original, not a sequel. Western and serial star Tom Tyler is wasted in non-speaking role, but Cecil Kellaway and Peggy Moran add a lot of life as an itinerant magician and his daughter. Best of the Kharis movies by a long pinch. Watch for shots of Tyler inserted into flashback footage featuring Karloff.
