A mummy discovered by three Egyptologists is brought back to London by a showman. The mummy begins to murder various members of the expedition until it is revealed that a sinister character carries a secret to the mummy's past and future.  The film stars Terence Morgan, Ronald Howard and Fred Clark, and was directed by Michael Carreras. Unlike most Hammer films of that period, it was filmed at Elstree Studios, rather than the company's permanent home at Bray. With the exception of (for example) character actor Michael Ripper, director Carreras and designer Bernard Robinson, most of the cast and crew were not Hammer veterans.  This was the film debut of Jeanne Roland, who played Annette Dubois. She also appeared in small roles in two James Bond films - Casino Royale and You Only Live Twice.
