Storyline
Plot Summary |
Simon has arranged to send a rare mummy of a pharaoh from Cairo to Phildelphia to his good friend, Keystone University archeology professor Horatio Bitts, whose beautiful daughter does not escape The Saint's attention. Ruthless gang leader Duke Bates, known as "The Boss," is a dead ringer for Simon and a notorious jewel smuggler who uses the mummy to disguise a cache of illegal diamonds. After Bates murders a shady jewel cutter and the professor, Simon finds himself under suspicion... even by his old friend, Inspector Fernack. Written by duke1029@aol.com |

Did You Know?
Trivia | At the beginning, when Partner (Bela Lugosi) ships the coffin-shaped wooden box, he is charged £4 and 6s. That would equate to about $350.00 in 2024. See more » |
Goofs | The mummy's coffin that is shipped from Cairo is obviously different from the one that arrives at Professor Bitts' home. The writing on the coffin that arrives at Professor Bitts' home is neater, the "Paid" stamps are in different locations, and the twine around the coffin is in a different location. See more » |
