    Desert Mystery
    Wesley Lau stars as Lt. Leonard Wilenski, a pilot in World War II whose plane crash lands in the harsh Egyptian desert. After surviving the crash, the poor man almost loses his life in the high desert heat to dehydration, but is fortunately rescued in time to be taken to hospital where he receives vital medical care. After he awakens bandaged from his sunburns, he believes himself to be possessed by the spirit of an ancient Egyptian prince, but upon awakening returns to his old self, only to discover his face has changed! A later expedition to locate that prince's tomb will restore his own face, though not resolve the mystery. Effective tale nonetheless.
