Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。故事发生的时间是一九二一年，一支探险队在埃及发现了古埃及王子因霍特的木乃伊，因霍特因为受到法老的诅咒，因而被作为祭品而活活埋葬。与此同时，在因霍特的墓穴中，也发现了特霍斯的神秘卷轴，据说这种卷轴能够重新赋予死去的人以生命。一天晚上，探险队中得一位年轻队员无意中大声朗读了这份卷轴，然后突然发起狂来，他突然意识到他的这种行为将把因霍特变成活人。十年之后，这个木乃伊假扮为一个现代埃及人，试图重新与他失去的爱人团聚。他的爱人也是一名年轻貌美的再生的古埃及公主。 幕后花絮 这是二十世纪三十年代的一部经典恐怖片，当时有声片对于人们来说仍然是新奇的，电影制作人也在不断地试验各种崭新的讲故事的方法，影像风格常常受到德国表现主义的深刻影响。事实上，《木乃伊》的导演卡尔·弗莱伊德在三十年代还导演了另外一部经典电影《疯狂的爱》。卡尔·弗莱伊德曾经担任过弗里茨·朗的经典科幻电影《大都市》的摄影师也曾担任过F·W·瑁瑙的一些电影的摄影师和美工师。《木乃伊》明显欠下经典恐怖片《德拉库拉》一笔债。在本片中，扮演主角的是非常有才华的演员波利斯·卡诺夫，他把木乃伊霍特演得活灵活现，而木乃伊的情人古埃及公主蔷的扮演者泽塔·琼是一位著名的舞台演员，她有一张充满异国情调的面孔，也给本片增色不少。。
