Synopsis:
The tomb of an ancient Egyptian priest is uncovered by four men. A curse has been placed on the tomb which threatens whomever opens it. Ignoring the curse the men bring the contents including a mummy back to America. When two of the men mysteriously die, the Gay Ghost suspects one of the others is using the curse as an excuse to kill his partners. The Gay Ghost tracks down the killer, Ibn Ben Hahn, but not before the real curse strikes. Hahn is killed by the mummy, though when the Gay Ghost arrives he finds it to be undisturbed.
