Synopsis:
Professor Brink returns from Egypt after uncovering the tomb of Kiron, an ancient bandit. When the examination of Kiron's mummified body begins, the mummy rises to life. It escapes the museum and begins a series of Egyptian-based crimes. Batman and Robin eventually capture the mummy and unmask the crook. The mummy is really Brink's assistant Andrews, who used the mummy disguise to frighten his victims and conceal his true identity.
