Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Professor Doug McCadden is in charge of opening his university's latest acquisition - a sealed Egyptian sarcophagus. Opening it reveals an ancient mummy and a mold substance which proves to eat the flesh of anyone touching it. Later, sneaky student Pete Sharpe finds five hidden jewels in the bottom of the casket and distributes them to various co-eds on campus, not realizing the mummy, recently revived with an overdose of x-rays, is bound and determined to reclaim them. McCadden, who has carefully analyzed x-rays taken of the mummy, comes to the reluctant conclusion that it is not what it seems.

| Quotes |
Prof. Douglas McCadden:
Ken, I want you to listen to this, I think I'm onto something. The scroll: it basically tells the story of King Tutankhamen's soldiers discovering a stranger in the desert. Alright, because of his unusual appearance, the Egyptians assumed him to be a god, sent to advise their own god-king. So, King Tut goes forth to greet this deity, whom he calls Ankh-Venharis. Now, listen to this... Prof. Douglas McCadden: [Interpreting a scroll found in the mummy sarcophagus] "All-knowing Tutankhamen reached out to touch the weary traveler, and was sorely burned, and afflicted with a disease that consumed his flesh..." Prof. Douglas McCadden: [continues interpreting] "Likewise for all servants who laid hands on the boy king, all died, save only the strange traveler himself, who lay near death and without strength but would not pass into the afterworld." Prof. Douglas McCadden: So, they simply sealed him alive in a corner of Tut's tomb, along with all the afflicted servants Dr. Ken Melrose: Tell me something, are you suggesting that our fungus is the same disease that killed Tut and his servants, and it's been dormant for three thousand years? And now it's not? Prof. Douglas McCadden: Suppose it were true. See more » |
