Stuntman Eddie Powell (Christopher Lee's regular stunt double) played the Mummy, brought back to life to wreak revenge on his enemies.

The Mummy's Shroud is set in 1920 and tells the story of a team of archaeologists who come across the lost tomb of the boy Pharaoh Kah-To-Bey.

The story then moves forward to 1920 and shows the expedition led by scientist Sir Basil Walden, and businessman Stanley Preston finding the tomb.

They ignore the dire warning issued to them by Hasmid, a local Bedouin about the consequences for those that violate the tombs of Ancient Egypt and remove the bodies and the sacred shroud.

The remaining members of the party, Stanley's son Paul Preston and Maggie Claire de Sangre, succeed in destroying the mummy.
