British Egyptologist Professor Morlant seeks immortality through a jewel buried in the tomb of an Oriental idol, only to return from the dead as a vengeful spirit upon those who have betrayed him. In this eerie tale, Karloff stars alongside a cast of British treasures, including Cedric Hardwicke and Ernest Thesiger, as he exacts revenge on those who stole the jewel from his tomb. The film's dark magic is rooted in its 1928 novel source material, but it's been lost to obscurity for decades – until now, when a restored version has finally emerged, revealing its hidden charms to a new generation of horror fans.
