Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy is the last of the team's vehicles for
Universal-International. Stranded in Egypt, Bud and Lou hire themselves out as travelling companions to archeologist
Kurt Katch. Before long,
Katch is murdered by a group of cultists, and a medallion, embossed with a map which leads to a sacred burial site, is accidentally swallowed by
Costello. The boys become the unwilling pawns of the cultists, led by
Richard Deacon, and a greedy adventuress, played by
Marie Windsor. The last scene finds
Costello being menaced by three mummies, two of them bogus.
