In 1902, a small team of Brits head out into the Valley of Kings, where an obsessed archeologist is about to desecrate an ancient tomb. How could something like that be a bad idea? According to IMDb, Lee Sholem was hired to direct because he had a reputation for shooting cheap and quick.(His nickname was "Roll 'Em Sholem".) The movie was shot in six days. The exteriors, filmed in Death Valley, were done in one.
