is a matter of record.
The newspaper files
of The Bayou Times
carried long descriptive
accounts of the event.
You expect me
to believe a story
as fantastic as that?
As a matter of fact,
the Egyptians themselves
doubt the legend of Kharis.
But nevertheless,
a small group in Egypt
did harbor the mummy
through the centuries.
And he's been traced
right here to this country.
In the dictum of the fathers
it is written:
"Truth will flourish
in fantasy,
"only to wither and die
in what you are pleased
to call reality."
Mm-hmm.
Yes, and speaking
of reality, Ilzor,
I think it's time
we started getting
organized.
Boss!
Something terrible
done happened.
What is it now, Goobie?
Antoine!
They just find him dead!
What?
At the edge of the pit
on the edge of the swamp.
These unnecessary
accidents!
Oh, no, sir,
he was killed!
What do you mean?
And the workmen,
they're getting
mighty scared, sir.
They're gonna quit.
Find Cajun Joe. He knows
how to handle these people.
Yes, sir.
He's probably at
Tante Berthe's Cafe.
Bring him in
as quick as you can.
Yes, sir.
Get Dr. Cooper.
Master Joe! Master Joe!
Master Walsh is
lookin' for you.
Why do he want me for?
"Find a lizard on the grave,
'tain't no charm
your life would save."
Hey, what are you
talking about, Goobie?
They just find Antoine
in the big pit
with a knife in his back.
Huh!
I don't know how it could've
happened with all these men
workin' around here.
How long has he
been dead,
Dr. Cooper?
I can't say definitely.
But I'd judge
at least 24 hours.
He must've been
murdered yesterday
and the body left here.
The devil's on the loose!
Maybe soon
we'll all be killed.
Mr. Walsh!
Will you come
here a minute?
What does that
look like?
It looks like
a hole in the ground.
No, no.
Come down here and
take a better look.
Hey, looks like
the imprint
of a man's body.
A big man too.
Not an ordinary man's body,
Mr. Walsh.
Unless I'm mistaken,
a mummy was buried here
until a bulldozer
uncovered it.
Oh, Ilzor,
I want you to see this.
What do you think
that is?
Might be part
of a wrapping
from a mummy.
But it will take
a full microscopic test
to make certain.
The devil's on the loose and
he's dancin' with the mummy!
See what I told you, Joe?
The loup-garou is
plenty mad.
Only crazy people
dig in the swamp.
He's right!
The swamp is haunted
by the mummy!
How many time I told you,
the mummy
he's-a no scare nobody.
Let's all stop
the nonsense!
If this cloth wrapping
proves authentic,
whoever found the mummy
must've murdered Antoine.
The whole story's
fantastic!
Perhaps not as fantastic
as it seems, Mr. Walsh.

Bernard Schubert

Bernard Schubert (January 1, 1895 – August 4, 1988) was an American screenwriter and television producer during the early sound era of film and early days of television. From 1931 through 1948 he was involved in the scripts for 25 films. Two of his more notable films were Peck's Bad Boy (1934), for which he co-wrote the screenplay with Marguerite Roberts, and which starred Jackie Cooper; and 1944's The Mummy's Curse, starring Lon Chaney Jr.. In the late 1940s, he wrote several plays, two of which were turned into films. By the early 1950s, Schubert moved to the small screen, producing television series and movies during that decade. Some of the series he worked on were Mr. and Mrs. North, Topper, and Adventures of the Falcon. Schubert died on August 4, 1988, in Los Angeles, California. more…
