A Mayan temple maiden named Xochitl is reincarnated centuries later as a woman named Ann Taylor. A scientist uses hypnosis to cause her to regress to her earlier life many centuries ago when she was executed by the high priests for having an affair with a Mayan warrior named Popoca. As punishment, Popoca was turned into a living mummy and placed in a pyramid tomb where he must guard Xochitl's remains and a Mayan treasure for all eternity. Ann Taylor leads an expedition of archaeologists to the hidden tomb where a valuable gold breastplate is guarded by the still living Popoca. Taking the treasure from its resting place automatically revives the mummy. In this Americanized version, the mummy kills one of the explorers, and is in turn captured by the scientists and taken back to civilization. The mummy later escapes, gets back his stolen breastplate and returns to his tomb. In the end, the scientists return to the pyramid and battle the mummy, holding him at bay with a crucifix. The leader of the expedition sacrifices his life to destroy the mummy with dynamite, collapsing the tomb on both of them.
