On his deathbed, famed Egyptologist Professor Morlant (Karloff) instructs his assistant to bury him with an ancient jewel he believes will grant him eternal life. But soon after he's entombed, the sacred treasure is ripped from his hand by a mysterious grave robber. Now, filled with fury, Morlant rises from his crypt as a grotesquely decaying mummy determined to avenge the theft and destroy everything in his path! (official distributor synopsis)

I found The Ghoul to be average for its time. It is currently a horror film that just can't work anymore. Not only because it doesn't contain horror scenes, but also because it is very shallow and doesn't surprise the viewer with anything. The story even seems drawn out. But given the context of the time, I still find the film relatively passable.
