Much of this film has Dr. Almada (Ramón Gay) recounting the story of the Aztec Mummy so far to two of his colleagues (and using plenty of footage from both The Aztec Mummy and Curse of the Aztec Mummy in the process), including how his wife Flor (Rosita Arenas) had some power over the mummy, being its reincarnated lover, and how Dr. Krupp (Luis Aceves Castaneda) turned evil, desparately wanting to get his hands on the breastplate and the bracelet of the mummy, despite knowing that stealing these will awaken the mummy and cause it to go on a rampage. Last time Dr. Krupp was seen though, he fell into a snake pit and was thought dead in the process. That was five years ago, but now, there are indications that Dr. Krupp is actually alive and up to his old tricks. And really, when Almada and company check, they find the snakepit Krupp has supposedly died in had an escape hatch and he has apparently escaped. And apparently, he and his gang have stolen a certain quantity of radium, so all our heroes have to do is inquiring at all the steel vendors if anybody has bought enough steel of late to house the radium, and this trail eventually leads Almada and friends to a mausoleum where the mummy (Ángel Di Stefani) is kept - and apparently, Krupp has built himself a human robot (Adolfo Rojas) to relieve the mummy of its breatplate and bracelet and then tear the mummy to shreds - which would then provide Krupp with an immense treasure Krupp would invest into building more robots to ultimately rule the world. Our heroes try to stop him but fail, but once awakened, the mummy takes out not only the robot but also Krupp and gang, before Flor returns bracelet and breastplate and persuades the mummy to go to sleep again ...

Now whatever bad you want to say about this film is probably accurate, it's cheaply made, and its over-reliance on footage from the earlier movies in the series is a bit jarring, it's story is a bit thin even for its short 65 minute running time, and the robot looks as if out of the bargain basement bin of a toy store - and I could go on here, but all of this is also a bit beside the point, as the film's also pretty hilarious at pretty much every turn along the way, as its blend of horror clichés and cheap thrills in a slightly childish story without any sort of pretension has something weirdly hypnotic, so despite or maybe even for the its shortcomings, this is a pretty entertaining movie.
