Loretta Venus and Golden Rubi are two wrestlers and maybe Amazon women.

Dr. Sorva comes to see Loretta’s husband, whose Uncle Luis is an archeologist, to discuss a codex that leads to an Aztec treasure

They swore to secrecy, but Black Dragon is torturing and killing every archeologist until he finds the one with the codex.

Before he can finish, a man shoots a blow dart through the window, killing Dr. Sorva.

The women wrestlers and their archeologist friends must find the codex before Black Dragon does. Who knows what secrets lie in the Aztec pyramids?

Well, if the title wasn’t a big enough hint, it’s a mummy.

— Can you explain it, Uncle Luis? — Nope! It makes no sense. So, that mummy is supernatural

The movie has radio serial energy. The plot changes by the minute, and much of the plot develops through exposition.

On the plus side, it’s hard to get bored. Well, except for the wrestling matches. They wrestle a la G.L.O.W., but the fights are long.

It’s not that good, but it’s great for a laugh, even if it stops making sense by the end.
