Synopsis

When archcriminal Dr. Krupp, alias The Bat, escapes from the police, Dr. Ramon and his fiancée, Flora, are warned by a hooded benefactor, The Angel, of the villain's escape. The Bat plots the theft of an entombed Aztec treasure, guarded by the mummified warrior, Popoca. Flora, whom Krupp believes to be Popoca's beloved princess incarnate, is abducted by The Bat. Ramon and The Angel are captured by The Bat, but Bobby, Ramon's young brother, is alerted by wrist radio and saves them. At the pyramid in which the treasure is hoarded, Ramon and The Angel are recaptured by The Bat's henchmen. With Flora as hostage, The Bat coerces Ramon into deciphering the hieroglyphics, which are the key to the treasure. Although The Angel is unmasked as Ramon's timid helper Pinkate, Popoca emerges from his tomb to subdue The Bat and his minions.
