When a deadly scarab starts visiting a curse from ancient Egypt on wealthy financiers, Doc and his bold crew face a terrifying death in the mysterious crypts of the most dangerous pyramid on earth.

A very sluggish Bogart tale. When left mostly to his own devices, Bogey could be a sleep-inducing writer. He needed Dent's substantial revision to create standout tales.

A silly, ho-hum story. I still had fun reading it, mainly because the "curse" was supposed to be utterly terrifying and horrible... but here is an example of the curse at work..."There followed a startled cry: 'Good Lord! There's something... here...in this room! It...it's moving...like a big, fat bug!'"
If that doesn't get you shaking in your shoes, what will?
"Good Lord! There... there's a mouse...in...in this room! It...it's coming at me! It...it's stabbing me with a TOOTHPICK! Quick, call Doc Savage!"
