British Egyptologist Professor Morlant seeks immortality through a jewel buried in the tomb of an Oriental idol. Upon his death, Morlant returns to Earth to seek vengeance upon those who removed the jewel from his grave.
Directed by T. Hayes Hunter, The Ghoul leans on a strong ensemble — Boris Karloff, Cedric Hardwicke, Ernest Thesiger — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
