From his secret lair beneath an Egyptian tomb, Madman Roxor(Bela Lugosi) plans world domination. He kidnaps a scientist who is working on a deadly death ray that can destroy a whole city. Chandu the Magician(Edmund Lowe) with his magic powers newly in his possession is sent to stop him by using his Yogi supernatural powers. Roxor does his best to deny him by finding out his power is in his eyes. Not terrible, but not enough to keep you awake if you're tired, Lugosi is fine, the rest of the cast are unremarkable, the production values are pretty good,if a little hokey by todays standards, they were state of the art at the time. There's plenty of wandering through Egyptian bazaars,listening to the locals with their Brooklyn accents, all to the backdrop of generic arab music. Disappointing
