In this third part of the Aztec Mummy trilogy (after The Aztec Mummy and The Curse of the Aztec Mummy), Dr. Krupp hypnotizes Flor so she will take him to the tomb of Popoca, the Aztec Mummy. Eduardo and Pinacate go off in pursuit of the evil doctor; after getting ambushed and captured, they watch Dr. Krupp bring to life an enormous Human Robot who he aims to pit against Popoca. The two creatures face each other in a hair-raising battle in the cemetery.
