The story opens with a 136 million year-old pterosaur egg hatching in a museum and results in the death of a Paris official. Meanwhile Adèle Blanc-Sec, a journalist and travel writer of some fame is uncovering the mummy of King Ramesses physician to help her sisters unfortunate condition. Adèle returns home with the mummy (on a train in her luggage) only to find out that the man who was to revive the mummy, Professor Espérandieu, is on death row for the incident with the dinosaur.
This is a french film and as such the hijinx is plentiful, and the whole thing is corny and silly in a great way.
The movie is in french with english subtitles and is loosly based on a french comic book series based on Miss Adèle Blanc-Sec's adventures. Set in circa 1910 its a great laugh, which I completely enjoyed.
