The Mole People is a 1956 science fiction film directed by Virgil W. Vogel. This film was parodied on the television show Mystery Science Theater 3000.
In this movie, archaeologists John Agar and Hugh Beaumont stumble upon a race of Sumerian albinos living deep under the Earth. They are afraid of light of any kind and keep mutant humanoid mole men as their slaves. The Sumerian albinos' ancestors moved into the subterranea after the cataclysmic floods in ancient Mesopotamia. Elinor the High Priest, played by Alan Napier, who was also Alfred on the Batman television show, is the leader of the Sumerians in the movie. The movie may have been inspired by the 1951 film Superman and the Mole Men.
