The Mole People is a 1956 science fiction film directed by Virgil W. Vogel.

A narration by Dr. Frank Baxter, an English professor at the University of Southern California, explains the premise of the film and its basis in reality. He briefly discusses the hollow earth theories of John Symmes and Cyrus Teed among others, and says that the movie is a fictionalized representation of this unorthodox point-of-view.

When one of the archaeologists is killed by a mole person, Elinu, the High Priest, realizes they are not gods. He orders their capture and takes the flashlight to control the Mole People, not knowing it is depleted. The archaeologists are then sent to the Eye just as the Mole People rebel. Adad goes to the Eye only to realize its true nature and the men had survived. They then leave for the surface. Unfortunately, Adad dies after reaching the surface, when an earthquake causes a column to fall over and crush her.

The role of Elinu, High Priest of the Sumerians, is acted by Alan Napier who also played Alfred on the Batman television show. Hugh Beaumont is cast as Dr. Jud Bellamin. Beaumont's most famous role was as father Ward Cleaver in the Leave It To Beaver television show series (1957-1963). The role of Adad is acted by Cynthia Patrick.

Mole People has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
