It has been said...
that a man's best friend is
his mummy.
In Egypt today, this theory
is to be in great dispute.
For two bold adventurers...
are about to discover...
another kind of mummy.
I'll have a waiter for you
in a minute, sir.
Hey, the meat's on fire.
How stupid can you get?
How stupid do you
want me to be?
There you are, sir.
The meat is
still on fire.
Dr. Zoomer, have you
any statement for the press?
You may say that I have
discovered the mummy of Klaris...
Prince of Evil.
And that somewhere in the
sarcophagus is a clue...
which will lead to the discovery
of the tomb of Princess Ara.
I see.
That's very interesting.
Go quickly and tell Semu
that we have located Klaris...
and will return him
to the tomb of his people.
And the Doctor?
He will not
escape punishment.
Well, as soon as I can find two
trustworthy men to accompany my mummy...
I will ship it to the States.
Who is that?
Dr. Zoomer.
Where's Rontru?
In the other room.
Rontru.
Yes?
Dr. Zoomer found
the mummy of Klaris.
Then get it.
Have you no fear
of the curse of Klaris?
There is no curse that a
gun or a knife can't cure.
Get Klaris away
from Dr. Zoomer.
It won't be easy.
You follow
the Doctor home.
If anything
should happen to him...
it will be blamed
on the curse of Klaris.
Past the pyramids, near the
ruins of an old temple...
is a large rock.
Search there and...
Now this is the place.
I overheard Dr. Zoomer say
he needed a couple of men...
to accompany his mummy
back to the States.
Is she afraid
to travel by herself?
She? No, his mummy is a he.
What's wrong with that?
Some mummies are men,
some mummies are women.
It's a strange country.
What's strange about it, Lou?
Your mummy,
wasn't she a woman?
I never had a mummy.
What'd your father do?
Win you in a crap game?
What's the matter? I thought
you were gonna slap me.
I said stop that nonsense.
Beloved Klaris...
you will soon be returned
to your people.
Now come on. We'll go in here
and try and get the job.
Let's get back
to the States.
Dr. Zoomer.
Must have went out to lunch.
No.
A man wouldn't go out
and leave his door open...
with a valuable mummy
in the house.
Dr. Zoomer?
Dr. Zoomer?
Dr. Zoomer!
Something funny about this.
We'd better look around.
I'll look in that room there.
You search this one.
Dr. Zoomer.
Dr. Zoomer?
Dr. Zoomer?
Mrs. Zoomer?
Is your husband here?
Mrs. Zoomer?
Mrs...
Lou, what's the matter?
In there.
Bandages with eyes.
The mummy of Klaris!
Nobody could have
a mummy like that.
That mummy is 4,000 years old.
She looks it.
Come on. We've got to
take a picture of that.
Come on, follow me.
Well, where is it?
It was here.
What do you mean
it was here?
It was here.
Mummies can't walk.
It must be around here
someplace.
The sacred medallion is
missing.
I'll search
the infidel Doctor.
You must hurry.
Klaris has been too long
without sustenance.
If Klaris is gone,
somebody moved him.
It wasn't me.
Then it's either Dr. Zoomer, or
there's somebody in this house...
who don't belong here.
And I know who it is.
Who?
Me.
Now wait a minute.
Take this camera.
You go and hide...
and take a picture of anybody
that comes in this room.
And if there's anything fishy going
on around here, we'll have the proof.
I gotta take a picture
of you.
Stay right there.
Now, would you mind
smiling, please?
Attaboy. Now,
will you lean back?
That coat's in your way.
Hey. Hey, I found
a dead body.
Maybe it's the Doctor.
Where is it?
First the mummy disappears.
Now a body disappears.
