THE THREE STOOGES In "We Want Our Mummy" - 1939

Here's a great little story with our pals... The Stooges go to Egypt in search of the mummy of King Rootin-Tootin for which a museum will pay a $5000 prize. They wind up in the mummy's tomb, but, are hassled by some bad guys who are also looking for the lost mummy.

The boys, dressed as two-faced detectives, show up at the museum to apply for the job... Whatever the Hell it is!

Their first assignment is to locate a missing professor in the museum. They end up helping the kidnapper load the crate on a truck with the professor inside! Both Larry and Moe get crushed by the crate with Curly piloting the damn thing!

So, the boys get the job of locating the mummy. When the cab driver asks them where they want to go, Curly says... Egypt!

The taxi makes it to Egypt, which is funny as Hell if you think about it. They also run up an astronomical fare for the ride there!

They fall through a trap door in the sand and end up in the tomb! They are now at the mercy of the crooks. First, someone throws a knife at Moe, then something with big claws takes out Moe and Larry, who end up behind bars.

Curly finds a mummy and thinks it's King Rootin-Tootin. But, when the thing gets out of the coffin and starts chasing him around, Curly goes into his 'get me out of here' routine... WOOB!

Curly gets stuck on a peg on the door. When Moe and Larry crawl through the opening, Curly conks them on the head! They ask him why he hit them and he says, I thought you guys were mummies!

So, Moe and Larry think they have found King Rootin-Tootin, Moe tells Curly to hide it.

When Curly bends over to pick the thing up, he gets a hot seat and falls on the mummy, popping it. Curly says... Hey, where'd you go?!

The bad guys are using a pick to get through the wall, so, Moe decides to dress Curly up as the mummy. When the crooks get into the room, well, they find one homely mummy!

After the head crook finds a newspaper where the jewels are supposed to be, he notices that the Yankees won the world series, so, Curly tells the guy that he made some bets on the game!.. OOPS!! The bad guys start chasing the Stooges around, but, fall in a well Curly had covered over with a rug!

The kidnapped Professor tells the boys that this is the coffin of King Rootin-Tootin, because, he was a freakin' midget!

Curly thinks he's found a mummified alligator, until it bites him on the rear end!

The boys and the Professor make a b-line to the taxi so they can get the Hell out of Egypt!.. Tune in tomorrow when we're back with even more Dungeon Cargo, just for you!
