Professor Browning (Frank M. Thomas) has been part of an expedition to Egypt that saw its participants dying like flies - sometimes right before his very eyes. So he decides to return all the treasures he brought abroad to the tomb he has taken them from. Somehow, Stanley (Bert Wheeler) and Aloysius (Robert Woolsey) are hired as his chief excavators, even if they haven't got the first idea about ... anything, really. That doesn't keep Stanley to fall for Browning's daughter Mary (Barbara Pepper), and she falls for him as well.

In Egypt, after any number of random hijinks, they reach the tomb but Professor Browning disappears. so Stanley, Aloysius, their sidekick Catfish (Willie Best) and Mary all enter the tomb - to at first find nothing for the longest time, then be trapped within the tomb due to a cave-in, thento discover Browning having been made captive by his associate Dr Sterling (Moroni Olsen), who apparently has killed all the other members of the expedition because he has found a secret room in the tomb only known to him that's full of treasures and stuff, and now he has lured ... Browning back here to ... make him his captive and ... ultimately cause others to go look for him and inevitably find the tomb and ... yeah, I know it makes no sense. So anyways, Browning manages to escape, and even nitwits like Stanley and Aloysius manage to find the secret chamber, and even if Sterling tries to dress up like a mummy to scare him off, justice prevails at the end and Stanley gets the girl ...

Most certainly not one of the better Wheeler & Woolsey comedies: The script in its entirety makes little sense and for the most part is just a hanger for unrelated Egypt-related jokes and routines, several of which might be seen as politically uncorrect or even racist from today's point of view (but always remember, back in the days there was no thing like political correctness). What's worse though is that neither Wheeler nor Woolsey's character seems to be fully rounded out, in this they just seem to be comics who deliver their lines with sometimes more sometimes less enthusiasm ... but at least some of the jokes are funny.

So in all, not a total trainwreck, and I'd go so far and say I've seen better comic duos in worse movies, but certainly far from a must-see let alone classic.
