Tasked with retrieving the mummy, the Stooges embark on a perilous journey, driven by the promise of a substantial reward.

Mistaking a mirage for a body of water, they inadvertently stumble into a network of tunnels purportedly leading to the tomb of Rootentooten.

Faced with the threat of imminent demise at the hands of the malevolent gang leader, Jackson, Who believes that the jewels buried inside the mummy of Rootentooten, the Stooges devise a comically ingenious plan to deceive their captors, involving Curly masquerading as a makeshift mummy.

The unexpected discovery prompts a hasty retreat, with the Stooges and Professor Tuttle narrowly escaping the clutches of danger, only to encounter yet another obstacle in the form of a Nile crocodile.

The reference to the 1938 World Series between the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs is a rare acknowledgement of a real-life sporting event.
