His friend, a keeper of a museum, refuses to lend the mummy. The friend gives a dance and his fiancée dresses as Egyptian girl to dance for the party. Meantime doctor hires a crook to steal the mummy. A janitor takes a mummy from its case to clean the case and forgets to return it. The Queen exits from the platform, falls in a faint and drops into the casket. The crooks arrive, steal the casket and take it to the doctor's house. He gives it some elixir and the Queen recovers. She thinks the doctor a bug and pretends to revive like a mummy to humor him. The doctor's wife sees this and then sees the Queen dancing for hubby. Finally she catches the Queen and doctor, places them over burning powder chamber to get revenge for doctor's perfidy. Meanwhile the crowd in the museum have missed the dancer and are out looking for her. They find the cops, who explain crooks' confession. All return to laboratory just in time to save Doctor and Queen from the wrath of wifey. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
