Trivia
From an exhibitor speaking to the trade journal Motion Picture Herald: "The poorest picture this team has turned out. I can't understand why the producers don't give this famous team some story to work on. They are just as good as they ever were if given half a chance, but this last story couldn't get a laugh in a feeble-minded institution."

Wheeler & Woolsey duo

Phillip Browning is desperate to return cursed archeological artifacts back to Egypt after the other members of the expedition all died. He and his daughter Mary lead the new expedition. Hapless ditch diggers, Stanley Wright (Bert Wheeler) and Aloysius C. Whittaker (Robert Woolsey), answer the newspaper ad to join the group. They mistake stowaway Catfish (Willie Best) as an Egyptian and brings him along as their guide.

Wheeler & Woolsey are forgotten by the general movie goers nowadays. The vaudevillians are an old fashion comedian duo. Once they get to Egypt, they do a lot of jokes aimed at an Arab with four wives. Again, they are old school, but it could have been much worst. I wouldn't put this duo above any of the legends. Nevertheless, they have some playful banter and this is somewhat fun at times.
