A pushy reporter vows to prove Yo-Wut-Sup is a hoax. A wacky mystic intends to sneak him back to Egypt. Three high school students want to use him in their low budget horror film. And two clueless robbers plan to steal the mummy, if only they can figure out what one looks like.

Can Melvin Trimble, the world’s most cowardly security guard, stop all of them considering it’s his first night on the job? Or will he be left taking the ”wrap”? And why are there, not one, not two, but three creepy mummies roaming the halls? Now museum, now you don’t!
