What is the plot of Mummies?
The official plot synopsis is: "The film follows the fun adventures of three Egyptian mummies who live in an underground secret city, hidden in ancient Egypt. The trio includes a princess, a former charioteer, and his younger brother along with their pet baby crocodile.
"Through a series of unfortunate events, the mummies end up in present-day London and embark on a wacky and hilarious journey in search of an old ring belonging to the Royal Family, that was stolen by the ambitious archaeologist Lord Carnaby."
Variety described one scene they were exclusively shown: "In the scene, dashing protagonist Tut, a chariot racer — living in a world underneath the Pyramids peopled by very much alive Ancient Egypt mummies — faces off in a battle of egos with the Pharaoh’s beautiful daughter. As the two assure one another that sparks are guaranteed not to fly, one gets the impression that both are merely putting on a bold front."
