Description
Slapstick comedy caper starring movie aficionado Sam Swann and his faithful hound, Watson. Sam Swann and his dad are heading to Egypt to film Tomb of Doom!!! and Sam is pretty excited about the location - all those pyramids, temples and mummies. Real, live dead people! On set, however, it's the live ones Sam needs to watch. First his sort of friend - and Hollywood megastar - Tinkerbelle Cherry has her room broken into, then she's struck down with a mysterious illness. And all the while a sinister stranger seems to be following the pair of them everywhere they go. It's all so confusing, Sam's brain is in danger of exploding. Aargh!! What would Sherlock do...?
