Comedy meets horror when Bud Abbott and Lou Costello encounter Universal's classic monsters in the frightfully funny Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy. Pete and Freddie (Abbott and Costello) overhear a Cairo archaeologist's chatter about discovering a legendary mummy and decide to apply as chaperones for the corpse's journey to America. When they arrive at the archaeologists' home, they discover that he has been murdered; the mummy seems to have disappeared, and to top it all off, the boys become owners of a sacred medallion that holds the key to the location of an ancient buried treasure that many would kill for! Now it's up to the bumbling Americans to preserve the legend of the mummy and keep the treasure from falling into the wrong hands.
