Transcription
Premise
The film follows three mummies from the underworld who embark on a journey and end up in present-day London in search of an old ring belonging to an Ancient Egyptian Royal Family that was stolen from a tomb by the ambitious archaeologist Lord Carnaby, whose goal is to kidnap Princess Nefer for an exhibition after her irrepressible singing goes viral. The mummies end up in several hilarious situations as they try to understand and adapt to 21st century London in an obvious culture clash.
