Starting on a trip with the professor to see how archaeological explorations are made. Homer Croy sees the remains of the "kings' feet," done in stone many thousands of years ago. The professor shows Mr. Croy where the digging goes. They walk through the streets of Cairo showing where mummies have been found. Then they come to a former tomb. Later, a miniature railway is shown which is used in making the excavations, and the workmen discover a mummy 4,000 years old. The dust has to be carefully blown aside in order not to disturb the crumbling bones which are shown in a close-up of the picture. The professor shows a bust of a former king of Egypt. The relic is 3,000 years old. A scene follows showing the finds sent to America and our flag floating a few feet from the Great Pyramid over the professor's house.
