    Sister Steve dancing is hilarious!!

    When Father Dowling and Sister Steve discover an ancient Egyptian curse while visiting a Pharaoh's burial chamber at the Chicago museum they attempt to uncover the mystery surrounding the statue given to Frank from the murdered man. Father Prestwick also visits the tomb with almost deadly consequences!

    Mummy's curse, hidden treasure, secret compartments, grave digger traps, crooked antiquities dealers and murder all feature in this fun episode. Plenty of twist and turns, a close shave for Father as the wall closes in - plus Sister Steve masquerades as a belly dancer and dance moves are hilarious. One guy pays her, suggesting she should get lessons.
