Summary
In a whirlwind of slapstick mischief, the con‑artist Ned, accompanied by his ever‑obedient valet, dupes a gullible crowd by offering to repair their prized fountain pens—a ruse that spirals into chaos when the swindled townsfolk turn hostile. Fleeing the wrathful mob, the duo slips into the hushed corridors of a municipal museum, where they conceal themselves within two vacant sarcophagi, mistaking the ancient relics for a convenient hideout. Unbeknownst to them, the museum’s curators soon transfer the coffins to a laboratory, intent on resurrecting the mummified occupants with a tangle of electrical apparatus. As the scientists connect wires and crank up voltage, Ned and his valet find themselves unwitting participants in a ludicrous experiment that blurs the line between living pranksters and reanimated antiquities, culminating in a frenetic chase that pits Victorian deceit against pseudo‑scientific ambition.
Synopsis

They hide in a couple of empty mummy cases--which are soon taken out and moved to a lab where a group of scientists hook them up to electrical equipment with the intent of bringing the "mummies" back to life!
