Plot[]
Frank and Sadie travel to Egypt to get a jade cat statue as a gift for their friend Chachacat, the fire demon. They encounter several booby traps, however as crocodiles and snakes do not live to be thousands of years old the Doyles are not harmed.
They reach the burial chamber and get the jade statue. While there, they inadvertently wake Kathuset, the mummy. He's enraged that Bast, the goddess he loved and worshiped, has not come to him, and he destroys his shrine to her. Bast appears, and threatens them. The Doyles call Chachacat to help them, and he and Bast hit it off.

Frank: I said gin.
--
Local: The black pyramid is danger even to look at it!
Frank: Nonsense, to look at it it's just a big triangle.
