(Continued from Episode 34) Although Alfred and Buffoon somehow manage to extricate themselves from this trap, it takes them some other ordeals as well in the course of their search. A guide for tourists visiting the pyramid then tells them of a fortuneteller living in a town some miles away, who finally tells the two a secret entrance leading to the sarcophagus as he hears that Ramzess, a cousin of his, is a good friend of both Alfred's and Buffoon's.

Orphaned duck Alfred J. Kwak grows up with his pal Hank the Mole. Alfred is an alert and musical duck who will not shut his eyes to what is happening in the animal world around him. He and his friends always strive for a better world. Alfred waddles through life, following his conscience and his feeling of justice, which made him world-famous in past years. He is a Don Quixote on duck feet!
