• Brapstein: Was a 60-year-old geologist. He was wise and experienced but very slow. He had recently won a noble prize for his translation of ancient handwritten books.

• Brapstein’s only trustee was Wheelobie. They knew each other from years ago when Dr. Brapstein got in Wheelobie’s car during an Uber Ride.

Storyline:

SCENE 1

Sahara Desert, Egypt, Morning

James Wheelobie and Doctor Brapstein wake up at their campsite and are looking forward to another day of searching for the ancient treasure found in the Tomb of Tut Ankh Amun. This treasure is rumoured to consist of gold, jewellery, but most importantly, ancient scriptures that used to belong to an Emperor that ruled centuries ago…

JAMES WHEELOBIE

Good Morning, Doc.

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

Good morning, James. Hopefully we don’t run into those bobcats again and we can just find the treasure already.

JAMES WHEELOBIE

I agree Doc. Where are we headed first?

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

That way! [excited]

Doc points in a direction and looks into the distance

JAMES WHEELOBIE

Well let’s get to it then! [excited]

Doc and Wheelobie hop in the car and drive in the direction that Doc has guided them. Doctor Brapstein uses his binoculars while James is driving to keep an eye on what’s ahead. Doc notices a car in the distance.

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

Would you believe it? There’s someone else headed there too!

JAMES WHEELOBIE

Is that really who I think it is? [in disbelief]

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

Who is it James?

JAMES WHEELOBIE

It’s William Seaforth III. [angry] He is a snobby wealthy man from back home. He only likes flashy expensive things which makes sense why he would be all this way to look for the treasure too.

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

I don’t want this ungrateful person to steal the treasure from us!

JAMES WHEELOBIE

Don’t worry Doc, the treasure is ours. We just have to beat them there.

James accelerates very fast in the direction towards the tomb. He is making good time. Seaforth and his men are taking a different path so they do not see Wheelobie and Doc yet.

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

Hurry up James! They’re on the faster path!

James kicks into the top gear which is dangerous on these hills and cliffs but he makes it his mission to beat Seaforth there. Going through rock arches, up and down hills, narrow paths on edges of cliffs, Wheelobie is doing what he does best… driving.

JAMES WHEELOBIE

How much further Doc?! [enthused with the thrill of danger]

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

Just over this hill!

As Wheelobie makes it to the crest of the hill. They both lay eyes on the eye-catching structure, The Tomb of Tut Ankh Amun. They have arrived.

JAMES WHEELOBIE

It’s beautiful Doc! [excited]

Dr. BRAPSTEIN

Isn’t it amazing! Wait. Where is Seaforth and his men?

WILLIAM SEAFORTH

Hey! [angrily]
