Feature(s): The Adventures of Bob Hope

Character(s): Bob Hope; Harvard Harvard III; George Washington; Kelly (Nigel); Hessian soldiers; Cleopatra; Mark Antony; Tuesday Wednesday

Synopsis: Washington convinces Bob to infiltrate the Hessian camp disguised as Mrs. Santa Claus, leaving time-bomb cuckoo clocks. Learning that Antony gave the statuette to Cleopatra, Bob and Harvard travel through time to the Battle of Actium. Cleopatra shows Bob the treasure's location, in exchange for which he and Harvard attack Octavian's fleet with horrible-smelling blue cheese. Returning to 1964, Bob and Harvard learn that Cleopatra honored them with giant statues... but the statues and the treasure are now beneath an artificial lake on the Nile.

Notes: The damming of the Nile echoes the controversial dam that flooded the site of the temple of Abu Simbel at the time. The entire issue springboards from the current movie spectacular "Cleopatra," starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Rex Harrison -- although Antony in the story has the face of Marlon Brando.
