Further details
Dodger encounters a 'mummy unrolling' - a posh craze in Victorian times - and reckons it's too good an opportunity to be missed - think of all the pockets to be picked!
Having accidentally nicked a mummy of their own from outside the British Museum, he then comes up with a plan: they'll do their own mummy unrolling in the pub. Fagin is freaked out and locks himself in his room - the spirits have been disturbed and no good will come of this, but Dodger believes it'll be a real money spinner.
The event takes an unexpected turn when the pub basement is filled with escaping scarab beetles and Dodger is kidnapped. Will the gang make it in time to save him from a bizarre fate?
