King Tut intends to exploit a mine of precious material that is located just below the Wayne Manor. Batman tries to stop him since these works could lead the villain to enter the Batcave, a fact that finally cannot prevent it from happening.

This exciting episode features an impressive fight between the villains and the dynamic duo inside the batcave, probably the production had already decided to cancel the series and that is why great destruction is done on the set of the batcave.

King Tut (Victor Buono) makes his final appearance.

Very funny and very clever episode. It seems the writers of the series still have some clever plots to tell even right down to the 4th last show of the series...this adventure makes you wish 1966 Batman got another season!!!

The moment where King Tut finds the man-sized dummy Batman must go down as one of the most amusing moments of the whole series.

Also note, we get some new camera angles of the batcave here, but why did they wait so long in the series to use them...better late than never I guess.

As this is the last Victor Buono show in the series, some viewers might wish to track down other non-Batman Buono work to keep the experience alive. If so, I personally would watch the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode titled, The Cyborg (1965), where Buono is still up to no good and making killer robots.

"I'll Be a Mummy's Uncle" marked the finale for Victor Buono's delightful King Tut, who manages to escape Mount Ararat Hospital right under the nose of his slumbering, 'dirty asp in the grass' psychiatrist, victimizing poor Rosetta Stone (Kathleen Freeman) for the exact amount of cash to purchase a plot of land adjacent to Stately Wayne Manor from none other than Henny Youngman as Manny the Mesopotamian ("no middle initial?" "never use it!"). Perhaps still smarting from being outwitted by Bruce Wayne and Batman side by side, Tut's 'nose for Nilanium' not only detects the world's hardest metal in the world right here in Gotham City, but in H.L. Hunter (Jock Mahoney) mining on the pilfered property actually burrows into the Batcave, rejoicing in the knowledge that he was right all along about the Dynamic Duo's true identities. Were it not for King Tut's frequent lapses of memory one might actually fear for Batman, about to spill the beans to Batgirl and Commissioner Gordon, the latter surprised that Tut would be so jolly at being incarcerated: "I know, and so would you if you knew what I know, and if I know you, no doubt you know what I know now, no huh? Why waste my time with someone who knows, I gotta find someone who doesn't know, do you know?" Only Batman's timely arrival can prevent catastrophe and restore Professor William Omaha McElroy to his former position at Yale once again. Buono has such a ball with every performance that one wishes there had been as many Tut adventures as Joker and Penguin, the viewer the ultimate loser. As 'Florence of Arabia,' Playboy Playmate Angela Dorian aka Victoria Vetri provides yet more delicious eye candy in her skimpy outfit (Tut: "Flo, your assets far outnumber your liabilities!"), gags and ad libs flying with great speed. Tutling Suleiman the Great (Joey Tata) praises his Pharaoh by calling him 'Don Juan of Aswan': "I like that, leave it in!" A conversation about poetry between Robin and Barbara Gordon is quickly put to rest by Batman: "enough prose and cons, Robin!"
