March 2, 1957: It's almost as though Sam were on vacation when, as Egyptologist Dale Conway, he gets to read hieroglyphics, search lost tombs, and, of course, visit Egypt. But between an encroaching sandstorm, computer glitches back at the Project, the suspicious deaths of the guides, and a 3000-year-old curse to round things off, Sam has very little time to play in the sand.

Elaine borrows Jerry's car and tries to explain away the strange sound it makes after she uses it with a crazy story. Mike, one of Kramer's friends, thinks Jerry is a phony and George gets into a fight with Mike over a parking space.
