The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt

Johnny is fascinated when he learns about the death of H. Bagwell Glomus. There are rumors that Glomus has left a will, but the location and contents of the will are a mystery, and there are only a few clues. Johnny's grandmother falls ill, but cannot afford the costly operation that she needs. Johnny decides he will solve the mystery of Glomus' will in order to earn a $10,000 reward to help pay for his grandmother's operation.

Johnny goes to a Boy Scout camp in New Hampshire where he makes a new friend, Fergie (Byron Ferguson). Johnny tells Fergie about his leads in the mystery. The two boys decide to explore the mansion near the camp, because it used to be owned by Mr. Glomus. There they meet Chad Glomus, Mr. Glomus' nephew, who is also looking for the will at the mansion. Chad shows them a secret passage and warns them about the Guardian, a ghost who guards the will and kills people who get too close to it. As they are leaving, Johnny and Fergie hear a scream. The boys look for Chad Glomus, but cannot find him anywhere. They believe the Guardian has killed Chad.

Johnny learns that his grandmother needs an operation that she cannot afford. Johnny decides to find the will so he can use the $10,000 reward to pay for his grandmother's operation. Johnny returns to New Hampshire on his own and spends the night in a hotel. While retrieving the flashlight he has dropped out of the window of his room, Johnny overhears the hotel owner saying she can control the Guardian. The owner says she will make the Guardian kill Johnny. Johnny becomes nervous and decides to leave immediately.

Meanwhile, Johnny's friend Professor Childermass and Fergie are following Johnny. They go to the hotel where they meet the landlady, who frightens them out of their wits. Johnny arrives at the mansion, enters a passage, and is scared by a mummy of Chad Glomus. Johnny finds a hidden box of bouillon cubes and thinks the story of the will is fake. Then Johnny is chased by the mummy until he manages to keep the mummy from entering the church. Johnny climbs to the top of the church tower and faints. Upon regaining consciousness in the hospital, Johnny suddenly realizes the will is in the Godfrey Bouillon statue that stands outside of the Glomus mansion. Even though the mansion and statue had burned while Johnny was unconscious, Johnny receives the $10,000 reward from Annabelle Glomus for finding the tattered, burned will.
