A mine rescue uncovers the pyramid of Sapa Quepanqui, the Laughing King. When Lady Penelope is ordered to look into the professor in charge of the archeological find, she, Parker, and Gordon end up trapped inside the pyramid which is full of traps.
Tropes:
- Adventurer Archaeologist: Professor Harold is willing to take great risks for his job—because he's skimming treasures on the side.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: Gordon and Lady Penelope engage in some of this due to him being more protective toward her than she'd like.
- Big Brother Instinct: Scott is not happy when he finds out Professor Harold didn't report Gordon and the others getting trapped inside the pyramid and would have punched him if Virgil hadn't intervened.Scott: You rat-faced weasel!
- Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: Parker contacted IR on the sly and asked them to send accompaniment as Penelope explored the pyramid. He's not pleased to find out they sent Gordon, because he knows his and Penelope's BST/UST is just going to spur her into taking bigger risks.
- Crazy-Prepared: Gordon takes the all-terrain kit on a mission to explore a pyramid.
