Quiet Please, We're Egyptian

Quiet Please, We're Egyptian is an episode of The Crowville Chronicles from Season 1.

Summary
Crazy Crow "the last in a long line of newspaper reporter", has been going through a rough patch. While awaiting his breakfast of "hot cocoa and chocky bickies", Ozzie's tomfoolery nearly kills Crazy Crow and he decides that he has had enough. He wants to give up his title and moving away to South America. In order to remind him of his proud heritage, Mr. Buck takes him through the officer's picture gallery to show him some of his noble ancestors. While being lectured about the pictures, Crazy Crow asks Mr. Buck about his great-uncle's great-uncle, the Archcrow McGanza. Mr. Buck explains McGanza's lifelong ambition to find the The Mystic Saxophone, an instrument known to give anyone who plays it the power over life and death. This excites Crazy Crow, who wants to find the saxophone himself, thus fulfilling Archcrow McGanza's legacy.

Crazy Crow, Mr. Buck and Ozzie set off to Egypt to find the saxophone using the office's closet. The Crow Brothers, who were overhearing Mr. Buck's story about the legend of the Mystic Saxophone earlier, are unwittingly tagged along with them. The two parties set off to find the saxophone and a lot of trouble ensues.
