His Majesty Bunker Bean

About the show

Bunker Bean is a stenographer who lacks self-confidence and initiative. He is transformed after a meeting with the Countess, a psychic, who convinces him that he is the reincarnation of the Egyptian Pharaoh Ram-Tah, a king of allegedly great historic importance. This false belief instills in Bunker Bean a renewed sense of confidence and self importance which allow him to go boldly into the world with kingly resolve. A farcical comedy ensues when Bean fires himself from his job. He ends up besting his former boss in business, and becomes romantically involved with his former boss's daughter, The Flapper, after she discovers a mummy in Bunker Bean's room and becomes fascinated with a man she previously found dull. Bean obtained the mummy from Egypt after sending off for the remains of his former self, Ram-Tah. A comedy of absurdity ensues with a revolving group of eccentric characters. All ends well in the end.
