''[[The Mole People]]'' is a black-and-white sci-fi movie starring John Agar and Hugh Beaumont as archaeologists searching for remnants of the Sumerian civilization. After a monologue by an English professor essentially [[Lampshade Hanging]] that the movie is fiction, we're brought to unspecified Asia (probably the Himalayas) where the search is ongoing.
Unfortunately, an earthquake destroys the oldest extant record, but lo! The earthquake has also dislodged a fresh relic which a Sherpa boy dutifully brings the Heroes.
