Washington convinces Bob to infiltrate the Hessian camp disguised as Mrs. Santa Claus, leaving time-bomb cuckoo clocks. Learning that Antony gave the statuette to Cleopatra, Bob and Harvard travel through time to the Battle of Actium. Cleopatra shows Bob the treasure's location, in exchange for which he and Harvard attack Octavian's fleet with horrible-smelling blue cheese. Returning to 1964, Bob and Harvard learn that Cleopatra honored them with giant statues... but the statues and the treasure are now beneath an artificial lake on the Nile.
