Role in episode[]
After the Krusty Krab runs out of mustard, Mr. Krabs orders SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward to go down into the Mustard Mine and fetch some more of it. However, Walter Haddock, a crazy old prospector, tells them that the mine is cursed by a mummy.
They still go there anyway and eventually find mustard and begin to dig it up. However, the prospector comes back and plugs the hole. He then tells them the real reason he didn't want them looking for the mustard was because it would explode due to the 20 million pounds of pressure on top of it, and he also made up the mummy story to try do discourage them from looking. After a brief fight, the mustard begins to erupt and spurt up into the Krusty Krab.
