El Joven Indiana Jones

While traveling with his father's world-wide lecture tour, nine-year old Indy encounters an ancient mummy and a fresh corpse at an archaeological dig in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings. After solving the mystery, with help from Lawrence of Arabia, he is kidnapped by slave traders and taken across the Sahara to the slave market at Marrakech. All his newly-honed wits are needed to escape.

On safari in the Masai Mara game preserve in Kenya with Teddy Roosevelt, Indy becomes lost in the vast and dangerous wilderness. Later, in Paris, he explores the fine-art scene and the rather wilder cafe scenes of Montmartre with a young Norman Rockwell.

First love - or first infatuation - overwhelms Indy in Vienna where he is smitten with the daughter of Archduke Francis Ferdinand. Needing emotional guidance, Indy consults Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung to discover what love is all about. In Florence, when Indy's mother is equally smitten with Giacomo Puccini, composer of Romantic operas La Boheme and Tosca, Indy must guide his parent safely back to her spouse.

The elder Jones's lecture tour takes parents and son to India, where Indy explores the meaning of faith in oneself with Theosophist philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti. When Indy falls victim to typhoid fever in China, his mother must have faith and trust that the villagers' ancient medicines will save him.

Indy and his girlfriend, Nancy Stratemeyer, whose father created the Nancy Drew mystery series, visit the laboratory of inventor Thomas Edison. The two must contend with dangerous German spies as they struggle to keep Edison's top secret new invention out of the hands of hostile enemy agents. To keep him from getting into any more trouble, Indy is sent to visit his aunt in New Mexico. While there, he is kidnapped by Pancho Villa and swept into the Mexican Revolution. Chaotic, free-wheeling border towns, a "Wild Bunch" style train robbery and a colorful barroom encounter with a young George Patton make for thrilling entertainment.
