Spring Break Adventure | Love's Sweet Song | Trenches of Hell
Young Indy Home
Indiana Jones finds that love and politics don't mix when he visits the British Isles. Landing in Ireland right before the Easter Rebellion, Indy mixes romance and revolutionary politics when he falls for beautiful young Colleen whose brother is mixed up in the Irish resistance movement. Across the waters in England he encounters a similar problem when his love affair with a strong-willed young woman is derailed by her fervent belief in the women's suffrage movement and her need for independence. Desperate street brawls, a terrifying Zeppelin raid and a seriocomic dinner party with Winston Churchill provide plenty of thrills in this exciting romantic adventure. Guest stars include Elizabeth Hurley and Academy Award-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave.
