Young Indy Home
While on mission in Africa, Indy is introduced to the plight of war torn Africa and the abuse of African soldiers by allied commanders. After coming across a village destroyed by disease, Indy discovers a lone surviving African child and endangers the lives of his fellow soldiers when he takes the child into his care. Realizing the futility of war, Indy begins to rethink his support for the Great War. As hope fades, Indy finds Dr. Albert Schweitzer and discovers that there is still good in people and hope for humanity.
