Masks of Evil | Treasure of the Peacock's Eye | Winds of Change
Young Indy Home

As World War I winds down, Indy teams up with his old friend Remy to track down a saboteur in the trenches. When the traitor is finally discovered, his dying words and a map send Indy and Remy around the world to find the Treasure of the Peacock’s Eye. Along the way Indy meets up with his old friend Howard Carter who is travelling with E.M. Forster. Following a dangerous trail that leads them from London to Alexandria and finally to the South China Seas, Indy finds himself making a life altering decision that will eventually lead him back home to America. One-eyed Germans, headhunting natives, and Chinese pirates make this exciting quest a foreshadowing of the Indiana Jones that will mature into the whip-cracking adventurer that we all love.
