The Story

Nine-year-old Indy has an artful adventure with young Norman Rockwell while visiting the Louvre Museum in Paris. The two set off on an adventure in Montmartre where they find themselves caught up in a humorous scheme of the brash young artist Pablo Picasso to prove to the older Edgar Degas that Picasso can paint as well as Degas. The boys are invited to a banquet at Picasso's studio in honor of Henri Rousseau. Along the way they learn what Cubism is all about.

A year later, Young Indy and his parents are along for a rough ride when they join Theodore Roosevelt on a safari in British East Africa (now Kenya). Roosevelt is on an official expedition sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution to collect specimens of the elusive Fringe-Eared oryx for the National Museum in Washington.
With the help of his new friend Meto, a local Massai boy, young Indy has found the rare antelope for Teddy Roosevelt. But Indy also learns how the enthusiasm for hunting causes the unnecessary slaughter of rare animals. Now Indy must decide if he agrees with Roosevelt's view on "animal conservation".
