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".
