| The Story
Indy is ordered to locate and destroy
a powerful German artillery gun that is mysteriously
able to appear and disappear at will, leaving
death and destruction in its wake. Assisting him
is a colorful group of soldiers nicknamed "The
Old and the Bold" because of their old age
and reckless courage. Overcoming all manner of
obstacles presented by the enemy, his own side
and the harsh African terrain, Indy relentlessly
follows the trail of the mega-gun right into the
bowels of a secret mountain hideout where he plans
an explosive end for the phantom train of doom.
The train has just been destroyed
and Indy, Remy accompanied by "The Old and
the Bold" are send out on a new mission;
to find and capture the German General Von Lettow-Vorbeck.
