The Story
Going undercover as a dancer for
the Ballet Russe
in Spain, Indy meets an old friend, the flamboyant
Pablo Picasso. Plotting to discredit some German
diplomats, Indy engages in a series of comic misadventures
with a trio of bumbling spies before being shipped
off to Prague on another mission.
His assignment is simple: get a telephone installed
in his apartment and wait for instructions. Yet,
apathetic officials, mind-numbing rules and infinite
paperwork thwart Indy at every turn. Only one
man, Franz Kafka, offers him any assistance.
This chapter is a farcical take
on the stereotypically suave portrayal of espionage
and pokes fun at the narrow-minded evil of bureaucracy,
which weaves its ineffectual web into an absurd
straightjacket.
