The Story
Receiving orders to assist the British
in an attack on the ancient Middle Eastern desert
town of Beersheba, Indy goes undercover with a
beautiful lady spy. Relying on his wits and her
tantalizing skill at belly dancing, the daring
duo work desperately to defuse the explosives
placed in the city's vital water wells by the
occupying Turks. The story culminates in a spectacular
cavalry charge by the gallant soldiers of the
Australian Light Horsemen Regiment whose very
survival hinges on the success of Indy's mission.
