November, 1916. Having transferred from the Western Front to Africa, Indiana Jones and Remy Baudouin are both promoted but they quickly get lost trying to join their new unit. Instead, they end up in the company of the 25th Royal Fusiliers, a unit of cranky old men led by Indy's old acquaintance, Frederick Selous -- who are about to go on a mission to find and destroy a train that carries an enormous German naval gun which is being used to shell the British positions from inland. After accomplishing their goal, Selous tricks Indy and Remy into joining his unit for another caper involving the capture of the Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the commander of the German forces in East Africa.

* AmbiguousSituation: What nationality is Zoltan? Although the 25th Fusiliers are clearly a British Army unit, they are rather multi-national, with their ranks including an Australian and an American (even though the USA was neutral at the time). Selous refers to Zoltan as "the best clown in Europe" but no more is said of his background [[note]] Perry Davey, the actor who played him, is Australian [[/note]]. It is also unclear ''which'' King Parks used to be the secretary to — it would either be Edward VII (who died in 1910) or George V;

* MexicanStandoff: In the climax, Indy pulls a gun on Lettow-Vorbeck, Margaret pulls a gun on Indy — and Remy pulls a gun on Margaret.

* MexicanStandoff: In the climax, Indy pulls a gun on Lettow-Vorbeck, Margaret pulls a gun on Indy — and Remy pulls a gun on Margaret. It's resolved by the arrival of the German army, which leads Indy to decide that in order to survive (he having been given no orders to follow), he cannot kill Lettow-Vorbeck. So he lowers his gun, and so does everyone else.
