The first 7 minutes features a battle during WW1, the Belgians and French against the Germans. The Germans seem to have the upper hand, with their machine gun, and the troops are ordered to retreat. But young Indy notices that the machine gunners are reloading and he disobeys the retreat order, captures the machine gun post, and the Germans are defeated. His own field commanding officer wants to discipline him, but instead Indy gets a promotion to Captain.
All this sets up the rest of the movie, which is an expedition across 2000 miles of Africa, to the west coast to get guns stranded there on a ship. They find hardships and illness, and lose many men. But it does take him to the hospital of a German doctor, who happens to be Albert Schweitzer. Besides healing Indy and the surviving men, the good Doctor gives Indy wisdom, the idea that all life is sacred and people must never kill without examining the impacts.
All this is based on the real life of Dr. Schweitzer, who eventually won a Nobel prize for his work in Africa and his philosophies.
Sean Patrick Flanery is young Indiana Jones and Ronny Coutteure is his friend Remy Baudouin . Friedrich von Thun is the good doctor Albert Schweitzer.
In addition to presenting an interesting Young Indy episode, the DVD has a 28-minute "extra" on the life of Schweitzer, how he was moved to choose his life's work in Africa.
