After his escape from a German POW castle Indy ends up as a motorcycle courier for the French against the backdrop of the Battle of Verdun. Remy ends up being injured before being sent back into harms way overnight. Indy then decides to sabotage communication between the higher officers to prevent another troop massacre.
Then, on a short leave of action, he and Remy travel to Paris to stay where Indy stays with a friend of his dad's. Almost immediately he is smitten by Mata Hari and drawn into her rather boring web of deceit.
The pyrotechnics are impressive but the fast-moving action of the first half comes to a sudden halt as Indy gets wound-up in the soap opera love story that follows. And what's with the flash-forwards of Mata Hari's death? That made no sense at all.
Definitely the weakest Young Indy yet.
