Plot summary[]
Opening bookend[]
Indiana Jones bungles the opening to a speech for the Pennsylvania Historical Society, fumbling over the podium and leading him to recall the many blunders he made as a spy in Barcelona.
Barcelona, May 1917[]
Indy joins up with an international trio of spies plotting against their German counterparts in the neutral city of Barcelona. After his old acquaintance Pablo Picasso helps him get a job at the Ballets Russes, Indy devises a plan to forge a love letter written by the German cultural attaché to make it seem the man was having an affair with the Countess of Toledo.
Closing bookend[]
As Jones wraps up his story to the group, a man enters the room to inform Professor Jones that his audience is waiting across the hall and informs him that he's in the wrong room and has been speaking to a group from the American Congress of Neurolog, not the Pennsylvania History Society.
