| Plot Summary of Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants |
|---|
"The young Indiana Jones starts his first teaching post as an archeology professor at the London University. Scottish-born twenty-year old Deirdre Campbell one of his students and also the brightest, claims in her thesis that she discovered a golden scroll which is proof of the existence of the mythical sorcerer Merlin. Intrigued by this, Indy joins Deirdre and together they set off to various locations on Britain and Scotland. However obtaining the truth behind this myth is not as easy as it seems, since Adrian Powell, a Parliament member, is also seeking to resurrect the ancient order of the Druids and through it gain great power to conquer the world. It is at Stonehenge where they experience the savage dance of the giants and where the secret of Merlin is revealed.
