Indy finds that he must enlist the help of Hapsburg royalty when he embarks on a dangerous diplomatic mission through enemy-held Europe into the palace of Emperor Karl of Austria. Endangering his life and the lives of his royal charges, Indy gambles all in a desperate attempt to bring the war more quickly to an end. Then, in chaos-ridden Russia, Indy finds his espionage work once again threatening lives when he infiltrates a group of young Bolsheviks and begins to empathize with their plight. As the country lurches toward revolution, Indy finds himself torn between loyalty to his friends and his military duty.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was edited from two episodes of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (1992-1993), which George Lucas created to educate viewers about 20th century history.
The real Sixtus Affair was a genuine 1917 secret peace attempt — Emperor Karl I was actually beatified by the Catholic Church in 2004, making this one of cinema's rare saint appearances.
