The war in Europe ends but a new adventure begins for Indy when a mysterious man's dying words, "The eye of the peacock!" send him and Remy on a thrilling treasure hunt for one of Alexander the Great's most prized possessions. Pursued by a dangerous one-eyed man, Indy follows the trail of the diamond from London to Alexandria to the South Seas, where he has a run-in with a murderous band of Chinese pirates. The shipboard battle that ensues is a spectacular display of swords, guns and flying fists. Marooned by the pirates on a remote desert island, Indy is captured by savage headhunters, but before they can turn him into a shrunken head and cannibal stew, he is rescued by anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski, and makes a life-altering decision.

That shipboard brawl with actual stuntwork — no greenscreen cowardice here.
Production
Genuine 1920s locations and boats they probably borrowed from a museum.
Director
Carl Schultz
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bronislaw Malinowski was a real pioneering anthropologist who actually conducted fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands during this exact period — the film's rare case of 'yes, that famous person randomly met Indiana Jones' having historical grounding.
This was edited from two Young Indiana Jones Chronicles episodes ('London, May 1916' and 'Congo, January 1917') with new bridging material shot specifically for the TV movie release — explaining its slightly Frankenstein-ed pacing.
