The story
In 1935, American archeologist Indiana Jones survives a murder attempt in Shanghai by Triad crime boss Lao Che, who hired him to retrieve the remains of Nurhaci.
The plane's pilots dump the fuel and parachute away, but Jones, Willie, and Short Round escape using an inflatable raft before the plane crashes.
Traveling to the palace, the trio are warmly welcomed and allowed to stay for the night as guests, attending a banquet hosted by the palace's young maharaja, Zalim Singh.
