Turkish adjutant: Beersheba has no need of extra troops, General. She has the greatest ally of all: the desert.
- Alternate versionsThis extended version of "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, The" (1992) {Palestine, October 1917 (#2.21)} features the following new scenes:

Featured review
I cannot agree with Jellyneckr....the Young Indiana Jones films are excellent, full of good stories, good music and good acting, l think Sean Patrick Flannery does a great job.
Jellyneckr says this kind of film will appeal to the very young nly...well thanks for the compliment l`m over 50, and l have about 16 of the Young Indiana Jones films.....so l will give them all a good mark because l think they have kept the period and action up to par with the main films...do watch them if you can
8/10
Cheers...
