INDIANA JONES IV (a.k.a. Indiana Jones and the Monkey King / Indiana Jones and the Garden of Life) script

Professor Indiana Jones, joined by his student Betsy, zoologist Dr. Clare Clarke, and guide Scraggy Brier, embarks on a perilous quest to find the Monkey King and the Garden of Immortal Peaches in Africa, guided by the ancient pygmy Tyki. Their journey is relentlessly threatened by the Pirate King Kezure, tribal warriors, and a Nazi contingent led by Sgt. Gutterbuhg and Lieut. Von Mephisto, all vying for the Garden's power, forcing Indy and his allies to navigate traps, stampedes, and tank battles. After reaching the Lost City of Sun Wu-Kung and defeating the Nazis in a climactic battle, the group enters the Garden of Immortal Peaches, where Kezure's betrayal results in his curse. Indy prepares to leave Mozambique, while Betsy chooses to remain with Clare and the pygmies, having discovered her own adventure.
