(Sorry about the length)
Ordinary world- Indiana the HERO is in China selling an artifact to a shady Chinese guy. Indiana gets poisoned and is almost killed by the shady Chines guy, and on the way out Indiana picks up a ditzy singer named Willy Scott. With the help of a small Chinese sidekick named Short Round, the trio gets to a plane owned by the shady Chinese guy. While airborne, the pilots dump the fuel and jump out of the plane taking all the parachutes with them, leaving the plane to crash. The trio jumps out of the plane in an inflatable life raft, (somehow) and float down a river to India. They meet a creepy Indian guy who leads him to his ravaged village. This is a really sucky ordinary world.
Call to Adventure- Indiana and crew go to the village and are told by the creepy guy, that some @*$ hole burned the crops and and took the village children/sacred rock to a formerly abandoned palace that is shrouded in evil. The village elders ask Indian to get back the children/sacred rock (whichever comes first.)
Refusal of the Call- Indiana declines and asks for a guide to Delhi. A short while later a thin kid stumbles into the village with a scrap of cloth in his hand. The village women freak out, and Indiana discovers the cloth says the rock the bad guys stole is fortune and glory. Indian gets dollar signs in his eyes and agrees to get the sacred rock/children back (whichever comes first.)
Meeting the Mentor- Indy kind of met the mentor when he met the creepy old guy. Although the creepy old guy is more of the HERALD.
Crossing the Threshold- Indiana and comp. travel by elephant to the evil palace, and the singer becomes even more annoying than before. A little ways off from the Temple of Doom, Indy comes upon an idol that is decorated with human organs/appendages. They come to the temple and have a disgusting dinner.
Tests, Allies, Enemies- Indy meets up with a creepy viceroy to the young prince, the prince, and the cool British commander. During dinner, Indy asks about an evil cult who sacrificed people to their god, and pisses off his host. After dinner, Indy is almost killed by one of the cultists, and he finds a secret passageway.
Approach- Indy follows the secret passageway to a chamber filled with bugs, and is trapped in a room of doom, which gives the singer an opportunity to be more annoying. The trio follow the secret passageway to a ceremony during which somebody gets their heart ripped out and set on fire. The sacred rocks are presented in the ceremony and when it's over Indiana tries to get the rocks and is captured along with the singer, and the Chinese kid. The evil guy reveals his secret plans, they find the kids being put to work, Indy and the kid get whipped and thankfully the singer disappears.
Ordeal- Indy is drugged into servitude to the evil cult, the kid is put to work with the other kids, and the singer is about to be sacrificed. Indiana goes through the process of sacrificing the singer and she is almost sacrificed, when the kid breaks free and smacks Indy with a torch. The fire brings him back to reality and he rescues the singer (sigh.) He is about to take out the evil priest when the priest uses his "In case of angry white man with his shirt off" trap door and escapes. Indy collects the sacred rocks and sets off to free the children. He does so and has a huge fight with a fat guy, which nis frequently interrupted by the young prince poking a voodoo doll of Indy with a feather. The fight ends with the fat guy being crushed, and the prince having the crap beat out of him by Short Round, who eventually whacks the prince with a torch. The trio escape in a mine cart after an intense chase scene with other mine carts, and are almost killed by a flood of water sent by the evil priest. The trio got to an extension bridge, which Indiana cuts and kills a bunch of evil cultists, and eventually the priest. Indiana is almost shot by the evil cultists and the British commander comes to the rescue.
Reward- Indy gets the sacred rock and the kids and returns to the village where the creepy Indian guy asks him if he understands the rocks power, Indy nods. He gets the girl, the kid, and knowledge.
