The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Volume Two arrives on DVD on December 18 in a nine-disc boxed set (see the original announcement here). Here's a look at what's on the seventh disc.

Espionage Escapades (1:33:53) Indy's undercover adventures continue in Barcelona, where he joins a trio of international spies -- Marcello the Italian, Charles the Frenchman, and Cunningham the Englishman. Together they contact an elaborate plot to disrupt the balance of diplomatic power and allegiances in the neutral city. Their fiendish plot, to make it appear as if the Countess of Toledo is carrying on an affair with a German colonel. Indy will help facilitate this illusion with his "low profile" cover as a ballet dancer in Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, a job he lands thanks to his previous acquaintance with Pablo Picasso. Indy is hired to "stand still," but he can hardly keep quiet as the complex caper begins to unravel during a performance thanks to the bumbling of his comrades.

Indy's next assignment is more-or-less solo and fiendishly cryptic. Posing as lady's undergarment salesman, he is to make his way to Prague, to check into a hotel in order to receive a phone call at a specific day and time -- innumerable lives are at stake. When Indy arrives, he discovers there is no phone installed in his room. The dehumanizing bureaucracy, endless forms, and mountainous paperwork required to get a working phone installed are labyrinthine and maddening. Can a clerk at the office, Franz Kafka, help navigate this surreal nightmare before Indy loses his mind?

Espionage Escapades stars Sean Patrick Flanery as Indy. Guest stars include Tim McInnerny ("Blackadder") as Franz Kafka, Amanda Ooms (The Mozart Brothers) as Nadia, Timothy Spall (Enchanted, Wormtail in the Harry Potter movies) as Cunningham, Kenneth Cranham, Harry Enfield ("Harry Enfield's Television Programme") as the chauffeur, Terry Jones (from Monty Python fame) as Marcello, William Hootkins (Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark) as Diaghilev, Liz Smith (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as Delfina and Danny Webb (Alien³) as Picasso.

Impresario: Sergei Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes (0:28:13) Fearless, strong-willed and always a champion of the modern, Sergei Diaghilev discovered a talented group of artists and inspired them to reach new creative heights. Diaghilev wasn't a dancer, choreographer or composer, but he was the impresario, and the show couldn't go on without him. Together, they shaped ballet into a new art form, leaving an indelible mark on art for the 20th Century. Produced and written by David O'Dell.

Ballet: The Art of Dance (0:32:16) Beautiful and effortless, ballet is one of the world's most elegant art forms -- the human body as poetry in motion. Achieving and maintaining the artful illusion of ballet is all-important; but it's just that, an illusion meant to appear effortless. What kind of commitment does it take for dancers to master the unmistakable yet rigorous style of ballet? And where does that commitment lead young dancers in their pursuit of excellence? Produced and written by David O'Dell.

Franz Kafka's Dark Truth (0:31:21) Franz Kafka had made his living as an attorney in an insurance company, where he'd eked out an obscure and unexceptional life. But when the lawyer put pen to paper, the writer conjured a disturbing world where the absurd was commonplace and reality a nightmare. Since his death, Franz Kafka's work has become enormously influential. It remains unrivaled for its intensity, modernity and prescience. Produced and written by Adam Sternberg.
