The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Volume Three arrives on DVD on April 29th in a ten-disc boxed set (see the original announcement here). Here's a look at what's on the second disc.

Masks of Evil (1:36:14) Indiana Jones is on a top-secret intelligence mission in Istanbul, posing as Swedish journalist "Nils Anderson." With the help of his newfound love, an American named Molly, Indy has made contact with Halide Edib and Mustafa Kemal, key voices in the struggle for Turkish identity and independence. Indy is attempting to use his cover as a representative of a neutral nation to broker a peace deal between France and Kemal, but it's a dangerous proposition... especially when couriers carrying the vital document begin dying. There's a double agent in Indy's spy network, and he can't trust anybody, and because of the web of lies he needs to spin to stay alive, Molly may not be able to trust him.

After the intrigue in Istanbul, Indy is handpicked by American Intelligence in Venice for an undercover mission in Transylvania. The forces of the mysterious General Targo have raided enemy and allied P.O.W. camps for reasons unknown. Some figure that Targo may be building his own separatist army. Teamed with special mission agents, Indy infiltrates Targo's castle-keep to learn that the bloodthirsty general may be styling his campaign of domination after the legendary Vlad Tepes. Is there more than just a penchant for impaling bodies on spikes that connect Targo to Dracula? With bleeding walls, spontaneous combustion and undead soldiers, this is one Indiana Jones adventure you won't forget.

Masks of Evil stars Sean Patrick Flanery as Indy. Guest stars include Katherine Butler as Molly, Keith Szarabajka ("Angel") as Colonel Waters, Peter Firth ("Spooks," Amistad) as Stefan, Bob Peck (Jurassic Park, Smilla's Sense of Snow) as General Targo, and Ahmet Levendoglu as Mustafa Kemal.

For the People, Despite the People: The Atatürk Revolution (0:30:24) At the end of World War I, the Ottoman Empire paid the ultimate price for choosing the wrong side. The winners, Britain and France, marched in and began to carve it up. Then an army arose out of nowhere, expelled the invaders from its homeland, and proclaimed the Republic of Turkey. All because of one man, Mustafa Kemal, or, as he came to be known, Atatürk -- father of the Turks. Enormously ambitious for himself and his people, Atatürk saw independence as just the beginning. He would not only transform the government, but also how people dressed, worshipped, wrote, and named themselves -- individually and as a nation. Produced and Written by Sharon Wood

The Greedy Heart of Halide Edib (0:28:23) In novels, memoirs, and essays, the Turkish writer Halide Edib chronicled the most cataclysmic change in the history of her country: its creation after World War I from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire. She not only wrote about it, she was one of the creators. And in that process, she helped secure a prominent place in public life for Turkish women. But in 1919, her country was about to become a colony. British and Greek invaders patrolled key cities, and wanted more. In occupied Istanbul, Halide Edib put down her pen, sent her two young sons away to safety abroad, and headed to the hills to join a small rebel band fighting for freedom. For Halide Edib, the choice was clear: she had to go. But she also kept a record of events -- memoirs -- for the youth on both sides fighting and dying around her, and for her own sons, far away. Produced and Written by Sharon Wood

The Ottoman Empire: A World of Difference (0:33:05) The Ottoman Empire lasted some 600 years, and spanned three continents. It was not only their military campaigns that made the Ottomans a force to be reckoned with for centuries. In an era when neighboring states persecuted, exiled, or massacred their minorities, the Islamic Ottoman state was willing to tolerate difference. Its subjects included not only Muslims, but large numbers of Christians and Jews. As Ottoman power eventually ebbed, the diversity that been a strength in one era became a weakness in another. Changing political forces within and without the Empire created a toxic stew of ethnic and religious hatred. That hatred would finally boil over amid the carnage of World War I, and contribute to the Ottoman Empire's own death rattle. Produced and Written by Sharon Wood

Dracula: Fact and Fiction (0:24:53) Few figures are so well known and strike as much terror as that of the vampire known as "Dracula." This creature -- not yet dead, but no longer alive -- has at one time or another tempted, fascinated and repelled us all. When writer Bram Stoker published Dracula in 1897, he couldn't have predicted that he was creating a figure who was larger than death. Today, he might be timeless, but in the 15th century, he was all too real. His name was Prince Vlad Dracula whom history has come to know as Vlad the Impaler. In many ways, the reality of Dracula's life was more terrifying than the fiction he helped inspire, his story more shocking than anything Hollywood could manufacture. Produced and Written by Adam Sternberg
