SATIPO: [picking up poison dart] The Hovitos are near. [tastes the end of the dart, spits it out quickly] The poison is still fresh, three days. They're following us.
BARRANCA: If they knew we were here, they would have killed us already.

In one of the entry chambers, a colony of tarantulas drops onto the two men. Using his bullwhip, Jones brushes off his own back and then the back of his guide.

Forrestal went missing while searching for the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol in Peru. In Raiders, Indy finds his corpse impaled on a spike trap.

The golden idol is placed upon an ancient Chachapoyan altar. It is the exact weight to hold an ancient self-destruct mechanism in place. Jones is aware of the booby trap and tries to replace the idol with a bag of sand, but his attempt fails when he incorrectly estimates the weight of the idol.

Indy avoids various traps, the betrayal of his two guides, Barranca and Satipo, and a giant rolling boulder that chases him out of the temple, only to find his nemesis, French archaeologist René Belloq, waiting for him outside with a small army of Hovitos natives.

After Belloq steals the idol, Jones escapes (just barely) in a pontoon plane piloted by Jock Lindsey who is waiting nearby.

Indy is not pleased about sharing his seat with Reggie, Jock's pet boa constrictor, during their escape.

Jones has many female admirers attending his lectures at Marshall College. One expresses her infatuation by writing "Love you" on her eyelids.

MAJOR EATON: Dr. Jones, we've heard a great deal about you.
JONES: Have you?
MAJOR EATON: Professor of Archaeology, expert on the occult and, how does one say it ... obtainer of rare antiquities?
JONES: That's one way of saying it.
