The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones Volume Three arrive 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 sixth disc.

The Mystery of the Blues (1:35:28) Wyoming, 1950. A middle-aged Indiana Jones is on the run, outwitting goons trying to steal a sacred Indian relic. Snowed in inside a cabin, Indy uncovers a relic from his past: a soprano sax. Playing a few notes brings back Indy's memories of Chicago, 1920, a time of prohibition, speakeasies and jazz.

Indy works as a waiter in Jim Colosimo's restaurant, and spends his breaks admiring the house band led by Sidney Bechet. Indy is crazy about jazz, sneaking out from the University of Chicago at night with his up-tight dorm-mate Eliot Ness to listen to jazz at clubs around town. Loving something and doing something are two very different things, as Indy discovers when he humiliates himself by taking a solo on his new soprano sax. Sidney agrees to teach him the ropes, and as Indy opens his eyes to the fundamentals of jazz, he also sees firsthand the often fierce racial divides splitting Chicago.

Then, one morning, gunfire rings out and Big Jim is shot dead in his own restaurant. Who's behind the murder? There's no shortage of suspects, but Indy and Eliot, joined by Indy's reporter friend Ernest Hemingway are determined the find the truth. Could it be his ex-wife, still steamed that she was left cold for 19-year old Dale Winter? What about Dion O'Banion, the Irish mobster from the North Side? And how about Johnny Torio and his new friend from New York, a scar-faced bartender named Al "Brown"? Even if Indy does uncover the truth, getting justice in a town as corrupt as Chicago may be a tall order.

Mystery of the Blues stars Sean Patrick Flanery and Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Guest stars include Jeffrey Wright (Casino Royale, Syriana) as Sidney Bechet, Jay Underwood (The Boy Who Could Fly) as Ernie Hemingway, Keith David (They Live, The Thing) as King Oliver, Frank Vincent ("The Sopranos", Goodfellas) as Johnny Torio, Frederick Weller (The Business of Strangers, "Missing Persons") as Eliot Ness, Maria Howell (Daddy's Little Girls) as Goldie, Nicholas Turturro (I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, "N.Y.P.D Blue") as Al Brown, Saginaw Grant (The World's Fastest Indian) as Great Cloud, Jane Krakowski ("Ally McBeal", "30 Rock") as Dale Winter, David Arnott (Little Big League) as Clifford, Victor Slezak (The Bridges of Madison County, The Siege) as O'Bannion, and Ray Serra (Prizzi's Honor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as Big Jim Colosimo.
