The film is set in 1934, it is a prequel to the entire film series. The film starts in 1964, where 65 Year old Henry "Indiana" Jones is entertaining the people at Demetrius Brody's 50th Birthday party with his adventurous stories. Demetrius is the son of Marcus Brody, friend of Indiana that passed away in 1952. Demetrius asks Indiana to tell the story about him and his father searching for the Fountain of Youth, so Indy does. Indy starts telling the store, and the scene turns to a flashback. It is now 1934 in Princeton, New Jersey. Indiana has been teaching at Princeton University for exactly 1 year. Indiana works as a historian teacher along with his colleagues Harold Oxley and Marcus Brody. The story continues with the three men flying to Kent, England. Oxley's studies show that the Fountain of Youth did reveal where it was located, like Juan Ponce de León said it did. But the St. Augustine it was talking about was not in Florida, it wasn't even a place. The prophecy speaks of St. Augustine's Constituency, which was a UK Parliament Constituency in the 1800's that took place because of a election. The prophecy told the future, the Constituency took place in Kent. The ancestor of Juan Ponce de León, Santa Ponce de León, finds out about the discovery and goes to Kent with a team of rebels to take the Fountain of Youth and to complete the Ponce de León quest for youth. A Brazilian philosopher, Barmay Quinn, helps the three men hide the Fountain of Youth from Ponce de León. But Quinn and her young boy sidekick, Short Round, turn on the three men and leave Kent with buckets filled with water from the Fountain of Youth. Short Round with feelings of guilt, turns on Quinn and goes back and helps Indiana and his friends. Indiana and Santa Ponce de León have a sword off, where Indiana kills Santa and has a friend from the American Museum of Natural History, F. Trubee Davison, take the Fountain to the museum. Indiana, Oxley, Marcus, and Short Round leave kent, and Short Round and Indiana begin their adventures from there.
