After their daring escape from Hangar 51, Indy, Yakko, Wakko, Melody, and Dot retreated to a Town in the middle of the Desert. The Soviets found it too and chased them there. 

Indy and the Warners Climbed over a fence, and work their way into the House. "Hello? Hello?" Indy called. No one answered. Yakko tried the water fixture. Nothing. "No Water! That's odd!"

"Hello!" Indy called again. No one replied. All they saw in the family room was a "Family" of mannequins watching TV. "Hey, we knocked. You guys got a..." Wakko said, before realizing this sudden revelation. "Okay, now I'm officially creeped out," Melody said.

"Wait a minute..." Indy said. "Let's head outside for a minute." So they did, and there, they found more mannequin dummies! And quite by accident, Indy knocked one over. Suddenly, they heard the Sirens wailing.

"That can't be good," Indy said. And it wasn't! "All personnel, it is now one minute to zero time," said an Automated Voice. "Put on goggles or turn away Do not remove foffles or face burst until 10 seconds after first light." 

"That can't be good at all," Melody said. "Something tells me... we just walked into a NUKE TESTING SESSION!" Yakko yelled. The Russians shouted and fled. "Wait! Wait!" Indy called, but it was too late! The Russians had already driven out of sight!

"Sure! Great! Don't wait for us, you Commie freaks!" Wakko yelled. "T-Minus 15 seconds." Came the Automated voice again. Indy and the Warners ran back inside with seemingly no options left. 

They looked through the house for any solution when there seemed to be none. 10 seconds. "What are we gonna do, what are we gonna do, what are we gonna do?!" Dot squealed. 

Nine seconds. Eight Seconds. Indy kept looking as Wakko frantically looked through his Gag bag for anything that he, Melody, and his siblings could get into. 

Seven seconds. Six Seconds.  Indy opens the fridge, and the interior was lined with lead, and he frantically began to clear it out as Wakko found a conveniently located Safe. 

Five seconds, Four seconds. Indy cleared out the fridge and stepped into it. Wakko quickly opened the safe. "Go! Go! Go! Go!" He yelled, and each Warner got in there.

Three seconds. Two seconds. Indy and Wakko shut the doors to both Fridge and Safe Respectively. One second. Indy kicks an orange out of the way and closes the door of the fridge... Just in the nick of time! 

A bright flash of light and all the mannequins are set alight and burned to ash, and the resulting shockwave, as a result of the nuclear warhead hitting the ground, decimates every building, car, and other things. 

The Soviets met the same fate, being absorbed by this ash cloud of the shockwave. The fridge and safe bounced off the ground, with Indy and the Warners in them. They tumbled down a hill and finally came to a sliding, grinding halt at the bottom. 

Indy opened the fridge, Wakko opened the safe, and everyone stepped out, and dusted themselves off, just in time to see that infamous Mushroom Cloud from the Nuclear Explosion from the test that just took place 10 seconds ago.

"Saved by the Fridge... and the safe," Yakko said to himself. "That's definitely something you don't see every day."

At a US Air Force Base near the testing site Indy, Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and Melody were undressed, and thoroughly cleaned off due to their exposure to radiation, but miraculously, no one was harmed by it. 

After they were scrubbed down good and clean, they were visited by two Intelligence agents who wanted to know about that one Holdup at Hangar 51, and Mac's betrayal. 

 "I had no reason to believe Mac was a spy," Indy began. "He was MI6 when I was in OSS. We did 20, 30 missions together in Europe and the Pacific.

"Don't wave your war record in our face, Col. Jones," said an Agent.  "We all served." "Oh yeah? What side are you on?" Yakko asked. 

"I don't think you recognize the gravity of your situation," said another agent. "You five aided and abetted KGB agents who broke into a top-secret military installation in the middle of the United States of America, My Country.

"What was in the steel box they took?" Indy asked. "You tell us," the agent replied. "You've seen it before." 

"Oh... you mean that Air Force fiasco in '47," Indy replied. "I was tossed into a bus with blacked-out windows and 20 people I wasn't allowed to speak to. Hauled off to some urgent recovery mission and showed what? Pieces of wreckage and an intensely magnetic shroud covering mutilated remains? None of us was given the whole picture, and we were threatened with treason if we ever talked about it."

"So you tell us, What was in the box?" Wakko asked. "Indy. Thank goodness." Said a man. He was the General. "Don't you know it's dangerous to climb into a refrigerator? Those things are deathtraps!" 

"Good to see you too, Bob," Indy said. "Relax boys," chuckled Bob. "I can vouch for Dr. Jones and his friends." "What in the world is even going on here?!" Yakko asked. "I mean, KGB comes onto American Soil. Who is that woman?" 

"Describe her," Bob replied. "Tall, thin, mid-30s carried a sword of some kind, a rapier, I think," Indy explained.  

The agents got the File on Colonel Dr. Irina Spalko. "Yeah, that's her." "You sure she's here?" Bob asked. "Here and gone," Wakko said. "But who was she?"

"Irina Spalko," Bob explained. "...she was Stalin's fair-haired girl. His favorite scientist, if you can call psychic research 'science'." "General Ross..." An agent said, but the General cut him off.

"She's leading teams from the Kremlin all over the world, scooping up artifacts she thinks might have paranormal military applications," Bob continued. "General Ross!" 

"Back off, Paul," said Bob firmly. "Not everyone in the Army's a Commie and certainly not Indy or his friends the Warners." "What exactly are we being accused of, besides surviving a nuclear blast?" Indy asked. 

"Nothing yet," replied Paul, but all your dealings (Indy mostly) with George Michale makes all your activities suspicious, including those during the war."  

"Are you nuts?" General Bob asked. "Do you have any idea how many medals this son of a gun won?" "A great many, I'm sure," replied Paul, "but does he deserve them?" 

Indy looked up at the two FBI agents. "Dr. Jones, let's just say for now that you and your friends are of interest to the Bureau." "Of great interest," said the other. 

Wakko's POV

"Of great interest", huh? Well, I'm sure we'll find a way to prove our innocence, as we always have. Anyways, we're returning to the College Campus at Marshall College. Everything has changed there since we last saw Indy work there of course, and that was when we were Chasing Klara on the Western Front of WW2.
