What King Solomon's Mines is
A 19th-century Indiana Jones prototype sets off with a Victorian femme fatale to find a missing daddy. Along the way they dodge crocodiles, spear-wielding tribes, and a monocled mercenary who mistakes charm for competence. Mercifully no one mistakes the plot for literature.
