Zgodba se dogaja okoli leta 1935. Ameriška vlada Jonesa obvesti, da so nacisti odkrili nahajališče skrinje zaveze, v kateri naj bi bilo zapečatenih deset božjih zapovedi. Indyjeva naloga je, da zgodovinski artefakt, ki naj bi imel čudežno moč, najde pred Nemci. Misija ga popelje na nevarno pot, polno razburljivih dogodivščin, na kateri ga spremlja nekdanja ljubezen Marion.
V osrčju čudovite in zgodovinske doline Dordogne (Francija) skupina študentov arheologije in njihov učitelj delata, da bi odkrili ruševine gradu 14. stoletja. Za profesorja Edwarda Johnstona projekt predstavlja vrhunec njegovih sanj. Johnston je s pomočjo docenta Andre Mareka, njegovega sina Chrisa in njegovih študentov Kate, Stern in François zelo napredoval ne le pri izkopu gradu La Roque, temveč tudi samostanu in drugih strukturah v bližnji vasi Castlegard. Toda stvari bodo kmalu narobe .... Profesor Johnston je sumljiv do dobrotnika izkopavanja - Mednarodne tehnološke korporacije, ki jo vodi Robert Doniger - in se v iskanju odgovorov odpravlja v Novo Mehiko.
