Tangier, 1969: Helena's black-market auction of the Dial and a tuk-tuk chase.

In 1969 Sallah helps Jones flee the United States after guessing that Helena will sell the Dial in Tangier; there Jones disrupts her illegal private auction, but Voller and his henchmen arrive and steal the artifact, and Jones, Helena and her young Moroccan sidekick Teddy Kumar chase them through the streets in a tuk-tuk.

Lore & Background
The Tangier chase needed a dozen tuk-tuks and was shot in Fez by a second unit, the actors filming their parts later at Pinewood against a blue screen; the Morocco segment was first planned for Jaisalmer and Jaipur in India. In The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, a newly shot "Tangiers, 1908" was joined with "Egypt, 1908" to form the film My First Adventure.
