This is the story of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

0:03.0

You can read along with me in your book.

You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear the bullwip crack like this.

0:15.0

Let's begin now.

0:16.0

... Hey, folks, welcome to a very special episode of the projection booth. I'm your host Mike White on this. We are continuing
