This Butler was a servant at Castle Brunwald in 1938. He was surprised when a strange man turned up unannounced one stormy night, claming to be "Lord Clarence MacDonald and his lovely assistant," and refused to allow them to view the tapestries because they were not expected. The butler told "MacDonald" if you was a Scottish lord, then he (the butler) was Mickey Mouse. This earned him a good punch to the face which knocked him unconscious.

[edit] Behind the scenes

  • The butler was played by Vernon Dobtcheff.
  • The butler's original line before Jones knocks him out was, "If you are a Scottish lord, then I am Jesse Owens!" This was changed to Mickey Mouse for the film. The Jesse Owens reference remains in Rob MacGregor's novelization (where Indy claims to be an English lord, not a Scottish one).
  • Him being stuffed into a sarcophagus was cut from the film. In MacGregor's book he is put in a closet instead which is where the guards find him.
  • In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure it is possible to alternatively pass the butler simply by talking. This will give the player more IQ points
