China is a 1943 film directed by John Farrow and starring Loretta Young, Alan Ladd and William Bendix. Ladd's character David Llewellyn Jones, wearing a fedora, a leather jacket, khakis and a beard stubble, was an inspiration for Indiana Jones. Aside from Tala Birell as one of Jones' paramours at the beginning of the film, the entire supporting cast is Asian, including Philip Ahn and Richard Loo.

PLOT : In 1941 China, amidst civil war and Japanese occupation, Captain Tao-Yuan-Kai seeks to execute American David Jones for selling oil to the Japanese. When Japanese aircraft bomb their town, Jones and his partner Johnny Sparrow flee to Shanghai with a baby they’ve found.After nightfall, they are stopped by refugees, but American schoolteacher Carolyn Grant intervenes. She sneaks her students into the truck, and with her local knowledge, takes over driving. Jones reluctantly keeps them on board when he learns they are Carolyn's students.The next day, they meet Carolyn's guerrilla-connected brothers, Lin Cho and Lin Yun, who warn them of an approaching Japanese force. They detour to Tan Ying's farm for milk, where Carolyn pleads with Jones to take the students to Chungtu instead of Shanghai. After leaving the baby at the farm, they abandon their truck due to Japanese air attacks, but Lin Cho's guerrillas shoot down the plane.Carolyn insists on returning for Tan Ying, only to find her farm burned and her family killed. Jones kills the Japanese soldiers attacking Tan Ying, who dies shortly after. Moved by the struggle, Jones decides to join the fight. He and the brothers raid a Japanese camp to steal dynamite needed to close a mountain pass and prevent further Japanese advances.During the raid, Lin Wei and most of the guerrillas are killed, but Jones and the remaining fighters manage to secure the dynamite. Carolyn, in love with Jones, rejects Johnny's proposal. The next day, Jones distracts the Japanese convoy, allowing the dynamite to be detonated and bury the Japanese troops in an avalanche. Jones is killed, and Carolyn and Johnny take the students to safety in Chungtu.
