Monkey Man's Eye Patch

The eye patch covers one eye on the Monkey Man, a shabby beggar who grabs the stolen pet monkey on a Cairo street. It bolsters his ragged disguise during a hurried exchange and Nazi salute with two German agents inside a building. He wears it while ducking behind stalls to shadow Indiana Jones and Marion undetected.
