Thank you.

So love the job, laddie. Night watchman in an aquarium.

Why would any crook want to steal a fish?

The pearl, it's gone.

The biggest pearl in captivity.

The only one of its kind in the world.

It's been stolen.

Call the director.

We've been robbed. There's a thief in the house, sir.

Sir, the shell is empty. The pearl's been stolen.

Oh, dear, oh, dear. What a catastrophe.

What is this, Alphonse? The old shell game?

Now you see it, now you don't?

Or have you been hitting the bottle again, Alphonse?

I swear it was gone.

You think it went for a walk, perhaps?

But I tell you, it's true.

Now, hold on.

Come to think of it...

The same thing happened at another museum two weeks ago. I told you so. The

pearl disappeared and then was put back.

Oh, we're dealing with a very slippery customer, a real shark.

Lodz, and Schnickberg.

Passengers with connecting flights will please check with the airline counter in

the main hall.

These golf clubs get it. You must have heard of golf. You know, hole -in -one,

it's a game. Links, golf ball, mashy -nip -lick.

Doesn't anyone here speak English?

My handicap is two. We love golfers here.

Welcome to Sildavia.

I'll bet they play with square golf balls.

He was only doing his job. They check all incoming bags for dangerous weapons.

Dangerous? Since when is golf dangerous?

Golf never hurt anybody.

Thundering typhoons.

Man overboard.

The Thompson.

Those lamb lovers.

You're not headed for Professor Calculus' house on Lake Flushy's off by

Are you on vacation too?

No, on vacation we are not.

It's a secret.

We're on a confidential mission.

Mum is the word.

Yes, dumb's the word, and even that is a sea... Shh!

Call for passengers Tintin, Snowy, and Harrop.

Your special charter air taxi is waiting on the runway.

Please check in at desk 22.

Come on, we'll give you a lift in our taxi.

Mr. Tintin? Yes?

Your aircraft is ready.

It's one of our new high -speed models.

Madame Castelfiore uses it regularly.

Captain Haddock, come on. We've a long flight ahead of us.

Set up, Riffringer.

You say you have a friend living on Lake Flashisoff?

That is very odd.

It certainly is wild -looking country.

Gives me the willies looking at it by blister and barnacles.

Any duck -billed people -hater who'd build a place out here is up to no good.

don't care if he is playing host to our old pal Professor Calculus.

Look, there's the artificial lake.

They say they had to move a whole village out of the valley before they

it.

It's not exactly the spotted of the home.

It's no place to live, not even to visit. There's a curse on the lake.

What's wrong?

Motor failure.

We'll have to jump.

Fail out. Hit the silk.

Hey, how about us?

Hit the silk, he says. He's got the only parachute.

Thanks a lot.

What'll we do?

We forgot to pack a parachute.

Hey, come back here, you.

Fasten seatbelts.

Niko, look there.

We've got to do something.

Oh, zounds.

Pickups. We'll have to scare ourselves. Look out, it's the police.

Thanks, Captain.

Yes, thank you.

Oh, there she goes.

We're sunk now.

After you, sir.

No, after you. I wouldn't think... Oh, no, would I?

I think that I... Yes, sir!

You saved our lives.

My name is Tintin.

That's Captain Haddock.

And that's Noe.

My name is Nico. And this is my sister Nushka. And that's Gustav. He's a great

dog.

This is Thompson.

Yes, and that is Thompson.

Delighted. Deluded.

Delighted. Without you, we'd never have lived to see our friend Professor

Calculus. He lives down there by the lake in the Villa Sprock.

The Villa Sprock?

Beware of that place.

The lake has a curse on it.

Vulture calling. Come in Neptune.

Operation sardine can.

Fail.

Party now headed for rendezvous. Objective two.

In this land of milk and honey Where sugar candy

grows on trees

Madam Fleck. It's very odd.

Yes, it's very odd.

Hello, Professor.

We're here.

Did I hear some whispering out there?

Welcome, good travellers.

My dear Frank, it's good. It's a promise then. We'll see you tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Farewell.

Nothing to get excited about. I'm not excited.

Only a simple little experiment of mine.

This bar is a mechanically induced three -dimensional illusion.

How did you do that?

Watch closely.

It's just a slide, Captain. An optical illusion. The gorilla doesn't really

exist. That's right.

The gorilla doesn't really exist.

Not yet, anyway.

Me too.

Hooray.

But why create these optical illusions, Professor?

It's in the interest of science, Stinton, in the domain of pure research.

Suffering catfish, you don't think I was fooled.

I'll take that bottle, for example. Anyone can see it's not there.

Well, my real intention is to perfect a new system of photocopying in three

dimensions. But you must keep this a secret.

The machine could fall into the wrong hands.

Into the hands of forgers. Heaven forbid.

This does not break me while I have protection against these gentlemen.

Are those two what you call protection?

What a laugh.

Who are these forgeries you mentioned? All over the world today, works of art

are being stolen wholesale and the genuine work replaced by forgeries.

Yes, what they do is replace the original with a replacement.

At first, these were no more than crude copies badly done. But in the past six

months, it has required experts to tell the real from the fake.

Or the fake from the real. And vice versa.

And conversely. That is versa versa.

That's right.

The situation is disastrous.

We are being flooded by worthless copies. I wouldn't go so far as to say

are being flooded by a flood of fake fakes.

Anyway, Professor, let's not let it spoil the vacation.

Here to you.

Well, after all, there's no point in needless worry.

Let's go to sleep and forget it, Snowy. Good night.

I don't know how I feel.

Are you ever nervous, Snowy? Those were bird calls.

Great shark.

Agent Ramsey calling great shock.

All in a safe and sound, insightful effort.

I have been informed, Agent Ramsey.

Initiate Operation Crab tomorrow.

Proceed according to plan.

Ah, smell that fresh air.

Breathe it in, Snowy.

I brought you some goat cheese for your breakfast, just like we promised.

You'll love it. It sure smells good.

I'll be right down.

You didn't happen to see my notes lying around, did you, Captain?

I'm sure I left them here last night.

Your notes?

No. It's amazing how absent -minded I'm becoming lately.

Speaking of notes, Professor, it sounds like one of those modern symphonies in

here.

Can't hear yourself think.

What's that?

Can't hear yourself think in here.

Of course you can't hear a stink.

I have a surprise for you.

You are just about to witness a scientific miracle.

It's Einsteinian.

Newtonian. But first I'll make my chocolate.

I'm forever blowing bubbles.

Now let it simmer a little.

We'll just add two tiny grams of hyposulfur benzene.

I mean, a mix of potassium.

A pinch is all. That does it.

Oh dear, oh dear, my goodness, I almost forgot the sugar.

There.

Now you'll observe the reactions which will be induced by the action of the

reacting compounds, which are actively interacting secondarily with the primary

elements. Now keep your eye on the blue solution.

Here we go.

Good heavens, the chocolate exploded again. I wonder what I did wrong.

Well, it doesn't matter, really.

Let's get on with the experiment.

I'd say it looks like salt.

I should say that's help.

This product permits one to create perfect three -dimensional copies of any

material object.

It's dynamite.

I don't have to tell you what this means.

Imagine what a crook would give to lay hands upon such a product.

It sure is deserted.

Yes, it is. Nobody ever comes around here.

Keep your eye on the ball if you can.

Three.

I don't believe your eyes.

I don't believe them. Already.

Time.

One second.

Suffering silky catfishes. You took the words right out of my mouth. And the

ball.

Blistering barnacles.

Let's change sports.

Ah, Snowy, I'm with you.

What do you think that landlubber was up to?

Landlubber, you say?

I would say he was a sea robber.

Covered with rubber.

Yes, a rubber -covered robber. A rubber -covered... A frogman.

Even if the lake does have a curse on it, it sure is pretty.

Don't be deceived, Tintin. You can never be sure of anything here. Nico!

It's Nooska!

Hurry! This way!

I've got you! Don't worry!

We're not giving away! Jump! Quick!

Whoa! You weren't kidding, Nico. This place is unsafe.

Airborne publicity here, in the middle of nowhere?

There's something funny going on.

The camera angle is perfect, pilot.

You have hit the nail on the head. Good work.

His name is Tintin.

He is the most dangerous one of all.

So, initiate Operation Crab.

Employ special new laughing gas.

A piece of a swim fin retrieved by Snowy.

They swipe the professor's notes.

I'm beginning to see things clearer.

Thompson and Thompson, you keep an eye out here. You, Captain, take good staff

with you. We'll use this to pick up the scent.

With luck, the dogs may lead us to our slippery frogman.

Go to it, Snowy.

Smell him out.

Dog gone. Look at that dog go.

He never tires.

Say, these are truck tracks. Now, that's odd.

A truck here?

Snowy, this is no time to dig up old bones.

Hey, what could that be?

Shucks, might as well save my breath.

There's got to be another way out of here.

My gosh, it's Ali Baba's cave.

And they're all Machu Picchu.

They must be worth millions.

I'm beginning to see the light.

That's what the Thompsons meant. All these works of art were stolen from

different museums.

I've got to get to the police.

But first, I've got to get out of here.

That's one way out, but it's out for me.

Hey, that glow!

It's coming through a tunnel that must lead out to the lake.

I have to try it.

Thank you, Snowy.

Now back to the house, quick.

What a strange machine, Professor.

I'll explain.

I place my product there.

And then... No!

I place the object to be reproduced here.

Then I simply press the switch.

And... Presto!

The product is immediately transformed into an exact copy of the model.

It's a miracle!

Hmm, it's like having a new hat.

Congratulations, Professor.

Indeed, one might even say, Professor...

Oh, my, too bad.

I have not yet succeeded, though I do get good copies, but with limited

stability so far.

But I'll work that out in a day or two.

They've attacked the house.

Let's go get them, Snowy.

Here are filibusters.

Get the blizzards.

Go, Snowy.

It's too late, Captain.

Greetings, my dear Tintin.

Thunder and typhoons.

Nothing will happen to your young friends if you follow my orders to the

I know that the professor is close to perfecting his new invention.

I want that machine, Tintin.

And you are going to bring it to me at noon, two days from today, on the South

Beach. You will come alone in an arm. Above all, not a word to the police for

the sake of your young friends.

The pirate.

That voice.

I know it. Where from?

Those two poor kids.

We'll have to play it close. We'll get them back by thunderation.

We're up against a big gang.

One thing is sure, they're watching us. This place must be bugged everywhere.

Well, let's find the mics.

Nothing down here.

Well, look up there.

I can smell them.

In there.

I see lots of butterflies.

And I kick the bucket.

The clock?

You think so, Snowy?

Look here, Captain.

Blistering barnacles.

That has to be the way those landlubbers got in. You take this along.

You wait here.

I'll take a look around.

Right. Only don't take chances.

It's about time to get in contact with Agent Ramsey.

Where's she going now?

I'll be doggone.

I'll walkie -talkie.

This is the well where Madam Blake pretends to come for water.

Madam Blake sure goes for a lot of water.

We're not as dumb as you thought we were, are we, Madame Fleck?

Agent Ramsey's just blew her cover, sir.

About faith, Madame Fleck.

Back to the house.

No funny business.

That's using your head.

Madame Fleck, a spy?

Oh, I can't believe my ears.

She's not up to Madame Harry's standards by thunderation.

You had us all fooled for a while, dearie.

There are ways to get her to talk if you'll let me try.

Okay? There's no need, Captain.

Madame Vleck wouldn't know Mr. Pig's identity in any case. She's small fry.

As I see it, there's only one way.

Come closer, my darling little children.

Don't be afraid, my little chickadees.

Come closer.

You just better keep your hands off my sister or elf.

Nico, pizza.

The kid sounds like Tintin himself.

Okay, lock him up.

The beast.

Nobody's ever going to find us again.

Please don't cry anymore, Nushka.

Tintin won't let us down, you know that.

I wouldn't be too sure, kid.

Great shark calling.

Double the guard.

Cut off all communication with the house.

And don't let anybody leave the place.

Don't take chances, my boy.

I'll be careful, Captain.

But I must notify the police.

Report that they're pacing up and down. They're worried.

Good boy, Snowy.

Anybody home?

Lalita, they're prowlers. Call the police, quick.

Anybody home?

No, nobody's home. Go away.

Open the door.

I won't hurt you. I just want to use your telephone.

Who are you kidding?

I am not opening up.

Except to look.

Also to shoot. Like this.

Lollipop, you miss.

I think I'd better call the police.

That's a good idea.

Hello.

Operator, can you hear, yeah?

Police in hurry.

Hello.

Hello, can you hear?

No?

cut all the telephone lines. Let's go, Snowy.

Quiet, senora, cazapiori.

I must be dreaming. It's Tintin. What are you doing wandering around in the

all by yourself?

Signora Catefiore, can you do me a great favor? I have to get to a police

station at once.

Take the wheel. It's yours, my dear. In any case, Walter goes too slow for me.

He can't even make the car go.

be right back.

Oh, my gosh. It's the pilot who tried to kill

us.

I have to get by.

I think I have an idea.

Um, I'll be needing your help.

That's him. I recognize the mutt.

Wait,

wait.

Don't, huh? Curses. Foiled again.

Help! Murder! Help! They're killing him!

Policemen! Policemen! Help!

Don't let them escape! Get the murderers! Hurry!

This is Walter, my company said he's superb.

I've been escorted by those ruffians. You have a passport.

Who are you?

Who am I, young man?

Who am I?

powerful friends. What do you think, Captain?

Everything you've told us confirms that all trails seem to lead right into the

lake. But we're here in Sildavia, and more than half the lake is in Bredoria.

This brings up a delicate diplomatic problem.

I understand.

It makes things difficult for you. In that case, Captain, all I ask is your

support and a free hand.

The thing is that my friend, Professor Calculus, has perfected a new pocket

submarine.

We used it in our search for the treasure of an old 17th century pirate,

named Brackham the Red.

Hello?

What? A truck headed for the house?

Oh, yes, let it pass. After all, all calculus is only working for us.

He's been gone two whole days.

Two whole days.

And no news at all.

But no news is good news, isn't it?

I didn't order anything to be delivered.

Ah, I got news for you.

Galloping guppies. It's ten -ten.

Right. And I've brought a surprise.

The professor's submarine.

I've got to go and meet the crooks on the beach, Captain.

You're going to follow me in the sub without being seen.

Gotcha. You can always count on the Navy.

Anchors away.

Captain, it's time for the meeting with the crooks. Wait, the lobsters. You're

putting your head in the sea lion's mouth.

No choice, Captain.

I've got to get those kids back. All ready, Professor?

No, no, no, no.

In just a minute.

Be careful, Lieutenant. This model is very special.

No, Snowy.

This time I'm afraid I've got to go alone.

You stay and look after the captain.

They should be here soon.

I wonder where they'll come from.

No police boats in sight.

And no helicopters.

He's alone.

Okay.

Perfect.

A submarine.

I might have known.

It's up to Great Shark.

Tin -Tan is on time. We'll pick him up at once.

Over.

I'll be back as soon as we get a fix on their base.

Wait for me here, you hear?

I am sick of being showered with orders.

If you ask me, the captain is all wet.

And so are we.

We're going in.

Get ready for a big surprise, Mr. Tintin.

Nice setup.

From the looks of it, I'd say business is good.

Not the populace.

You again.

Me again.

And more alive than ever, my dear chap.

How do you like my modest little domain, eh?

Hidden from the world and the police.

So you are the reproduction machine.

Splendid. I owe you a great deal, my dear Tintin. You have the machine. I

those children.

Go and get the kids around.

They are nice brats, I will have to admit.

We'll soon find out. Ow!

You little devil! Stop!

is broken. Close the waterproof door.

With the amphibian, the glass broke.

It's unbreakable, you say?

They didn't know, I guess.

Imbeciles! You made the mess and I have to straighten it out?

Of course they're flooded.

So our little friends have escaped, you think?

Well, they won't get far.

We are going to have a little sport. Very deadly sport.

What's

happening

now?

I'm scared, Nico.

How amusing, eh, Tintin? I play piano good, don't I?

You like?

Now down to business.

Return home.

Thundering codfish, it's one way.

What a lame brain.

I think I'm too law -abiding, Snowy.

Submarine, where did he come from?

A close -up.

Why, it's your old friend, the Captain. Did you think I was so stupid?

Nico, look!

A tank.

I must be dreaming.

Hey, I've got the right of way, you Sunday driver.

Captain! Captain!

Hey, you!

You! Blunder and Barracuda. It's the two we're looking for.

Like watching television, eh?

Program will be ending soon.

No, you're not going to use that. I wouldn't dream of it all day.

the ones that are shooting rockets at the captain.

They've got to make it stop firing somehow.

Let

me

go, bunch of pirates!

Blister and Barnacles, they hit the rudder.

Doesn't work.

Hope. Anyway, the captain is out of commission.

The captain and Snowy, you monster.

The game's over and you lose.

Back to base.

While we wait for our young friends to return, let me show you my little art

collection. Every one a genuine masterpiece.

Needless to say.

From which the professor's machine we create?

Masterpieces just as genuine.

Masterpieces from masterpieces.

Your greed will destroy you, Rafter Poplar. Think so?

The only one to be destroyed will be you.

We got the Bratz again as you ordered, sir. I know.

I ordered it. So now I try out this miraculous device.

Yes. I reproduce first something simple.

A victory.

It is perfect.

The imitation seems to me to be growing, sir.

Oh, don't be silly.

Growing? No.

It's... It's...

He wants to see you two.

I've been cheated.

That Rastapopulos knows how to treat those who cheat him.

Nico! Ouch!

Cincy, are you here too?

Of course he's here.

He's here and he will stay here.

Boss! Boss!

The police!

What? The police?

On the surface, sir. Police force.

Oh, by Lucifer, you're going to pay for this.

Oh, yeah? I think you're the one who's going to pay.

Rastapopulus never pays.

I'm not done yet. I'll make my escape through my escape hatch.

Well, to the loop. You have one hour left. When the water level reaches this

device, it will be... I'm sorry, I can't stay to watch.

Wait, you promised to free the children. So I did, but in return for the real

machine only.

You tried to pull a fast one, my friend.

You weren't smart enough.

You have one hour.

Enjoy yourself.

Now, get it straight.

Work in teams of two. Transfer all the masterpieces to the cave. Got it?

Good.

Creep and cartfish.

The fellow who wrote this manual couldn't read.

Let's see.

Breakdowns. Repairs.

Propellers.

This thing's no help.

I fixed it.

Suffering Shadrow.

We picked us up a couple of stowaways. There's no doubt in my mind. The key to

the case is in this lake.

I agree even further, Thompson. If the key is in the lake with the case, then

we'd better get to the bottom of it.

If there's anything I hate, it's freeloaders, Snowy.

Ah, the police.

About time by thunderation.

What's going on, Haddock?

What do you mean, what's going on?

We found the gang's hideaway.

My poor Thompson.

You're putting on too much weight.

You're a little fat yourself.

My poor Thompson, I think it's your kidneys.

You're holding water.

Tintin's in that sunken village.

We'll need some divers.

I tell you, he's down there with the kids.

Ready, boss.

The base has been evacuated.

Very well. The time has come to go.

Once more.

There's only one thing to do. Tear the pipe.

Papalus was joking.

Don't be scared.

Lushka, give me a hairpin.

the life jackets. Quick.

Fill your lungs as full as you can.

I'll open the hatch.

Only a few seconds to go and Mr.

Tintin will be gone forever and good riddance.

He went too far.

It's 10 -10. All about quick.

Everybody over, boys.

We're here.

Get the children on board.

I got you, Tim -Tim.

Oh, fast.

kids. We're okay, Tintin. Are you all right?

How wonder sailors hate the water. Captain Haddock's ready to go in the dry

dock. By the great horn spoon.

What a wave.

What about Rastapopulus and his gang?

Rastapopulus. So that's who it is, eh?

He's going to pay, I assure you. Maybe he's still at large, but his gang is

We're picking them off two by two, like fish in a barrel.

What if they forget to come for us? No need to worry, son.

The police are like elephants.

We never forget.

Message for you, Captain.

Submarine Rostopopolis.

Spotted. Off the coast of Ordoria.

We're stymied. I can take no official action.

What? You mean let that rattlesnake get away?

We sit here while that underwater sidewinder escapes us? I say no.

We can act. We're not Sildavian citizens.

Just give us a high -powered motorboat. It might work.

I'll do it.

Cast off the lines!

What a legend!

You may cast off.

Both we have.

until I got a funny feeling we're being followed.

Hey, look, it's the Thompson's. They're water ski freaks.

The Thompson's.

Water ski freaks. Oh, 10 ,000 thundering typhoons.

Intense star for mass.

Look. Oh, they can't swim.

The nuns called her brown.

Hey, I'm aboard.

Never mind us.

Full speed ahead.

Duty first.

You go ahead.

We'll manage, all right. Just duty first.

We'll manage.

The sunny shores of Borduria.

We are safe.

Steer clear of the border posts.

And head straight for Trident Rock. Full speed ahead, Commander.

But we'll never get over the reef. The rocks are too dangerous. Commander,

not going over the reef, but through it.

Ready?

Dive. You're the boss.

Slowly.

Dive angle 30 degrees.

But, Chief... Slowly.

Reduce speed.

Yeah, but Chief... Reduce speed.

Slower still.

Right.

Level off, Commander.

There is our passage.

But,

sir, are you sure we can get by with that clearance? We go through like

and pork, silly.

The divers are very far the diameter of the passage against the diameter of the

submarine. But with the periscope still up?

What? The periscope?

Went to the surface.

Oh, bastard.

Not a sign of it anywhere.

How could it have gotten through?

Stop. Look over there.

It's an oil slick.

It has to be them.

First he steals pictures, then he pollutes the lakes.

It's your fault, imbecile.

You forgot to remind me I shoot down periscope, yes?

But, Chief, you're always the one who says... Shut up.

You're out of a job, Commander. As of now, you're fired.

Boy, the pirates.

Hang them from the mizzenmast.

I'm sorry it had to end this way. So long, Chief.

The cruise is over, matey.

Curse. Thinking.

Anadok.

Don't trouble yourselves over me, gentlemen.

I'm just passing through.

You'll never get away with this, Rastapopulus.

Now we're coming up to the big moment, folks. Who will win?

The team from Borduria is playing a very hard game, and they're coming back

strong. Rinky Dink has the ball.

He passes to Bubka, who faints.

He kicks high.

Rinky Dink comes up with it again.

He shoots.

He scores.

Hooray! He scores. The crowd goes wild.

This time the victory was a clear -cut one, folks, and a great win it was.

Now the national anthem.

I say make sport, not war.

Hey!

Why, my great Aunt Blue Dildo, do my eyes speak to me?

Vincent Floss?

Listen, you know your crazy cousin, the one who buys up scrap metal?

I think I got a little deal for you.

So Davey owes you a great deal, Tin Tin. Thank you.

We're really very grateful.

And what's more, we appreciate it.

Bravo, young stranger!

Bravo! We're going to celebrate!

The whole village is throwing a party for you and all your friends.

How about that? News spreads fast in these parts, doesn't it?

Holy mackerel.

They're here from all over.

Calling foreigner.

I always was sure you were a good boy.

You can call on me any old time.

Oh, the blue sticker.

Come and dance the blue sticker.

What's the blue sticker?

The blue sticker?

You're going to have to show me how to dance it. Sure, come on, it's not

difficult. I'll show you how, Tintin.

There's a party going on. Well, let's be a party to the party.

Captain Shadrach, why are you hiding?

Shy boy, shall we dance?

Ah, my dear Captain Crawford, you dance divine.

Oh, to think it's the first time I've ever danced with you.

Why, Captain, you shrewd.
