Are you telling you, Professor?

We're in Jakarta, the last stop before Sydney.

Then why didn't you say we'd arrived?

It's not Sydney yet.

It's Jakarta.

Yes, I know, but I thought at first it was Jakarta.

We've got an hour to kill. Let's go get something to eat.

I wonder how long it's been since that poor old chap has had a square meal.

Poor old soul.

There you go.

Thank you.

Well, that's my good deed for the day.

I'm such a nice guy.

Captain Haddock?

Scoot!

Scoot!

Hello, my old friend Tintin.

What are you up to?

I pilot my boss to Sydney for the Astronautical Congress.

That's where we're going.

Whoever owns this much should muzzle him. Scoot, I've been looking for you

everywhere. The flight plans have come in.

Nice guy.

He is the new navigator.

I do not like him very much.

The regular navigator took ill very suddenly yesterday.

I am hoping he gets better soon.

So who are you guys working for?

The millionaire, Laszlo Karedas.

The man who never laughs.

What's the chance of me getting an interview with him?

Pretty good.

Here he comes now.

Hmm. He must be all right. He's taken that poor guy under his wing.

Mr. Karedas, these are my friends who also go to Congress in Sydney.

How do you do, Mr. Karedis?

Uh, Captain, you are meeting Mr.

Spaulding. This is Mr.

Karedis. But, but... Sorry, I... I don't shake hands. Very

unsanitary.

Excuse me.

Don't touch me!

Presto!

All right, sir.

I'm laughing.

Did you notice, Spalding?

Yes, sir.

It hasn't happened for years.

That little guy is funny.

Yes, sir.

So, you're all going to Sydney, are you?

Yes, we're just waiting for our plane.

No need to wait any longer. You're coming with me.

Spalding? Cancel their tickets and have their luggage transferred to my hangar.

But, Mr.

Karedis... Move it, Spalding!

Go, go, go!

It's very kind of you, Mr. Karedis, but I'm afraid we can't accept your offer.

Rubbish!

Snowy's such a fidgety traveler, and... Snowy?

Snowy? He must have followed Mr. Spalding. I'd better go find him.

Oh, Captain, perhaps we can have a game of battleships during the flight.

Fight? Is there a fight?

No, no, I... I was very good at savate in my youth.

Savate? No, no, I said savate, French boxing.

Perhaps I'm a little out of practice.

He's priceless!

Snowy!

Snowy! Sir, we've run into unexpected trouble. We'd better call off the

Idiot, it's too late.

We go as planned.

Snowy, there you are. Bad boy, Snowy.

You know you're not supposed to go... Oh, it's you. I was just, uh...

talking to my cousin in Jakarta.

Excuse me, I have to cancel your ticket.

Cousin in Jakarta?

Why don't I believe that?

Your late, Spalding. There was quite a lineup at the counter, sir.

I'm not interested, Spalding. Yes, sir.

What do you think of my latest toy?

It's magnificent.

And fast.

Signora Karedis, a call from New York.

Yeah? Oh, it's you, Goldberg.

Gino, these people are traveling with us. Take them aboard and make them

comfortable. This way, please.

So, what have you got for me?

Three Picassos?

A Renoir?

Buy them all.

Hans, my friends are coming with us as guests of Mr. Carreras.

Welcome aboard, everyone.

More new crew?

Old operator had accident yesterday.

Gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts for takeoff.

Golf Tango Fox, you are clear for takeoff.

Calling XB -42.

The bird is heading for the cage.

C -4, D -4.

E4. You've sunk one of my subs, Captain. Not bad for an old sea dog.

My turn.

I'll have A4, B4, and C4.

Good shot, Mr. Caritas. A destroyer sunk by three direct hits.

G1, G2, and G3.

Another hit.

Now what's he up to?

Somehow I don't trust him.

Scoot, Mr. Caradus wants an update.

Take over Columbani.

Right.

Blistering barnacles. You just sank my last destroyer.

What luck.

Not luck, Captain.

Skill.

What are you doing, Scoot? Why aren't you flying the plane?

But Mr.

Spalding said you wanted to see me.

Spalding, you half -wit. Hands up, all of you.

Spalding, have you gone mad?

To the rear of the plane and move it.

That's it, young man. Get his gun. Nice try.

Now get with the others.

Good work, Spalding.

Get in there, all of you.

Spalding, you're fired.

That's no great loss.

I didn't like working for an old cheat anyway.

Cheat? He actually uses closed circuit television to win a silly

game of battleships. Cheating, huh?

Oh, relax, Captain.

We're going down.

They fly low to escape radar.

Isn't this dangerous?

You can't see a thing.

Relax.

Crazy. Golf Tango Fox, Golf Tango Fox, this is Macassar Radio Control calling.

We have lost radar contact.

Please report your position.

Oh, now we're in the clear.

We are nearly at the island.

Okay, we take it up to a thousand feet, then empty the tank. We're climbing

again. I think they prepared to land. There is an island.

But this is crazy.

Runway is much too short.

Everyone, sit against forward section, hands behind head.

Isn't Joe?

It's okay, Snowy. Shut him up!

I'm trying, but he's frightened.

Snowy!

Shoot him!

No!

Idiots! Find that dog and shoot it! Cowards!

Murderers!

Rastapopolis! In person, dear boy.

Welcome to my island paradise.

and you thought I was out of the picture forever.

Well, sorry to disappoint you. I'm fed up with your constant meddling in my

business. This time I will crush you like... like... like... this spider!

Diavolo! At least you won't leave this island alive.

Get everything ready, Alan. Okay, boss.

Why have you brought us here?

But I didn't.

You should have stayed on Flight 714.

No, all I want is Mr.

Kareda's money.

You're mad!

No, just well -informed. You see, I know all about your $10 million in your

secret Swiss bank account. I know the name of the bank, the false name you

it under, and I have magnificent examples of your signature.

All I need now is the account number which you will kindly give me.

Never!

Never say never, my dear Mr.

Karedis. Wouldn't you agree, Dr.

Krollspell?

You see, the doctor has invented a serum that makes people tell the truth,

whether they want to or not.

Achoo! Ah!

Take them away!

My hat!

You scoundrels! I need my hat!

Give the cheat his hat before he gets sunstroke.

He won't get sunstroke where he's going.

You hold it for him.

Ten thousand tramps, terrapins, troglodytes, savages,

Aztecs, rats!

Left, Captain.

Now to the right.

A little to the left.

No! Captain, left!

Left!

Ten thousand thundering typhoons!

When I get my hands on you, Alan, I'll stuff your hat down your throat!

Hey!

Welcome to the parlor, gentlemen. What's going to happen to us? After Caritas

talks, you'll go back to the plane, be towed out to sea and sunk.

So enjoy what little time you have left, gentlemen.

Bandit! Bootlegger!

Bashy Bazook!

Here, let me get that hat off.

My precious hat!

Disgraceful! It's disgraceful!

It suits you!

Shh! Listen!

What is it?

Disgraceful.

Nothing. I guess I thought I heard Snowy barking.

I don't know, Tintin.

I think maybe, uh, Snowy's, uh...

Don't

touch me!

You won't get one word out of me! Not one word!

He'll talk now, Mr.

Raptopopulus. I hope so for your sake, Doctor. Now, Mr. Kratos, the number of

your Swiss bank account, please.

Assassins at 12 -9 -1933.

Yes, that's it.

It worked.

Yes, the 12th of September, 1933.

Huh? Yes.

That was the day I stole for the first time.

I was four years old. I stole a pear from a fruit stand.

What's this rubbish?

He's showing resistance, boss. I'll give him another shot.

Now, the account number. Two, ten, thirty -five.

You're sure?

Oh, yes, absolutely.

Finally. Yep.

From my eldest sister's handbag.

$210 .35.

Oh, she never suspected me for one moment.

Crowell Spell, I...

Congratulations, Crowell Spell.

Your serum is a brilliant success.

I heard something.

Yes, it sounds like... Snowy, you're alive!

Quick, Snowy, chew through the ropes.

Good boy!

Three cheers for Snowy!

Hip, hip, hurray!

Wait here, Chloe.

What's all the noise?

Silly. I don't care what they say. It's a silly joke.

I said what's going on. I want to know now.

I still say it was a silly joke.

Scoot, take Geno and the Professor and hide somewhere near the bunker.

Right. Captain, we'll look for Kureta. I think Snowy can trace him from the

scent of his hat.

Okay, but let's get out of here before Alan shows up.

Professor,

we've got to go.

You're feeling rather low.

Well, I'm not surprised. My pendulum is behaving very strangely also.

Come on.

It's incredible.

I've never seen anything like it.

I'm losing my temper, Crow Spell.

Huh? Turn the lights off.

He's waking up.

I want that account number.

Don't yell.

I'm such a horrible man.

My grandfather was right.

Laszlo used to say, Laszlo, remember, an ill -gotten camel gathers no gain.

Idiot! This is all your fault.

But, boss, I can explain.

No! You stuck me with a needle.

What is it, boy?

That must be where they're holding Caritas.

I'm sorry, boss, clumsy quack.

That needle was empty, wasn't it? Well, almost. Are you feeling bad?

Bad? Me?

Bad? Of course I'm bad.

Bad? You don't know bad.

I'm an evil genius.

Don't cry.

You couldn't possibly be as bad as me. What are you talking about?

I'm better than you.

Or not. Am too.

Tell him I'm the baddest.

He's the... Tell him how I was going to shoot you after I got the account

number. He was... What?

Oh, that's not bad.

My great aunt was so ashamed of me, she laid down and died.

Now that's bad.

Ha! That's nothing. I ruined my three brothers, two sisters, and dragged my

parents down to the gutter. Do you believe this?

What? Nobody blows a raspberry at me. Take this.

We'd better get in there.

Help, the boss is... Help me, the boss has gone crazy. Tie him up, Captain.

deal with Rastapopolis.

I'm two.

I'm not.

I'm two.

All right, that's enough.

Din Din, you know me. Tell him I'm the baddest.

Here, stop that.

Listering barnacles, you're unbearable.

So, who's the baddest now?

I'm the baddest, I am, I am, I'm the baddest. You've got to help me. He was

going to kill me.

I said stop it.

Listering, you've got...

Help me.

Please.

I'm the baddest. Please.

You've got to help me.

I am.

I'm the baddest.

Now let's move it.

This way.

This will be some story.

So funny.

It all started when Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, and I were on our

to a scientific convention in Australia and were introduced to a most unusual

man. The millionaire, Las Locaredas. So, you're all going to Sydney, are you?

Yes, we're just waiting for our plane.

No need to wait any longer. You're coming with me.

Sir, we've run into unexpected trouble.

We'd better call off the mission.

My friends are coming with us as guests of Mr. Karedas.

They'll come aboard, everyone.

But our welcome was short -lived.

Hands up, all of you.

That's it, young man. Get his gun. Nice try.

Now get with the others.

Good work, Spalding.

I think they prepare to land.

There is an island.

Ratapapalan.

person, dear boy.

Why have you brought us here?

All I want is Mr. Kareda's money.

You see, the doctor has invented a serum that makes people tell the truth,

whether they want to or not.

He's showing resistance, boss. You won't get one word out of me.

I want that account number.

Don't yell.

Idiot, this is all your fault.

But boss, I can explain.

You stuck me with a needle.

Help, the boss is... Help me, the boss has gone crazy.

Here, stop that.

Listering barnacles, you're unbearable. And with our companions under control,

we headed off to rescue our friends.

Hey, get back here.

Captain, quiet.

Tell that to these two. The serum hasn't worn off yet.

All right, cut it out.

Ow! Quiet, you.

Captain, no.

He's delirious. He doesn't know what he's doing.

Huh?

Blistering barnacles.

Now let's get moving.

We can't wait for the serum to wear off. We've got to find the others before...

Yikes! Get down!

Hey! Get down!

Rastapopulus! You'd better go after him.

I'll hold down the fort.

Hey, get back here.

Blistering. Furnace.

Confound everything.

He got away.

That's okay. Just get Karedis and the doctor out of here.

I'll catch up with you on the mountain.

Come on.

You've escaped.

Sorry,

I... Never mind. Just get me Caritas.

Give it up, wonder boy.

You're outgunned.

Hey, I'm talking to you.

They must have made a run for it. Then what are you waiting for?

After them.

But I want Caritas alive.

All right, boys, let's go.

Captain?

Try to pick up their scent, Snowy.

What?

What's happening?

Who's that?

Who's there?

What?

Fifty meters west?

Try the clearing!

Come on, Snowy!

Don't forget that Rastapoppa has planned to kill you.

Don't worry.

I want to get off this island as much as you do.

Good. Then you take care of Caratus, and I'll go look for Tintin.

He'll never find us in here.

Grab Caratus and follow me.

How in blazes did he?

Come on! But where are you taking us?

Higher up. Look for a flat stone.

What?

Tintin!

Tintin!

How did you know there was... Quick! Into the cave!

But I hate caves, Tintin!

Tintin! You're trapped!

Come out or I'll... I'll... I'll blow you out!

All right!

You asked for it!

One... Two... Three... What am I doing?

The boss wants Greatest alive.

Idiot! Uh -oh.

It's the strangest thing, Captain.

You're hearing what?

A voice in my head. It's telling me what to do.

That's crazy.

Maybe, but this voice hasn't steered me wrong yet.

Look. Wow.

I'm sorry, boss.

Never mind me. Where are my prisoners?

They're in the cave.

Well, go in and get them. You heard the boss.

What are you waiting for? Get in there.

You and your voices. Now we're trapped.

Quick, this way.

The right eye of the statue?

Correct, the right eye?

An underground

passage.

Dead end?

What's that?

Hey, this belongs to Kratos.

Idiot.

There must be some kind of passage behind this. Go get the dynamite. You

him. Get the dynamite.

But how did you know to press the eye of that statue?

The voice told me.

Voices! Voices! Have you completely... Huh?

Who's that?

Yes, sir.

I'll be quiet.

Sir.

Tintin! Wait for me!

Professor?

Most irregular.

Professor Calculus?

Professor! I thought you were back at the camp.

What are you doing here?

Oh, hello, Tintin.

Do be near, you say?

Oh, I hope not.

But my pendulum is behaving rather oddly. I'll have to ask our host.

Host? Ghost? Oh, no. He's quite real.

See for yourself.

What?

Good evening, gentlemen.

My name is Mike Kondrokitov.

You're the voice in my head.

Duh. This thought transmitter allows for telepathic communication.

That's quite some invention you came up with.

I cannot take the credit. The thought transmitter was invented by those from

other world.

What other world?

I am acting as link between Earth and those on an extraterrestrial planet.

Aliens, I believe you are calling them.

Aliens? Oh, come on. You expect us to believe that?

See there? Proof is on the wall.

That was painted over a thousand years ago. That looks like a spaceship.

Say, where's my hat?

What's the matter?

The serum has worn off. I thought he'd be okay, but he's gone crazy.

Ah, you will pay for what you've done. All of you. And I want my hat.

Where is my hat?

Go and look for it now.

At once.

You are under my control. Be quiet and do as you are told.

Okay. Here is your hat. Put it on and be quiet.

Oh, thank you. I always catch cold when my head's uncovered.

Wonderful day, isn't it?

Hey, where's your manners?

I just lifted my hat to you. You saw a cat?

Really?

Upstart?

Stop! Help!

Help!

Professor!

Get a hold of yourself!

No, it was him.

He started it. Mr. Can -Rock -It -Off. You are wanting to know about your

friends, yes?

Gino! Scoot!

You're safe!

Relax. It's only a tremor.

These South Sea islands are famous for them. It's true. But this is not an

ordinary island.

This temple is built in center of volcano.

One more tremor and it may erupt.

Is the volcano erupting? That was not a volcano. It was explosion set off by

gangsters, I think.

Thundering tonic wounds.

I'm sensing great danger very close.

We must get to the crater.

But if the volcano is erupting... But that is where we... The smoke is poison.

Hold handkerchief over mouth.

Where's my hand?

Hey, get back here! I need my...

Almost there.

Hmm, most irregular.

What's this?

Oh, fascinating.

Look, everyone.

Hello?

Leading us to the crater of a volcano that's ready to blow?

It is where Astro Ship is coming.

You are crazy.

Captain, have you seen the professor?

Yeah, he was right behind us. He's still inside.

You can't go back there.

Calculate! Captain!

Will he be okay, Doctor?

He should be.

Repeat,

we require immediate evacuation.

Any luck?

They are coming.

I don't believe what I'm seeing.

Climb the ladder.

Come on, Snowy.

All aboard, Chief Pilot.

This is incredible.

Blistering barnacles.

This is amazing.

Fantastic.

Huh? No one would ever believe this.

That is correct.

No one will believe your story because you will never tell it.

What? Of course we will.

Nyet. You see, your hosts believe many on Earth are not ready to be learning of

other worlds.

What are you going to do?

You will not be harmed. Simple mass hypnosis is all.

Mass hypnosis is impossible.

Besides, that sort of nonsense would never affect us.

You will be forgetting everything

about this island.

Forget.

The last thing you will be remembering is flying in Mr. Caridas' jet.

Caridas' jet.

Captain Scoot, the flight is uneventful.

Uneventful. Mr. Caridas, you play a game of battleships with Captain Hardor.

Battleships. You are cheating, naturally.

Naturally. From that point on, your memories are a complete blank.

Do you understand?

I'm telling you, it's a flying saucer. I don't care what it is. Just shoot it

down.

Now, Tim, Tim, you and your comrades, please, board the light boat.

Come back, Dr.

Crossbell. We have special plans for you.

The plane is crashing.

Sleep now.

Sleep now.

Can you see the island?

What's left of it.

Did you get it? Sure did. What a sight.

Huh?

Macassar Tower. We've got some folks in a lifeboat down there.

Well, I'll be.

Huh?

Where are we?

So you... have no idea how you got over 300 miles off your flight course.

No.

Well, what about the rest of the crew?

I can't remember.

I don't know.

As reported, Dr.

Crospell, the former head of the New Delhi Psychiatric Clinic, was found

wandering somewhere in India, suffering from a severe case of amnesia. In a

story that may be related, All the survivors of the Caritas jet crash are

afflicted with amnesia.

Colin Chathamore is at the Jakarta airport with that story. Colin? I'm here

the well -known reporter, Tin Tin, who was among the survivors of the crash.

Tin Tin, tell us, what happened out there?

Well, there was nothing unusual about the flight, but everything after the

takeoff is a complete blank.

So you have no clue as to how you ended up near that erupting volcano?

Only one.

I'll let Professor Charculeth tell you about it. It has to do with this bolt I

discovered in my pocket after our rescue.

I've completed my tests on it, and they all point to the same thing.

This metal was not made on Earth. We just don't have the technology.

There you have it, folks. Odd coincidence, or were aliens involved?

Who can ever tell us what really happened?
