Some vacation, huh, Snowy?

A stopover in Egypt tomorrow,

then next stop, Bombay,

then on to Hong Kong.

Ahhh, this is great.

I say! Save that paper!

Help, somebody! Save that paper!

I'll get it!

That's it!

Excuse me! Coming through!

Uh-oh! Snowy!

Good try, my boy.

Sorry we couldn't save your paper, sir.

Oh, that's alright.

It was just a travel brochure.

What?

Now, if it had been my priceless papyrus,

that would be another matter.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Dr. Sarcophagus.

Hi, I'm Tintin, reporter.

Well, Tintin the reporter,

the winds of fate have just blown

the story of a lifetime your way.

Oh?

I, Sophocles Sarcophagus, the greatest archaeologist of all time,

am about to unearth the lost tomb of the pharaoh Kih-Oskh.

No kidding?

No kidding?

My dear boy, I never kid.

Especially when discussing the lost tomb of the pharaoh.

Lesser archaeologists have dared its curse,

but none never returned.

None?

It could make quite a story for you.

Okay! Count me in!

Bravo! We meet in Cairo at 10 tomorrow.

Then, on to the tomb.

Is this the symbol for the Pharaoh's tomb?

You'll find out tomorrow.

And until then, good day.

Ohh!

You nearsighted klutz!

Watch where you're going!

It was just an accident, sir.

Why, you nosy little punk!

This is a day you'll regret.

Nobody talks to R.J. Rastapopoulos that way!

Nobody!

Now where have I seen him before?

Ah, yes. R.J. Rastapopoulos,

the famous movie producer.

Beware, Dr. Sarcophagus met the young troublemaker.

Dispose of him before we reach Cairo.

Just think, Thompson,

we've flown all this way to arrest our prey.

There are no friends in our line of work, Thomson.

So true, Thompson, so true.

Whoa!

Oh!

Come in.

Don't make a move!

Thompson and Thomson!

What are you guys doing here?

Don't play innocent with us!

What is this? A joke?

Does this look like a joke to you?

Opium?

He admits it!

I don't admit anything!

Exercising your right to remain silent, are you?

Very well.

We're detaining you until the ship docks at port.

Come along.

But what about my plans?

This is supposed to be my vacation!

Some vacation.

The story of a lifetime comes along

and here I am, framed as a drug smuggler.

Hm, I wonder.

Oh!

Hi! Heading ashore by any chance?

Tintin gave the slip to the Police,

and will probably meet Sarcophagus in Cairo.

You have your orders.

Don't fail me.

Aren't you worried about the Pharaoh's curse, Doctor?

My dear boy.

I am not one of those amateur archaeologists

fumbling about in the desert.

Doctor! Look!

I found it!

Fame at last!

The name of Sophocles Sarcophagus

will live in the arcanes of archeology forever!

What is it, Snowy?

A cigar?

Isn't that the Pharaoh's emblem?

Doctor! Look at this!

Doctor?

Doctor!

The Pharaoh's emblem!

Doctor.

Doctor!

Aha! A secret entrance.

He must have gone inside.

Doctor Sarcophagus?

Doctor!

Oh!

Sealed.

Believe in curses, Snowy?

Me neither. Let's go!

That's his umbrella.

And his coat.

Doctor!

More cigars.

The Pharaoh's curse!

These must be the missing archaeologists.

Dr. Sarcophagus!

Oh, no! No way!

Let's get out of here, Snowy.

No!

What's that?

Gas!

Snowy! Snowy!

Nooo!

Ow!

Leave--me--alone!

Move it! Move it!

Coast Guard!

Prepare for boarding!

A raid!

Dump the coffins! Fast!

All hands on deck!

Snowy, you're safe!

Yoo-hoooooo!

Dr. Sarcophagus!

It's a fine moooorning!

What? Shout louder.

I can't hear you over the wind.

What's that? I can't hear a word.

It's the wind!

It's hopeless. He's getting further and further away.

Good thing we dumped the evidence

or they would've nabbed us.

Now if we could only find it again.

Message from the boss.

"Shipment contains prisoners to be taken to rendezvous three.

Guard strictly pending further orders."

What?

Captain! Look!

Get him aboard!

It's getting really rough, Snowy.

Nooo!

My head.

Ah! There you are, my dear sir!

Huh?

Can I interest you in some of the finest merchandise

you ever laid eyes on?

But--but I--I don't--

Fear not, sir.

I'm sure my prices will astonish you.

Prices?

Just let me show you, sir.

Absolutely no obligation.

Beautiful. Beautiful!

Look how it matches your eyes.

Quite, quite perfect.

Yech.

What about a sword?

Real Toledo steal.

An alarm clock? Toothbrush?

Everything a bargain.

What's going on, Snowy?

Right, lads.

Break it up, back to work.

Perhaps some other time, dear sir.

My passenger, Mr. Digala, from Lisbon.

So, how are you feeling today, young Sinbad?

I've felt better, Captain.

You're lucky to be alive.

If my men hadn't spotted you--

Dr. Sarcophagus!

Who?

Did you pick up anyone else last night, Captain?

Just you and the dog.

I must get ashore fast.

My friend is in serious danger.

Goodbye! Good luck!

Goodbye, Captain! And thank you!

You sure I couldn't interest you in something else, young man?

Another canteen, perhaps?

No, thanks. I'm sure I'll be fine.

Goodbye.

Goodbye!

We must find a town, Snowy.

Wow! I didn't expect one so soon!

The place is deserted.

Uh-oh, there's somebody here and they're in trouble!

It's okay, miss, you're safe now.

Cut, cut, cut!

Idiot! Imbecile!

Uh-oh.

You wrecked the whole scene!

Nitwit!

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

What is this? A coffee break?

Why aren't you shooting?

It's all his fault, sir.

Mr. Rastapopoulos?

You!

I'm really very sorry.

That's all right.

No harm done.

So, what are you doing in the middle of the desert?

It's a long story, sir.

Good. My favorite kind.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Get back to work!

Now you'll have to tell me all about it.

I'd be careful if I were you.

It sounds like there might be something to this curse.

Perhaps.

Well, good luck, young man.

And take care in the desert.

Thanks, sir. Goodbye!

Tintin is heading towards Cairo.

See that he doesn't make it.

You're sure that anonymous tip said Tintin was disguised as an Arab?

Positive. That's him alright.

Come peacefully--

or we'll resort to violence!

Whoa!

Run, Thompson, run!

To be precise, I'm running!

Feels like we've been walking forever, Snowy.

Want some, Snowy?

We have to go easy on it.

Get down!

Someone still wants us out of the way, Snowy,

and I don't really want to find out who.

Let's go.

Oh, no! Our water!

Gotta--keep--moving.

Water.

You!

Why are you not in uniform?

The raiders are set to attack!

Attack?

Have you not heard? War has been declared.

Consider yourself drafted. Move it!

Another fine mess I've gotten myself into.

Huh?

The cigars!

Where there's smoke, there's--

bingo!

Hollow?

"Send 200 cases of cigars to Guide Pajama, India.

in view of next 'opium harvest.'"

Guards! Seize this spy!

Some vacation!

I know I wanted to get away from it all,

but a firing squad at dawn?

Ouch.

Pst. Pst.

Over here.

A file!

Wait! Who are you?

Shhh. Hurry.

Come on, Snowy.

Shhh.

It's safe to talk now.

I want to thank you!

Thought you'd given us the slip, did you?

Shameless drug smuggler!

Thompson and Thomson!

Look, I'm not the smuggler. The colonel is.

At least he's involved.

I was framed, Detectives.

They kidnapped me and Dr. Sarcophagus!

Kidnapped? Why?

We found a shipment of hollow cigars

that they use to smuggle drugs.

There's a shipment on its way to India right now.

Oh, that's not good.

To be precise, that's--

There he goes! Get him!

He's on the roof! Quickly!

Now is our chance, Snowy!

You again! Where is your uniforms?

Sorry, sir, but--

I quit!

Now, let's get out of here!

Oops!

Excuse me!

Uh-oh.

There he is!

Ready?

Aim!

Fire!

Hey, hey, hey!

A plane!

But how do I get past the guard?

Help! Help! Help!

Mad dog! Mad dog!

Help!

Stop that plane!

Wee-haw!

I hope Thompson and Thomson made it.

We'll need all the help we can get

if we're going to save Dr. Sarcophagus from those smugglers.

Are you ready for it, Snowy?

Look out, India, here we come!
