Plot

Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock set off to find the long-lost treasure of Red Rackham the pirate. From their discoveries in The Secret of the Unicorn, they possess the vital clue to the treasure's hiding-place. But this is no easy search, particularly when the detectives Thomson and Thompson, and Professor Calculus, are in the party. After strange finds on a desert island, and hazardous underwater adventures, the treasure-hunt has an unexpected ending. [AR]

Trivia

  1. On Page 5, Frame 1, 10 and 12, and on Page 6, Frame 5, Tintin's hand turns yellow. [SH]
  2. Calculus is introduced. He has constructed the submarine which is used to find the treasure.
  3. Calculus offers some of his money to Haddock in order for him to buy "Marlinspike" estate, his "family" estate. [Martin Zechner]
