While making a stop in Jakarta on their way to a scientific conference in Sydney; Tintin, Haddock and Calculus happen to run into the former two's friend Piotr Skut, the Estonian pilot from ''[[Tintin
Unfortunately for all involved, the plane ends up being hijacked by the jet's crew (all of whom were substitutes for the regular crew who were all involved in "accidents") and Carreidas' assistant Spalding. They land on an abandoned volcanic island in the South Pacific and are held at gunpoint by armed gunmen who, to Tintin's horror, apparently kill Snowy. They are greeted by none other than Tintin's nemesis Rastapopoulos and his [[Dragon]] Allan. Having lost most of his fortune in his previous scheme, Rastapopoulos plans on stealing the money in Carreidas' [[Swiss Bank Account]]. To do this he hired the services of [[Herr Doctor|Dr. Krollspell]], who has developed an experimental [[Truth Serum]]. Rastapopoulos and Krollspell take Carreidas away while the rest are held prisoner in a bunker. Eventually they escape with the help of Snowy, who turns out to be alive.
