 In [[2000]], on one episode of the French-language version of ''[[wikipedia:Who Wants to be a Millionaire?|Who Wants to be a Millionaire?]]'' 73% of the voting audience correctly chose Patella (or Doctor Rotule, as he is known in the French version) as the doctor who treated Captain Haddock in ''Explorers on the Moon''. This led to allegations that the show was rigged, questioning how could such a large portion of the audience could pick out of four options the correct answer, especially given Patella's very minor role in the series. A psychoanalyst postulated that children remember proper names much better than adults, hence its retention by members of the audience who read ''Tintin'' in their youth.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/970435.stm</ref>

 Incapable of respectfully declining Carreidas's offer to ride in his prototype private jet, Tintin and the others join the tycoon to Sydney. Carreidas plays a game of Battleships with Haddock, beating him continually by way of cheating with a hidden camera and monitor. Unsuspectingly to Carreidas and the others, Spalding and two of the pilots, [[Hans Boehm]] and [[Paolo Colombani]], have been hired to skyjack the plane and convey it to a deserted volcanic [[Sondonesia]]n island called [[Pulau-Pulau Bompa]]. Skut is not involved in this plot; and consequently he becomes a hostage as well. After an irregular landing, tha captives are ushered out of the plane, and a terrified Snowy leaps out of Tintin's arms and runs away. Armed guards fire at him, and a horrified Tintin believes him to be dead. In another shock to Tintin, the mastermind of the plot is then revealed to be [[Rastapopoulos]], intent on taking Carreidas' fortune. Captain Haddock's corrupt ex-First-Mate, [[Allan Thompson]], is present as one of Rastapopoulos's henchman.
 The prisoners are tied up and kept in abandoned Japanese World War II-era bunkers. Rastapopoulos then takes Carreidas to another bunker where his German accomplice, [[Doctor Krollspell]], injects the millionaire with a truth serum to enable Rastapopulos to learn Carreidas's Swiss bank account number. Unfortunately for Rastapopoulos, Carreidas becomes relentlessly eager to tell the truth about his life of greed, perfidy and corruption – everything bar the bank details. Angry, Rastapopulos lunges at Krollspell, who is still holding the truth serum syringe, and is accidentally injected, also becoming intoxicated. He too recounts his hideous past deeds in a boasting manner, and as he and Carreidas begin to quarrel over which is the more evil Rastapopoulos reveals that nearly all of the men he recruited, including Spalding, the aircraft pilots, and (the increasingly unnerved) Krollspell, are already marked to be killed after the mission.
 Snowy, safe after all, helps free Tintin and his friends and find the bunker where Carreidas is held prisoner. Tintin and Captain Haddock bind and gag Krollspell, Rastapopulos, and even the irascible Carreidas, and escort them to lower ground, intending to bargain with Rastapopulos as a hostage. However, the serum wears off and Rastapopulos escapes as Allan detects the escaping prisoners. However, Krollspell, in fear of Rastapopoulos, throws in his lot with Tintin and Haddock; he is subsequently released and continues to accompany Tintin and Haddock, watching the still irritable Carreidas. Rastapopoulos, freed from his bonds, sends Allan and his Sondonesian henchmen to either kill or capture the fugitives. Led by a strange telepathic voice Tintin is hearing, the protagonists discover a hidden entrance to a statue-filled cave. Through a large hallway they discover a temple hidden inside the island's volcano. Rastapopulos and his accomplices are not far behind, but failing to find out how to open the secret passage resort to using dynamite.
 Venturing deeper into the volcano, Tintin and his friends meet [[Mik Kanrokitoff]], a writer for the magazine ''Space Week'', who reveals to them that his is the guiding voice that they have followed, having received it into their minds via a telepathic transmitter. Kanrokitoff obtained the device from an extraterrestrial race of humanoids, who were formerly worshipped on the island as gods and who use it as a landing-point to contact Earth's people. An earthquake and the explosion set off by Rastapopoulos and his men triggers a volcanic eruption. Despite Carreidas's unreasonable behaviour, Tintin and his party finally reach relative safety inside the volcano's crater bowl. Meanwhile, Rastapopoulos and his henchmen flee the eruption by running down the outside of the volcano and launch a rubber dinghy from Carreidas' plane.
 Once Tintin and his friends find their way out of the volcano, Kanrokitoff puts them all under telepathic hypnosis and summons a flying saucer piloted by the extraterrestrials; the hypnotised group board the saucer, narrowly escaping the volcano's dramatic eruption. Kanrokitoff spots the rubber dinghy and exchanges Tintin and his companions for Allan, Spalding, Rastapopulos, and the treacherous pilots, who are whisked away in the saucer to an unrevealed fate. The group – including Krollspell, who is later deposited by the saucer at his institute in Cairo – awakens from hypnosis and cannot remember what happened to them when eventually rescued.

The cobalt is of a state that does not occur on Earth, and is the only evidence of a close encounter with its makers. Only Snowy, who, ironically, cannot speak, remembers the hijacking and alien abduction. The story then finishes with Tintin, Carreidas and companions boarding a public airline to Sydney.

As soon as the emerald is found, it is (temporarily) lost once again by the detectives [[Thompson and Thomson]], only to be found again a few frames later by [[Snowy]], who calls it a "brandyball," underlining the fact that the emerald is merely a device for the whole story to happen, and is in itself meaningless. Apart from the initial encounter with the Roma at the landfill, the story never leaves the confines of the Marlinspike estate, the story being decidedly domestic.

 In the middle of a thunderstorm, Tintin and [[Captain Haddock]] take shelter in [[Marlinspike Hall]]. During the storm, several items of glass and [[wikipedia:Porcelain|chinaware]] within the house break for no apparent reason. An insurance agent, [[Jolyon Wagg]] barges into the hall seeking shelter. He claims that all the windows of his car have somehow blown to bits. More mysterious incidents of glass breaking occur. After the storm, gunshots are heard outside. [[Professor Calculus]] returns from his laboratory with bullet holes in his hat. Investigating outside, Tintin discovers a wounded man in the grounds, though he disappears before he can be questioned further.

-The Bordurians are alerted to their arrival by the two men in Geneva (who were Bordurian secret agents), and they are intercepted at the airport by the Bordurian Secret Police (ZEP). Assigned two minders who take them to a luxury hotel and keep them in bugged rooms, Tintin and Haddock manage to escape and hide in the Szohôd Opera House, where [[Bianca Castafiore]] is performing. She invites them into her dressing room but is visited by [[Colonel Sponsz]], chief of ZEP, in her dressing room.

Sponsz reveals Calculus's location, a prison in the [[Fortress of Bakhine]], and the stress on him to surrender his plans. If he does give them up, then he will be handed over to two officials from the Red Cross, to whom he must swear that he went to the Bordurians of his own accord and gave them his plans voluntarily. Sponsz also reveals that the papers for the officials and Calculus' release are in his overcoat, hanging in the closet in which Tintin and Haddock are hiding.

 Overhearing all this, Tintin and Haddock steal the papers and, disguising themselves as the two Red Cross officials, acquire Calculus' release. When Sponsz is told of this, he quickly raises the alarm, but the three friends manage to escape to the border in a car and later, a tank. When they arrive back in Marlinspike, they find that Jolyon Wagg's family is staying there and has nearly wrecked the house. Realising the destructive potential of his invention, Calculus burns his plans....by lighting them with Haddock's pipe while it is placed in Haddock's mouth. Haddock is incensed, calling Calculus a "jack-in-a-box". The hard-of-hearing Calculus thinks that Haddock has said "chicken pox", and tells Jolyon Wagg that Haddock is suffering from this disease. While Wagg at first interprets it as a joke, he then remembers that chicken pox is infectious, and Wagg doesn't want to be infected, so he and his family leave [[Marlinspike]].

 The next morning, after the Captain's pipe was accidentally switched with the Professor's hearing trumpet and set off a smoke alarm, the trio, accompanied by Wolff go the atomic pile, where they extract plutonium for "cooking" from Uranium-238. Their tour is cut short with the discovery of the misplaced blueprints for the rocket, discovered by Tintin in the wastebasket. The tour continues with Haddock, Tintin, Calculus, Wolff, and Snowy examining an unmanned remote-controlled Rocket that will test the nuclear motor and take snapshots of the moon.

+Curious as to how the facility was penetrated so easily, Tintin treks up into the mountains with Snowy to examine the ventilation grids and radios the Captain with coordinates and possible entry routes. At the center, the Thompsons intercept Wolff and Haddock during a brief power outage, allowing them to sneak off and mistake an x-ray machine for a real skeleton. In the facility's hospital, Tintin is okay, but is forced to spend some time in bed with a grazed skull while final preparations are made for the test rocket's launch-X FLR6. At this time, it is revealed that an unnamed foreign power is using agents to seize vital information on the rocket and intends to disrupt the "Mammoth Project" (their name)'s launch of X-FLR6 via radio interference. All goes well for the team in Sprodj, until their rocket is intercepted and they are forced to destroy it to avoid having it fall into enemy hands.
 For the next several months, construction on the Moon-Rocket is underway, with Tintin, Snowy, Haddock, and Professor Calculus testing the pressure suits in an atmospheric chamber. Fed up with all the waiting around an technical difficulties with his clumsiness, Haddock infuriates Calculus with the phrase "acting the goat." Flying into a rage and marching Haddock (in full space-suit), Tintin, and Snowy to the main vehicle facility, Calculus drives them maniacally to the construction site via jeep, where he shows them the process of building the Moon-Rocket. When reprimanding Haddock for not watching his step, Calculus loses balance and falls down a well onboard, causing him to suffer from temporary anterograde amnesia.

 ==Synopsis==
 Professor Calculus has been kidnapped by a band of men including the Indian [[Chiquito]], one of the last descendants of the Incas. Tintin and Captain Haddock discover their friend is on board the cargo ship ''[[Pachacamac]]'' bound for Callao, Peru and are on a flight to rescue him.
 When Tintin and Haddock intercept the ship, Tintin encounters Chiquito and learns Calculus is to be put to death for wearing the bracelet belonging to the Inca mummy. Unable to rescue Calculus, Tintin and the Captain must set off on the trail of the natives who have taken him. It leads them through the small town of Santa Clara, to the mountain town of Jauga, where a train is sabotaged in an attempt to kill them. They find both the authorities and the locals extremely unwilling to help them track Calculus' kidnappers because of the wrath of the Inca.
 Tintin encounters a young Indian boy named [[Zorrino]], whom he protects from two bullying men of white descent. For that, a mysterious Indian gives Tintin a medallion, telling him it will save him from danger. Zorrino then offers to take them to the Temple of the Sun, where he claims their friend is being held prisoner by the Inca. "The Inca, in these days?" asks Tintin. "White men not know, señor." replies Zorrino. "Only you know." The Temple lies deep in the Andes, and the journey there is long and eventful, involving hindrance from natives and the Captain being terrorised by local wildlife.
 Finally, Tintin, Haddock, and Zorrino come upon the Temple of the Sun—and stumble right into a group of Inca who have survived until modern-day times. They are brought before the noble [[Prince of the Sun]]; on the left stands Chiquito, on the right stands [[Huascar]], the mysterious Indian Tintin encountered in Jauga. Zorrino is saved from harm when Tintin gives him Huascar's medallion, but Tintin and Haddock are sentenced to death for their sacrilegious intrusion. The Inca prince tells them they may choose the hour that the Sun himself will set alight the pyre for which they are destined.

 Tintin and Haddock end up on the same pyre as Professor Calculus. Tintin has, however, chosen the hour of their death to coincide with a solar eclipse, and the terrified Inca believe Tintin can command Pachacamac, their god, the Sun. The Inca prince implores Tintin to make the Sun show his light again. At Tintin's command, the Sun obeys, and the three are quickly set free.
 Afterwards, the Prince of the Sun tells them the seven crystal balls used against the explorers who had excavated Rascar Capac's tomb contained a "mystic liquid" obtained from coca, which plunged the seven explorers into a deep sleep. Each time the Inca high priest cast his spell over seven wax figures he could use them as he willed, as punishment for their sacrilege. Tintin convinces the Inca prince the explorers wished only to make known to the world the splendours of their civilisation. The Inca prince orders Huascar to destroy the wax figures and at that moment in Europe the seven explorers awaken.
 After swearing on their own accord to keep the colony's existence secret, Tintin, Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus are bestowed with a gift of gold and jewels, only a sample of the treasure of the Incas for which the Spanish conquerors searched in vain for so long. Zorrino decides to stay with the Incas; his new friends return safely to Europe

 While browsing in a market in Brussels, Tintin buys an old model ship which he intends to give to his friend [[Captain Haddock]] as a gift. Two strangers, a model ship collector [[Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine]] and a mysterious figure known only as [[Barnaby]], unsuccessfully try to convince Tintin to sell the model to them. Returning home with the model, [[Snowy]] knocks it over and its mainmast broke. Repairing it, and showing the ship to Haddock, the latter is amazed that it is actually a model of the ''[[The Unicorn]]'', a 17th-century warship captained by his ancestor, [[Sir Francis Haddock]]. Later the model ship is stolen, and it is revealed that Sakharine owns an identical model of the Unicorn, although this is also stolen as well. Returning home, Tintin discovers a rolled-up parchment hidden under furniture, on which is a part of a riddle that points to the location of treasure, and he realises that this must have been hidden in the mast that Snowy broke.[[File:Unicorn.png|thumb|''The Unicorn''.]]

As the pickpocket is cornered, his cache of stolen wallets is found, amongst which are the Bird Brothers' wallets containing the missing two parchments. By combining the three parchments, Tintin and Haddock discover the coordinates of the hidden treasure, and begin to plan for an expedition to find it which would be depicted in ''[[Red Rackham's Treasure]]''.
