Karabine and his men take the chest back to their helicopter only to come under attack by the police, including Thomson and Thompson, led by Attila who is revealed to be an undercover police officer. The companions are locked in a cabin, and explosives placed to blow up the ship. Haddock gets caught up in a fishing net, Snowy gets tied up and Tintin is shot at and falls back into the water, left for dead. No sooner have the members of the Golden Fleece got the chest out of the water that they are held at gunpoint by Karabine, Angorapoulos, Yefima and their men who'd snuck aboard. Diving underwater, Tintin discovers a sea-chest filled with long, oddly shaped bars of gold. The map includes an X just off the island's coast and, using his pendulum, Calculus locates the gold's location. Fortunately, Calculus has invented a special tablet called "Super-Cuthbertoleum" which, mixed with the remaining fuel, is more than enough to enable the ship to reach their destination, the island of Thassika. Secretly, Yefima drains the fuel to prevent the ship from leaving port, but Tintin discovers him and throws him overboard in another bout of judo. Tintin and Haddock return to the Golden Fleece, where Professor Cuthbert Calculus has arrived to join them. When Haddock accidentally breaks the bottle, the label is discovered to be a map to the location of Paparanic's gold. Before departing, Father Alexandre gives Tintin and Haddock a bottle of wine which Paparanic gave him while visiting him last Christmas, and told him to drink only after his death. He reveals the rest of the Tetaragua story: when forced out, they'd taken a large quantity of gold from the central bank, and that Captain Paparanic had kept half while the others split the rest. Travelling there, they find the former adventurer is now Father Alexandre, as he has repented and become a monk. He suffers from "memory loss", but for 1000 drachmas reveals that a large amount of gold is involved, and suggests that Tintin and Haddock consult the fifth man in the photo, Alexandre (Charles Vanel) who now lives in a monastery in Meteora. ![]() Saving the kidnap victim, Scoubidouvitch (Dimos Starenios), he is revealed as the fourth man in the photo. Chasing them on a motorbike, the crooks' car is forced off the road, and the villains flee on foot. Trailing him by car, Tintin, Snowy and Haddock follow him to a village in the countryside where Angorapoulous and some accomplices kidnap a musician at a wedding. Tintin later spots Angorapoulos in a barber's shop and follows him to the local offices of Karexport, which is run by Karabine. The article includes a photo of the five men. Tintin finds an old newspaper article showing that in their youth, Paparanic, Papos, Karabine, plus two strangers, were adventurers who were involved in a coup in the Latin American republic of Tetaragua, and formed a short-lived government. Caught holding the gun, Tintin and Haddock are arrested but released thanks to the arrival of the policemen Thomson and Thompson, and on Papos' word, who is alive and recovering in hospital. Grief-stricken to learn of his friend's death, he is shot by a man through the window before he can relate any information. In Athens, Tintin and Haddock go to the carpet seller Midas Papos (DarĂo Moreno), who turns out to be another of Paparanic's old shipmates. After a short round of judo, he is subdued and locked in the hold but escapes, stealing a lifeboat. During the journey Tintin catches Angorapoulos (Marcel Bozzuffi) searching through Paparanic's papers. ![]() One of the clauses of Paparanic's will was that on accepting the ship, they also fulfill its current obligations so after hiring 3 crewmen - Angorapoulos, Attila and Yefima, they set off for Athens to deliver the cargo. While touring Istanbul, there are several attempts on their lives, and determined to find out what is going on Haddock decides to keep the ship. A businessman named Anton Karabine (Demetrios Myrat) arrives and claiming to be an old friend of Paparanic, offers to buy the boat for "sentimental" reasons, but the huge amounts that he offers makes Tintin suspicious and on his advice Haddock to take time to think it over. On board, they meet the ship's cook Clodion and Paparanic's pet parrot Romulus. Tintin ( Jean-Pierre Talbot), Snowy and the Captain travel to Istanbul only to find it's an old cargo ship in a dilapidated state. Captain Haddock ( Georges Wilson) learns that an old shipmate, Paparanic, has died and left him a ship, the Golden Fleece.
