01:00Ahoy, Tin-Tin!
01:29to you, old boy. Hi, Captain. Boy, there's nothing like an invigorating ride in the country
01:34air. You mean the cold air. Come on in and warm up, landlubber. Ah, that's better. Hmm,
01:50news should be on. Blistering barnacles! The famous opera singer, Bianca Castafiore, arrived
02:04in San Theodoro today. She is scheduled to give a command performance for General Tapioca
02:08this evening. Traveling with her are two highly trained detectives who have been assigned
02:12to keep an eye on Madame's extensive jewelry, which is reportedly insured for over two million
02:17dollars. Madame Castafiore will continue her triumphant tour through the rest of this month
02:23and will return to your... Hello? Who? Uh, who? Yes, Jolly and Wag. Now, look here. I
02:31just saw Bianca on the telly. If she needed insurance, you should have sent it to me.
02:36But, listen, I... I work bottom as the lowest pricing man. Well, that's great, but... And
02:40while I've got you, Captain, what about the policy on your estate? I can give you a terrific
02:44deal, what do you say? That's what I say. Astra goth! First Bianca Castafiore, then
02:51Jolly on Wag. What a way to start the weekend. And now, the 8 o'clock news. Bianca Castafiore
03:10was arrested last night in San Theodoro. She is accused of partying against General
03:14Tapioca. She is being held in house arrest. Tintin! Tintin! Tapioca's arrested the Castafiore!
03:23Are you kidding? No, I'm not. The radio said she was plotting against him or something.
03:29Castafiore plotting? That's absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding. Tintin!
03:35Captain, look! That dictator Tapioca has arrested Madame. Documents detailing the plot were
03:41found in Madame Castafiore's luggage. That's terrible. The documents named Tintin, Captain
03:48Haddock and Professor Calculus as co-conspirators. Simply terrible. General Tapioca has ordered
03:55a full investigation. What a load of bilge water. We'd better set Tapioca straight. Let's
04:01send him a telegram denying the charges. Tremble, I say, you cowards, skulking in their
04:08dusty mansion. Puppet masters in this vile conspiracy. Tremble, crooked Captain Haddock.
04:14Crooked yourself, you dictatorial duck-billed diplodocus. I have just received this. It
04:23is a telegram from Tintin denying the charges. Well, I'm a reasonable man. This may be an
04:32innocent misunderstanding. Huh? And that is why I invite Tintin and his friends to come
04:39to Tapiocopolis to clear this matter up. I personally guarantee them safe passage for
04:46a fair and frank exchange of views. My only aim is to seek out the truth. Well, that's
04:56good enough for me. Hmm, could be a trick. But he promised a safe passage. Promises are
05:02cheap. Weep? Madame is weeping? Oh dear, we must go to Tapiocopolis immediately. No, Professor.
05:10Maybe Tintin's right. Well spoken, Captain. I'll pack right away for the flight. Professor...
05:15Are you still worried about the trip? I just don't like it, Captain. Something's not right.
05:33Nothing's going to happen. Trust me. Hmm. It says here that Tapioca got into power by toppling
05:41the last ruler in a military coup. That was General Alcazar. He's a friend of mine. Really?
05:47Where is he now? The last I heard, he was hiding in the jungle trying to organize the resistance.
05:53Listen to this. In the past year, Tapioca has come under attack from a terrorist group called
05:59the Picaros. Tourists are advised to be careful. It's okay, Captain. Those must be Alcazar's men.
06:06Oh, that's okay then. For a minute there, I was getting worried too.
06:09Commodore Haddock. Welcome to Tapiocopolis. Thank you, but I'm just Captain. Such modesty.
06:38Senor Tintin? Yes? General Tapioca has been detained on business. I am Colonel Alvarez,
06:45his aide-de-camp. How do you do? Ah, and you must be Professor Calculus. A pleasure to meet you,
06:54Senor Professor. Forgive me, Officer, but I cannot shake the hand of someone who disregards
07:00human rights. Don't take any notice of Calculus. He's just making a joke. Of course. Now,
07:09if you gentlemen will follow me, I will take you to your accommodations.
07:13How is Madam Castafiore? She is very well, Senor. Can we see her? I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that is
07:32not possible. And what about Madam Castafiore? Senor? Don't tell me you've forgotten about her.
07:40No, Senor. It is not possible to forget Madam Castafiore.
07:49Carnival? It is a very big affair. Performers come from all over the world.
07:56Sounds like fun. Si, Senor Commodore. Colonel, where are you taking us? I thought we were staying
08:04in the city. The city gets very noisy during Carnival, so General Tapioca made new arrangements
08:10to get you peaceful accommodations in the country. You've got us well guarded. A simple precaution
08:23against terrorists. Nothing to be alarmed about. I trust these accommodations will be to your
08:32liking, Senores? They're fine. Ah, Manolo. Manolo has been assigned to look after you.
08:42Just call and he will come. I will leave you now. Please make yourselves comfortable.
08:49He looks like a thug.
09:05Maybe we misjudged Tapioca. This place seems comfortable enough. Remember your orders,
09:11Manolo. Si, Senor Colonel. You will watch them very carefully. Si, Senor Colonel.
09:19They do not suspect anything, Colonel Spence. Good. My plan is working. You were right,
09:35Colonel. Tintin could not resist coming to Tapiocapolis to check the false documents we
09:41planted on Castafiore. Interference comes naturally to him. He ruined one of my most
09:48important operations in Borduria because he cannot mind his own business. However,
09:54this time he will regret it. Ah, what a beautiful night. I think I'll open the doors.
10:13Hmm. Must be stuck. Confounded thing. Confounded thing.
10:29Is Senor okay? Senor will be fine if you put away that blunderbuss. Si. Why won't the windows open?
10:38They are sealed for air conditioning to keep the cold air in. We'll turn off the
10:44canned air and let's get some fresh air. Windows, they do not open. Buenas noches, Senor.
10:52Thanks, friend. Really, you try too hard. I clean up. You do that. There's a good chap.
11:08Now, where did I put my tobacco? Senor, where are you going? To get some tobacco. No, Senor,
11:19too late. All stores are closed now. Then I'll just take a walk instead. No, Senor, it's not
11:27allowed. Not allowed? It's no good for security. Picaros might attack. I must insist you go back
11:35to room, Senor. Insist, huh? Okay. Good night. You were right, Tintin. You want to hear some music,
11:47Captain? Music? No, I don't want music. I say that we're prisoners. Are you mad? Turn it off.
12:03Look, it's a microphone. You mean they can hear us? Not only that,
12:10they're watching us as well. Tintin has found us out, Colonel Spence.
12:17He is no fool. Never mind. He is only a few short hours from death.
12:39We've got to get out of here. Maybe we could escape when we meet with Tapioca.
12:50If we're allowed to meet with him.
12:57Come in. Buenas tardes, Senors. Manolo had a minor accident. I am his replacement.
13:09Do you mind? I love this music. Oh, not at all. Ah, lunch. I'm starved.
13:24Not that booyah bass again. You are in great danger, Senors.
13:31Tomorrow, an attack by the Picaros will be faked. Thank you. In the course of the fighting,
13:38you will all be killed. Killed? It would be meant to look like an unfortunate accident.
13:45Why does General Tapioca want to kill us? It is not General Tapioca.
13:52It is Colonel Spence. Spence? The chief of police in Show Hold? That is the one.
14:03He's been assigned to General Tapioca to reorganize his security police.
14:08General Alcazar says not to worry. No, thanks. General Alcazar? Si, Senor. I work for him.
14:15No, thank you. Oh, I can't believe it.
14:23What? Oh, it's just a bird. In the window. A beautiful one.
14:31What's Alcazar's plan? Tomorrow, you will be taken on a trip to see the Pyramid of Hot Water Bottle.
14:39You will ask these soldiers if you can climb to the top. I will go with you.
14:44When we are safely out of the way, General Alcazar...
14:49Blistering barnacles! That tastes horrible! Pardon me, Senor.
14:55As I was saying, once we are out of the way, an attack by the real Picaros will be mounted.
15:01The wine is excellent, Senor. Boulder Dash!
15:09It worked! So the Picaros will attack. And then what, Pablo? Uh, yes. In the confusion,
15:17you will tie me up and escape. General Alcazar will be waiting for you in the jungle.
15:22Pablo, thanks. It is nothing, Senor.
15:44Your friend seems preoccupied. Oh, so you've noticed. He's upset that we haven't met with
15:50General Tapioca yet. Oh, I forgot. The General sends his apologies. He will see you tomorrow
15:56morning. Oh, really? Great. Yo! What? Why are we stopping? I thought we were going to the Pyramid.
16:12A slight change in plans, Senor. What do you mean, a slight change in plans? We want to go to the
16:17Pyramid. We will go to the Pyramid shortly, Captain. But first, we stop for your tobacco.
16:26Oh, yes, of course.
16:48It's magnificent. If you wish to climb it, I will take you up. Lead the way.
17:08Senores, be careful. The steps are very steep. We'll be careful, Colonel. Come on, Professor.
17:18Oh, come along, Professor. No, thank you, Captain. I suffer from fear of heights.
17:27Don't be silly. Great sunspots, Captain. Leave me alone. I tell you, I don't want to. Come on.
17:35You don't want to miss the view. Where did you stop it, Captain? For goodness sake. I can't believe it.
17:43Phew. That took longer than I thought. We must hurry, Senor. Here, tie me up.
17:55Your conduct is unqualifiable, Captain. Unqualifiable. That's what it is. We made it.
18:03My word. Now what's going on?
18:12Take Spidey. Captain, take the Professor and find Alcazar. We'll catch up with you. Gotcha.
18:18I demand to help. Thank you, Pablo. I will never forget. Quick, Senor. You may thank me later.
18:33Come on, Professor. Leave me alone.
18:40Follow us. Come alive, Professor.
18:47Into the truck. Quickly. You go with the driver.
18:57General Alcazar. Hop in, amigo.
19:00So, the trap is sprung. Good work, Pablo. It was quite easy, Colonel. Puma to Jaguar. Come in. Jaguar to Puma. Receiving you.
19:10Alcazar's truck is on its way. It should reach your position in approximately seven minutes. Don't miss it. Over.
19:18Do not worry, Puma. I cannot miss. Over and out. You see? General Alcazar is true to his friends.
19:26As soon as I got your message, I... Our message? But Pablo came to us with your message.
19:31What message? What are you saying, amigo? Target approaching. Pablo is one of my most loyal men.
19:38Then why did he lie to both of us? Load. No. Pablo would not betray me.
19:48Would you stake your life on that jet? Hey, there's something on the road.
19:52Here, take a look. Thanks. It's just a monkey. Aim.
20:00Wait. Something frightened him. Stop the truck, General. Are you crazy, amigo? Stop. Fire.
20:07Fools, you missed. Reload. Captain, calculus.
20:21Let's get out of here. Professor, I most strongly suggest that whoever was driving this truck
20:27invest in a few lessons. Come on, Professor. King, I can walk. Fire.
20:38Quickly, check the wreckage.
20:45Come on. No one could survive that. Jaguar to Puma. Jaguar to Puma. Go ahead, Jaguar.
20:54Mission accomplished. Over. Received. Excellent. Colonel Sponsor be pleased. You have done well,
21:02Pablo. I can't believe Pablo, that renegade. Double-crosser, turncoat, swine. Actually,
21:16he really did do us a favor. Now Colonel Spons thinks we are dead, so we're free to come up
21:22with a plan to rescue our friends, Bianca and the Thompson's. You're forgetting, we're stuck
21:27in the middle of a jungle. Not for long. Alcazar said we should reach his camp soon. That should be
21:34a treat. Hi, amigos. I've been thinking, you want to join the Picaros, eh? Oh, great. That's all we
21:43need. We've gone from being plotters to prisoners, ambush victims to terrorist guerrillas. What next?
21:51Oh, what are you laughing at? Frankly, Captain, I didn't understand why we came down the pyramid
21:58so quickly, when you forced me to climb up there in the first place. Give me strength.
22:08Not far to the camp now. How many Picaros are there, General? 30 or so. 30? Is that enough to
22:16overthrow Tapioca? With me as their leader, 30 Picaros can do anything. We plan to sneak
22:23into the capital during Carnaval and free your friends. Captain?
22:36Captain, are you okay? Anchors away.
22:47How did they get those bottles? Tapioca drops them into the jungle.
22:51He knows the Picaros will drink them, so they will not be able to fight.
23:03The Bendito River will lead us to the Picaro camp.
23:10Take cover.
23:11If it is one of Tapioca's, I just hope they didn't see us. Captain!
23:17What's that? A Picaro by the river?
23:23Where did he go? Caramba! He's disappeared.
23:32Captain! Blistering barnacles! Hang on, Captain!
23:42How'd I get here?
23:52Gunshots! Coming from the camp!
24:05Looks like the bottles got here before we did. General, come join the party.
24:11Caramba!
24:20You've got some nerve sneaking out of the camp without telling me.
24:24If you think you can just run off and leave me anytime you want,
24:28you've got another thing coming. Understood? Yes, my dove.
24:34And who are these guys? These are my old friends.
24:37Captain Haddock, Tin Tin, and Professor Coccolos.
24:41My dear lady, your lovely welcome has moved me deeply.
24:46It shall be a pleasure to share your delightful company as we prepare for war.
24:53Oh, well, they can stay in the tool hut.
24:58She may seem a little harsh, but she has a heart of gold.
25:02Alcazar! What a charming woman. Such grace and beauty.
25:09As for her husband, his revolution will never succeed if his army keeps drinking.
25:15I know. There goes our best chance to rescue the Thompsons and Madame Castafiore.
25:21Luckily for everyone, I've been doing some herbal experiments in jungle apothecary.
25:26Jungle apothe-what? No, not at all, Captain.
25:29I've developed something that will make those men stop drinking.
25:33Anyone taking one of these pills will find the taste of alcohol unbearable.
25:37And the very first person whom I tested it on was you, Captain.
25:41Me? You miserable, blundering, barbecued blister!
25:45My sister has nothing to do with it. It's a scandal.
25:50Hmm. Pills. The Pacaros will probably resist it.
25:54My sister? I've asked you to leave her out of this.
25:58No, Professor. The Pacaros will resist taking these pills.
26:03Unless we sneak them into their food. It's worth a try.
26:10Come to think of it, I don't have a sister.
26:12But if I did, this is the last place I'd want her to be.
26:17General, I know how to stop the Pacaros from drinking.
26:20But first you have to promise that the revolution will be peaceful. No executions.
26:25A revolution without executions? I would be the laughingstock of the country.
26:30But, surely, we can make another deal.
26:37How about a fief of gold reserves in El Banco de la Nacion?
26:42I'm not interested in money. I want a peaceful revolution.
26:46Forget it. I'll get the Pacaros under control myself.
26:53Huh? Grenade!
26:57Tear gas!
27:01Oh, Tintin! I have changed my mind. I will accept your conditions.
27:19Now, my friends, you must watch the ridiculous justice of General Tapioca.
27:23TV coverage? Even in a remote jungle camp?
27:27Before you sit two evil, brutal men. So cunning are these would-be assassins.
27:35They have even grown mustaches to better fit in and gain our trust.
27:41We object. We will bone with our mustaches.
27:45Silence! I find you guilty. Death!
27:50It's not fair. I told you, amigo.
27:53As for you, Bianca Castafiore, you will spend the rest of your life in prison.
27:58Oh, you are making a joke, no? A silly joke made by a silly little soldier.
28:03It's no joke. Here is proof.
28:05You make me laugh.
28:11Was I ever Marguerite?
28:16Oh, my. Gentlemen, please.
28:18Kill him. Hang the traitor.
28:21What's going on?
28:22The spy. I caught him dropping pills into the chili. He was trying to poison us.
28:34General?
28:38It's okay, amigos. Those pills were only vitamins.
28:45I don't trust this food. The dog must eat it first.
28:48Doggie-woggie.
28:49Come.
28:50Good stuff. Yum. Yum. Eat it.
28:56Amigos, who wants to eat this stuff?
28:59Back. Snowy, eat.
29:04Eat. Come on, boy.
29:09You see? Totally safe.
29:20I say, how far to Capiracopolis?
29:47Uh, we aren't sure.
29:56Yes, my buttons. Look who it is. It's Tintin and the captain.
30:00Jolly on wag?
30:02You've got it, old friend. Oopsie-daisy.
30:06Me and my troop, the Jolly Follies, have been invited to perform at the big carnival.
30:12I designed those cottons myself. Nice, eh? Don't you think?
30:16Very interesting.
30:20What's going on, amigo?
30:22Ah, the chap in charge. Mind if my gang spends the night in your camp?
30:26Forget it.
30:28Uh, General?
30:33Perhaps I spoke a little easterly, my friend. You may stay here as long as you like.
30:45Ah!
31:05Morning, Professor. Sleep well?
31:07Alcazar!
31:10Where is that lazy?
31:15Peggy, my dove. At dawn, we left to overthrow the tyrant, Tapioca.
31:21Love, Alcazar. P.S. Due to the revolution, I will not be home in time to cook dinner.
31:28Alcazar!
31:31I feel bad sneaking off with Wag's bus like this.
31:47What's more important? Some silly tourists?
31:50Or winning the revolution and saving your friends from the firing squad?
31:55If you put it that way. But will we make it in time?
31:59Another hour and we will be there in time for part two of your plan.
32:07Long live the revolution!
32:29A carnival and an execution on the same day. Isn't life grand, Colonel Alvarez?
32:42It is with you as our leader, your excellency.
32:45Look at those people. All of them love me.
32:49Is it really safe to stand on this balcony?
32:53What if a few treacherous Picaros have sneaked into town?
32:56The Picaros? Nonsense. Colonel Sponsor is taking care of them.
33:01Haven't you, Colonel? You worry too much.
33:04The Picaros are far away and too drunk to be of any danger.
33:09You see, Colonel Alvarez, you worry too much.
33:27And what is this?
33:35Remember your promise, General. No bloodshed.
33:39Si, I remember.
33:57You ready with the chloroform?
34:01Ready.
34:05Ah!
34:21Ha ha ha ha ha! They are hilarious!
34:25Alvarez, I would like to meet some of them.
34:29The show's over, Tapioca.
34:32Is this a joke?
34:34Si, the biggest joke ever.
34:39Alcazar?
34:40That's General Alcazar to you.
34:45Captain, look who's at the window.
34:49Colonel Spons, we meet again.
34:53Pin Pin!
34:54I heard you were behind this, Spons.
34:57Nonsense. The Bordurian government has sent me here as an official representative
35:01to advise General Tapioca's military.
35:04He's lying.
35:05Be quiet.
35:07No, let's hear it, Alvarez.
35:09He wanted revenge for when you humiliated him in his homeland.
35:13So he planted false documents on Madame Casafiori and had her arrested.
35:17Knowing I would come to help them.
35:19Nice try, Spons.
35:21Read it. Read it!
35:24No. I said read it!
35:28Citizens of Santiodoro, rejoice.
35:33I, General Tapioca, surrender all my power to General Alcazar.
35:43Get this tape to the radio station.
35:46Have them play it right away.
35:48As for your execution...
35:52Uh, General?
35:54There will be no execution.
36:00No execution? Are you crazy?
36:03It's not my idea. It's his!
36:06But, senor, he has to execute me.
36:09Tradition demands it.
36:12Sorry, Tapioca.
36:13You'll be exiled to Borduria with your pal, Spons.
36:17Exiled?
36:19You can't!
36:20The shame!
36:21The humiliation!
36:24Alvarez, unless you want to join Spons in Borduria,
36:29you'd better get on the phone and stop the Thompsons' execution.
36:33Yes, sir.
36:46The phone is dead.
36:48Epicaros must have cut the line.
36:49We have to get to the prison at once.
36:52Colonel Alvarez!
36:54Take Din Din and the captain to the prison!
36:57Si, El General.
36:59Hurry, amigos!
37:00We have only five minutes to stop the firing squad.
37:13I am sorry, senores, but it is time.
37:16We must go.
37:18Right then.
37:19One must be on time.
37:22Precisely, Thompson.
37:23One must always be on time for one's execution.
37:27Citizens of Santiodoro, rejoice.
37:31I, General Tapioca, surrender all my power to General Alcazar.
37:45If only we had a car.
37:47A car would never make it through this crowd.
37:49No, but that big float will.
37:55To the prison!
37:56Quickly!
38:02Clear the road!
38:19Look out!
38:21Coming through!
38:25A final cigarette?
38:27Aid for our health.
38:29Blindfolds?
38:31But Thompson likes to look death right in the eye.
38:34Right, Thompson?
38:36Right.
38:38Squad!
38:40Ready!
38:42There is the prison!
38:44There is the prison!
38:48Well, Thompson?
38:50Any last words?
38:52How about goodbye?
38:54Aim!
38:56Hold your fire!
39:00Hands up!
39:02By order of His Excellency General Alcazar,
39:06this execution is cancelled.
39:10Sorry we couldn't get here sooner.
39:12Quite all right, Tintin.
39:14We're policemen.
39:16All in the line of duty.
39:18Now, what about Madame Castafiore?
39:20You fool!
39:22Tell that chef of yours,
39:24I said,
39:26al dente!
39:28Mamma mia!
39:30My rescuing prince!
39:34I knew you'd come to save me.
39:38My dear Irma,
39:40Mr. Wagner, what a pleasure
39:42to see you together again.
39:44I must sing something.
39:48As President,
39:50I award you the
39:52Sacred Order of San Teodoro.
39:54Glad to have been of service.
39:56Right!
39:58A big hurrah for the General!
40:04I am touched.
40:06Now please, go out
40:08and enjoy the carnival!
40:16As for you, Professor,
40:18without your peels,
40:20the revolution could never have been launched.
40:22Beans for lunch?
40:24Oh, no, thank you.
40:28What about you, Tintin?
40:30Are you sure you will not accept a reward?
40:32Freeing my friends
40:34was reward enough for me.
40:36Thanks for keeping your promise.
