– Tintin, Terry, kaptein og Tournesol er på vei til Sydney for et seminar, når flyet mellomlander i Djakarta. Her møter de milliardæren Laszlo Carreidas som med en gang liker Professor Tournesol og som insiterer på at de bytter til hans privatfly. Men på veien igjen til Sydney blir flyet kapret, og på en øy venter en gammel fiende som vil ha tak i bankkontonummeret til Carreidas. Dermed må Tintin og gjengen nok engang sloss mot skurker på en hemmelig øy med huler og hemmelige veier og mystiske menn. Dette er en litt underlig Tintin-historie. Stemmningen er litt dystere, men det er mange humoristiske scener i historien, skurkene er morsomme og Carreidas er også morsomt laget. Ikke det beste Tintin-albumet, men er helt fint og lesbart.
