Description of this Tintin and the Lake of Sharks Poster
One night in Brussels, Belgium, two criminals sneak into the aquarium and steal a priceless pearl. As soon as the security guards on duty spot the empty shell, they rush to raise the alarm. The criminals take advantage of the guards’ absence to place a fake pearl, the same size as the real one, inside the shell. When the guards return with the director and he sees the fake pearl, he thinks the guards have made it up, but he changes his mind because a similar case occurred in another museum two weeks earlier.
Meanwhile, Tintin, Snowy, and Captain Haddock arrive in Syldavia, a Balkan country. They have come to join their friend Professor Calculus, who has rented a villa near a lake to build his latest invention. At the airport, they meet Thompson and Thomson, who are also going to Calculus’s house for a special mission.
The four men and the dog fly to Calculus’s house in a rented plane, but during the flight, they experience engine trouble, and the pilot escapes with only his parachute. Tintin tries to land the plane safely, but it ends up on the edge of a cliff and catches fire. They are saved with the help of two local children, Niko and his sister Nushka, and their dog, Gustav. The pilot contacts his superior (“Great Shark”) via walkie-talkie, hidden in his binoculars, to inform him of the failure of his plan.
The children take their new friends in their wagon, but when they learn their destination, they are warned that a curse hangs over the lake, at the bottom of which lies a submerged old city. The group finally arrives at Calculus’s villa, where he demonstrates his invention: a camera capable of projecting holographic images. His ultimate goal is to create a machine that will make real-life copies of physical objects. Later, over dinner, Thompson and Thompson explain that they are Calculus’s bodyguards because they suspect a criminal organization specializing in the manufacture of fake art objects is planning to steal his machine. Finally, everyone goes to bed. In the middle of the night, Snowy wakes Tintin after hearing a noise outside, but Tintin mistakes it for birdsong. In fact, the noise is being made by Calculus’s housekeeper, Madame Flik, who is also in cahoots with “Big Shark.”
Back home, Calculus demonstrates his new invention to the children: a machine capable of copying any object from a special bar of soap. Unfortunately, the effects are short-lived, as the copied objects quickly transform back into their original substance. The villains attack Calculus and the detectives with laughing gas and take the children away. Tintin and Haddock chase after them but are unable to rescue Niko and Nushka. The criminals leave behind a message on a tape recorder from their leader, “King Shark,” who tells the heroes (in a voice that is beginning to sound familiar to Tintin) that they will get the children back in exchange for Calculus’s invention. Tintin himself will make the exchange and will not have to call the police.
Tintin, Haddock, Calculus, and the detectives search the house for insects, and Tintin discovers a secret passage that leads to Mrs. Black’s walkie-talkie hidden in the empty well, catching Mrs. Black in the process. Tintin decides to contact the police and comes up with a ruse to cover his tracks. Tintin and Snowy go to the local town and accidentally meet their old friend, opera singer Bianca Castafiore, who drops him off in her car all the way to the town and even helps him turn himself in to the police. The police chief listens to his story, but he is limited in what he can do because half of the lake is under the jurisdiction of Borduria, a rival nation, and there is therefore a risk of a diplomatic incident.
Two days pass before Tintin finally returns to Calculus’s house with the shark-shaped submarine he built during the search for Red Rackham’s Treasure. The plan calls for Tintin to meet the criminals on the beach and for Haddock to follow him in the submarine. At the meeting point, the criminals load Tintin into a submarine and head underwater to the flooded city where their base is located. The mastermind of this operation is revealed to be Rastapopoulos, Tintin’s arch-enemy, who now calls himself “Great Shark.” Rastapopoulos promises to free Niko and Nushka for the device, but, unaware of Tintin’s arrival, the children escape from their cell and hijack an underwater tank.
Rastapopoulos takes control of the tank with his computer, but then notices Captain Haddock’s submarine on his screen and uses the tank to launch torpedoes at Haddock, causing a fight between Tintin and the other gangsters who try to stop Rastapopoulos. Haddock’s mini-sub is hit, blocking its propulsion, and the tank is returned to base by remote control. While waiting for the children to return, Rastapopoulos takes Tintin to his office and shows him his art collection, rejoicing that with Calculus’s machine, they can make multiple copies of all the stolen masterpieces and sell them for huge sums of money.
Rastapopoulos tries Calculus’s machine by cloning a cigar box, but the imitation proves very unstable and grows to a monstrous size, nearly crushing Rastapopoulos and his lieutenant. Furious, Rastapopoulos locks Tintin and the children in a room, but learns that police boats are patrolling the lake. He then decides to evacuate the base and orders his men to take all the artwork he owns in the underwater city to the cave. He then floods the room where Tintin and the children are. As soon as the water reaches a device located above, the base will self-destruct.
Haddock manages to regain control of the disabled submarine and returns to the surface, meeting Thompson and the Syldavian police chief in a patrol boat. Below, with all his men having evacuated the base, Rastapopoulos and his lieutenant leave the base aboard the submarine. Tintin and the children manage to free themselves and escape through an airlock in life jackets, just before the base explodes. They then return to the surface and rejoin their friends and the police. The police have captured all of Rastapopoulos’s men, but the mastermind himself has already crossed the border aboard his submarine. Not being Syldavian officials and therefore not bound by international conventions, Tintin and Haddock insist on pursuing Rastapopoulos by motorboat.
To pass the border posts, Rastapopoulos attempts to navigate the submarine through an underwater tunnel, but forgets to lower the submarine’s periscope, which hits a low rock and breaks, causing the submarine to crash and flood. The criminals surface, but are captured by Tintin and Haddock as soon as they attempt to leave the wrecked ship. Eventually, the Thompsons, Calculus, Niko, Nushka, and Gustav greet Tintin, Snowy, and Haddock upon their return from their mission in the submarine. Finally, Rastapopoulos and his sailors are taken to Klow Prison by Syldavian police officials. Tintin, Snowy, and Haddock return to Calculus’s villa and are greeted by a large party of villagers celebrating the end of the gang’s terror, and by Bianca Castafiore, who scares Haddock away from the party. Haddock tries to take a quiet moment to drink some whiskey, but his bottle is destroyed by the Thompson twins, who are playing golf. The captain is initially upset, but laughs it off with everyone.
