Smelling a rat, Tintin at first refuses to become part of this new adventure, in which his friends Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus join General Alcazar and his small band of guerrillas, the Picaros, in the jungle of San Theodoros.
The last completed Hergé adventure, several of the characters have undergone notable changes: Tintin no longer enjoys adventuring and has abandoned his trademark plus fours, wearing flared trousers instead. Captain Haddock can no longer drink alcohol and General Alcazar's masculinity is ridiculed by his new domineering wife.
