Features: An international drug trafficking group primarily active in the Middle East is discovered by Tintin and. They smuggle opium in crab cans and use a red-clawed crab as their symbol. Tintin is kidnapped by the gangsters to the sea and, during his escape, meets the brave Captain Haddock, who becomes his lifelong close friend. While chasing the gangsters, they travel from the scorching Sahara Desert to the Moroccan port. There, they work together to dismantle this drug trafficking group. In this volume, one of the most memorable scenes is when Dupont Dupond encounters a mirage in the desert, which is amusingly humorous.
