Season 1, Episode 9 - "The Blue Lotus (2)"
13 December, 1992
There is an amazing epidemic of wallet-snatchings around a town in Belgium. Thomson and Thompson - who, during the course of the story, eventually lose their wallets by the dozens to the thief - look for the culprit at the Old Street Market where they meet Tintin. Tintin buys a boat model of an old ship for Captain Haddock, but, as he does, two men try to haggle it off him. Tintin discovers that this little model ship holds a secret note and he must discover out what it means and where it could lead before trouble reaches him.
