Tintin and the captain go to Peru in South America to look for Professor Calculus, who has been kidnapped beacause he put on the Inca Rascar Capac's bracelet. After an eventful trip involving Tintin nearly being thrown off the side of a cliff from a runaway railway coach, they end up meeting a small Indian boy who helps them find the entrance to the Temple of the Sun.
