The Adventures of Tintin: "Tintin and the Flight 714": The original comic book of Tintin by Herge, Series 22.

"Tintin and the Flight 714" (in French: Vol 714 Pour Sydney) is the twenty-second volume of The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. The title refers to a flight that Tintin and his friends fail to catch, as they become embroiled in a plot to kidnap an eccentric millionaire from a supersonic business jet on an Indonesian island. This album, first published in 1968, is unusual in the Tintin series for its science fiction and paranormal influences.

The adventure in classic comics book starts with Tintin, Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus on their way to Sydney for an international conference on space exploration. Their flight made a refueling stop in Jakarta Airport where they unexpectedly meet their old friend Piotr Skut, who is now the chief pilot for eccentric millionaire Laszlo Carreidas. A while earlier, the Captain had erroneously taken the somewhat disheveled Carreidas for a tramp and surreptitiously slipped him a five-dollar bill, which later is taken by the oblivious Professor Calculus, making the millionaire laugh for the first time in years. When introduced to Carreidas, the Captain inadvertently shakes the hand of the millionaire's secretary, Spalding.

Incapable of respectfully declining Carreidas's offer to ride in his prototype private jet, Tintin and the others join the tycoon to Sydney. Carreidas plays a game of Battleships with Haddock, beating him continually by way of cheating with a hidden camera and monitor. Unsuspectingly to Carreidas and the others, Spalding and two of the pilots, Hans Boehm and Paolo Colombani, have been hired to skyjack the plane and convey it to a deserted volcanic Sondonesian island called Pulau-Pulau Bompa. Skut is not involved in this plot; and consequently he becomes a hostage as well. After an irregular landing, tha captives are ushered out of the plane, and a terrified Snowy leaps out of Tintin's arms and runs away. Armed guards fire at him, and a horrified Tintin believes him to be dead. In another shock to Tintin, the mastermind of the plot is then revealed to be Rastapopoulos, intent on taking Carreidas' fortune. Captain Haddock's corrupt ex-First-Mate, Allan Thompson, is present as one of Rastapopoulos's henchman.
