Captain Haddock (Georges Wilson) learns that an old shipmate, Paparanic, has died and left him a ship, the Golden Fleece. Tintin (Jean-Pierre Talbot), Snowy and the Captain travel to Istanbul only to find that it is an old cargo ship in a very dilapidated state. On board the boat, they meet the ship's cook Clodion and Paparanic's pet parrot Romulus. While outside the ship, a businessman named Anton Karabine (Demetrios Myrat) claims to be an old friend of Paparanic and offers to buy the boat for "sentimental" reasons, but the huge amounts that he offers makes Tintin suspicious and on his advice Haddock turns the offer down.
During their stay in Istanbul, a stranger named Malik offers to take Tintin and Haddock on a guided tour during which there are two attempts on their lives. This makes them all the more determined to find out what is going on. One of the clauses of Paparanic's will was that Haddock, on accepting the ship, should also fulfill his current obligations. The next day Haddock hires 3 crewmen - Angorapoulos, Attila and Yefima. They set off for Athens to deliver some carpets, found in the hold. During the journey Tintin catches Angorapoulos (Marcel Bozzuffi) searching through Paparanic's papers. After a short round of judo, he is subdued and locked in the hold but escapes.
In Athens, Tintin and Haddock go to the carpet seller Midas Papos (DarĂo Moreno), who turns out to be another of Paparanic's old shipmates. He is grief-stricken to learn of his friend's death and is about to make a comment about him when he is shot by a man from the window and the gun tossed into the room. Caught holding the gun, Tintin and Haddock are arrested but released thanks to the influence of their friends Thomson and Thompson and Papos, who has recovered in hospital.
An old newspaper article shows that, in their youth, Paparanic, Papos and Karabine were adventurers who were involved in a coup in the Latin American republic of Tetaragua. The article includes a photo of the three, plus two strangers, who formed a short-lived government.
Tintin later spots Angorapoulos in a barber's shop and follows him to the local offices of Karexport, which Tintin knows is run by Karabine. When Angorapoulos leaves by car Tintin, Snowy and Haddock follow him to a village out in the countryside where Angorapoulous and some accomplices kidnap a musician at a wedding. While Tintin and the Captain chase them on a motorbike, the crooks’ car is forced off the road, when it almost collides with a coach and the villains flee on foot. The kidnap victim, Scoubidouvitch (Dimos Starenios), was the fourth man in the photo. He suffers from "memory loss", but reveals that a large amount of gold is involved and suggests that Tintin and Haddock consult a Father Alexandre (Charles Vanel) who lives in a mountain-top monastery.
Father Alexandre, the fifth man in the photo, is himself a former adventurer who has repented and now spends his days in prayer and meditation. He reveals that when forced out of government in Tetaragua, he and his four comrades took a large quantity of gold from the central bank. Paparanic took the lion's share of the loot while the rest was spread among the others. It's now clear that Karabine wants Paparanic's gold. Before Tintin and Haddock leave, Father Alexandre, abstaining from alcohol, gives them a bottle of red wine which Paparanic gave him while visiting him last Christmas, and told him to drink after his death. On the way down from the mountain, Haddock accidentally breaks the bottle, the label of which turns out to be that of a map, obviously showing the location of Paparanic's gold.
Tintin and Haddock return to the Golden Fleece, where they discover that they have been joined by their friend Professor Cuthbert Calculus. Secretly, Yefima drains the oil out of the engines in order to prevent the ship from leaving port but Tintin discovers him, and after Tintin throws him overboard he swims away, but fourtunately Calculus has invented a special tablet called "Super-Cuthbertoleum" which, mixed with the remaining fuel, is more than enough to get the boat started and enables them to reach their destination, the island of Thassika.
The map includes an X just off the island's coast and, using his pendulum, Calculus locates the gold's location. Swimming underwater, Tintin discovers a chest filled with strange dark bars but which he guesses is the gold which has been painted over. No sooner have the members of the Golden Fleece got the chest out of the water that they are held at gunpoint by Karabine, Angorapoulos, Yefima and their men who got discreetly aboard. Haddock gets caught up in a fishing net, Snowy gets tied up and Tintin is shot at and falls back into the water while his friends are locked into a cabin, and a fuse is set to blow the ship up with dynamite with Haddock, Calculus, Snowy, Romulus and Clodion on board.
Karabine and his men take the chest back to their helicopter only to come under attack by the police, including Thomson and Thompson, led by Attila who is revealed to be an undercover police officer. Karabine gets aboard the helicopter which suddenly takes off. It turns out that Tintin has replaced the pilot! Karabine tries to force him to land, but Tintin disarms him. Beaten, the crook announces that no-one will get the gold, opens a hatch and lets the chest fall into the ocean.
While the events on the helicopter were happening, Tintin's dog Snowy manages to put out the fuse that was about to blow up the ship by rolling on it. However, the chest is now in a deep part of the sea and beyond recovery. On the other hand, using his pendulum, Calculus insists that the gold is still right above them. Cutting away at the paint on the ship's railings Tintin realizes that they are in fact the camouflaged gold. The chest contained the real railings, and was just a red herring.
Haddock finally returns the gold to Tetaragua. The main square in the capital is renamed Paparanic Square, and Haddock receives Tetaragua's highest decoration, the Order of the Scarlet Cheetah. Back home at Marlinspike Hall, Haddock hires Clodion as his cook, and Calculus keeps Romulus as a pet and a test subject for his inventions of a flying birdcage. The film ends with Tintin, Snowy, Haddock, Calculus, Nestor, Clodion, Romulus and the postman from the beginning of the film, being treated to a visit by the local band to help them celebrate and Romulus in Calculus's new invention, a flying birdcage.
