The famous gangster Al Capone learns that the reporter Tintin is arriving in Chicago. He knows this man well—he was the one who foiled the mafia's plans to control diamond mining in the Congo! So now he wants to clean up his home city? The king of Chicago gangsters cannot allow that. His order: Tintin must not stay in the city for a single day! Tintin and Snowy get off the train and are kidnapped on their way to the hotel. They miraculously manage to escape, but they immediately get into a serious accident and end up in the hospital. A few days later, Tintin receives a final warning from Al Capone, demanding he leave the city by tomorrow. However, our hero is not used to giving up: he accepts the challenge and engages in an unequal battle against all of organized crime in America…
