Tintin visits 1930's Chicago to write an expose on organised crime. Doing so, some very exaggerated and over the top gangsters take a disliking to the nosy reporter and assign an under-boss named 'Smiles' to 'take care of him'.
I remember watching this one when I was younger thinking that I wish all of the story took place in Chicago. I now understand that some sections of the story must have been cut because this was a one-part episode rather than the usual two-part episodes.
This isn't a bad episode, it's fun to see our characters in some real world history of 20th century America. This episode lacked any sort of mystery or intrigue, something that the best Tintin stories are full of. Which is why I can only give it a 5/10 If somebody wanted to watch a Tintin story, I definitely wouldn't recommend starting with this one
This was my first review of the Tintin series, and I hope to do more. Writing the review I felt like Tintin at the start of this episode... when he was writing and re-writing his headline!
Thank you for reading.
