Plot summary
Mail pours into Marlinspike Hall after Professor Calculus broadcasts an appeal on world hunger. One parcel holds a blue orange from Professor Zalamea and no letter of explanation; the fruit grows in desert soil and glows in the dark. That night two thieves break in and take it. With no other lead, Calculus, Tintin, Captain Haddock and Snowy set out for Valencia. Zalamea is not at his hacienda, and his cousin receives them instead. Calculus is then kidnapped to help improve the blue oranges, which ripen in five days under neutron bombardment but taste bitter and salty. Tintin makes friends with a local boy, Pablito, and hears of a man whose hand bears a blue dragon tattoo.
