[edit] Story

In The Hidden Abbey, Spirou, Fantasio and their guest Itoh Kata are visited by Charles Atan and his henchman Renaldo, members of The Triangle, who abduct the Japanese magician. Following their trail, it leads to an old abbey located in an abandoned village. There, Spip also disappears. During this time, the kidnappers of Kata are unable to keep it captive very a long time in its cell, not more than Spip, which joined its Masters. When Spirou and Fantasio find it finally, it has just locked up all the men of the Triangle in a cell excluded their chief, Charles Atan, and his Renaldo assistant. Leaving to their research, they prevent accuracy the self-destruction of the abbey, and realize that Renaldo was hung by the wrist with the ceiling. Planting there, they find Charles Atan and capture it. But Renaldo, which was released, saves its Master and the two gangsters flee.
