James Bond in America ( after
a saunter around Europe in his less-than-standard Aston Martin
DB5). Auric Goldfinger, who has a passion for gold, plans
to raid America's Fort Knox gold reserves by using a team
of women stunt fliers, led by hay-loving Pussy Galore, to
spray the area with poison gas before cutting into the facility
using an industrial laser which Bond has already seen at a
distance that was a bit too close for comfort. Once inside,
he plans to detonate a nuclear device to vaporise the gold,
thereby vastly increasing the value of his own holdings. |

007 infiltrates the group and discovers the
plan, leading a counterattack during the raid and, after a showdown with
the amazing Oddjob in the vault itself, manages to neutralise the device
with seconds to spare. Goldfinger meets his fitting end in a chilling manner
during his 'escape' when he is sucked out of the window of a jet plane after
the cabin depressurises. Which just leaves a somewhat contrite Pussy Galore
for Bond to deal with in his usual manner . . .
