Synopsis:
The
plot starts off with Bond being told by a new, unsympathetic
"M", that he needs to shape up and he is sent to a
health farm. As expected, he becomes chummy with the female
staff but in the meantime also manages to get a whiff of
suspicious activities surrounding one of the patients,
Captain Jack Petachi and his "nurse" Fatima Blush.
Fatima of course actually works for rich European
industrialist Largo, and Largo is none other than "No.
1" in the terrorist organisation SPECTRE headed up by
Ernst Stavro Blofeld. It turns out that Captain Petachi is a
crucial element in a plot to "kidnap" two nuclear
missile warheads in order to extort world leaders into
coughing up lots of money to fund SPECTRE's operations. |
