The powerful tycoon Auric Goldfinger has initiated "Operation Grand Slam", a cataclysmic scheme to raid Fort Knox and obliterate the world economy. James Bond, armed with his specially equipped Aston Martin (its accessory package includes built-in machine guns, a smoke screen, and an ejector seat), must stop the plan by overcoming several outrageous adversaries. First there's Oddjob, the mute servant who kills at the toss of a lethal hat; next, the beautiful Jill Masterson, who gives new meaning to the phrase "golden girl"; and finally, pilot Pussy Galore whose romantic feelings for Bond complicate her involvement in Goldfinger's high-flying scheme.
