Plot summary

After receiving a large inheritance, James Bond 007 is accused of improprieties and drummed out of MI6. Disgusted with his former employers, Bond places his services on the open market, where he attracts the attention of representatives of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. who are quite willing to put their one-time enemy on their payroll.

What S.P.E.C.T.R.E. leaders Tamil Rahini and Dr. Jay Autem Holy don't realize is that Bond's resignation is as phony as a $3 bill.
