Story

Drie Britse geheim agenten worden op een mysterieuze manier vermoord. James Bond wordt op de zaak gezet. Hij komt terecht in de duistere wereld van de voodoo-tovenaars. Achter de schermen van deze occulte mystiek houdt zich een geweldadige drugs-organisatie schuil. Samen met de bloedmooie, helderziende Solitaire komt James Bond op het spoor van de misdadigers. Het leven van James Bond hangt hier meermaals aan een zijden draadje. Een bloedstollende achtervolging met speedboten en een dubbeldekker bus vormen hier enkele van de vele actie scènes.
