On his way to an Austrian specialist clinic, James Bond receives a warning that someone has placed a high bounty on his head. This marks the beginning of an adventure that not only leads him into the arms of "La Principessa," the wealthy and beautiful Sukie Tempesta, but also repeatedly puts him in situations where he narrowly escapes death. When his housekeeper May and Miss Moneypenny also go missing, 007 no longer knows whom he can trust.
