On Her Majesty's Secret Service

James Bond returns yet again to hunt down the elusive and powerful Ernst Stavro Blofeld, leader of the evil SPECTRE organization. The chase leads him all the way to Piz Gloria, where it seems Blofeld may be hiding under a different title. Along the way, Bond encounters an ally in Marc-Ange Draco, a beautiful collection of twelve “angels”, and a mysterious woman named Tracy...

James Bond: This never happened to the other fella.

In Portugal, James Bond prevents the suicide of a young woman. Later he meets her again in the casino. The woman, called Tracy, has lost a bet apparently beyond her means to pay. James Bond gentlemanly pays her casino debts. Tracy thanks Bond with a hot night of lovemaking.

The next morning Tracy has left, and two armed men are waiting for 007; they transport him to Marc-Ange Draco, chief of an Italian syndicate called ‘Union Corse’. Tracy’s true name is Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo. And she is Draco’s daughter, who thanks Bond for saving her. Draco offers Bond information about his arch-enemy Blofeld, but in return Bond must promise to marry Tracy.

Tracy: Why do you persist in rescuing me, Mr. Bond?
James Bond: It’s becoming quite a habit, isn’t it, Contessa Teresa?
Tracy: Teresa was a Saint, people call me Tracy.

Draco, Bond, and Tracy meet again in Portugal where Bond desides that he is willing to take the offer. It comes that Bond and Tracy truly fall in love; they spend some romantic days together. But Bond has a job to do. He must to track down Ersnt Stavro Blofeld.

In Bern, Bond steals an important clue from a law firm; as a result M sends 007, disguised as genealogist, to Blofeld’s mountaintop headquarters in the Swiss alps, Piz Gloria. Bond meets Irma Bunt, Blofeld’s hench woman. On Piz Gloria, Blofeld has opened a research center for allergies. Many young women from all over the world are examined.

Tracy: You’re hurting me.
James Bond: I thought that was the idea for tonight.

These girls become 007’s fate: One evening Irma Bunt is waiting for him when he returns from a trip to a girls’ room. Bond’s cover is blown and the triumphant Blofeld reveals his plans to blackmail the world.

But Bond makes a daring escape down the mountainside and meets Tracy in a Swiss village called Mürren, where they spend a night together and Bond proposes marriage to Tracy. The day after, Blofeld kidnaps Bond’s fiancé and takes her to Piz Gloria.

Blofeld: ...I mean what I say...and I’ll do what I claim.

Bond, Draco and Draco’s men stage an attack the alp fort and free Tracy. Bond is sure that he has killed Blofeld during an action loaded chase. Now he may marry Tracy marry.
