Summary

The story opens when Agent 009 agent dies with a fake Faberge egg. To find out the truth, MI6 sends Bond (Roger Moore) to investigate whether Russia is involved, as the real egg is part of the Russian National treasure. He follows an Afghan prince, Kamal Khan (Louis Jordan) to determine who is behind the smuggling of Soviet treasure to the west. He encounters and romances Octopussy (Maud Adams) who is the leader of a band of women identified by a special tatoo of an octopus. Bond finds out that a renegade Soviet General is behind the smuggling and tries to stop both Kamal and the General with the help of Octopussy. Octopussy who at first was working with Kamal is betrayed and is given a nuclear bomb instead of the usual canister of jewels. It is set to go off during the circus show at an US Air Force Base, to create an incident that General Orlov can take advantage of. Again Bond saves the day, gets the girl and gets the bad guys with surprising help from (catch the movie to find out who).
