Octopussy - James Bond Wiki

Octopussy Trailer


Synopsis:
  • A man in a clown suit -- 009 in disguise -- had gatecrashed an embassy party and died, a knife in his back... Clutched in his hand was a Faberge egg. MI6 discovered that this priceless jewel was a clever fake, and that another was to be sold at auction. Bond pursues Prince Kamal Khan, the buyer of the egg, to India, and not only uncovered a high-class smuggling racket, but also a plan to start WWIII involving a fanatical Russian general who intends to set off a nuclear weapon in West Germany and blame it on the US. Help came from a beguiling source: the mysterious Octopussy and her traveling circus.
