Latin America
We join the mission as 007 infiltrates a high-security Oil Refinery in an unknown Latin American state. Bond slinks his way into the base in a particularly fishy disguise and with adept skill he locates a hidden room in the base of an oil tank, plants his explosives, and is in the local bar before the fireworks begin. After the ground-trembling explosion Bond retires to the quarters of a cabaret dancer.

Miami Beach, USA
With the South American mission a success, Bond is sent to the palm beaches of Miami by M, under the pretence of rest and recuperation. At the Fontainebleau Hotel, Bond rendezvous with Felix Leiter of the CIA who briefs him on Goldfinger - a Swiss-German who cheats at cards. Bond intercepts his poolside gambling operation before bedding down with Goldfinger's chaperone - Jill Masterson. She ultimately meets her golden demise in 007's suite of the lavish Miami hotel.

London & Essex, UK
Bond returns to London to be briefed by M and his contact at the Bank of England, Colonel Smithers, about the full nature of the shady Goldfinger and his aurum smuggling operation. Bond is tasked with unraveling the details of the operation and arranges to meet Mr. Goldfinger on his favourite links course. Bond and Goldfinger tee off at the Royale St. George's with the villain suspicious of Bond's slick ploys. On the field 007 must pit wit and skill against the crafty and dishonest Goldfinger. Bond comes out on top - beating the repulsive man at his own game.

Geneva, Switzerland
Bond tracks the gold-obsessed villain by private charter to his factory in Geneva. Here in Andermattm Bond meets Tilly Masterson, the bereaved sister of Jill. Tilly is out for revenge and there is little Bond can do to stop the damsel steaming into Goldfinger's heavily armed headquarters. The gigantic factory in the highlands proves to be one of the key locations in Goldfinger's smuggling ring and Bond charges in on Tilly's coat tails. In the end the DB5 crashes and Bond is captured. Tilly was not so lucky.

Maryland/Kentucky, USA
Bond wakes from a drug-induced sleep to find himself onboard Goldfinger's private jet bound for Baltimore. At a local airstrip Bond and Pussy Galore are escorted to Goldfinger's stud farm by the silent but brutal Oddjob. Felix is keeping tabs on 007 but mistakes his capture for a show of hospitality on Goldfinger's part. Bond, who normally is kept in a secure cell in the basement, gives his guard the slip and spies on Goldfinger's dramatic unveiling of the master plan. Bond is recaptured promptly but proves to be useful to Goldfinger somewhat longer.

Fort Knox, USA
When Bond finally gets a message to the CIA, the Americans spring a plan to capture Goldfinger in his raid of the gold repository at Fort Knox. A daring battle ensues between the US military and Goldfinger's army of Korean servants. In the confusion the villain attempts an escape, leaving 007 hand-cuffed to a ticking bomb and Oddjob minding him. The pair engage in an unwieldy man-on-man fight whilst the gun battle rages on outside the vault. Bond frees himself and dispatches with the henchman.

Washington DC, USA (airspace)
With the mission mostly a success but the villain's whereabouts still uncounted for, Bond boards a flight in order to be commended by the President himself. However, Goldfinger hijacks the plane in a last ditch effort to see the death of 007. The gold-infatuated mammonist fires a parting shot, of sorts. Goldfinger's bullet smashes the window and in a furious depressurizing of the cabin the villain is blown into the sky.
