Goldfinger begins innocently enough with a murder, James Bond soon finds himself investigating Auric Goldfinger, a gold dealer who the Bank of England suspects is stockpiling huge amounts of gold bullion.

Goldfinger was an obsessive megalomaniac, his main lust was for gold and he would do anything to increase his stocks. Goldfinger is a classic case of a crazed criminal, he appeared to be quite friendly from a distance often laughing and smiling, however this was all selfish applause for himself. Goldfinger would even go to the extend of killing over 60,000 people just get more worth out of his gold. Goldfinger's plan was to use the deadly Delta-9 nerve gas to kill Fort Knox army personal and raid the gold stockpiles, setting a small atomic bomb supplied by Red China on timer, the explosion would render the gold radioactive for 58 years. This puzzled Bond at first as to why Goldfinger wouldn't want to steal the gold, then it was unravelled, by doing this the Western economy would be in crisis, Goldfinger's gold stocks would be worth a great amount more and Communist China would rejoice as they would not be effected by the downfall of the economy.
