CASINO ROYALE . . . the greatest JAMES BOND! 007 show on earth!
Sir James Bond 007, is a legendary British spy retired from the secret service 50 years ago in 1917. He is visited by the head of British MI6, M, CIA junior cipher clerk Ransome, KGB labour camp inspector Smernov, and Deuxième Bureau vice detail Le Grand.
Bond then insults Ransome's cyanide-spitting carnation, the armoury concealed in Smernov's grotesque boots, the different deadly poisons in each of Le Grand's fly buttons, and M's flame-throwing fountain pens. In the gardens, M and the others then get to the point of the visit: various agents around the world have disappeared or died because of the ruthless organization SMERSH.
Bond abruptly leaves the discussion to play Debussy on his piano. As he plays, the men discuss Bond's retirement following his betrayal of the famed exotic dancer and courtesan Mata Hari, whom he lured to an untimely demise in front of a firing squad in France. When Bond returns and refuses their offer, M gives Bond a letter from Windsor Castle to change his mind.
