Synopsis
An agent of the British secret services was assassinated with the Jamaica, in company of its secretary. James Bond, agent 007, is in charge of the investigation. All indicates that the criminal is this mysterious Chinese called Doctor No which established his general headquarter in an island where it shelters, under the seal of the greatest secrecy, of research doubtless subversive. Indeed radioactive rocks coming from this island were found by a geologist amateur, but this one died before Bond cannot question it. James Bond thwarts the traps whose its enemy paved his way (mygale in its bed, race-continuation in the car,…) and manages to gain the island. It become acquainted there with a charming young woman, Honey, which it involves soon in its adventures. Unfortunately, his/her friend Quarell, a jamaïcain which rented its boat to him and which came with him, is killed by a species of armor-plated tank that the natives took for a dragon. He returns the weapons initially and he is locked up with Honey in a prison gilded before being thrown for good in a true cell of prison. Of course, he manages to escape, by the pipes of ventilation, delivers his partner, and explodes the island according to his manner, which will become usual: to press on all the red buttons of the control screen of the general headquarter. He manages to escape in company of Honey on a boat before being fished out by a boat.
