During a stopover in Miami, James Bond meets Auric Goldfinger and soon discovers that he is not just a multi-millionaire whose fortune is built on trading gold, but also a sophisticated and clever cheat.
Shortly after, Bond decides to follow him to Switzerland after the British Secret Service ask him to check on his connections with the KGB. Bond discovers that Goldfinger is planning an elaborate and daring robbery - to steal the bullion from the US Treasury in Fort Knox.
