James Bond (Roger Moore) is assigned with investigating international drug smuggling in conjunction with C.I.A. liaison Felix Leiter (David Hedison). Together they must find out the connection between American gangster and drug smuggler Mr. Big and the prime minister of a small Carribean country Karanga (both played by Yaphet Kotto). But the villains have an unusual asset in Solotaire (Jane Seymore), a woman with the ability to predict the future, and Tee Hee (Julius Harris), the tall enforcer with an articulated arm to replace the one he lost to an alligator.
