James Bond (George Lazenby) smuggles himself into the Swiss clinic of Ernst Blofeld (Telly Savalas). Sitting down to a steak dinner, Bond finds the dining-room packed with young women who have come to the clinic to be cured of dietary allergies through hypnosis. But Bond soon deduces that Blofeld’s mind control has a far more sinister goal.
