    WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Connery is Agent 007, and his mission is to stop the evil tycoon Auric Goldfinger (Frobe) from executing an ingenious plot to take over the gold depository at Fort Knox and obliterate the world economy. Armed with his specially equipped Aston Martin (an accessory package which includes built-in machine guns, a smoke screen and an ejector seat), Bond battles it out with some pretty outrageous adversaries.
