Upon a Tractor, a TV special promoting the U.N., she jumps on the Bond-wagon with a chase across several mythical countries, disguising herself as a soldier with brown wig and handlebar mustache, leaping off a pier into the Tiber River-all to elude villains long enough to plead a cause before the U.N. The real James Bond would have had no use for any one of them. He liked his girls dependent.
