Though the marquees scream about a VOLCANO OF SMOLDERING PASSION!, the view inside is little more than a Playboy peep show, less glossy but just as sexless. Lust is a popeyed man ogling a barmaid's cleavage, virginity a lacquered ex-stripper trying to look like a wide-eyed schoolgirl caught up in the evil ways of the big city. Usually, there are only random glimpses of breasts and bottoms, although lately the nudies have been edging closer to the limits of pornography with a rash of "sadie-massies" that drag in homosexuality, flagellation, voyeurism, lesbianism and assorted orgies...
Detroit was a burned-out volcano, and although Milwaukee trembled, its authorities hammered down an iron lid that saved the city from massive hurt. Still, there was little peace in the nation's cities. From Providence, R.I., to Portland, Ore., communities large and small heard the sniper's staccato song, smelled the fire bomber's success, watched menacing crowds on the brink of becoming mindless mobs.

Conveniently, the assignment takes him only as far as Japan, which gives the camera crews a chance to show a travelogue of Bond orienting himself by watching sumo wrestlers, wandering the neon-bright streets of Tokyo, climbing the green slopes of a volcano as he tracks a supervillain to his lair...
Bond himself seems to be weakening: for the first time he needs outside help to finish the job. After finding the cache of stolen rockets in the defunct volcano, he is captured. As Blofeld prepares to annihilate him, hundreds of Japanese commandos-the Eastern equivalent of the U.S. cavalry-come to the rescue. At the finale, the volcano blows its stack. Alas, the effects are ineffective. The outer-space sequences would be more appropriate in a grade school educational short entitled Our Amazing Universe, and the volcanic climax is a series of clumsy process shots that no one took...
