Bond (Connery) was involved in preventing the takeover of the world diamond market by villainous Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Charles Grey) who was stockpiling gems, intent on selling them to the highest bidder to attain nuclear supremacy. Tiffany Case was a devious, sly, redheaded (although she often changed hair color) voluptuous American diamond smuggler (working as a fence for the 'Spangled Mob' - an American cartel smuggling diamonds out of Africa), who first met Bond in Amsterdam and then eventually assisted him. When she appeared in a satiny bra and brunette wig at the doorway, Bond asked: "Weren't you a blonde when I came in?" She replied: "Could be." He further added: "I tend to notice little things like that, whether a girl's a blonde or a brunette." She asked provocatively: "And which do you prefer?" She was most memorable wearing a purple bikini (into the back of which Bond had earlier stuffed a cassette tape control mechanism) and running around with a machine gun (that propelled her off the deck) during the final battle on the burning Baja oil rig.
