Biography

As 007 returns from an African assignment aboard an Apollo Airways airliner, the air hostess and pilot conspire with Jaws to kill him by crashing the plane. After kissing Bond, the hostess produces a pistol and holds the spy at gunpoint. The pilot emerges from the cockpit and takes the gun from her, handing her a parachute that she puts on. After the pilot shoots out the aircraft’s controls, 007 kicks the weapon from his hand, and the two brawls until the assassin is knocked out of the plane – shortly followed by a parachute-less Bond. The hostess’ fate is unknown.
