Nothing To Play With[]

In Hong Kong, Captain Walker D. Plank and his unnamed co-conspirator have commandeered a toy factory owned by a Mr. Ling and begin producing an army of lethal remote-controlled toys. The unwilling factory owner, who fears for the safety of his young daughter May, smuggles out an SOS message in a teddy bear which is subsequently won by James Bond Jr. at a fair. Discovering and reading the note, Bond travels to Hong Kong; finding the girl and foiling a live-test of one of the villains' deadly Captain Plank action figures. Bond infiltrates their factory as ‘James Boothroyd’ of the fictitious Boothroyd Toys company; bringing along I.Q. to demonstrate a hot new toy design (in reality I.Q.’s experimental infrared remote access glove). After their cover is blown, the unnamed villain has his firearm shot from his hand (unintentionally) by I.Q.'s faulty glove. The heroes attempt to escape with Mr. Ling, but are cornered by Plank action figures called by the baby-faced villain.

The villains bind James, I.Q. and Mr. Ling with rope and leave them on a toy train track. Hurtling towards them is a model train loaded with a bottle of nitroglycerin. To ensure their demise, the thug removes Bond's wristwatch and rips off the transformer knob. However, he forgets about the gadget glove which later allows them to escape. Plank and the thug watch the resulting explosion (assuming Bond to have died) and drive off in their radio-control van, planning to rob numerous locations using their toy army - starting with the Bank of Hong Kong and its 20 million dollars in deposits. From a computer in the back of the vehicle, Planks' accomplice activates a shipment of transforming action figures in a nearby shop; which combine together to form a ten-foot tall robot. After Bond intervenes with a fork-lift, the thug commands the machine to pick up Mr. Ling's daughter. Bond disrupts the robot by throwing I.Q.'s glove into its mouth and grabs the girl as she falls from its grasp. Now out-of-control, the robot throws the control van around before collapsing on top of it and exploding. The thug and Plank crawl from the ruined vehicle and escape.
