Bond uncovers a tale of greed, betrayal, and revenge revolving around a valuable cache of Nazi gold hidden during World War II. In "The Living Daylights," Bond is assigned to carry out an assassination mission in Berlin during the Cold War. His target is a Soviet sniper, codenamed "Trigger," who is planning to defect to the West. However, as Bond observes Trigger, he begins to question his orders and considers the morality of his profession. Both stories showcase Bond's cunning, bravery, and resourcefulness as he navigates dangerous situations and outwits his adversaries.
