"In Kingston, Jamaica, one evening, people along fashionable Richmond Street were..."

Storyline

In Jamaica, John Strangways is grabbed by three "blind" beggars. He was checking on "massive interference" with Cape Canaveral rocket launches. Bond goes to Jamaica and zeroes in on Crab Key. He survives fistfights, a tarantula in his bed, gunshots, and being run off the road. Finally, with the help of Honey Ryder and Quarrel, a fisherman, he reaches the island. A "dragon" tank captures them. Doctor No plans to scotch the next missile launch. Bond breaks out of his cell and stops No's radioactive strike as the doctor is electrocuted.
