The SPECTRE Number 1 puts ex- SMERSH operative and Number 3 Rosa Klebb in charge of the mission. SPECTRE's expert planner Kronsteen has devised a plot to steal a Lektor cryptographic device from the Soviets and sell it back to them while exacting revenge on Bond for killing their agent Dr. As the garden lights up, it is revealed that this 'Bond' is actually a man wearing a prosthetic mask - it was all a SPECTRE training exercise. Grant eventually gets the jump on him and garrotes him to death with a wire concealed in his watch. Late one night, British Agent James Bond 007 sneaks through a hedgemaze, stalked by Red Grant, a SPECTRE assassin.
