Toronto is where Baron Goldfinger stores his terrorism-financing 'blood-diamonds' in a bank safe-box. It's also where a wily infiltration-pirate named Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow) is plotting a heist of Goldfinger's evil terrorism-gems as well as the kidnapping of his beautiful 'shopgirl' daughter Esmerelda.

Satan/Storm-Shadow takes the Toronto Metro to the Canadian bank where Goldfinger's storing his safe-box blood-diamonds, costumed as a mock-terrorist and maudlin named 'Thespian' and wielding a toy water-rifle filled with corrosive acid.

Now, Satan's no fool. He studied at Dartmouth/CalTech before becoming an underground infiltration-agent with Interpol-agent, and now he's Storm-Shadow. Satan wants to appreciate why Goldfinger's a continental bad-guy, but he's a real nerd...after the baron's daughter Esmerelda. Can he do it?

GOLDFINGER: No dirty rascal may lay their fingertips on my terrorism gems in North America.

Esmerelda is a gorgeous 'shopgirl' who likes vacationing in soCal and swimming in the Pacific. She's a real modern beauty, but she needs serious rescuing from Goldfinger's dominion. Can Satan (Storm-Shadow) do it?

Satan walks into the Canadian bank as the mock-terrorist/maudlin 'Thespian' with his 'acid-rifle' and explains Goldfinger's daughter's coming into the bank that afternoon for a media-event and requires access to Goldfinger's safe-box for photos before Esmerelda's arrival. He presents the pensive bank manager a photo of Esmerelda with her (forged) signature on it and even explains he should be escorted to the safe-box area with Goldfinger's gems by a guardsman. The manager agrees to this theatrical media stunt.

Once inside the safe-box area, Storm-Shadow/Satan ('Thespian') reveals to the single escorting guardsman that his toy water-rifle for this media-theater event is actually filled with acid and he intends to burn a hole into Goldfinger's safe-box and switch his blood-diamonds with fakes hidden in the soles of his shoes. He further explains Goldfinger's daughter Esmerelda's in on this entire media-heist 'program' designed to create a magazine article about Goldfinger street-rumors about terrorism-financing which may put his daughter Esmerelda into serious doubts. The guardsman then realizes/thinks this 'actual' media-theater is some kind of magazine-initiative orchestrated by Goldfinger to clear his daughter's prestige/reputation and laughs, realizing/thinking that the baron himself has financed this funny heist-operation orchestrated by this costumed-freak performer Satan/Thespian.

Satan/Thespian performs the gem-switch after burning the lock-latch of the safe-box with his acid-gun and leaving the Goldfinger-key attached. When Esmerelda arrives actually at the bank as scheduled that day for her account deposit (a tidbit of info Satan discovered from Esmerelda's limo-driver Louie!), Satan/Thespian kidnaps her at acid-gunpoint and takes her away on the Toronto metro, whispering in her ear, "This is all a pre-planned event, so just be cool, sweetheart" as the very-same guardsman who escorted Storm-Shadow ('Thespian') inside the safe-box room is laughing and dancing!
