AThe movie begins with Bond visiting the London grave of his wife, Teresa "Tracy" Bond (Diana Rigg), who was killed by Ernst Stavro Blofeld in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). The Ministry of Defence then sends Bond to Madrid, Spain where he is ordered to track down a Cuban hitman, Hector Gonzales, and find out who hired him to kill Melina Havelock's parents. Unfortunately, Melina kills Gonzales before Bond can question him, so Bond returns to London where Q, using an identigraph, is able to identify Emil Leopold Locque (Michael Gothard), the man that Bond saw paying off Gonzales just before he was killed. Locque, an enforcer in the Brussels underground, has been reported in Cortina d'Ampezzo, a resort town in the Alps of northern Italy, so Bond goes to Italy. He doesn't find Locque, but agent Luigi Ferraro (John Moreno) introduces Bond to his informant Aris Kristatos. Kristatos informs Bond that Locque is employed by Milos Columbo, a Greek smuggler, so Bond travels to Corfu, a Greek island just off the coast of Albania, where he joins Melina and goes to see Columbo.
ANo name is given to the character nor is his face shown, but the long-haired, white, Persian cat with the diamond collar is a dead giveaway. Yes, the bald villian in the wheelchair (John Hollis) is supposed to be Bond's old nemesis, Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
