Biography
He is Sir James Bond's incompetent nephew Jimmy Bond, a failed spy who has lived his entire life in his uncle's shadow. At one point in the movie he jumps over a wall to avoid a firing squad just to land in front of another firing squad on the other side.
He leaves MI6 and devises a plan to destroy his uncle's reputation. He starts by changing his name to Dr. Noah and taking over as head of SMERSH. He eliminates several MI6 agents around the world by enlisting beautiful women to seduce and kill them. He sends Vesper Lynd to seduce and kill Bond, but Bond is able to resist her advances.
After killing Le Chiffre for embezzling SMERSH's money, Dr. Noah kidnaps Mata Bond (Bond's daughter and Noah's cousin) in a giant flying saucer, Bond and Moneypenny travel to Casino Royale to rescue her, but Dr. Noah's men capture them and bring them to his headquarters atop a giant volcano. Dr. Noah reveals that he plans to use biological warfare to make all women beautiful and kill all men over 4-foot-6-inch tall, leaving him as the "big man" who gets all the girls. He will then replace all world leaders with robot duplicates under SMERSH control.
Dr. Noah has also captured MI6 agent The Detainer, who he is in love with, and tries to convince her to be his partner. She agrees, but only to dupe him into swallowing one of his "atomic time pills", turning him into a "walking atomic bomb". Bond, Moneypenny, and the rest manage to escape from their cell and fight their way back to the Casino. The casino is then overrun by MI6 and SMERSH agents and a battle ensues. American and French support arrive, but just add to the chaos. Eventually, Dr. Noah's atomic pill explodes, destroying the Casino Royale with everyone inside. Bond and all of his agents then appear in heaven, while Dr. Noah is shown descending into hell.
