Biography
Daughter of Sheikh Yabootie of Al-Khaline, Princess Yasmine lived a life of luxury; waited upon by her servant, Fatima. Less culturally traditionalist than her father, she wore Western attire outside their country and took a secret interest in her father's operations. Prior to the episode's events, the Sheikh discovered a vast underground reservoir of water; which the criminal organisation, S.C.U.M., wanted to acquire and sell back to the desert region at extortionate prices. The Sheikh's refusal led to an attempt being made on Yasmine's life - an unknown assailant sabotaging the roller-coaster she was riding. After she is rescued by James Bond Jr., the grateful Sheikh invited him and his friends to the royal yacht. While there, he is the subject of a second failed assassination attempt involving a laser-guided torpedo.
With Yabootie's influence, Bond and his companions get permission to accompany the family to Al-Khaline, where they inspect the Sheikh's irrigation project. Bond's intervention leads to S.C.U.M. losing control of their water-stealing operation and forces Dr. No to send Jaws and Nick Nack to raid the Sheikh's palace for a crucial piece of software. The villains were assisted by the discontent Fatima; who subsequently took the Princess hostage as a bargaining chip. Dr. No held the Princess and the Sheikh's water to ransom; threatening to pump it into the sea if his demands were not met. Bond subsequently freed himself and Yasmine from captivity, and they sabotaged Dr. No's operation by flooding the facility. Surprised at his daughter's aptitude, Sheikh Yabootie thanks the students and muses that perhaps it is time for cultural change in Al-Khaline.
