Biography[]

After Sir James Bond is promoted to the head of MI6 following his predecessor's demise, he learns that many British agents around the world have been eliminated by enemy spies because of their inability to resist sex. He sets Moneypenny to the task of establishing a rigorous programme to train male agents to ignore the charms of women. Moneypenny recruits "Coop", a karate expert who begins training to resist seductive women including the Detainer. Shortly thereafter, Sir James orders that all remaining MI6 operatives (including Moneypenny) will be named "James Bond 007", to confuse Smersh, again including the Detainer.

The Detainer is captured by Jimmy Bond/Dr. Noah, and taken to his lair. She works her way into his affections and persuades him to release him. She finds out that he has a plan to replace all the heads of government with robots, and has a virus which will make all women beautiful and kill all men taller than him. She also sees that he has a convincing, if somewhat monotone, robotic double of her.

She manages to persuade him into taking a drink which contains a pill resembling an Aspirin, but which is in fact a minature nuclear bomb. After numerous minor explosions, i.e. hiccoughs, it will produce a big nuclear explosion.

At the end of the film Sir James and Moneypenny travel to Casino Royale to rescue Mata Bond. They discover that the casino is located atop a giant underground headquarters run by the evil Dr. Noah, secretly Sir James' nephew Jimmy Bond, a former MI6 agent who defected to Smersh to spite his famous uncle. Sir James, Moneypenny, Mata and Coop manage to escape from their cell and fight their way back to the Casino Director's office where Sir James establishes Vesper Lynd is a double agent. The casino is then overrun by secret agents and a battle ensues. American and French support arrive, but just add to the chaos. Eventually, the atomic pill which Jimmy was duped into swallowing explodes, destroying Casino Royale with everyone inside. Moneypenny and all of her allies then appear in Heaven, playing golden harps.

So despite her success as an agent, and as a honeytrap, she manages to kill most of the British secret service (including herself), much of SMERSH, and numerous agents of the French, American, Soviet, Chinese etc services, as well as assorted innocent casino goers.
