Biography[]
Zora and Vida are in love in the same man, the chief's son.
First they are brought to James Bond and his Turkish ally Ali Kerim Bey, who participate in the meal on the table with Vavra during the party in honor of the Bey. Vavra questions why they do not want to decide the chosen otherwise, but the two begin to wrestle in the camp ground with punches, kicks and falls; while fighting, the camp is invaded by Krilencu, a assassin working for SMERSH and his henchmen, who intends to kill Kerim Bey. During the battle, that follows, Bond saves Vavra's life, and when it ends with the expulsion of the invaders, 007 asks him to prevent the fight between the two from continuing. As a favor to Bond, Vavra then delivers the decision to him and sends them both to spend the night together with the spy and sleep with him. The next day, the two appear before Bond tending their wounds and repairing their clothes torn in the struggle. When he is gone, they say goodbye together and do not know Bond's decision.
