Agent 009 dies bringing a fake Faberge egg across the Berlin Wall, alerting the Secret Service to a possible funding source for Russian agents in Britain. Four eggs have been sold in recent months. James Bond (Roger Moore) accompanies an art expert, Jim Fanning, to the auction to see if he can spot the seller. In Russia, the Praesidium is divided between General Gogol's dovelike approach to the talks with NATO and General Orlov's (Steven Berkoff) desire for conquest. Orlov is involved in an intricate scam with the Kremlin Art Repository, faking eggs. However, with the fake egg lost, and an inventory coming up, he needs the real egg back, and orders his agent in Britain to buy it back at the auction.

At Sotheby's, Bond switches the fake for the real egg, while forcing Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan), a rather shady character, to show his hand and buy the egg. Bond follows Khan to India to find out more about him. He plays backgammon against him, and cheats the cheat, showing Khan he has the real egg, as well as winning 200,000 rupees. Khan's henchman, Gobinda (Kabir Bedi), tries to get the egg back, but Bond evades him, and gets Q to place a homer inside it. Khan's assistant, Magda, tries to persuade Bond to hand the egg over, which he won't do, so she seduces him instead. In bed, he sees the tattoo of an octopus on her back - 'my little Octopussy' - a sign he has seen on the boat Khan arrived on. Magda takes the egg, while Bond is knocked out and taken to Khan's Monsoon Palace.

Khan's partner, Octopussy (Maud Adams), recognises Bond's name, and wants him brought to her. That evening, Khan, Gobinda and General Orlov meet. Bond hears part of their conversation involving Karlmarxstadht, and then manages to escape, despite being hunted by Khan. Identifying the tattoo as the sign of the Octopus cult, Bond visits Octopussy's island, where she wants him to team up with her. She is well disposed to him since Bond had allowed her father a honourable death some years earlier. She is involved in jewellery and gold smuggling, as well as running various other sidelines, including circuses. Khan is displeased that Octopussy won't let him kill Bond, and hires yo-yo wielding assassins to do so. Killing Bond's Indian contact, Vijay, along the way, the assassins try to carry out their task but fail. Bond falls in the water and is believed eaten by crocodiles.

Bond travels to Karlmarxstadht and masquerades as one of Octopussy's circus crew. Meanwhile, the fake jewellery is discovered in Moscow and General Gogol gets on Orlov's trail. Bond discovers that Orlov is switching a container with the real jewels, which Octopussy was going to smuggle across into West Germany; with an atomic bomb that has the signature of an American one. Orlov hopes this will force the US to disarm in Europe unilaterally, allowing the Russians to walk in. General Gogol catches up with Orlov as he desperately makes a bid for the West and is shot by the border guards. Despite being forced off the train, Bond manages finally to get to the circus at its new site in a US Base in West Germany, and defuses the bomb before it goes off. He and Octopussy return to India and settle their score with Khan, who knew of Orlov's scheme and had run out on her.
