Plot

While attending prep school at Warfield Academy, James Bond Jr, with the help of his friends IQ (the grandson of Q), Gordo Leiter (the son of

was "Bond, James Bond... Junior." The show regularly surpasses the Bond movies in terms of fantastical gadgets, while the violence of the Bond series is nowhere in evidence. Jaws, a recurring villain from the films '' The Spy Who Loved Me'' and '' Moonraker'', made regular appearances, usually partnered with Nick Nack, a villain from '' The Man with the Golden Gun'', the two forming a bickering comical duo. Auric Goldfinger also appears, alongside his assistant, Oddjob, from the '' Goldfinger'' film. It is revealed Goldfinger has a teenage daughter named Goldie Finger with equally expensive tastes. The only other villain from the films to appear in the show, though one that is very loosely based on his film counterpart, is Dr. No, who is depicted as being Asian and having green skin, a common practice at the time in children's media whenever Asian villains are showcased such as Ming the Merciless in '' Defenders of the Earth'' and The Mandarin in the 1990s ''

Characters

The main characters consist of James Bond Jr., his friends, several featured members of the Warfield Academy staff, and Trevor Noseworthy IV. They appear in almost every episode of the series. Sometimes only two or three of Jr.'s friends will accompany him on an adventure, leaving the others behind at Warfield to create a B-plot. These plots normally revolve around Trevor's misguided attempts to get James into trouble.

Villains

There were numerous villains in the series, most of whom worked for S.C.U.M. and made recurring appearances throughout the 65-episode run. Many characters looked nothing like their movie counterparts. All recurring villains in the show are listed here: * S.C.U.M. – Short for Saboteurs and Criminals United in Mayhem, S.C.U.M. is the evil organization that is the main antagonist of the series. ** Scumlord (voiced by
Jeff Bennett Jeff Bennett (born October 2, 1962) is an American voice actor. He voiced the titular character of ''Johnny Bravo'', Dexter and Dee Dee's Dad in ''Dexter's Laboratory'', List of The Powerpuff Girls characters#Ace, Ace, List of The Powerpuff Gi ...

. He often relays commands to other S.C.U.M. villains via telescreen. Scumlord has a dog named Scuzzball. Key appearances include "The Beginning", "Location: Danger", "Avalanche Run", "Barbella's Big Attraction" and "The Thing in the Ice", although he made many cameo appearances. Scumlord is never seen outside of his surveillance room. He is always sitting in the dark wearing a trench coat, a fedora hat and sunglasses. ** Jaws (voiced by Jan Rabson) — A dim-witted villain whose trademark steel teeth destroy almost anything he chews. His clothing not only serves as a small source of comedy for the series but also complements his lack of intelligence. He usually acts as a henchman for higher-ranking S.C.U.M. agents and is often paired with Nick Nack. Unlike his movie counterpart, his lower jaw is also metallic, and he is able to talk clearly. In the novelization "A View to a Thrill", it is explained that he was shot in the mouth during a bank robbery and "to save his life, the doctors had given him a set of metal teeth, and motors for jaw muscles". Appearances include "The Beginning", "Plunder Down Under", "Valley of the Hungry Dunes", "Never Give a Villain a Fair Shake", "No Such Loch", "The Inhuman Race", "Fountain of Terror", "Ship of Terror", "Queen's Ransom", "Avalanche Run", "Barbella's Big Attraction", "Invaders from S.C.U.M.", "Ol' Man River", "Catching the Wave", "Between a Rock and a Hard Place", "Sherlock IQ", "Quantum Diamonds", "Rubies Aren't Forever", "The Thing in the Ice", "Monument to S.C.U.M." and "Northern Lights". ** Nick Nack (voiced by

) — A small henchman with a huge chin, Nick Nack is often the butt of "short jokes" from both James Bond Jr. and his villainous "other half", Jaws. Appearances include "Valley of the Hungry Dunes", "Cruise to Oblivion", "The Inhuman Race", "Queen's Ransom", "Avalanche Run", "Barbella's Big Attraction", "Invaders from S.C.U.M.", "Ol' Man River", "Catching the Wave", "Sherlock IQ", "The Thing in the Ice", "Goldie Finger at the End of the Rainbow", "Monument to S.C.U.M." and "Northern Lights". ** Dr. Derange (voiced by Julian Holloway) — This

According to the novelization "The Eiffel Target", he is Number 17 on Interpol's Most Wanted list and it was Dr. Derange who crafted his metallic dome after being seriously injured in a robbery. The dome also conducts static electricity. Whenever Skullcap scratches his head, it triggers little sparks. Appearances include "The Eiffel Missile", "The Inhuman Race", "It's All in the Timing", "The Last of the Tooboos", "The Emerald Key", "Weather or Not", "Canine Caper" and "Thor's Thunder". ** Auric Goldfinger (voiced by Jan Rabson) — One of 007's cleverest and most manipulative villains. Whenever there is gold, there is Goldfinger. His schemes are motivated entirely by greed, and he is most often assisted by henchman Odd Job. He was arguably the SCUM villain who was the least altered from his movie counterpart. Appearances include "Earth Cracker", "Cruise to Oblivion", "Goldie's Gold Scam" and "Killer Asteroid". *** Goldie Finger (voiced by

Appearances include "City of Gold," "Barbella's Big Attraction," "Going for the Gold", "A Deranged Mind" and "Goldie Finger at the End of the Rainbow". ** Dr. No (voiced by Julian Holloway) — One of 007's most fiendish opponents. The animated version differs a lot from the film '' Dr. No'', as he has green skin, likely as a result of his defeat at the hands of 007 in the original movie. His accent, costume and mustache have Asiatic themes and many of his schemes involve
