Bond (glumio David Niven) živi u bogatstvu nakon umirovljenja iz MI6. Međutim, nakon tajanstvenih ubojstava agenata iz različitih zemalja, prinudni su ga vraćali u službu njegov bivši šef M (John Huston) i drugi međunarodni obavještajni dužnosnici. Bond saznaje da je jedna od meta istrage bogat kockar po imenu Le Chiffre (Orson Welles), koji je zapravo vrhunski operativac u sindikatu za zločine poznat pod nazivom SMERSH. Bond odluči zbuniti svoje neprijatelje upisujući brojne agente da usvoje ime James Bond. Koristi usluge agentice Vesper Lynd (Ursula Andress) da zavede Evelyn Tremble (Peter Sellers), najvećeg svjetskog igrača na bakcarat. Tremble pristaje predstavljati Jamesa Bonda i izazivati ​​Le Chiffrea u igri s visokim ulozima u glasovitom Casino Royaleu, što je paravan za SMERSH-ove operacije.Tremble pobjeđuje u igri, uslijed čega je Le Chiffre izgubio ogromnu količinu novca sindikalnog sindikata - greška koja rezultira smrću Le Chiffrea. Kad je Lynd oteta iz kockarnice, Tremble odlazi kako bi je spasio. Međutim, prekasno otkriva da je ona dvostruki agent, a ona ga ubija.

Meanwhile, the real Bond succeeds in confronting the secret head of SMERSH, Dr. Noah, who is actually his nephew Jimmy Bond (Woody Allen). Jimmy has devised a series of incredible schemes, including the elimination of all men taller than him and the development of a time-release atomic bomb concealed in a pill. A British agent (Daliah Lavi) surreptitiously slips one of the pills into Jimmy’s champagne, turning him into a walking atomic time bomb. Meanwhile, a wild battle ensues in Casino Royale, with MI6 and its allies (including U.S. agents dressed as cowboys and Indians) fighting the forces of SMERSH. No one emerges as a winner, however, because Jimmy’s bomb explodes, killing everyone in the casino.

The film is loosely based on Fleming’s Casino Royale, the only Bond book for which producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman did not hold the rights. Rather than try and compete with the popular Sean Connery movies, the filmmakers decided to shoot the novel as a spoof. However, the production quickly spiraled out of control with five directors working simultaneously but never in conjunction with each other. Eight writers (most uncredited) also worked on the screenplay, including Billy Wilder, Joseph Heller, and Ben Hecht. In addition, there were problems with the performers, most notably Sellers, who reportedly did not get along with Welles and refused to shoot scenes with him. Eventually, Sellers left the production. The resulting film is disjointed and nearly impossible to follow. However, with an all-star cast, an outstanding production design, and a soundtrack that included Burt Bacharach and Herb Alpert, Casino Royale was a box-office hit, and it later became a cult classic. A second big-screen adaptation of Casino Royale was released in 2006 to great acclaim; a dramatic version of Fleming’s novel, it starred Daniel Craig.
