While working at this job, Bond discovers that Goldfinger is plotting to rob the at, in an action 'Operation Grand Slam'.Goldfinger plans to contaminate the water supply at Fort Knox using the GB (also known as ), killing everyone at the base. Then, using an designed for an that he had purchased for 1 million in Germany, Goldfinger would blow open Fort Knox's impregnable vault, before removing roughly $15 billion in gold bullion by truck and train with the help of American criminal organizations, including the Mafia; (an organization that existed in real life); (a fictional gang featured in the earlier Bond novel ); and the Cement Mixers, an all-female gang led by lesbian and former artist.

Goldfinger bribes the syndicate leaders with $15,000 in gold apiece to secure their attendance at the meeting and promises that each group will receive at least $1 billion, while he will keep $5 billion.

The issue of getting every soldier on the base to drink the poisoned water without an alarm was also raised. A final problem was the 'clean' atomic bomb, tactical or not, which in all likelihood would have annihilated the vault instead of breaking it open.
