She founds her own team of female acrobats – Pussy Galore’s Trapeze Flyers – and retrains them as cat burglars when the business fails. Her troupe develop into a gang by the name of The Cement Mixers, known for their outstanding ruthlessness, based in Harlem, New York City. Galore and her group are enlisted by SMERSH treasurer Auric Goldfinger for ‘Operation Grand Slam’, as part of a plan to rob gold bullion from the depository at Fort Knox.
