Their killings bring James Bond to Jamaica to investigate. The Three Blind Mice attempt to eliminate Bond as he exits a taxi outside of his hotel but their attempt fails. Later on they pursue Bond's Sunbeam Alpine through the mountains, with the help of their Hearse Driver,while he is on his way to see Miss Taro. During the chase an adroit maneuver by Bond leads them to crash in flames after going off a mountainside.

  • Eric Coverly (1st Beggar)
  • Charles Edghill (2nd Beggar)
  • Henry Lopez (3rd Beggar)

Dr. No’s photographer

Dr. No’s photographer (named Freelance by James Bond) is an unnamed female photographer (Though in the novel,her name is Annabelle Chung) working for Doctor Julius No of SPECTRE in the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No.

The photographer, an attractive dark-haired woman of Central or South American descent, first appears in the film at Kingston airport where she attempts to take a photograph of James Bond as he arrives in Jamaica. Bond half-consciously shields his face with his hat and gets into the car of Mr. Jones also of SPECTRE.

She later reappears in the film, again sent by Dr. No to take another photograph of Bond as he is discussing plans with Felix Leiter and Quarrel at a Jamaican calypso restaurant. This time she is spotted by Bond who orders Quarrel to seize her. Bond asks her who she is working for and she replies that she was working for the Daily Gleaner, a local newspaper in Kingston. When Bond asks the head waiter to check it out, she is forced to change her story and confess that she was a freelance photographer. She then attempts to physically harm Quarrel by [...] his face with a broken flashbulb from her camera. Quarrel seems unaffected and threatens to break her arm. Bond then destroys her film and she is set free, never to be seen again, after stating that the men will be sorry for their actions.

Marguerite LeWars, who portrayed the photographer, was the reigning Miss Jamaica at the time of shooting in 1962.

Mr. Jones

Mr. Jones is a fictional character from the first James Bond film, Dr. No, released in 1962. He is the first Bond villain to officially encounter Bond in the entire film franchise.

In the film, James Bond, played by Sean Connery, travels to Jamaica to investigate interference with American space rockets which appears to be originating in the area. As Bond leaves Kingston Airport, Mr. Jones, dressed in a beige uniform and cap, coolly greets him and insists that he is a chauffeur from Government House who had been sent to meet him. Bond phones Government House (under the pretext of checking his reservation), but learns that no car has been sent - so Jones is an impostor.

Bond is then driven by Jones along a coastal road. He begins to drive quickly when they are being tailed (by Felix Leiter of the CIA). Bond orders Jones to take a road on the right, losing the pursuers, where the car comes to a stop, with Bond holding the imposter at gun-point. Bond asks Jones for whom he is working, and Jones tries to reach for a pistol in the glove compartment. Despite resistance, Bond is quick to overcome him and again demands an answer. Mr. Jones begs for a cigarette, which, unknown to Bond, has a cyanide pill as a filter. He breaks this pill from the cigarette with his teeth and dies within seconds, cursing Bond with his final words.

It is found later in the film that Jones was in fact an agent of the crime syndicate SPECTRE and was working for Doctor Julius No, who had ordered that Bond be followed and killed.

Professor R. J. Dent

Professor R. J. Dent is a fictional character in the James Bond film Dr. No, portrayed by Anthony Dawson.

Dent is a metallurgist with a private practice in Kingston; he also secretly works for Doctor Julius No. He is first seen playing cards with John Strangways and other officials. When investigating Strangways' death, Bond initially suspects Dent, when he finds the rocks Dent is studying are radioactive.

Dent becomes suspicious of Bond and reports to Dr. No, who orders that Bond be eliminated. Dent then puts a deadly spider in Bond's bed, but Bond escapes. When Bond meets with Miss Taro, Dent sneaks up to the house, but not before Miss Taro speaks about the plot.

Bond waits for Dent, putting pillows under his covers as a decoy. Dent empties his gun into the bed, leaving him defenceless when Bond executes him with a shot to the chest and a follow-up bullet in the back.

This scene was controversial because it showed the hero of the film [...] a man in cold blood, and even though Ian Fleming had conceived the character as one who is authorized to commit such actions, in none of his novels is Bond shown acting in this manner. According to James Bond: The Legacy, the filmmakers needed a scene to illustrate the "licensed to kill" concept and in fact had originally filmed the scene to show Bond firing several more bullets into Dent, but ultimately removed all but the first shot (some televised broadcasts such as those by the American ABC network delete the second bullet to the back. It is sometimes stated that an alternate version was shot with Dent firing first and Bond returning fire, but this is a myth.

Miss Taro

Miss Taro (Zena Marshall) is a villainess from Dr. No, the series' debut film. She is a Bond girl and a Henchwoman. She is a secretary in Government House. Kingston, Jamaica, to Colonial Secretary, Pleydell-Smith. She also is a henchwoman to Doctor Julius No; only Bond discovers this. He first meets her at Government House. When she grasps that Bond and Pleydell-Smith are talking about Dr. No, she spies through the keyhole of his office door. Bond then persuades her to a rendez-vous at her house outside of Kingston; he does not know she is a honey trap. Enroute to her house, Bond eludes Spectre pursuers and arrives at her house; she is surprised.

Miss Taro then copulates with Bond, making time for Professor Dent to go there and kill him. She is the first Bond Girl agent 007 seduces while on mission; the previous liaison was Sylvia Trench, who is unrelated to the mission. Bond then telephones for a "taxi" to collect them for dinner out. She boards the "taxi", then understands it is a police trap she walked into, not a taxi; she is arrested, Bond remains in her house, awaiting Professor Dent's attempt to kill him.
