After some persuasion, drug lord Franz Sanchez takes Bond and a group of oriental business partners to his base of operations, which is disguised as headquarters of a religious cult. Concealed under the institute was a helipad, room for several gasoline tankers and cocaine production laboratories. It is here that Sanchez's scientists dissolve cocaine in petrol and then sell it disguised as fuel to Asian drug dealers. The buying and selling are conducted via the televangelist Professor Joe Butcher, working under orders from Sanchez's business manager Truman-Lodge. After his cover is blown, 007 sets fire to the cocaine lab which quickly spreads and engulfs the entire facility.
