From the MAD article 8 "James Bomb" Bomb Movies.

Third of the James Bond series. At the beginning, Goldfinger (Gert Frobe)'s assistant Jill (Shirley Eaton) is helping him cheat at cards by watching his opponent from afar through a telescope and telling him the guy's hand through an earpiece. James (Sean Connery) comes in, takes Jill's microphone to interrupt, seduces Jill, and wakes up the next morning to find she has been suffocated by being painted gold. Bond meets Goldfinger later, and sees Golfinger's assistant Oddjob (Harold Sakata) can kill will his hat. Later, Goldfinger's men are chasing Bond and he gets rid of them with the gadgets in his Aston-Martin.
Part of Goldfinger's "Operation Grand Slam", the plan to steal all the gold in Fort Knox (see, he loves only gold), involves killing James Bond first, but spares his life when he thinks other agents are watching. Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman) works for Goldfinger and is a pilot that knows martial arts. Her part of the plan is to gas all the Fort Knox guards.
Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman were producers of the Bond films.

The next Bond film was Thunderball.
