James Bond Jr. chases S.C.U.M. around the world.
Now lemme get this straight. This kid is the nephew of James Bond and his name is James Bond Jr?
They can't use Smersh (SMERt' SHpionam) or Spectre (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) so he now fights Scum?
SCUM is of course Saboteurs and Criminals United in Mayhem.
IMDB States this:
Although not considered part of the continuity of the James Bond novels and films, nonetheless some characters from both franchises appeared on this series, such as Dr. No and Jaws.
This was a Danjaq product. A misguided one at that.
003½: The Adventures of James Bond Junior was a 1967 James Bond spinoff novel published by Glidrose Productions. The novel was written under the pseudonym R.D. Mascott; the real name of the author to this day has never been officially revealed by the current owners of the Ian Fleming Estate (i.e., Ian Fleming Publications a.k.a. Glidrose) or EON Productions (Danjaq), who owns the screen rights to the novel.
Although the novel is based on a character being the nephew of James Bond, Bond in fact was an only child, however, unbeknownst to agent 007 he does have a son as told in You Only Live Twice.
003½: The Adventures of James Bond Junior is considered a failed attempt at launching a youth-oriented line of fiction aimed 8 to 14 year olds. It did, however, spawn a moderately successful television series beginning in 1991 titled James Bond Jr. that was based on this novel and produced by EON Productions / Danjaq. The success of the show spawn numerous novelisations, a video game, and comic books. Unrelated to 003½, Ian Fleming Publications began publishing a successful youth-oriented line of Young Bond adventures featuring James Bond as a teenager in the 1930s.
Only one volume (hardback edition) of this spinoff was published and surviving copies are considered collectables.

James Bond, Jr... man, does that take me back. I remember very little about the cartoon series, but a number of sound bytes, including the theme, are still in my head to this day. This show came on more than a decade before I became such an avid James Bond fan. I wonder what I would have thought of it if it were airing today.
