It's a personal vendetta against Bond as our hero received bullets inscribed with his number, a gift from the enigmatic, three-nippled assassin. Bond tracks Scaramanga and his creepy cohort (Herve Villechaize from Fantasy Island) to their very Bond-esque hideout and does battle with the cigarette-packet, DIY pistol of his nemesis on his own soil.
All the fixtures are in place, and it was an age where you could enjoy a Bond film without being made to feel guilty because it was a bit silly, without all the fanboy critics and producers wanting to ground it so much.
