The Magic School Bus + Rides Again Wiki

Laura Smythe, known to the class as Goldstealer, is a one-time character in her titular episode, where she serves as the antagonist. In that episode, out of spite for her being caught cheating at the previous World Wheel Games, she gets revenge on her rival, Angela Franklin, by stealing the gold medal for the Tokyo World Wheel Games and framing her for the theft. Her plans to keep her rival from participating in the World Wheel Games were thwarted by Franklin's daughter, Keesha.

Trivia[]

  • Her nickname is a reference to Auric Goldfinger from the James Bond franchise, as the episode she appears in pays homage to the third James Bond film, Goldfinger (1964). As a matter of fact, both James Bond: Goldfinger and "Goldstealer" are named after their antagonists.
