The briefcase held a new drug that had been in development for 10 years, ever since Huey Lewis requested it in 1984. The request that it not spill or come in a pill required a novel delivery system, producing the high via modulated stimulation of the optic nerve, but subtracting the shorter blue wavelengths that might disrupt the circadian regulatory system and therefore keep the user up all night or make them sleep all day. Hence, the golden glow. Every time someone opens up the case, they are taking an e-drug.

"If you all are anything like me then you had no idea what was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. So, through a friend of a friend of a friend who had a two hour conversation with Quentin Tarantino himself, I now know, and I thought I would pass along the information because it makes the movie even 100 times better than it already is. Remember the first time you were introduced to Marsellus Wallace. The first shot of him was of the back of his head, complete with band-aid. Then, remember the combination of the lock on the briefcase was 666. Then, remember that whenever anyone opened the briefcase, it glowed, and they were in amazement at how beautiful it was; they were speechless. Now, bring in some Bible knowledge, and remember that when the devil takes your soul, he takes it from the back of your head. Yep, you guessed it. What is the most beautiful thing about a person: his soul. Marsellus Wallace had sold his soul to the devil, and was trying to buy it back. The three kids in the beginning of the movie were the devil’s helpers. And remember that when the kid at the end came out of the bathroom with a 'hand cannon,' Jules and Vincent were not harmed by the bullets. 'God came down and stopped the bullets' because they were saving a soul. It was divine intervention." https://www.snopes.com/movies/films/pulpfiction.asp https://www.snopes.com/movies/films/pulpfiction.asp

  The briefcase held the actual, original MacGuffin and the actual, original Chekhov's gun--which was never fired in the movie. The former was the treasure that had been used as a nonspecific plot device by Sophocles, Menander, and an unbroken line of storytellers, through Shakespeare, and ending with Alfred Hitchcock, George Lucas, and Quentin Tarantino. The latter had a more recent origin, but somehow ended up in Tarantino's possession without him knowing of its significance. It is somewhat obvious that Tarantino lost the plot devices some time after production, as they reappeared in fused form 6 years later in "Dude, Where's My Car?"
