What happens

Third Party Risk (released in the US as The Deadly Game) is a 1955 second feature British crime drama film directed by Daniel Birt (who died a few months after the film's completion) and starring Lloyd Bridges, Simone Silva and Finlay Currie. It was written by Daniel Birt and Robert Dunbaris, based on the 1953 novel of the same name by Nicholas Bentley. It was released in the United States by Lippert Pictures under the title The Deadly Game, and later shown on American television under the title Big Deadly Game. J. Elder Wills was art director, Jimmy Sangster was assistant director and Phil Leakey handled makeup. Parts of the film were shot on location in Spain. Filming started on 15 February 1954, and it was trade shown on 22 March 1955 at the Hammer Theatre. Meanwhile the film had already been released in America in January 1955. This was the last Hammer film that Lippert released in the US. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
