What happens

Target: Harry (also known as How to Make It and the original title What's in it for Harry?) is a 1969 thriller film directed by Roger Corman. The film was originally meant as a television pilot for the American Broadcasting Company. Rather than show it as a made-for-television film, the film was released theatrically as How to Make It. The film was shot in Monaco and Turkey in 1967 with Monte Hellman editing the film in 1968. Roger Corman took his name off the film and credited himself as "Henry Neill". According to Flimink the reasons for this are "a bit hazy – maybe because Gene added extra footage to try to sell the film, meant for television, to cinemas." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
