Lloyd Bridges plays a character who likes to record music featuring castanets on a reel to reel in The Deadly Game. While in Spain - the castanets capital of the world - he meets an old war buddy (Tony) who runs a successful photography/blackmail/industrial espionage business. Tony's occupation isn't without its risks and he ends up dead after stealing some kind of formula from Big Pharma.
I'm not sure if I got the plot right but it doesn't really matter because we know Lloyd, with the help of local law enforcement, will catch the bad guys and end up with the cute brunette.
Lloyd gets knocked out early on the film. Having the hero get conked on the noggin' seems to be an on going theme in these Lippert/Hammer productions. It's my understanding that Lippert (an American) insisted on having an American play the lead in their joint ventures. Hammer must have said: "Okay fine, as long as they get hit on the head in each film."
