“I’m no robber. I fell off a yacht.My name is Sanger Rainsford of New York City.”
This has to work!
Rainsford hears a gunshot on a distant island and drops his cigar. This causes him to fall off the yacht into the ocean.
No, why did his dog go in it!!!
After swimming to the island where he heard the gunshot, Rainsford goes to the door and is met with hostility. Ivan pulls a gun on Rainsford and is only stopped when General Zaroff greets Rainsford.

Rainsford patiently waits as General Zaroff comes across his Malayan Mancather trap. The trap will not kill Zaroff, but it will injure his shoulder. This grants Rainsford a few hours to think about what to do next.
I will sleep well tonight.
Rainsford watches from above as Zaroff and his hound come across his Burmese tiger pit. Zaroff yet again escapes Rainsford's trap only because his hound falls in the pit.
After killing Ivan with his spear contraption, Rainsford frantically runs from Zaroff and the dogs. When Rainsford gets to the ocean, he jumps off a cliff into the water to retreat to safety.
After revealing he survived his fall into the ocean, Rainsford throws General Zaroff off his room balcony. The hounds anxiously wait ready for a night snack.
