‘The Three Blind Mice’ re-appear a short time later when Bond travels to meet Miss Taro. During a car chase to force Bond off the road, his Sunbeam Alpine easily manages to outmanoeuvre his pursuers hearse.

‘The Three Blind Mice’ are paid assassins working for Dr. No. After Strangways informs Professor Dent of his findings on Crab Key, Dent arranges for ‘The Three Blind Mice’ to kill Strangways and his secretary Miss Trueblood. ‘The Three Blind Mice’ are killed when their plan to force Bond off the road backfires sending them careering off a cliff to their death.

They never really make an attempt on Bond’s life. They’re waiting outside of the Bond’s hotel in Jamaica, but as they’re preparing to shoot Bond, a car drives by and they miss their chance. They also chase Bond in their car, but that ends with Bond getting away and them getting an introduction to the bottom of a ravine.

The Three Blind Mice are not mentioned in the film’s opening or end credits. The name “Three Blind Mice”, comes from the song that plays in the background when they are first introduced at the beginning of the film.

The opening scenes are in Kingston, Jamaica, where the ‘three blind mice’ amble through Harbour Street, downtown. John Strangway is gunned down by the ‘mice’ and spirited away after a bridge game at the ‘Queens Club’, now the Liguanea Club, 80 Knutsford Boulevard – a private sports club and hotel, and also the home of the Jamaican Squash Association.
