About this episode

When a small-time hood named Waldo turns up riddled with bullets, private detective Philip Marlowe is hired to untangle a case no one else wants. The trail leads through cheap nightclubs, frightened witnesses, and a tangle of double-crosses involving stolen money and misplaced loyalties. As suspects pile up and alibis crumble, Marlowe pieces together the truth behind a killing that was never as simple as it first appeared. Originally aired: June 12, 1947. Cast: Gerald Mohr, Virginia Gregg, Lawrence Dobkin, Parley Baer, Howard McNear
