Marlowe (Montgomery) is hired by crime-fiction editor Adrienne Fromsett (Audrey Totter) to find Chrystal Kingsby, faithless wife of Adrienne's boss, Derace Kingsby (Leon Ames). Seems Chrystal sent Kingsby a telegram claiming that she was going to Mexico to get a quickie divorce so she could marry her gigolo boyfriend, Chris Lavery. However, Lavery is still in town and says he hasn't seen Chrystal in a month. Chrystal was last seen at Derace Kingsby's estate at Little Fawn Lake, where police have just recovered the dead body of a woman named Muriel Chess, wife of the caretaker. And Muriel knew Chris Lavery... More plot twists follow in classic Raymond Chandler fashion, including Marlowe running afoul of local cops Capt. Kane (Tom Tully) and Lt. [=DeGarmot=] (Lloyd Nolan).

* DidIMentionItsChristmas: The film is set at Christmastime, seemingly for no other reason than to provide an ironic counterpoint to its story of lust, betrayal and murder. The opening credits are presented as a stack of Christmas cards picked up one at a time, eventually revealing a gun at the bottom. Scene transitions are accompanied by a choir wordlessly singing carols in a minor key. A hardnosed cop gets distracted from his interrogation of Marlowe when the cop's daughter calls the office and starts reciting "Literature/TwasTheNightBeforeChristmas" to her over the phone.
