Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) is a private detective who receives an invitation to the home of General Sternwood. Sternwood asks Marlowe to investigate a debt related to his daughter, Carmen Sternwood, who owes a gambling debt to a man named Geiger. When Marlowe tries to leave, Sternwood's elder daughter, Vivian (Lauren Bacall), intercepts him and reveals that her father's true reason for hiring him is to find a missing friend. Marlowe is skeptical but continues. The next day, Marlowe goes to find Geiger and hears a gunshot outside Geiger's door. When he enters, he finds Geiger's body and a bound Carmen Sternwood (Martha Vickers), along with a camera. Marlowe takes the camera and returns Carmen home. When Marlowe goes back to the scene, he discovers that Geiger's body has vanished, and the Sternwood family's driver has died in a car accident. The case becomes increasingly convoluted; what connections exist between these events? Will Marlowe uncover the truth? This film is adapted from the novel of the same name by detective fiction writer Raymond Chandler.
