Synopsis
Le général Sternwood engage le détective privé Philip Marlowe pour régler une affaire de chantage dont il est victime. Un dénommé Geiger possèderait des photos compromettantes de sa fille cadette, Carmen. Mais Marlowe découvre que le maître chanteur a été assassiné. Rapidement, les cadavres s'accumulent et l'intrigue se complique. De nombreux personnage entrent en scène, dont Vivian, la sœur aînée de Carmen.
