Three recently discharged Navy flyers arrive in Hollywood. One, Alan Ladd, goes to see his wife while the other two stay in their hotel. Ladd finds his wife drunk at a party and flirting with a man. They fight and she reveals the shocking truth about their child who died while he was serving. He leaves, but she turns up dead the next morning and he is the leading suspect. He makes friends with lonely Veronica Lake who happens to be married to his wife's lover, also a suspect in the murder. Meanwhile, one of his friends back at the apartment gets involved when he goes looking for Ladd and ends up with his dead wife as well. The police finally catch up to him and the other suspects. A satsifying, twisty, turning noir mystery from writer Raymond Chandler.
