This, the second adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel, is much closer to the source text than the original - Murder, My Sweet (1944), which tended to avoid some of the sleazier parts of the plot - but still concerns private eye Philip Marlowe's attempts to locate Velma, a former dancer at a seedy nightclub and the girlfriend of Moose Malloy, a petty criminal just out of prison. Marlowe finds that once he has taken the case, events conspire to put him in dangerous situations, and he is forced to follow a confusing trail of untruths and double-crosses before he is able to locate Velma. 译文(2): 这是雷蒙德·钱德勒小说的第二次改编，比原著《谋杀，我的甜心》(Murder，My Sweet，1944)更接近原著，该书试图避开情节中一些低级的部分，但仍涉及私家侦探菲利普 · 马洛(Philip Marlowe)试图找到维尔马(Velma)的下落。维尔马曾是一家破烂夜总会的舞蹈演员，也是刚出狱的小罪犯穆斯 · 马洛伊(Moose Malloy)的女友。马洛发现，一旦他接了这个案子，各种事件密谋使他处于危险的境地，他被迫跟随一连串令人困惑的谎言和欺骗，才能找到维尔马。
