The story

In 1941 Los Angeles, private detective Philip Marlowe is hired by recently paroled felon "Moose" Malloy to find his old girlfriend Velma Valento, whom he has not seen in seven years while he has been in prison. Malloy goes to ground after killing the new owner of the nightclub where Velma used to work. Using a photo supplied by Velma's old nightclub friend Tommy Ray, Marlowe traces her to an insane asylum in Camarillo, but when he breaks the news to Malloy, he discovers that he had been given a photo of a different woman.
