It began in San Francisco when a beautiful young woman, who identified herself as Miss Wonderly, walked into the offices of Spade and Archer, private detectives. Miss Wonderly had just told Sam Spade why she wished to engage detectives when Spade's partner Miles Archer entered the office.

Well, it's all right, Miles, come in. There's Wonderly, this is Miles Archer, my partner. How do you do? Oh, I'll please the meet you. Miss Wonderly's sister ran away from New York with a fellow named Floyd Thursby.

They're here in San Francisco. Miss Wonderly has seen Thursby and has a date with him tonight. Maybe he'll bring the sister with him, the chances are he won't. Miss Wonderly wants us to find the sister.

Get her away from Thirseby and back home. But I want you to know that he's a dangerous man. I don't think he'd stop at anything. I don't believe it hesitated to kill Corinne, my sister, if he thought it would save him.

Uh-huh. What time is he coming to see you, Miss Oneley? After eight o'clock. All right, Miss Oneley, we'll have a man there. I'll look after it myself. Thank you, Mr. Archer. We'll, uh, two hundred dollars be enough for a rotainer.
