The Big Sleep plot

"Meet Philip Marlowe. The toughest private eye whoever wore a trench coat, slapped a dame and split his knuckles on a jawbone."

Philip Marlowe visits England to start an investigation into the British upper class. On behalf of a sick war veteran, the detective must track down a blackmailer who is attacking the ex-general's two daughters. Marlowe can prove that the man's long-missing son-in-law was murdered.
