In a Mexican diamond mine, Detective Philip Marlowe must knab a thief! Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road and those who travel it wind up in the gutter, the prison or an early grave. There's no other end, but they never learn. Let me give you an example. Philip Marlowe was hired to find a thief and he did, a thousand miles from home. What he found was a fresh corpse in the closet and all because the only woman in sight wouldn't play fair.
