Das Lied vom dünnen Mann (1947)
Der allseits unbeliebte Bandleader Tommy Drake wird an Bord eines schwimmenden Spielcasinos ermordet, Hauptverdächtiger ist der Eigentümer des Schiffs, Phil Brant. Nachdem er zunächst ablehnt, sich dem Fall zu widmen, ändert Freizeitdetektiv Nick Charles seine Meinung, als er selbst Opfer eines Mordversuchs wird. Gemeinsam mit Ehefrau Nora und Hund Asta beginnt er, in der Welt verrauchter Jazzclubs Nachforschungen anzustellen, um den wahren Schuldigen zu finden.
