Die Spur des Falken (1941)
Im Auftrag einer Frau beschattet Privatdetektiv Miles Archer einen Mann. Doch schnell entwickelt sich der anfängliche Routineauftrag für Archers Partner, den hartgesottenen, zynischen Sam Spade zu einer heimtückischen Falle: Als sowohl Archer als auch der zu beschattende Mann ermordet werden, gerät Spade selber unter Mordverdacht. Bei seinen Recherchen stößt er auf eine Gruppe zwielichtiger Gestalten, die alle einer wertvollen Statue hinterherjagen: dem geheimnisvollen Malteser Falken.
