An actor is murdered on a Hollywood studio backlot - just days before his former wife is due to marry a successful director. The debonair sleuth goes behind the scenes to uncover the truth. Detective thriller, starring Tom Conway alongside Barbara Hale and Veda Ann Borg.

Suave amateur detective Tom Lawrence--aka Michael Arlen's literary hero The Falcon--arrives in Hollywood for some rest and relaxation, only to find himself involved in the murder of a movie actor. There's no shortage of suspects: the costume designer to whom he was married, a tyrannical director, a beautiful young French starlet, a Shakespeare-quoting producer, even a New York gangster. Helping The Falcon solve the crime is a cute, wise-cracking cab driver and a pair of bumbling cops.
