Manage episode 491646130 series 3603785
Marlowe is in the middle of a strange dream, when his telephone rang. He picks it up. It is Dave Pryor, owner of the corner coffee shop. He says "Marlowe, this is Dave. Betty's gone. She's in trouble. You've got to help me, Marlowe. You've got to come over to my apartment, right away!" Marlowe says "Dave, it's one o'clock in the morning, and I'm in bed. You know I don't get in the middle of family quarrels". Dave says "It's not like that. Phil, believe me, I'm scared for her. Phil, please come over to the apartment. It's at 2000 Beechwood, It's a matter of life and death". Marlowe says "Okay, okay. I'll be there in ten minutes. When he arrives, Dave says "Marlowe, Marlowe, I thought you'd never get here. Look, somebody fired a shot through the door and when I got back with the aspirin, Betty was gone!" Marlowe says "All right, wait a minute, Dave. Hold it. I'm not even awake yet. Look, sit down. Take it from the top, slowly". Dave says "Yeah, okay. Maybe it started this morning at the coffee joint when a fancy guy came in and talked to Betty".
