The Persian Slippers

Private detective Philip Marlowe is hired to locate Norma Delaney, a troubled woman who vanished after an argument with her dangerously jealous husband. The search leads through foggy Los Angeles streets to a fortune teller, a secret lover, and a trail of deception that grows darker with every clue. As Marlowe pieces together the mystery, he uncovers a chilling plan involving blackmail, murder, and a staged suicide designed to let two lovers escape justice. But a single overlooked detail—a pair of ornate Persian slippers—reveals the truth behind a carefully constructed crime. Originally aired: October 3, 1948.
