In San Francisco, wealthy Ruth Wonderly hires amorous gumshoe Sam Spade and his partner, Miles Archer, to trail her sister's kidnapper, Floyd Thursby. Wonderly's story is revealed as a ruse when both Archer and Thursby are later found murdered. Soon, Spade discovers that Wonderly and three other criminal oddballs -- including rotund Casper Gutman -- are in search of an elusive jewel-covered statuette known as ''the Maltese Falcon.''
