The threatening letters are composed from words cut from newspapers and pasted on sheets of paper. They have been married for little more than a year and he is an intrepretive photographer. They live at the Estate of her uncle, Avery Fairchild, who doesn't like Bruce. Isabelle wants Marlowe to stay at the guest cottage a while, posing as an old USC college friend so as not to arouse suspicion. She also says that a man in a white Panama Hat has been lurking around lately. Upon leaving the Pelikan Inn, Marlowe is nearly run over by a man wearing a white Panama Hat. Marlowe goes to the Fairchild Estate where he meets Uncle Avery. As Avery is talking disparagingly of Bruce, the latter walks in. Marlowe engages Bruce in conversation about photography on their way to the guest cottage, which contains Bruce's photographic studio. Later, Marlowe is awakened by a noise outside. When he investigates he is punched out. When he awakes he finds a gold cigarette lighter inscribed to "Skipper". Isabelle says that her cousin John "Skipper" Martin has come for a visit. Later, Marlowe runs into a man holding a .38 revolver on him. The man thinks that Marlowe is Martin. He says that his name is Brock, and he is here to collect the $10,000 gambling debt loan. Marlowe then locates Martin at the Wilshire Gardens and poses as Brock on his collection run. He then calls Isabelle who tells him that Bruce has been kidnapped and a ransom of $50,000 has been demanded. Marlowe then sees Martin enter the abode of flaming red haired Carla Winters. Avery agrees to give Isabelle the $50,000. Bruce returns. Avery will not allow Bruce to talk to the police because he doesn't like publicity. Avery tells Marlowe that he will receive his payment tomorrow. Marlowe looks around the guest cottage before he leaves. There is a portrait of Carla Winters. Marlowe calls Ybarra but gets Sergeant Neely who tells him that the Lieutenant is at Martin's place. Marlowe calls there and learns that Martin has been shot. Marlowe finds a piece of paper that ties the case all together. Marlowe goes back into the Fairchild Estate and says that Bruce staged his own kidnapping and then killed Martin, and that Carla Winters has the money. Martin was blackmailing Bruce and Carla to pay off his gambling debts. The piece of pare was a department store receipt for one Panama hat. Marlowe returns to his place on Franklin Avenue.
