In noir master Raymond Chandler's Playback, Philip Marlowe is hired by an influential lawyer he's never heard of to tail a gorgeous redhead but then decides he'd rather help out the redhead. She's been acquitted of her alcoholic husband's murder, but her father-in-law prefers not to take the court's word for it.

Los Angeles PI Philip Marlowe is mixing business with pleasure - he's getting paid to follow a lovely mysterious redhead called Eleanor King. And wherever Miss King goes, trouble is sure to follow. But she's easy on the eye and Marlowe's happy to do as he's told. But one dead body later and what started out as a lazy afternoon's snooping soon becomes a deadly cocktail of blackmail, lies, mistaken identity - and murder.

Eigentlich sollte Marlowe nur eine junge Frau im Bahnhof von Los Angeles ausfindig machen: "Es war kein Kunststück. Der 'Super Chief' war pünktlich, wie fast immer, und meine Zielperson stach heraus wie ein Känguru im Smoking." Doch kaum beschattet er die Dame, jagt eins das andere: falscher Name, Erpressung, Verfolger, Gangster. Ja, die attraktive Rothaarige wird so fatal von ihrer Vergangenheit eingeholt, dass Marlowe schwach wird und ihr beizustehen beginnt.
