An odd comedy involving White Russians, bowling, a severed toe, and a guy named The Dude. Jeff ‘The Dude’ Lebowski isn’t interested in drama and isn’t even interested in working. But when his rug is damaged in a bizarre case of mistaken identity, he is forced to set out on a hunt with his bowling mates.

Private detective Philip Marlowe is summoned to the mansion of General Sternwood, who wants to resolve ‘gambling debts’ that his daughter Carmen owes to bookseller Arthur Geiger. She suspects her father’s true motive for hiring a detective is to find his protégé Sean Regan who had mysteriously disappeared a month earlier.

The cases of private investigator Philip Marlowe are chronicled in the series. Storylines were taken from Chandler’s short stories and were set in Los Angeles in the 1930s.

Late one night, private investigator Philip Marlowe is visited by his close friend Terry Lennox, who asks for a lift from Los Angeles to the California–Mexico border at Tijuana. Marlowe obliges. On returning home, Marlowe is met by two police detectives who accuse Lennox of having murdered his rich wife, Sylvia.

Marlowe accepts a task to find Velma, Moose Malloy’s girlfriend. Velma hasn’t been seen in six years, and Malloy, a minor offender, was just released from prison after serving a seven-year sentence. A seemingly straightforward case of a missing individual, however, turns out to be much more complicated than Marlowe could have ever imagined as initially encouraging clues lead to a convoluted web of fraud, bribery, perjury, and theft in which no one’s purpose is obvious, least of all Marlowe’s.

The series follows the cases of private detective Philip Marlowe. The action takes place in Los Angeles during the 1930s, with the plots being adapted from short stories by author Raymond Chandler. The series features Philip Carey as Marlowe and William Schallert co-stars as Police Lieutenant Manny Harris.

In 1950s Tokyo, Tamotsu is suspected of killing Shizuka Harada, his actress wife. He runs away to Taiwan and kills himself. Private investigator Banji Masuzawa, a friend of Tamotsu, has questions about Tamotsu’s passing, but prominent media tycoon Heizo Harada conceals the facts. After that, Banji becomes entangled in a different case involving the Harada family’s neighbors.

Set in 2007 in Los Angeles, Philip Marlowe still solves mysteries and doggedly fights for truth with his whiskey, his revolver, and his gravelly first-person narration. The case isn’t over until justice is served, even if the check bounces. The only change in his style is that he’s hired a girl Friday, a dame named Jessica who’s as hard-headed as she is easy on the eyes.

A Philip Marlowe’s case, the death of a client and the hunt for an ex-long-lost convict’s love, take a nasty turn when they start to intertwine, dragging the private eye deeper and deeper into 1940s Los Angeles’ seedy underbelly. It appears that Marlowe might be the next person to pass out as the stakes are heightened and the death toll rises.

Elizabeth Murdock, a wealthy widow, hires private investigator Philip Marlowe to look into the loss of a rare coin, the Brasher Doubloon, from her late husband’s personal collection. When Marlowe initially thinks the investigation is rather ordinary, a murder, a string of dubious personalities, and dangerous criminals soon face him.

A priceless antique coin was taken from its owner by her son, who then used it to settle a blackmailer, thus the owner hires a private investigator to find it. In no time at all, the private eye is enmeshed in fights, additional blackmail, hysterical ladies, and murder.
