The main characters are introduced Spade's loyal secretary Effie Perine (Lee Patrick) enters Sam's office and informs him there is a new "customer", Miss Wonderly, to see him - and she's a "knockout." Spade is confronted by an innocent-looking, a cool client named "Ruth Wonderly" (Mary Astor) - a "knockout" indeed. Wonderly tells Spade that she is from New York and that her sister is missing. She asks for help in finding her sister, possibly here in San Francisco. She was associated with a man named Floyd Thursby. She explains what Thursby said to her: "He said she didn't want to see me. I can't believe that. He promised to bring her to the hotel if she'd come this evening. He said he knew she wouldn't. He promised to come himself if she didn't."
