The Adventures of Philip Marlowe -- The Fox's Tail
When Orin Metcalf requests a private meeting with Marlowe it is to ask for his help.
Metcalf is representing a chemist who is suing his former employer because he stole the scientist's secret formula for a revolutionary nail polish. According to Metcalf, the product will be worth millions.
The problem is, Metcalf's scheme involves Phil assuming the identity of a dead man.
Howard McNear shines as Orin Metcalf in a pretty good story.
