Adventures of Philip Marlowe - A Seaside Sabbatical
When Phil receives a telegram from one Dale Higgins asking him to meet in a restaurant in Long Beach, Marlowe is puzzled; he knows no Dale Higgins. But since money is low and he needs a case, he heads down to Ocean Blvd.
When he gets to the restaurant, a man answering to Higgins meets him and advises him the emergency is over, pays the detective for his time, and Marlowe heads for home.
That's when a frantic woman approaches him, calls him by name, and repeats that she is in trouble and desperately needs his help.
Her name? Dale Higgins.
