The Blue Dahlia

A história

O capitão da aviação naval Johnny retorna da guerra juntamente com seus dois camaradas, Buzz e George. Separando-se deles para voltar para a sua esposa Helen, Johnny a encontra alcoólica e com um caso extraconjugal. Mesmo assim tenta continuar com ela, mas resolve abandoná-la quando a ouve dizer que mentiu sobre a morte do filho pequeno de ambos. Tentando sair da cidade sob uma forte chuva, ele encontra Joyce, que não sabe quem ele é. Johnny também não sabe que ela é a ex-esposa de Eddie, um dos donos da boate "Dália Azul" e o homem que tem um caso com Helen.
Johnny e Joyce começam um romance, que é interrompido quando Johnny ouve no rádio sobre a morte de Helen. Imediatamente ele vai atrás do ex-marido de Joyce a quem julga ser o assassino, mas sua busca é dificultada por ter os gângsters cúmplices de Eddie e toda a polícia de Los Angeles atrás dele.
