Saturday, July 4 - Three on a Ticket

Three on a Ticket (1947)

Michael Shayne (Hugh Beaumont) has discovered more than one dead body in his office, but he never saw one walk in before. That is what happened however, when a fellow private investigator stumbled into Shayne’s office and dropped dead without so much as a single word. As it turned out, the man had been shot and Shayne found little in terms of clues, but he was able to discover [a piece of] a baggage claim ticket in one of the dead man’s pockets. Of course, Shayne knows the local cops would love to pin a murder on him, so he has to evade the authorities as he looks into the case, but things soon become a little more complicated. A woman seeks to hire him, not for his skills of deduction, but to knock off her husband. That might not be in Shayne’s wheelhouse, but the woman’s presence seems to be trouble no matter he does, as he tries to crack the murder while dealing with the cops and some mysterious thugs.
