Homicide Detail. A man is missing, and its up to Joe Friday to fine him.
Partner, Ed Jacobs joins Joe on the overcast day in Los Angeles. They interview Ralph’s sister, who is mystified over the disappearance. How was his business doing? Was there any money owed? Did any friends have motive to harm him? Moving on to other business acquaintances and friends, one name kept coming to the front, Andy Howard. Damage in Ralph’s apartment could offer a clue. Will the landlady know something about the body hiding in the Murphey wall bed?
In voiceover Joe describes the mundane progress in searching for Andy. Returning to the sister, Joe learns about a fight between Ralph and Andy. Pawn shops are investigated in hopes of locating a missing TV. Identifying tattoos are learned about, and the trail to Andy gets closer.
Now going under the stolen identification of Ralph, Andy has made dates with girls. Will one of them work with Joe in turning in the killer? Working with San Diego cops, a stakeout turns up nothing. Andy is finally picked up, but will his airtight alibi hold up? Joe uncovers the truth of what happened between friends.
