Kind of confusing.
"The Falcon's Alibi" is a somewhat muddled 1946 entry into the series with a couple of different plots going on at the same time.
Tom Conway playing Tom Lawrence aka the Falcon and Goldie (Vince Barnett) are asked to protect a woman's pearl necklace by her pretty employee (Rita Corday) - as there have already been some jewelry robberies at the Barbary Towers hotel where they are staying. However, the pearls are gone and what's left is paste. Emory Parnell is the insurance detective on the scene.
A couple of suspects are the gorgeous band singer (Jane Greer) and her husband (Elisha Cook Jr.) who runs a radio show on the top floor. When a murder is committed, he has an alibi, however.
A couple of interesting moments, one of which has Goldie starting a smudge fire in a hotel room -- a Sherlock Holmes move. Also there is some good music.
As usual, the film ended abruptly as the Falcon films always seem to. The best thing for me was seeing Jane Greer and hearing her sing. She's a favorite.
