A cache inspired by the lyrics to the
song "The Friends of Mr Cairo" by Jon and Vangelis and dedicated to
all the old black and white movies of the past , especially ones
starring Humphrey Bogart such as The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca
,or should that be cacheablanca
A quick plot guide to The Maltese
Falcon;
Spade and Archer is the name of a San Francisco detective agency.
That's for Sam Spade and Miles Archer. The two men are partners,
but Sam doesn't like Miles much. An attractive woman, who goes by
the name of Miss Wanderly, walks into their office; and by that
night everything's changed. Miles is dead. And so is a man named
Floyd Thursby. It seems Miss Wanderly is surrounded by dangerous
men. There's Joel Cairo, who uses gardenia-scented calling cards.
There's Kasper Gutman, with his enormous girth and feigned
civility. Her only hope of protection comes from Sam, who is
suspected by the police of one or the other murder. More murders
are yet to come, and it will all be because of these dangerous men
-- and their lust for a statuette of a bird: the Maltese
Falcon.
