Synopsis:

When George Sanders announced that he was leaving the 'Falcon' series, RKO Radio came up with the perfect replacement: Sanders' own brother, Tom Conway. The transition was handled with style in The Falcon's Brother, with private detective Gay Lawrence (Sanders), aka The Falcon, incapacitated early in the proceedings. Anxious to break up an Axis spy ring, Gay calls upon his brother Tom (Tom Conway) to help out. The villains intend to foment a rift in the relationship between North and South America, which Tom, with the aid of intrepid heroine Marcia (Jane Randolph) and dopey sidekick Goldy (Don Barclay), hopes to prevent. By film's end, Tom Lawrence has assumed his brother's mantle as the Falcon, and the Falcon he would remain for the next eight entries in the series.

Gay Lawrence (George Sanders) is the debonair and ruthless amateur detective known only as The Falcon. He learns that his brother Tom (Tom Conway) has been reported murdered on a ship arriving from South America. The Falcon swoops to investigate and stalks the would-be murderers before learning that his brother is still alive. His hunt leads him into murky waters with a variety of spies, spivs, and racketeers arriving into New York. The Falcon pursues the gangsters and comes off worse when protecting a diplomat, so the scene is set for the Falcon's mantle to be passed to his brother. When Tom takes over the case, his investigations lead to the doors of a fashion magazine and a ring of Nazi spies&

Gay Lawrence, amateur detective known as The Falcon, learns that his brother Tom has been reported murdered on a ship arriving from South America. Gay pursues the murderers, despite the fact that he knows his brother is still alive. When he is disabled, his brother Tom takes over the case, investigating a fashion magazine involved in secret activities with German infiltrators.
