Fred Williamson equivalent of a Philip Marlowe movie

(1974) Black Eye THRILLER

The first of two movies Fred Williamson made with director and producer Jack Arnold, adapted from the novel "Murder on the Wild Side" by Jeff Jacks, he stars as ex-cop turned private eye, Shep Stone employed by Mr. Dole (Richard Anderson) to look for his daughter, Amy (Susan Arnold). And by the time he tracks her down, it turns out she may be part of a cult ring that involves drugs and prostitution. And like the movie "The Maltese Falcon" he also finds out several people are interested in an unique walking cane that used to belong to silent movie star. This is the African American equivalent of a Philip Marlowe movie.
