Originally Aired: May 23, 1946 In Suspense #194, “Spoils for Victor,” small-time racketeer Victor Rudiger thinks he’s hit the jackpot when a chance encounter lands him in the life—and the fortune—of wealthy heiress Madeline Rawlins. Backed by his old mob pals, Victor marries into riches with a deadly plan: six months of high living before his bride’s “accidental” death secures her millions.

As betrayal closes in, the final gunshots decide whose spoils will be claimed—and whose love will prove fatal.
