The Argyle Album: Murder, Blackmail, and a Reporter’s Dangerous Scoop

Originally Aired: December 13, 1945 In Suspense #171, “The Argyle Album,” hard-nosed reporter Harry Mitchell (Robert Taylor) stumbles into the story of a lifetime when famed columnist Alan Pierce dies under mysterious circumstances. Pierce had been preparing to expose the contents of the so-called Argyle Album—a white leather book filled with incriminating evidence of wartime profiteering and treachery. Soon Mitchell finds himself framed for murder, hunted by police, and entangled with a sultry adventuress, ruthless blackmailers, and a shadowy power broker who will kill to keep the truth buried. Packed with double-crosses, shocking deaths, and a sinister locked-room mystery, this thriller hurtles toward a violent climax where justice comes at a terrible price.
