Engineer Scott Henderson (Alan Curtis)
is at a seedy midtown Manhattan bar early one evening, drowning his
sorrows over a failed marriage, when he strikes up a conversation with
a woman (Fay Helm).
She's well dressed, with a very ornate hat topping off her ensemble,
and also seems even sadder and more lost than he is. Henderson
persuades her to join him in taking advantage of the two theater
tickets he has. They attend the show -- a song-and-dance showcase by a
Brazilian artist (Aurora)
-- and then part company without ever exchanging names. He returns home
to find three detectives in his apartment and his wife strangled.

"The Argyle Secrets" is a poverty-row noir made in 1948 for Eronel
Productions that follows newsman Harry
Mitchell (William Gargan), hot on the trail of the mysterious Argyle
album.
The album is a package of incriminating evidence of wartime collaboration and
betrayal that results early on in the death of an older, famous
reporter whose fragmentary whispers and one photo-stat of the cover of
the album lead Mitchell on what first seems to be a wild goose chase in
search of an item that may or may not even really exist.

Private detective Simon Lash (Arlen) is contacted by Joyce, an
ex-girlfriend who jilted him at the altar. Joyce is played by Veda Ann
Borg, who always looked trashy. Joyce's husband Jim has been suffering from
bouts of amnesia, and now he's gone missing altogether.
Jim was a bank
executive, and private-eye Lash is a cynical
sleuth, so he naturally assumes that Jim's 'amnesia' was a pretext for
embezzling bank funds. But then Lash investigates, and no funds are
missing. Then, of course, he investigates a little more, and...

Suddenly is the name of the small town invaded by professional assassin Frank Sinatra and his henchmen.
Taking a local family hostage, Sinatra
sets up a vigil at the second-story window of the family's home. From
here, he intends to kill the President of the United States when the
latter makes a whistle-stop visit.
The film's tension level is enough
to induce goose pimples from first scene to last. Sinatra
is outstanding as the disgruntled war vet who hopes to become a
"somebody" by killing the president.

Also known as The Amazing Mr. X, The Spiritualist stars Turhan
Bey as the title character, a mysterious mystic named Alexis.

Bari).
Hoping to communicate with her husband, who supposedly died
in a car crash two years earlier, Christine submits to Alexis'
crystal-ball act. Our hero finds out more than he bargained for when the
"deceased" Mr. Faber (Donald Curtis) turns up very much alive as the central
figure in an elaborate fraud scheme.
