Originally Aired: January 4, 1945 In Suspense #124, “I Had an Alibi,” Keenan Wynn stars as Joe Eichner, a cynical newspaperman-turned-mystery writer who dreams up the “perfect” crime—then tries to live it. When Joe marries a dying heiress for her fortune and crafts a seemingly airtight alibi for her murder, everything seems to go according to plan. But fate, and a deadly twist, reveal that no alibi is ever truly perfect. A taut, ironic thriller about greed, guilt, and the art of the double cross.
