synopsis
PRC's Arson Squad stars Frank Albertson as an insurance investigator and Robert Armstrong as chief of the police department's arson troubleshooters. Albertson and Armstrong team up to solve a particularly vicious series of deliberate fires. A man has been killed in one conflagration, so the villains have a murder rap hanging over them. The "usual suspects" include such murder-mystery reliables as Byron Foulger and Charles Arnt. The leading lady of Arson Squad is Grace Gillern, who emerged as something less than a household name after this programmer was distributed in September of 1945.
