This episode has a couple of strengths. One of them is being set in 1947, with Eve Arden as the victim as Eve was an actual radio star during that period in history gives it more of a feeling of being real. The second is a strong guest cast to go with her. The plot is well designed too though this series pretty much has that strength in all it's episodes. Arden is obviously wearing what looks to be a wig in this episode.
Miss Aggie is an afternoon radio soap opera which Arden stars in. She has manipulated the shows sponsor and the cast into making her the star. But the shows writer's are about to write her out because she is too demanding. Her scheme is to poison herself and create publicity so she can't leave the show. This episode is a great reminder of what the entertainment world was like When radio movies dominated it.
She is in the hospital recovering nicely with her plan until one of her enemies comes in and shoots her. There are suspects plenty and it takes a lot of little things for Ellery to solve this one.
