Debutant Gregor Hiddleston and Kyle Rowe also crossed for Scotland.
Argentina scored five tries, including two late scores that secured a bonus point. The hosts trailed throughout after an early response to Scotland's opening try. Scotland next faces South Africa on Saturday. The world champions defeated England 45-21 earlier in the day.
