The Shadow was a fictional character created by American magazine publishers Street & Smith and writer Walter B. Gibson. He was an invincible crime fighter who possessed many gifts which enabled him to overcome any enemy. In addition to his great strength, he defied gravity, spoke any language, unraveled any codes and most notably, he became invisible with his ability to "cloud men's minds." The Shadow was originally created to be a mysterious radio show narrator but developed into a distinct literary character. The Shadow has been adapted in many forms of media, such as American comic books, comic strips, serials, video games, and at least five feature films.

Law and orders in reality, Lamon Crampston, wealthy young man
about town. Years ago in the Orient, Crampson learned a

(02:32):
Death in a Minor.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Key, Death in a Minor see.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You know?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
To me, that expression brings back the memory of a
series of weird, eerie musical notes in a minor Seed
that had a tragic theory on my life. Funny, isn't
it how all of us recall a certain sound that
we had, so we ate our minds with a strange,
indeterminate feeling of uneasy or fear.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Like.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, like the cry of a coyote as a silhouette
against the night's or the wild shriek of a siren
as an ambulance catapulted through the city's darkened streets. And
then there's even the sound of a distant train for
so punctuating the evening, still bringing with it that lost,
empty sensation of being all alone in a strange, lonesome
(03:34):
world around. Huh, I thought, I just happened to think
all of those sounds that I described the night's sound.
I guess that does have significance too, because the night
is well. Night is a time for fear. And it
(03:54):
was at night too that those notes in a minor
key were heard, thank you, because it was supping played
on a strange instrument, and if they came closer, you
heard uneven heavy bootist steps. That sounds a louder now,
(04:17):
the footsteps.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Nearer nearer, nearer nearer.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Well, I seem to be getting a hit of my story.
It's one that I think will interest you, so if
you'd like me to pass it on, suppose I start
at the beginning. My name is Terry Mason. My mother
and father died in an accident when I was twelve
and I was brought up by an only uncle. My
story really begins down in Santa Domingo, where I spent
two years supervising one of the family plantations. Well, Santa
(04:53):
Domingo was all right, but believe you me, I was
a very happy guy when the day finally arrived for
me to boy the ship to return to the States.
The main reason for that happiness was well, because I
was in love. Yeah, not only in love, but on
my way to get married.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, the girl was Barbara Norton, So you can imagine
how anxious I was for that boat to get to
New York and get their fans.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I got to New York, all right, And the following day,
in a little church downtown.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Do you, Barbara Norton, take this man to be your
lawful widded husband.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I do, I do. Yeah, it was a beautiful ceremony,
I guess. But I wasn't the man who married Barbara Norton.
What happened, Well, there were probably a dozen reasons. Let's
just say that two years was too long for it
(06:02):
to wait. Well, a thing like that pretty tough to take.
All my hopes and dreams of a future were wrapped
up in Barbara then all of a sudden boom, there's nothing.
After she was gone, there was only one thing to do,
try to forget, to lose myself in bright lights, music,
in the gay whirl of the city's night spots. When
(06:25):
one place would close, I dig up another. My favorite
hangout was a sky room. Of course, I know I
shouldn't have gone there because everyone knew me, But I
just liked the idea of kicking it around forty stories
above the ground.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I never took a.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Table and sat at the bar and listened hazily to
the jumble of conversation around.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Get it that tomorrow, not getting the line.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I'm having so much fun to watch you.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Oh, Sully, you see that young man sitting at the bar,
you know, even staring at you for the.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Past ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Hey, wait a minute, I believe I know him. Of course,
that's young Terry Mason Sake. I haven't seen him in
the years. Well, if he plan ask him your mind, No, no,
I wish you would, very hey, Verry, Yeah, oh, come.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
On over, if he can make it.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
He almost landed.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
On that table.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Hello, Terry, I'm glad to see.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
How are you in the mild? Fine?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Thank you? Well, This is miss Lane, Jerry, how do
you do?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Tell me where have you been all these years?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Your Santa to Mingo plantations stuff? Two years of it?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
They got better up and came back. Huh are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
By?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
What do you mean? You know why I came back?
I pay back? Don't there?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You've seen miss Lane? That's Cranston, always the gentleman. Well,
I tell you my friend, I came back to get married.
But you want to know what happened? I was children?
Oh that's there? Was I you waiting at the church?
Come on, let's have it. Who was the girl? Barbara Norton? Yes,
(08:08):
I know, nice kid, nice kid, good to her parents.
Woman of a word.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Too, yeah, woman of a word? Just what happened there?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I was away too long? That's the story they give me.
I was away too long. But that isn't the real story.
And that's by a long shot. They're all working together
on this thing. They're working against me.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Who's working together my uncle Barbara.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
And her father, doctor Norton. I don't understand my uncle
controls my inheritance Lamont. Today I learned that he and
doctor Norton were planning to confine me in the doctor's
private sanitarium. What do you think of that?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Well, now, maybe they're doing it for your own good.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Oh sure, just like Barbara married somebody else for my
own good. Oh no, no, sir, they're all working together.
They want that inheritance, and if they get me to
that sanitarium, they know they'll have Where is his place
that the Hudson used to be our family home?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Terry, I think you're putting too much stress on his
bull thing.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Well, March, you've got to believe if they confine me
in that place, I'll never come out alive. Well, in
spite of all I could do, they put me in
the sanitarium the next day. It's for your own good, Terry,
(09:28):
they kept telling. Well, yeah, what they really meant was
that it was for their own good. Well. I kept
my eyes in ears open, waiting, waiting for something to happen.
And then that very first night in the hall of
the sanitary, a sound.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Think ye, yeah, never, never, never never.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I rested the phone quickly. I knew that I had
to call Lamont Cranston at once. He was the only
one that I could say.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Don't answer that, Lamont.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I know it'll be someone who give an excuse for
not taking me to the lecture that Mark would be
the neatest pick of the week. Knows that's luck. I'd
better answer hello, Yes, yes, Terry, how are you?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Where are you gonna?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Terry? Why are you sure? I see? Yes? I know
what the place is? All right, Terry, I'll be right up.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
What's the trouble?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I was telling me some someone has just been murdered
the sanitarium? Come on, darling, let's go up there once.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
You know, mister Gray answering when you're a first telling
me that I'm thinking you of might camp the house
up to Hodgson. I am thinking of only a one
house which is up Dodgson. And this house is not
a house which I am fond of. Indeed, on a
kind of bars which is on the window.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
As I know sef you turn left in this drive?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Hey, yes, old a man?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Is that the sanitarium up there on the hill?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Shee?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Is a grim looking place, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Old stone walls, high turk.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Almost looks like a person.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
The house to which I'm a firing as a person. Also,
although it ain't the.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Same house center, you'd better stop yestreet, Hey, Yes, why
aren't you going right.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Up the door.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
No, tell you will meet us to the cylind door.
He doesn't want anyone to know we're coming here.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Do you really think that the murder's been committed here, Donnie?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I don't know, Margot. The whole thing may be a
wild goose chase. Young Terry's in a highly nervous conditions,
and I do think it's worth investigation.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Uh you wait, history me ah, and I'm keep them
beside me. My jack can just in case, just in case.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Come on, the whole place is shorter than dark. Well
it's quite later enough.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Yeah, but you think of why what's that? What?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
The cook figure that came into the shadow?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yes, I see Margaret looks very much like Terry's uncle,
old than you know. Yes, both he and doctor Norton
are old friends of mine.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
He's gone now.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I don't know what he's doing here. Oh this must
be the sell audoritary mentioned. He should be rising the
sign that you remind. Yes, I have miss Laine with me.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I see comment.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Thought you what'd your step up?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I don't know, Terry? What is all you got to
be quiet?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Please?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Murder is still in the house, perhaps even at this
very minute.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
He's listening to my conversation.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What murder? Who you talking about?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
We'll stop here.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Now do you see that?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Uh? Yes, that leads to the operating room. In that
room is the body of the woman in murder? How
do you know they took it there a few minutes ago?
Who who are they? My uncle and doctor Norton? And
now what day? Uncle?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
We talk? Yes, look, Terry, how do you know that
the murder has been committed?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, I I that's not all that song?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You actually see it done?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Oh no, I didn't will then, But I did hear
something weird music and a mind of key, accompanied by
the uneven thump of a cripple walking away. When the
music reached the crescendo, the woman screamed, and then she
was found dead. Who's doing an elderly tation?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Here is the sanitary? But who would kill her?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
What's the movement? I have a theory about that too.
In fact, it's more than a theory. That old lady
who just died was a very wealthy woman. My uncle
handles all of her investments. In fact, every one of
them in the sanitarium is a person of wealth, and
all of them are friends.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Of my uncle and doctor North. Not accusing them of
murder too, Why not?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Why they got me here?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
They get me out of the way.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That's why I'm just one of the hand picked victims.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But they're not getting me to hear me. Why for young.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Mart upstairs room easily take something to make him sleep? No,
I want to know.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I want to know what that music was that I heard.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Please too me. You want me to help, you must
go along with Margot. I want to investigate a few
things here by myself. This way, get the minute.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What are you going to do.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm going to pay visits of that operating room, Margot,
as the Shadow tell you, examine the body completely, doctors, Yes,
believe me, when the corner arrives, he'll find nothing wrong.
(15:15):
You're sure of that, Yes, yes, I am. But what
can we do about Harry? Frankly, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
The boy must be taken care of.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Must your pardon my including on your private conversation? Gentlemen?
Why where are you? I'm called the shadow? Gentlemen, shadow
you've heard of me? Perhaps, yes, yes, yes, of course
you must know that although I stand here beside you,
you cannot see me. My hypnotic power. I prodded your mind.
(15:46):
Why are you here? I am seeking information, gentlemen, information
about the death of that woman whose body lies on
the table before you, where there is no intimating beginning. No,
how did she die? We can't tell that until the
coroner arrives. It couldn't have been murdered, for it, doctor murder.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Just before her death? Did you? Many fans hear music?
Weird music in the sound of a cripple walking wid nothing.
Why you're so anxious to get rid of young Kerry Mason. Yes,
now you say the boy must be taken care of.
I didn't live that way. Those were your words, gentlemen.
Do just let me warn you, I'm very interested in
(16:30):
the welfare of young Terry Mason if anything should happen
to him, anything at all. Gentlemen, I warn you you
will answer to the shadow.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
For many businessmen, a few things in life add after
more pleasure than a good.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Old fishing trip.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
There is that indescribable priller you get when your wiley
game rises to.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
The lore and strikes.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
There's the thrill of hauling.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Him in and later around the campfire as you pry
the day is catch. There's the fun of telling your
pals how the big one got away. Yes, fishing's a
grand sports, and chances are you.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Want to do more and more of it and the
years roll on.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Of course, more fishing means you'll need more leisure time,
and more leisure time costs for money. The best play
in the world to guarantee yourself money for any reason
in the future is to save now through United States
Savings bonds. But as swell investments they are, it only
takes ten years for each three dollars you invest to
grow at afore try and match that. Besides, United States

Savings bonds make it so easy to save. Just buy
a bond yourself each payday at any banker post office
or get on the payroll savings plan. Either way, your
money adds up fast and you hardly miss it. Folks,
back your future by saving now for a happy tomorrow.

Media where the jack can when I'm holding for.

Not at twenty bucks don't worry. I'll ignore it.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
I'm referring that you would rather referring to it in
my accountant paper, popt Okay, So what did I answer it?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Well?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I went into that operating room and found the Parry's
uncle and doctor Norton were examining the corpse of the
old woman who died. I saw no evidence of violence.
Both men swore she'd been a natural death.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Can you think it was just plays? No?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I don't want to say this point just what I do.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Think the pay much as.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I do.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
But then what are you supposed to do?

you're verging on a nervous breakdown and gain admits to
the sanitarium. Is a patient, all right?

But how did one inquire and have a breakdown?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
How supports the cabby take these turns? I'm not a
bad gain No, seriously, MARKO, I do this myself. Only
doctor nortontaries until both know.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Are you quite comfortable, miss Lame? Oh yes, yes, thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well there's record right above your bed if you wish
to ring.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yet I know, I know you told me that.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Well, I'll just open your windows. Put out your life there.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Now, try to get a good night. Try good night,
good night, good night. Mm hm. Try to get a
good night too. That's fine, Well I can try.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
What's that night?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah, it doesn't work. Lights have been cut off, I

Speaker 2 (20:48):

Speaker 6 (20:50):

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Going to try to.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Oh you frightened?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Sorry with me to the cellar?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
What the killers? Luci again?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Brgle you val of mind? What are you doing? I
was outside keeping Walter and I heard the scream. First
I thought it might have been used.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
No, I'm all right, thank carry here.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I think the murderer struck again. Yes, and just the
way the terry describes the way is it the.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I don't know. But there was one unusual thing that
miss Lane didn't n the foots that seemed to be
coming down a staircase, and yet there are no stairs
in that wing of the house. Everything else, yes, there
is about twenty five minutes ago, I heard the house
ball wing. I listened in on the extension in my room,
and I heard my uncle tell doctor Norton that he'd
(21:46):
be over his short.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yes, i'd always got to drive in.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Well, there's.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Someone next doing it. Sounds like I'm doctor, there's the
latest victims body on there? A favorite once with the
room before you're miss, I'll be right with the shadow.
Is going to be another call in the operating room.
I'm trying to unravels.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
See here, old man, I do think this thing is
going too far.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Doctor. You promised me that we'd see this through together.
I know, I know, but the second effort too much.
I should say that's understatement, Doctor Norton. Shadow again, Yes, gentlemen,
this time I shan't be as lenient with you. The
body on that table should be examined by me, not you. Doctor.
You fool the police with your first murder. You do
(22:47):
the same with this second one.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Are you accusing of killing?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I am hello? What's this step over here? Gentlemen? That's it?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Now?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Examine that mark behind the patient's left ear.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Looked up.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
He's right that tricornered puncture was the cause of this
woman's death. Then it was murder. So you will agree
with me at last, But you don't think that we
that we children. I'm not sure yet. I want you
both to go to doctor Norton's study. Do not leave
there until the shadow call.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You will.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I can think right up your room, the murder is
about to strike again. Yes, something that reason believe that
you've been selected as his next victim.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Who is it?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Slap up?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Oh, I'm so glad of you.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Don't you like quickly?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Wouldn't have doctors? Oh? Wout like the moon. You'll see purpose.
They called you on the household, Marger because I knew
the murder would be listening in. Then, through his fear
of my annoying his identity, he'll pick this time to
try to kill us both.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Who is this murder?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm not mistaken. It'll be a long, black, highly poisonous snake.
He's a tricorner mark and his victim.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh got me quietly, he's dying. The snake maybe in
the room now ready to strike. You've got to listen
for her.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I got him.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Son, come into that window. I guess I closed the
eye just in time.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Of body and tool.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yes, well, that takes Oh that somewhere, no darling, only
the instrument of death. Our murderer should be paying us
a call in a moment to add the final macab
touch to what he expects has been a double killing
this time. Yes, then stand agin the wall.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
It sounds again, depending to say, and yet there.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Are no story speak to watch that panel on the wall.
You see so long?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
While you got him the mark, you've got him.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yes, you'll play a different tune this time. Put on
the light bunker. H there's our murderer.
Speaker 3 (25:39):

Isn't human? Mardle, that's a mask, warned to hide his
true identity. I'll take it off.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
There for the money.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Well that's just about end my story.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
But you can see what a mess I almost got
Lamart and miss Lane into.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Fortunately for them, they found out the murder and time.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
This killer's motive was a familiar one, revenge, trying to
implicate those he thought it wrong, as you probably already deduced.
The club foot with the disguise and the weird music
came from a strange oboe like instrument that he used
to hypnotize the snake yes, he thought he was being
very smart, but well, right on down the line, it's.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Been pretty well proven that the smart guy in the
long run gets just what he DIDs. No time to
go try. Oh yeah, I didn't realize that was so long.

Law and orders in reality, Lamon Crampston, wealthy young man
about town. Years ago in the Orient, Crampson learned a
strange and mysterious secret, the hypnotic power to cloud men's
minds so they cannot see him. Cranston's friend and companion,
belovely Margot Lane, is the only person who knows to
whom the voice of the invisible shadow belongs. Today's drama
(02:32):
Death in a Minor.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Key, Death in a Minor see.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You know?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
To me, that expression brings back the memory of a
series of weird, eerie musical notes in a minor Seed
that had a tragic theory on my life. Funny, isn't
it how all of us recall a certain sound that
we had, so we ate our minds with a strange,
indeterminate feeling of uneasy or fear.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Like.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, like the cry of a coyote as a silhouette
against the night's or the wild shriek of a siren
as an ambulance catapulted through the city's darkened streets. And
then there's even the sound of a distant train for
so punctuating the evening, still bringing with it that lost,
empty sensation of being all alone in a strange, lonesome
(03:34):
world around. Huh, I thought, I just happened to think
all of those sounds that I described the night's sound.
I guess that does have significance too, because the night
is well. Night is a time for fear. And it
(03:54):
was at night too that those notes in a minor
key were heard, thank you, because it was supping played
on a strange instrument, and if they came closer, you
heard uneven heavy bootist steps. That sounds a louder now,
(04:17):
the footsteps.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Nearer nearer, nearer nearer.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Well, I seem to be getting a hit of my story.
It's one that I think will interest you, so if
you'd like me to pass it on, suppose I start
at the beginning. My name is Terry Mason. My mother
and father died in an accident when I was twelve
and I was brought up by an only uncle. My
story really begins down in Santa Domingo, where I spent
two years supervising one of the family plantations. Well, Santa
(04:53):
Domingo was all right, but believe you me, I was
a very happy guy when the day finally arrived for
me to boy the ship to return to the States.
The main reason for that happiness was well, because I
was in love. Yeah, not only in love, but on
my way to get married.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, the girl was Barbara Norton, So you can imagine
how anxious I was for that boat to get to
New York and get their fans.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I got to New York, all right, And the following day,
in a little church downtown.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Do you, Barbara Norton, take this man to be your
lawful widded husband.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I do, I do. Yeah, it was a beautiful ceremony,
I guess. But I wasn't the man who married Barbara Norton.
What happened, Well, there were probably a dozen reasons. Let's
just say that two years was too long for it
(06:02):
to wait. Well, a thing like that pretty tough to take.
All my hopes and dreams of a future were wrapped
up in Barbara then all of a sudden boom, there's nothing.
After she was gone, there was only one thing to do,
try to forget, to lose myself in bright lights, music,
in the gay whirl of the city's night spots. When
(06:25):
one place would close, I dig up another. My favorite
hangout was a sky room. Of course, I know I
shouldn't have gone there because everyone knew me, But I
just liked the idea of kicking it around forty stories
above the ground.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I never took a.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Table and sat at the bar and listened hazily to
the jumble of conversation around.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Get it that tomorrow, not getting the line.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I'm having so much fun to watch you.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Oh, Sully, you see that young man sitting at the bar,
you know, even staring at you for the.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Past ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Hey, wait a minute, I believe I know him. Of course,
that's young Terry Mason Sake. I haven't seen him in
the years. Well, if he plan ask him your mind, No, no,
I wish you would, very hey, Verry, Yeah, oh, come.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
On over, if he can make it.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
He almost landed.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
On that table.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Hello, Terry, I'm glad to see.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
How are you in the mild? Fine?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Thank you? Well, This is miss Lane, Jerry, how do
you do?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Tell me where have you been all these years?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Your Santa to Mingo plantations stuff? Two years of it?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
They got better up and came back. Huh are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
By?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
What do you mean? You know why I came back?
I pay back? Don't there?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You've seen miss Lane? That's Cranston, always the gentleman. Well,
I tell you my friend, I came back to get married.
But you want to know what happened? I was children?
Oh that's there? Was I you waiting at the church?
Come on, let's have it. Who was the girl? Barbara Norton? Yes,
(08:08):
I know, nice kid, nice kid, good to her parents.
Woman of a word.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Too, yeah, woman of a word? Just what happened there?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I was away too long? That's the story they give me.
I was away too long. But that isn't the real story.
And that's by a long shot. They're all working together
on this thing. They're working against me.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Who's working together my uncle Barbara.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
And her father, doctor Norton. I don't understand my uncle
controls my inheritance Lamont. Today I learned that he and
doctor Norton were planning to confine me in the doctor's
private sanitarium. What do you think of that?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Well, now, maybe they're doing it for your own good.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Oh sure, just like Barbara married somebody else for my
own good. Oh no, no, sir, they're all working together.
They want that inheritance, and if they get me to
that sanitarium, they know they'll have Where is his place
that the Hudson used to be our family home?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Terry, I think you're putting too much stress on his
bull thing.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Well, March, you've got to believe if they confine me
in that place, I'll never come out alive. Well, in
spite of all I could do, they put me in
the sanitarium the next day. It's for your own good, Terry,
(09:28):
they kept telling. Well, yeah, what they really meant was
that it was for their own good. Well. I kept
my eyes in ears open, waiting, waiting for something to happen.
And then that very first night in the hall of
the sanitary, a sound.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Think ye, yeah, never, never, never never.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I rested the phone quickly. I knew that I had
to call Lamont Cranston at once. He was the only
one that I could say.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Don't answer that, Lamont.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I know it'll be someone who give an excuse for
not taking me to the lecture that Mark would be
the neatest pick of the week. Knows that's luck. I'd
better answer hello, Yes, yes, Terry, how are you?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Where are you gonna?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Terry? Why are you sure? I see? Yes? I know
what the place is? All right, Terry, I'll be right up.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
What's the trouble?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I was telling me some someone has just been murdered
the sanitarium? Come on, darling, let's go up there once.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
You know, mister Gray answering when you're a first telling
me that I'm thinking you of might camp the house
up to Hodgson. I am thinking of only a one
house which is up Dodgson. And this house is not
a house which I am fond of. Indeed, on a
kind of bars which is on the window.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
As I know sef you turn left in this drive?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Hey, yes, old a man?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Is that the sanitarium up there on the hill?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Shee?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Is a grim looking place, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Old stone walls, high turk.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Almost looks like a person.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
The house to which I'm a firing as a person. Also,
although it ain't the.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Same house center, you'd better stop yestreet, Hey, Yes, why
aren't you going right.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Up the door.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
No, tell you will meet us to the cylind door.
He doesn't want anyone to know we're coming here.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Do you really think that the murder's been committed here, Donnie?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I don't know, Margot. The whole thing may be a
wild goose chase. Young Terry's in a highly nervous conditions,
and I do think it's worth investigation.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Uh you wait, history me ah, and I'm keep them
beside me. My jack can just in case, just in case.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Come on, the whole place is shorter than dark. Well
it's quite later enough.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Yeah, but you think of why what's that? What?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
The cook figure that came into the shadow?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yes, I see Margaret looks very much like Terry's uncle,
old than you know. Yes, both he and doctor Norton
are old friends of mine.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
He's gone now.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I don't know what he's doing here. Oh this must
be the sell audoritary mentioned. He should be rising the
sign that you remind. Yes, I have miss Laine with me.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I see comment.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Thought you what'd your step up?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I don't know, Terry? What is all you got to
be quiet?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Please?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Murder is still in the house, perhaps even at this
very minute.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
He's listening to my conversation.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
What murder? Who you talking about?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
We'll stop here.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Now do you see that?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Uh? Yes, that leads to the operating room. In that
room is the body of the woman in murder? How
do you know they took it there a few minutes ago?
Who who are they? My uncle and doctor Norton? And
now what day? Uncle?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
We talk? Yes, look, Terry, how do you know that
the murder has been committed?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, I I that's not all that song?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
You actually see it done?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Oh no, I didn't will then, But I did hear
something weird music and a mind of key, accompanied by
the uneven thump of a cripple walking away. When the
music reached the crescendo, the woman screamed, and then she
was found dead. Who's doing an elderly tation?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Here is the sanitary? But who would kill her?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
What's the movement? I have a theory about that too.
In fact, it's more than a theory. That old lady
who just died was a very wealthy woman. My uncle
handles all of her investments. In fact, every one of
them in the sanitarium is a person of wealth, and
all of them are friends.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Of my uncle and doctor North. Not accusing them of
murder too, Why not?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Why they got me here?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
They get me out of the way.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
That's why I'm just one of the hand picked victims.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But they're not getting me to hear me. Why for young.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Mart upstairs room easily take something to make him sleep? No,
I want to know.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I want to know what that music was that I heard.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Please too me. You want me to help, you must
go along with Margot. I want to investigate a few
things here by myself. This way, get the minute.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
What are you going to do.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm going to pay visits of that operating room, Margot,
as the Shadow tell you, examine the body completely, doctors, Yes,
believe me, when the corner arrives, he'll find nothing wrong.
(15:15):
You're sure of that, Yes, yes, I am. But what
can we do about Harry? Frankly, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
The boy must be taken care of.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Must your pardon my including on your private conversation? Gentlemen?
Why where are you? I'm called the shadow? Gentlemen, shadow
you've heard of me? Perhaps, yes, yes, yes, of course
you must know that although I stand here beside you,
you cannot see me. My hypnotic power. I prodded your mind.
(15:46):
Why are you here? I am seeking information, gentlemen, information
about the death of that woman whose body lies on
the table before you, where there is no intimating beginning. No,
how did she die? We can't tell that until the
coroner arrives. It couldn't have been murdered, for it, doctor murder.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Just before her death? Did you? Many fans hear music?
Weird music in the sound of a cripple walking wid nothing.
Why you're so anxious to get rid of young Kerry Mason. Yes,
now you say the boy must be taken care of.
I didn't live that way. Those were your words, gentlemen.
Do just let me warn you, I'm very interested in
(16:30):
the welfare of young Terry Mason if anything should happen
to him, anything at all. Gentlemen, I warn you you
will answer to the shadow.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
For many businessmen, a few things in life add after
more pleasure than a good.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Old fishing trip.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
There is that indescribable priller you get when your wiley
game rises to.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
The lore and strikes.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
There's the thrill of hauling.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Him in and later around the campfire as you pry
the day is catch. There's the fun of telling your
pals how the big one got away. Yes, fishing's a
grand sports, and chances are you.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Want to do more and more of it and the
years roll on.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Of course, more fishing means you'll need more leisure time,
and more leisure time costs for money. The best play
in the world to guarantee yourself money for any reason
in the future is to save now through United States
Savings bonds. But as swell investments they are, it only
takes ten years for each three dollars you invest to
grow at afore try and match that. Besides, United States
(17:37):
Savings bonds make it so easy to save. Just buy
a bond yourself each payday at any banker post office
or get on the payroll savings plan. Either way, your
money adds up fast and you hardly miss it. Folks,
back your future by saving now for a happy tomorrow.
Save today, buy and hold United State Savings bomb All
(18:03):
back to the shadow, ready to lease, reb hopping mess the.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Grass and I asked you should ignore paying any attention
that taxi.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Media where the jack can when I'm holding for.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
My protection slipped and fell against it?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Not at twenty bucks don't worry. I'll ignore it.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
I'm referring that you would rather referring to it in
my accountant paper, popt Okay, So what did I answer it?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Well?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I went into that operating room and found the Parry's
uncle and doctor Norton were examining the corpse of the
old woman who died. I saw no evidence of violence.
Both men swore she'd been a natural death.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Can you think it was just plays? No?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I don't want to say this point just what I do.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Think the pay much as.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I do.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
But then what are you supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Isn't going to go anew for help? Time?
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Need help her?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I want you to go to doctor Norton's office, pretend
you're verging on a nervous breakdown and gain admits to
the sanitarium. Is a patient, all right?
Speaker 6 (19:15):
But how did one inquire and have a breakdown?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
How supports the cabby take these turns? I'm not a
bad gain No, seriously, MARKO, I do this myself. Only
doctor nortontaries until both know.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
And what do you say for sure?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
But you're a good girl. I'm seen the doctor first
thing tomorrow and gain admissions for the sanitarium. No later
than tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Are you quite comfortable, miss Lame? Oh yes, yes, thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well there's record right above your bed if you wish
to ring.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yet I know, I know you told me that.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Well, I'll just open your windows. Put out your life there.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Now, try to get a good night. Try good night,
good night, good night. Mm hm. Try to get a
good night too. That's fine, Well I can try.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
What's that night?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Yeah, it doesn't work. Lights have been cut off, I
mean coming door? Who is that?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
What's hat to me?
Speaker 6 (20:50):
Now?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Don't have any counts in.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Going to try to.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Oh you frightened?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Sorry with me to the cellar?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
What the killers? Luci again?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Brgle you val of mind? What are you doing? I
was outside keeping Walter and I heard the scream. First
I thought it might have been used.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
No, I'm all right, thank carry here.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I think the murderer struck again. Yes, and just the
way the terry describes the way is it the.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I don't know. But there was one unusual thing that
miss Lane didn't n the foots that seemed to be
coming down a staircase, and yet there are no stairs
in that wing of the house. Everything else, yes, there
is about twenty five minutes ago, I heard the house
ball wing. I listened in on the extension in my room,
and I heard my uncle tell doctor Norton that he'd
(21:46):
be over his short.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yes, i'd always got to drive in.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Well, there's.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Someone next doing it. Sounds like I'm doctor, there's the
latest victims body on there? A favorite once with the
room before you're miss, I'll be right with the shadow.
Is going to be another call in the operating room.
I'm trying to unravels.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
See here, old man, I do think this thing is
going too far.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Doctor. You promised me that we'd see this through together.
I know, I know, but the second effort too much.
I should say that's understatement, Doctor Norton. Shadow again, Yes, gentlemen,
this time I shan't be as lenient with you. The
body on that table should be examined by me, not you. Doctor.
You fool the police with your first murder. You do
(22:47):
the same with this second one.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Are you accusing of killing?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I am hello? What's this step over here? Gentlemen? That's it?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Now?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Examine that mark behind the patient's left ear.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Looked up.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
He's right that tricornered puncture was the cause of this
woman's death. Then it was murder. So you will agree
with me at last, But you don't think that we
that we children. I'm not sure yet. I want you
both to go to doctor Norton's study. Do not leave
there until the shadow call.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You will.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I can think right up your room, the murder is
about to strike again. Yes, something that reason believe that
you've been selected as his next victim.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Who is it?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Slap up?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Oh, I'm so glad of you.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Don't you like quickly?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Wouldn't have doctors? Oh? Wout like the moon. You'll see purpose.
They called you on the household, Marger because I knew
the murder would be listening in. Then, through his fear
of my annoying his identity, he'll pick this time to
try to kill us both.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Who is this murder?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm not mistaken. It'll be a long, black, highly poisonous snake.
He's a tricorner mark and his victim.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh got me quietly, he's dying. The snake maybe in
the room now ready to strike. You've got to listen
for her.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I got him.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Son, come into that window. I guess I closed the
eye just in time.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Of body and tool.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yes, well, that takes Oh that somewhere, no darling, only
the instrument of death. Our murderer should be paying us
a call in a moment to add the final macab
touch to what he expects has been a double killing
this time. Yes, then stand agin the wall.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
It sounds again, depending to say, and yet there.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Are no story speak to watch that panel on the wall.
You see so long?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
While you got him the mark, you've got him.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yes, you'll play a different tune this time. Put on
the light bunker. H there's our murderer.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Oh oh that's fake, those long sayings, and my popping eyes.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Isn't human? Mardle, that's a mask, warned to hide his
true identity. I'll take it off.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
There for the money.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Well that's just about end my story.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
But you can see what a mess I almost got
Lamart and miss Lane into.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Fortunately for them, they found out the murder and time.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
This killer's motive was a familiar one, revenge, trying to
implicate those he thought it wrong, as you probably already deduced.
The club foot with the disguise and the weird music
came from a strange oboe like instrument that he used
to hypnotize the snake yes, he thought he was being
very smart, but well, right on down the line, it's.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Been pretty well proven that the smart guy in the
long run gets just what he DIDs. No time to
go try. Oh yeah, I didn't realize that was so long.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I'm just telling these people a story, not a bad
one either.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
If I do, say, tell myself, you're betta come along.

I hereby pronounced Terry Mason, legally dead.
