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.

I've checked on those deaths and all of them were
listed as having died from natural causes.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
If you can call bad liquor a natural cause of death.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I'm afraid your mistaken, Commissioner, and I think I can
prove it because I'm next on the list to be
killed as they were. What are you talking about, Commissioner.
Give me twenty four hours to set a little trap.
I'll get the killer for you, using myself as bait is.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Throw yourself, precious, What.
Speaker 12 (20:53):
Are you gonna do?
Speaker 5 (20:54):

Speaker 5 (22:31):
Of the finest in the world. Here, here are some

Speaker 12 (22:46):
He won't charge your sendpart, will you, professor?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You mean you give me one free?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Ladly?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Gladly?
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Which would you like?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Let's see? Oh? I like this one with the swords
and the snakes.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Oh how about this for friendship? The class hands over
the sheet.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
No, no, I think I like this one better. That
scune crossbone.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
It's not very appropriated it. How about the friendship design?
Speaker 12 (23:13):
Brother?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
It's just the right size French?
Speaker 12 (23:17):
Okay, okay, can you cheer around.
Speaker 11 (23:19):
Little flipper hus get it over quicker nervous as a cat.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Now where would you like it, mister flipper?
Speaker 9 (23:25):
I like it?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
How about right across my chest here?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Now we usually reserve that space for something much bigger.
Now right here on your arm would just fit.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Here from the inside of my art.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Don't show so well there and me the needle quickly,
minute turn it on. Now this won't hurt much for all, Flipper.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That won't hurt much either. Let me try the eagle
on you first, for friendship's sake.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
No, don't stop him.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Minute, get over him.
Speaker 12 (23:55):
You're crazy bottle.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
You plight a professor dying up blood poisoning like the
other bumbs. You ain't, no, clever, warn't your professor. You've
got them drunk, offered them the friendship design free and
tattooed them with poisoning.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Lamont.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
He saw the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I think you have all the evidence you need now, Commissioner,
but you won't have me.
Speaker 12 (24:12):
He's grabbed the bottle of poisoning.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
He's taking it Forgetter's to ate me.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
I'm dying.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
No, you give me my skin. I'm leaving this world.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
That's right, Professor, but not just now.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Huh day, farewell to all my friends, stay farewell.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Come on, professor, get up off the floor.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
Huh lemon, he's followed the poisoning.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
All he swallowed was colored water, Margot, what I switched
the poison bottle earlier this evening.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Well, I do need to relax. That you that excitement, darling,
But I wish we hadn't come back here to Larry Saloon, magu.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I couldn't very well go to any of our usual
spot dressed in these cares.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
No, it is true, then, the month that Mike was
completely innocent of what was going.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
On, Yes, Margot, Many, the Professor and Smoky are the
guilty ones.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Smokie found out which of the beggars carried their life
savings around on the peasant and told many Is that it.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yes, and seeing the professor got them drunk into the
studio and offered them a free tattoo samples, just as.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
They did you. But how did you guess about the
tattoo marks causing the death story?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Well, I saw a soft Shoe's body and noticed his
friendship tattoo. When I saw the photographs of the others,
I noticed they had the same design on the same place.
All the tattoos were done on the inner arm, over
the largest vein, so the poison would carried directly into
the bloodstream.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
But didn't the commissioner say they all died of.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Natural course, if you can call bad liquor a natural cause,
that's what he said. Marco Hawkins and Many were smart
enough to disguise the poison with all the rotten liquor
they could get into them.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I see, well, I'm glad it's all over.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I am too, Margo. From now on, no more masquerading
or makeup. They just get you into trouble.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Ain't.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
But ain't I seen you in this bar before? Ain't
you the guide? A flippy right?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Ah, that's okay, soft shoe. We all make mistakes. They

Model, there's a bar up ahead, Larry, Saloon, go then
call the police. I'll wait here with the body, right, John,
be sure to ask the commissioner Western the way we

Speaker 3 (04:57):
The mod, why on earth did you insist upon coming
down here to the morning, what commissioner with I.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Want to have a look at soft she was body?
Margot Early is satisfied.
Speaker 9 (05:04):
Now on a month out of mark of violence on him.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
But he did say it was murder, Commissioner.
Speaker 9 (05:08):
The bomb's always blamed somebody else for whatever happens to her. Margo,
any trouble, even dead.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
He said there were other murders in that flophouse. Ten
in the past two months. He said he had proof
it was murder.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
Maybe he had a fight with the owner and got
thrown out. Why did he get the owner in trouble?
They were a tricky a lot. They all live on fight.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Drink yourself. She was afraid of something real if you'd
seen him pretty much.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Where do we get the coroner's report? And we'll see
and i'd drive you a Margot home.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You can take Margaret with you. I think I'll try
and find that flophouse. Soft Shoe told us about Darling.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Why aren't you wait till we kee at the corner?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Got a funny feeling that soft she was telling the truth.
I know, Commissioner, you think I can't resist playing detective,
especially in this get up.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
I understand the mat and if anything should come to
light and you need help, and he can count on me.
By the way, what did you say was the name
of that place?

He kicked off ten minutes ago, right in the street.
Speaker 5 (06:36):

Speaker 10 (06:39):
If police pick him up his body, I mean eh,
I'll call him in the morning, see that he gets
a decent burial anyway.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Why soft shoe special friendly? No?
Speaker 10 (06:48):
I just feel sorry for him, that's all. I try
to see that all the bums around here get a
decent burial, got a soft heart?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Mate, You're in a soft hit too, I guess.
Speaker 10 (06:57):
But the only time these poor bombs look peaceful and
happiest when they're laying in the coffins.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Did Mike, you gotta time.

brought me down here in his cab.

home for some reason, back to.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
That floor post that was where he was nearly killed.
Why would he go back there?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Ball play, I don't know. We must have had a
very good reason. It might be the reason behind all
the murders at the graveyard. Muggle, quiet not, darling. See

Shadow? What kind of a gag is this? Where are you?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Shadows everywhere and nowhere, Minnie? Perhaps the shadow was here
when Smokey died. Perhaps he knows that you killed Smokey.
Speaker 11 (17:03):
I had to do it.
Speaker 12 (17:05):
He got too smart, he knew too much for his
own good.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yes, many, But there's someone else still alive who knows
your secret.

Listen to me, mad terror of your time, Braine.
Speaker 11 (18:09):
A voice just come to me and told me somebody
knows we killed them beggars and stole them money.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
A voice. Oh come now, my rose, petrol.
Speaker 11 (18:16):
Okay, I heard a voice. I found my bottles broken

Speaker 1 (20:17):
I've checked on those deaths and all of them were
listed as having died from natural causes.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
If you can call bad liquor a natural cause of death.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I'm afraid your mistaken, Commissioner, and I think I can
prove it because I'm next on the list to be
killed as they were. What are you talking about, Commissioner.
Give me twenty four hours to set a little trap.
I'll get the killer for you, using myself as bait is.

scune crossbone.

Speaker 9 (23:25):
I like it?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
How about right across my chest here?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Now we usually reserve that space for something much bigger.
Now right here on your arm would just fit.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Here from the inside of my art.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Don't show so well there and me the needle quickly,
minute turn it on. Now this won't hurt much for all, Flipper.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That won't hurt much either. Let me try the eagle
on you first, for friendship's sake.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
No, don't stop him.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Minute, get over him.
Speaker 12 (23:55):
You're crazy bottle.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
You plight a professor dying up blood poisoning like the
other bumbs. You ain't, no, clever, warn't your professor. You've
got them drunk, offered them the friendship design free and
tattooed them with poisoning.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Lamont.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
He saw the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I think you have all the evidence you need now, Commissioner,
but you won't have me.
Speaker 12 (24:12):
He's grabbed the bottle of poisoning.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
He's taking it Forgetter's to ate me.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
I'm dying.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
No, you give me my skin. I'm leaving this world.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
That's right, Professor, but not just now.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Huh day, farewell to all my friends, stay farewell.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Come on, professor, get up off the floor.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
Huh lemon, he's followed the poisoning.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
All he swallowed was colored water, Margot, what I switched
the poison bottle earlier this evening.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Well, I do need to relax. That you that excitement, darling,
But I wish we hadn't come back here to Larry Saloon, magu.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I couldn't very well go to any of our usual
spot dressed in these cares.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
No, it is true, then, the month that Mike was
completely innocent of what was going.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
On, Yes, Margot, Many, the Professor and Smoky are the
guilty ones.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Smokie found out which of the beggars carried their life
savings around on the peasant and told many Is that it.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yes, and seeing the professor got them drunk into the
studio and offered them a free tattoo samples, just as.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
They did you. But how did you guess about the
tattoo marks causing the death story?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Well, I saw a soft Shoe's body and noticed his
friendship tattoo. When I saw the photographs of the others,
I noticed they had the same design on the same place.
All the tattoos were done on the inner arm, over
the largest vein, so the poison would carried directly into
the bloodstream.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
But didn't the commissioner say they all died of.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Natural course, if you can call bad liquor a natural cause,
that's what he said. Marco Hawkins and Many were smart
enough to disguise the poison with all the rotten liquor
they could get into them.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I see, well, I'm glad it's all over.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I am too, Margo. From now on, no more masquerading
or makeup. They just get you into trouble.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Ain't.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
But ain't I seen you in this bar before? Ain't
you the guide? A flippy right?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Yes?
Speaker 12 (26:02):
Shining?
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Waitit no?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
No, My name is Leman Crenston. I never heard of
this slipper and never heard of him before in my life.
