Speaker 1 (00:19):
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
The Shadow lows.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
The Shadow, mysterious character who furthers the forces of law
and order is, in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man
about town.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
The Shadow uses his hypnotic power.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
To cloud men's minds so that they cannot see him.
Cranston's and companion, the lovely Margot Lane, is the only
person who knows to whom the unseen voice of the
Shadow belongs.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Today's story The inventor of Death.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Hold, this is really fun.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I thought you might enjoyed, Margot, and you asked me to.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Come to an exhibit at the Hall of Science. I
began trying to think of fast excuses about sick grandmothers.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
Yes, I pictured a lot.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Of stuffy old men mumbling in their beards about relativity
or something.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I see.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
This is really exciting.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Look what's that over there?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well, they have a sign of let's find not.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Demonstrating the scientific marvel of the age. The mechanical man.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Mechanical man, that's what it says.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It walks, talks, answers questions. Although made of metal, it
can duplicate many things that man can do. Come on, Margaret,
we can miss.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
This, ol Lamont.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
You've seen Roberts before.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yes, but you never know when one may be different,
more advanced.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
I'd like to bet this one's no different from the rest.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Well, you thank your pardon.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
I couldn't help overhearing what you were saying just now.
I hope that you'll forgive my intruding. But I think
if you do go in, you will find that this
robot is entirely different from any that you've seen before.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Oh is it really?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You seem to know quite a lot about it?
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Well, yes I do. Was it a matter of fact
as well?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
That is?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
You see, I invented it and built it myself. Oh really,
I know I shouldn't be out here in front talking
to perfect strangers about my invention, but you see, I'm
very enthusiastic about it.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Come on, George, they're waiting for you to stop the demonstration.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Oh well, of course.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
This is my wife, mister name, and this is miss
Margot Lane. How do you do?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
How do you do?
Speaker 6 (02:48):
My name is awesome? Well aren't you coming.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
In to watch?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yes, certainly. I was trying to persuade mister Cranston to
go in anyway, wasn't a la monte I have caught.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Come right this way.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Please.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
What a little liar you are, Margo, I.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Know, isn't it awful? If you'll come through this side
door with me, I'll see that you get a good
place to watch the demonstration.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Wait, thanks very much?
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Oh pardon or here he is. Now, ladies and gentlemen,
I'd now like to present the inventor of this mechanical man,
mister George Lver.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
On the flat party. Thank you, Thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen. Before I proceed with the demonstration, I'd
like to tell you a little about this invention of mine.
This dalvanized gargantua is constructed. Is constructed on an entirely
(03:44):
new principle. He is electrically controlled and can be operated
by this small.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Box here on the table.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
But he also responds.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
To commands in the mind of the operator, rather than
to certain sounds of the human voice, as has heretofore
been the method of operations.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Now I'll bring out the big fellow and give you
a demonstrations which I think will convince you.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
That I have not exaggerated in any way.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Oh the mond, do you think such a thing as possible.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well, in the realm of science these days, Margo, anything
is possible.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I suppose so the mond didn't you know.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
It's rude to stare? Was I staring? I'm sorry? That
man over there and the crowd interests me?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Who the hunchback?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yes? You notice anything peculiar about him?
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Peculiar?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yes? I I'm speaking of his size?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Sighs.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
What do you mean? Have you ever seen a hunchback
so tall?
Speaker 8 (04:43):
I know I don't believe I have.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Now, gentlemen, I'd like you to meet my mechanical mass,
whom I have named Hammers.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Roll it right out here, if you please.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Well, speaking of being tall, look at that robe demon.
You must be at least.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
I'm now going to order Henry to step down from
this little platform that he's standing on.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Now.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
You will notice that I don't give him any particular word.
I just think the command, and Henry will obey. What
then the.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Things step pry down off the platform, just as he
said it.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
I will now ask Henry to answer a few questions.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Henry, how much is two and.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Two, four, seven and eight fifty?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Now, in case you think these answers are previously arranged,
I'll ask anybody in the audience to ask Henry.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Some question which he will answer.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Hey, I'll ask you, man, what time is it?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Hey? Twenty? Hey?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
He while the month? This is weird? How do you
think he does it the month?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
You're not listening?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Stop staring that hunt.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I'm sorry man, when I was watching his expression, just
look at him?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Why his face is all contorted in pain?
Speaker 9 (06:29):
Not pain?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Margot hate? Hate?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Why?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Well, unless I miss my guess, it's hate for your
little inventor, mister Alton.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Now I'll ask Henry to walk among you and pick
up various objects, which I will pull out from the platform. Please, please,
ladies and gentlemen, don't be alarmed.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Henry is perfectly.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Amiable and obeys my orders implicitly.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
He wouldn't harm a fly, right, may be sure, But
if that two legged tanks're gonna walk around here among us, brother,
I'm getting out.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I'm very sorry that, Louis says.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
I guess I'll have to show you that Henry is perfectly.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Harmless the mon If Henry toddles this way, harmless or not,
you'll find me joining the parade to the eggs.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
And please, please, Now you see the young.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Lady sitting on the chair at the other end of
the platform. That is my wife, who is not afraid
of Henry. Therefore, I'm going to ask him to walk over,
pick her up in his arms, and carry her back
to me, and you will find that she's none the
worse for the experience. All right, Henry, you know what
(07:43):
I want you to do.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
She has more nerves than I have.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
That robot is almost human in this reactions Mongle.
Speaker 10 (08:02):
Look that creature is picking missus Alton up out of
the chair. Oh, she looks so small and helpless. Come on,
I'm afraid.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I don't know why you should be frightened. Muggle probably
done this hundreds of times. See how he holds her
in his arms.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
That's what he's screamed to do, and now he walks
with him.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Well not, come on, nobody's done.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yes, good lord, No Henry.
Speaker 10 (08:29):
Missus Orton is struggling to get down.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
But Buggle, somebody's gone wrong.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
The machine is holding his arms about her. He CRUSH's way.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
You're telling herself, Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
You I simply got to get out of Darling. The
police have ordered us to stay here.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Mom.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
How do you suppose it could have happened.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I don't know, Margo, I don't like it. What do
you mean There's something behind all this, something.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Sinister, something perhaps for the shadow to investing.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Please don't ever mention that name in public. Oh I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I'm sure no.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
One could have overheard you think. So look behind you.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Why the hunchback? He wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I wanted to go, but I'm sure he didn't hear
I hope not.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
The mon look mechanical, man, it's moving.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
Shadow, the faintest idea, don't.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
I tell you.
Speaker 11 (09:57):
I don't care what a today.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I don't tell what anybody says. I got to do
this before it's too late.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Please let them wrong.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
Going up to the room, But what are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
We've got to get that boy out of here. Drive
a little saw, margl I think he's going to sleep.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Oh, the mother, the poor fellow.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yes, I imagine that out first.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
When they broke the machine relieved, the nervous tension seems
relaxed enough.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Now, what a shock it must have been to him
to see his wife killed in such a horrible accident.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yes, if it was an accident.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Then you think it was murder.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I don't know maga, I I really don't know.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Look the Alton died, Elope, I think he's waiting. Now
where where am I?
Speaker 11 (11:02):
What?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
What's happened?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Now?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
We're just taking it to a place where you can
get some rest.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Uh oh, I see.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
My wife, My poor Why easy now you see, mister Alton,
You've got to help yourself at this point, myself.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
What does it matter about me, mister Olton?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Do you have any enemies, anyone who might be jealous
of you or your invention?
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Enemies? No?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
No? What?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
What?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Well?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Unless doctor Zaruga? Doctor Zaruga?
Speaker 6 (11:36):
Who's he? What?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
He's an inventor?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
He devised a radio controlled and sendury bomb, which was.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Turned down by the army a year ago.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
It was too frightful a weapon to use even in
modern warfare.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Well, what does doctor Zaruga got to do with you?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
What?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
At the time the Board of Science accepted my invention
for display, they turned down the robot invented by doctor Zaruga.
He was curious, and oh what does that matter?
Speaker 11 (12:02):
Now?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
What does anything matter?
Speaker 7 (12:04):
And why?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Was doctor Zaruga furious?
Speaker 6 (12:07):
He felt that it was being discriminated against in favor
of others whose inventions were not as good as his.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Made a scene about.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
It, then went back to his laboratory next to mine
on Providence Street and knocked himself in.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
He wouldn't see anyone for days.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I see one more question, mister Olden, this doctor Zaruga,
is he a hunchback?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
No?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
No, I I believe he was at one time a
high military officer in some European army, was distinguished by
his military bearing and piercing black eyes.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Why do you ask, oh, just an idea. I guess
it wasn't a very good idea. Welgo, see that car coming.
Get over to the right hand side of the road.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Wark the mon. Something's wrong the steering m I can't
control the car.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Put on the breach quick.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
I can't to control the lot.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
H doctor Ewn. How do you think mister Kremston is
going to live?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Sir?
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Of course I want. Of course he's going to live.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Takes more than a simple automobile smash up to permanently
damage a man with a physique of lemon Cremson, even
if he has been unconscious for twenty four hours.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
If I help him, when mister Cranston comes.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
To Ellen, see that he stays in bed and keeps
those bandages on his arm.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
It's a very good doctor in bed with avenges on them.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I'll do my bestor he good night, good night? Said Oh, uh.
Speaker 9 (13:52):
I'd better write it down so I shall forget it.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Oh, oh, it's coming true, mister Krimston's.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Uh Aaron, what happened?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
What am I doing here in bed wrapped up in
bandages like a Christmas package?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Don't you remember?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Sir?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
You've been unconscious for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
If I've behind country for twenty four hours.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I could I remember?
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Well?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Uh yes, sir, the kitzer. Well what happened? How did
I get here?
Speaker 9 (14:20):
Well, you're in bed, sir, let me say now, oh, yes,
keep in bed, bandage his armed, Keep in bed.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Then we'll stop mumbling.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
How did I get here?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Well, you were in a waltamobile accident, So yesterday your
car ran off.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
The road and overturned in a ditch or from a
bill accident, yes.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Sir, Oh yes, yes, yes, of course, and the others.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
How about ever, if you ordered frunning to the young
gentleman who is apparently riding in the car with you, sir,
I'm I'm afraid well that is dead, yes, sir, his
neck was broken in the cross.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Oh, what about miss Lane, Miss Slave?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yes, miss Laney is what about her? What happened to her?
It was miss Slave riding with you in the car.
Miss Layne writing Alan, what's happened to miss Lane? Speak up?
I don't know, sir. There was no signable of the
scene of the accident.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
The police just reported finding you on the oppo Jit, Alan,
give me my clothes.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I'm getting off.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Foots, so the doctor said in bed the tranangilations with
the doctor.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
But I've got to find out what happened to miss
Mister Cranston.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
If you go up the dishes you're in, I shan't
be responsible you.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
You're just flying in the face of providence.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Providence.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
That's it on on Providence Street.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
It's a wild hunch, but it may be a good one.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Hurry man, give me my clothes.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
It once.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
But you, yes, okay, you.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Was hoping for someone else.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Ah, yes you do, My dear Miss Layne.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Why do you keep me here locked in your laboratory?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Why don't you let me go?
Speaker 7 (15:57):
You?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
You inhumane human?
Speaker 7 (16:01):
But that uh, perhaps my character diseas you I think
you are being confused by my appearance my uh hunchback.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Oh why are you not now?
Speaker 7 (16:13):
That trump on my back contains the electrical equipment which
I not only control my own inventions, but those other
inventors who, unfortunately I'm not as brilliant.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
As I am.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Then your mother, Christian, No, now, I tricked him all
the silly fools. They wouldn't look at my inventions. So
I cause your car to crash off the road, killing
that little upstart. Often I made his robot run amok.
I forced them to kill his wife.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
You know what do you.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Think of me?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I think you're a mad man, a namiac Oh yeah,
little girl being her crush like that, oh murderer.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Ah, you still don't believe him the greatest inventure of worlds.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I'm a scene god, show.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
You what are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Why are you keeping me here?
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Because miss Lane, I ever help you make some reference
to the Shadow Shadow? Yeah, you see, I have always
wanted to meet the Shadow, meet him on my own grounds,
because the Shadow is the only man who could possibly
about unmask me. I thought perhaps if you disappeared, the
Shadow might try to rescue you.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Oh no, but.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
I see I overestimated his powers.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
The shadow has not appeared that if I miss Lane,
I am going to slightly alter my plans. I am
going to give you a treat.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
What what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (17:37):
I am going to demonstrate for you at all.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
But I have invented.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
When you have seen it, I think you will admit
that a terrible injustice has been done me.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
No, no, you will see it.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Of course you may not survive the demonstration, but that
can't be helped.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
As a matter of fact, it just as well.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You'll know too much about me. Stop stop toning.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
I keep it in a secret compound. I often this panel.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Oh and verity, Oh, how gastly.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I admit it is not a pretty sigh.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
You see, my dear, your little friend often built here
a robot for constructive uses to benefit mankind. Mine is
for destruction, weapon for war immature, A regiment of Roberts
like this marching against flash.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
And blood man.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Horrible.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
And now I will show you how he works. Robert
step fart great places. Oh oh no, no, Jude, me ah,
I want you to port to that girl. No, pick
her up?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
What delicately?
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Delicately I want her to see how gentle you can be.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Urse.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
No, no, no, you don't let it come near me.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
No a place of sound, bro not't Why shall breast
run away? The robot is so devised that elect.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Can be a living crush.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
We're following packably until he catches out, or until I
give the command to start.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Robot he here, Well, m in the laboratory.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Don run over the whole house that you like. Robot
will follow you till he tracks. That's all right, my dear,
I see you will be over very quickly.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Robot.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
No, no, no, Robert, pick her up in your arm.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
I kick. I do not like to be held in
his arms.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Do not worry.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
He won't crush you yet.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Last he will not use for some hank.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Oh she's thigh.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Let her down the robot later, leature, you will hold
her again.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
There isn't going to be any lady, doctor Sarah.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Oh you did come after all. I'm looking forward to
this meeting that you and I and my laboratory.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You expected me then, Yes, that's like a girl here.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
I knew that you would.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Come to her. I see very clever of you.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
I've been waiting to meet you for a long kind
of shadow. You need to test my powers against yours.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Just what are your powers are?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Uber?
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I am the greatest inventor in the world. I have
the greatest mind in the world.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
That's a modest estimate.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
You doubt me.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Then, perhaps when we have finished, you will things differently,
finished with what you will find out. You see that Robert,
here's my saventh, my slave, obedient to my every command.
He's not founded by human limitations. He can see you shadow.
He can see you whenever you are in this room.
He will find you. When he does, I think.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
You know what the result will be.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
What you will be crushed, crushed the bits in his arms.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
You are the young lady told.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Doctor, you've chosen a dangerous game. But let me warn
you too completely. Remember you can't talk yourself out of
this shadow.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
But find this man, rush him.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I warn you, Doctor Saruga.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
You want me at last, Shadow, you've met your match.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
What of their's man's mind against a machine.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I agree with you, Doctor Saruga, So I think we better.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Eliminate the machine called me.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
What are you thinking to do?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I'm interested in knowing what's under your cult.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Oh robot, lo but help me let me do Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Your robot doesn't move very swiftly, does he now got off, well,
an electrical control box. Oh so that's your secret, doctor.
This contraction was a hump on your back, which control.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
The other robot. The tenth affair that, Oh no, doctor.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
He'll take okay in the upper hands, and I want
to show you. Let's tell my prisoner in this room,
you can't leave here, and you won't.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Heavi leave forever.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Where are your great powers?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Now, Zaruga, I cannot break the robot my hand.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Keep away from that.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Robert Ruga came away.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I'll show you how I had to pick up this slabber. Huh,
you'll be somebody stood, not me, Not me, your fool,
it's not me.
Speaker 11 (23:10):
Let me help.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
You.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
You're feeling all right, Marco.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Well, I guess I don't think it does seem good
to be out of that place.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Yes, destroying Zeruga's robot, it's a pity.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
In a way, those mechanical gentlemen might be very serviceable.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
They were properly directed. Oh you think so?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Well, after my little experience with a doctor and his
mechanized murderer, I'll think twice in the future before I
even use an electric toaster.
Speaker 11 (23:50):
Oh.

Today's story The inventor of Death.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Hold, this is really fun.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I thought you might enjoyed, Margot, and you asked me to.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Come to an exhibit at the Hall of Science. I
began trying to think of fast excuses about sick grandmothers.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
Yes, I pictured a lot.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Of stuffy old men mumbling in their beards about relativity
or something.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I see.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
This is really exciting.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Look what's that over there?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well, they have a sign of let's find not.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Demonstrating the scientific marvel of the age. The mechanical man.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Mechanical man, that's what it says.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It walks, talks, answers questions. Although made of metal, it
can duplicate many things that man can do. Come on, Margaret,
we can miss.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
This, ol Lamont.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
You've seen Roberts before.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yes, but you never know when one may be different,
more advanced.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
I'd like to bet this one's no different from the rest.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Well, you thank your pardon.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
I couldn't help overhearing what you were saying just now.
I hope that you'll forgive my intruding. But I think
if you do go in, you will find that this
robot is entirely different from any that you've seen before.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Oh is it really?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You seem to know quite a lot about it?
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Well, yes I do. Was it a matter of fact
as well?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
That is?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
You see, I invented it and built it myself. Oh really,
I know I shouldn't be out here in front talking
to perfect strangers about my invention, but you see, I'm
very enthusiastic about it.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Come on, George, they're waiting for you to stop the demonstration.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Oh well, of course.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
This is my wife, mister name, and this is miss
Margot Lane. How do you do?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
How do you do?
Speaker 6 (02:48):
My name is awesome? Well aren't you coming.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
In to watch?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yes, certainly. I was trying to persuade mister Cranston to
go in anyway, wasn't a la monte I have caught.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Come right this way.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Please.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
What a little liar you are, Margo, I.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Know, isn't it awful? If you'll come through this side
door with me, I'll see that you get a good
place to watch the demonstration.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Wait, thanks very much?
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Oh pardon or here he is. Now, ladies and gentlemen,
I'd now like to present the inventor of this mechanical man,
mister George Lver.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
On the flat party. Thank you, Thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen. Before I proceed with the demonstration, I'd
like to tell you a little about this invention of mine.
This dalvanized gargantua is constructed. Is constructed on an entirely
(03:44):
new principle. He is electrically controlled and can be operated
by this small.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Box here on the table.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
But he also responds.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
To commands in the mind of the operator, rather than
to certain sounds of the human voice, as has heretofore
been the method of operations.
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Now I'll bring out the big fellow and give you
a demonstrations which I think will convince you.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
That I have not exaggerated in any way.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Oh the mond, do you think such a thing as possible.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well, in the realm of science these days, Margo, anything
is possible.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I suppose so the mond didn't you know.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
It's rude to stare? Was I staring? I'm sorry? That
man over there and the crowd interests me?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Who the hunchback?
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yes? You notice anything peculiar about him?
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Peculiar?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yes? I I'm speaking of his size?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Sighs.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
What do you mean? Have you ever seen a hunchback
so tall?
Speaker 8 (04:43):
I know I don't believe I have.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Now, gentlemen, I'd like you to meet my mechanical mass,
whom I have named Hammers.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Roll it right out here, if you please.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Well, speaking of being tall, look at that robe demon.
You must be at least.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
I'm now going to order Henry to step down from
this little platform that he's standing on.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Now.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
You will notice that I don't give him any particular word.
I just think the command, and Henry will obey. What
then the.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Things step pry down off the platform, just as he
said it.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
I will now ask Henry to answer a few questions.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Henry, how much is two and.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Two, four, seven and eight fifty?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Now, in case you think these answers are previously arranged,
I'll ask anybody in the audience to ask Henry.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Some question which he will answer.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Hey, I'll ask you, man, what time is it?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Hey? Twenty? Hey?
Speaker 5 (06:10):
He while the month? This is weird? How do you
think he does it the month?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
You're not listening?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Stop staring that hunt.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I'm sorry man, when I was watching his expression, just
look at him?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Why his face is all contorted in pain?
Speaker 9 (06:29):
Not pain?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Margot hate? Hate?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Why?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Well, unless I miss my guess, it's hate for your
little inventor, mister Alton.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Now I'll ask Henry to walk among you and pick
up various objects, which I will pull out from the platform. Please, please,
ladies and gentlemen, don't be alarmed.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Henry is perfectly.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Amiable and obeys my orders implicitly.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
He wouldn't harm a fly, right, may be sure, But
if that two legged tanks're gonna walk around here among us, brother,
I'm getting out.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I'm very sorry that, Louis says.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
I guess I'll have to show you that Henry is perfectly.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Harmless the mon If Henry toddles this way, harmless or not,
you'll find me joining the parade to the eggs.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
And please, please, Now you see the young.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Lady sitting on the chair at the other end of
the platform. That is my wife, who is not afraid
of Henry. Therefore, I'm going to ask him to walk over,
pick her up in his arms, and carry her back
to me, and you will find that she's none the
worse for the experience. All right, Henry, you know what
(07:43):
I want you to do.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
She has more nerves than I have.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
That robot is almost human in this reactions Mongle.
Speaker 10 (08:02):
Look that creature is picking missus Alton up out of
the chair. Oh, she looks so small and helpless. Come on,
I'm afraid.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I don't know why you should be frightened. Muggle probably
done this hundreds of times. See how he holds her
in his arms.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
That's what he's screamed to do, and now he walks
with him.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Well not, come on, nobody's done.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Yes, good lord, No Henry.
Speaker 10 (08:29):
Missus Orton is struggling to get down.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
But Buggle, somebody's gone wrong.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
The machine is holding his arms about her. He CRUSH's way.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
You're telling herself, Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
You I simply got to get out of Darling. The
police have ordered us to stay here.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Mom.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
How do you suppose it could have happened.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I don't know, Margo, I don't like it. What do
you mean There's something behind all this, something.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Sinister, something perhaps for the shadow to investing.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Please don't ever mention that name in public. Oh I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I'm sure no.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
One could have overheard you think. So look behind you.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Why the hunchback? He wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I wanted to go, but I'm sure he didn't hear
I hope not.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
The mon look mechanical, man, it's moving.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
Shadow, the faintest idea, don't.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
I tell you.
Speaker 11 (09:57):
I don't care what a today.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I don't tell what anybody says. I got to do
this before it's too late.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Please let them wrong.
Speaker 10 (10:04):
Going up to the room, But what are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
We've got to get that boy out of here. Drive
a little saw, margl I think he's going to sleep.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Oh, the mother, the poor fellow.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yes, I imagine that out first.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
When they broke the machine relieved, the nervous tension seems
relaxed enough.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Now, what a shock it must have been to him
to see his wife killed in such a horrible accident.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Yes, if it was an accident.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Then you think it was murder.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I don't know maga, I I really don't know.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Look the Alton died, Elope, I think he's waiting. Now
where where am I?
Speaker 11 (11:02):
What?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
What's happened?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Now?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
We're just taking it to a place where you can
get some rest.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Uh oh, I see.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
My wife, My poor Why easy now you see, mister Alton,
You've got to help yourself at this point, myself.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
What does it matter about me, mister Olton?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Do you have any enemies, anyone who might be jealous
of you or your invention?
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Enemies? No?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
No? What?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
What?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Well?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Unless doctor Zaruga? Doctor Zaruga?
Speaker 6 (11:36):
Who's he? What?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
He's an inventor?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
He devised a radio controlled and sendury bomb, which was.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Turned down by the army a year ago.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
It was too frightful a weapon to use even in
modern warfare.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Well, what does doctor Zaruga got to do with you?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
What?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
At the time the Board of Science accepted my invention
for display, they turned down the robot invented by doctor Zaruga.
He was curious, and oh what does that matter?
Speaker 11 (12:02):
Now?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
What does anything matter?
Speaker 7 (12:04):
And why?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Was doctor Zaruga furious?
Speaker 6 (12:07):
He felt that it was being discriminated against in favor
of others whose inventions were not as good as his.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Made a scene about.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
It, then went back to his laboratory next to mine
on Providence Street and knocked himself in.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
He wouldn't see anyone for days.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I see one more question, mister Olden, this doctor Zaruga,
is he a hunchback?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
No?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
No, I I believe he was at one time a
high military officer in some European army, was distinguished by
his military bearing and piercing black eyes.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Why do you ask, oh, just an idea. I guess
it wasn't a very good idea. Welgo, see that car coming.
Get over to the right hand side of the road.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Wark the mon. Something's wrong the steering m I can't
control the car.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Put on the breach quick.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
I can't to control the lot.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
H doctor Ewn. How do you think mister Kremston is
going to live?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Sir?
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Of course I want. Of course he's going to live.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Takes more than a simple automobile smash up to permanently
damage a man with a physique of lemon Cremson, even
if he has been unconscious for twenty four hours.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
If I help him, when mister Cranston comes.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
To Ellen, see that he stays in bed and keeps
those bandages on his arm.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
It's a very good doctor in bed with avenges on them.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I'll do my bestor he good night, good night? Said Oh, uh.
Speaker 9 (13:52):
I'd better write it down so I shall forget it.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Oh, oh, it's coming true, mister Krimston's.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Uh Aaron, what happened?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
What am I doing here in bed wrapped up in
bandages like a Christmas package?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Don't you remember?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Sir?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
You've been unconscious for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
If I've behind country for twenty four hours.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I could I remember?
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Well?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Uh yes, sir, the kitzer. Well what happened? How did
I get here?
Speaker 9 (14:20):
Well, you're in bed, sir, let me say now, oh, yes,
keep in bed, bandage his armed, Keep in bed.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Then we'll stop mumbling.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
How did I get here?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Well, you were in a waltamobile accident, So yesterday your
car ran off.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
The road and overturned in a ditch or from a
bill accident, yes.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Sir, Oh yes, yes, yes, of course, and the others.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
How about ever, if you ordered frunning to the young
gentleman who is apparently riding in the car with you, sir,
I'm I'm afraid well that is dead, yes, sir, his
neck was broken in the cross.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Oh, what about miss Lane, Miss Slave?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yes, miss Laney is what about her? What happened to her?
It was miss Slave riding with you in the car.
Miss Layne writing Alan, what's happened to miss Lane? Speak up?
I don't know, sir. There was no signable of the
scene of the accident.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
The police just reported finding you on the oppo Jit, Alan,
give me my clothes.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I'm getting off.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Foots, so the doctor said in bed the tranangilations with
the doctor.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
But I've got to find out what happened to miss
Mister Cranston.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
If you go up the dishes you're in, I shan't
be responsible you.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
You're just flying in the face of providence.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Providence.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
That's it on on Providence Street.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
It's a wild hunch, but it may be a good one.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Hurry man, give me my clothes.
Speaker 7 (15:28):
It once.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
But you, yes, okay, you.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Was hoping for someone else.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Ah, yes you do, My dear Miss Layne.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Why do you keep me here locked in your laboratory?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Why don't you let me go?
Speaker 7 (15:57):
You?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
You inhumane human?
Speaker 7 (16:01):
But that uh, perhaps my character diseas you I think
you are being confused by my appearance my uh hunchback.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Oh why are you not now?
Speaker 7 (16:13):
That trump on my back contains the electrical equipment which
I not only control my own inventions, but those other
inventors who, unfortunately I'm not as brilliant.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
As I am.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Then your mother, Christian, No, now, I tricked him all
the silly fools. They wouldn't look at my inventions. So
I cause your car to crash off the road, killing
that little upstart. Often I made his robot run amok.
I forced them to kill his wife.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
You know what do you.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Think of me?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I think you're a mad man, a namiac Oh yeah,
little girl being her crush like that, oh murderer.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
Ah, you still don't believe him the greatest inventure of worlds.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
I'm a scene god, show.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
You what are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Why are you keeping me here?
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Because miss Lane, I ever help you make some reference
to the Shadow Shadow? Yeah, you see, I have always
wanted to meet the Shadow, meet him on my own grounds,
because the Shadow is the only man who could possibly
about unmask me. I thought perhaps if you disappeared, the
Shadow might try to rescue you.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Oh no, but.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
I see I overestimated his powers.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
The shadow has not appeared that if I miss Lane,
I am going to slightly alter my plans. I am
going to give you a treat.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
What what do you mean?
Speaker 7 (17:37):
I am going to demonstrate for you at all.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
But I have invented.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
When you have seen it, I think you will admit
that a terrible injustice has been done me.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
No, no, you will see it.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
Of course you may not survive the demonstration, but that
can't be helped.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
As a matter of fact, it just as well.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
You'll know too much about me. Stop stop toning.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
I keep it in a secret compound. I often this panel.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Oh and verity, Oh, how gastly.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I admit it is not a pretty sigh.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
You see, my dear, your little friend often built here
a robot for constructive uses to benefit mankind. Mine is
for destruction, weapon for war immature, A regiment of Roberts
like this marching against flash.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
And blood man.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Horrible.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
And now I will show you how he works. Robert
step fart great places. Oh oh no, no, Jude, me ah,
I want you to port to that girl. No, pick
her up?
Speaker 4 (18:58):

of shadow. You need to test my powers against yours.

Uber?
Speaker 7 (21:07):

the greatest mind in the world.

You doubt me.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Then, perhaps when we have finished, you will things differently,
finished with what you will find out. You see that Robert,
here's my saventh, my slave, obedient to my every command.
He's not founded by human limitations. He can see you shadow.
He can see you whenever you are in this room.
He will find you. When he does, I think.

you too completely. Remember you can't talk yourself out of
this shadow.

But find this man, rush him.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I warn you, Doctor Saruga.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
You want me at last, Shadow, you've met your match.

I'm interested in knowing what's under your cult.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Oh robot, lo but help me let me do Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Your robot doesn't move very swiftly, does he now got off, well,
an electrical control box. Oh so that's your secret, doctor.
This contraction was a hump on your back, which control.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
The other robot. The tenth affair that, Oh no, doctor.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
He'll take okay in the upper hands, and I want
to show you. Let's tell my prisoner in this room,

to be out of that place.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Yes, destroying Zeruga's robot, it's a pity.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
In a way, those mechanical gentlemen might be very serviceable.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
They were properly directed. Oh you think so?
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Well, after my little experience with a doctor and his
