in just a moment. But first I'd like to say
a few words about health. Over fifty percent of old
family coals can be traced to uneven heat or overheating
in the home. So protect your family's health by burning
blue coals, America's finest anthracite. Then you will be sure
of steady, lasting, healthful heat at less cost.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The next time you order.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Fuel, ask for blue coal by name. You don't have
to get a full supply. Your nearest blue coal dealer

I'm sorry, Margot, I've been at Sag Islands.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Sag Island, you mean where they're having all the trouble
in the shipyard.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yes, it seemed to be a case where the shadow
might be of some use to his country. You've uncovered something.
Is that why you sent for me, Lamar? I'm not sure,
but I stumbled on something last night. It's been a
process of elimination where we're going back to Zag Island. Yes,
we're almost there now. Willmont have you anything definite to
work on? It seems so. Hope you'll forget Margot, that
I as the shadow of a certain gifts. You mean
(04:42):
what the underwell call the power of invisibility? Yes, and
the ability to read other men's minds, particularly the mind
of a man who has something to hide.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But you've got to find that man first, lam I know.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Do you mean that out of the three thousand men
in the Sag Island shipyards, you found.

The one man who has eluded the Secret Service, the
police and everyone for a week.

We're coming into sag Island now.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I want you to go to the Sag Island Hotel,
take a room and set up the short wave radio
that you brought it into.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Yes, it's in the baggage to go.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Now this Mango, tune in the wave I use as
the shadow and wait, wait all night if necessary. I'm
the guy here Mango.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yes, Lamar, I know you don't believe in woman's intuition,
at least you pretend on the country.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I have a healthy respect for intuition.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I'll be careful.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I have a premonition myself.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
M can't you tell me anything more?
Speaker 1 (05:30):

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Would have help if I told you what you're thinking?
Butler with Stalin? Who sent you? Is running through your
mind over and over again. I see it like a
picture on a slate. You're thinking, did on Heim send him?
Did on Heim send him?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
You're a liar.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I never mentioned on Him's name, never heard of him?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
And why are you're thinking of a name you never heard?
There'll be a fool, Butler, I know what? Do you know?
What they send you for? What's wrong? Why didn't he lash.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Parently and I were just leave it.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Yeah, you have to go out to the alley. I
locked up the front door and I ain't unlocking it again.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I'm along, Butler. We can finish that talk on the
way on the way to wear I'm along. I'll show
you all right.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
We can cut through the alley.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
We can talk on the way here. We can talk
after you, Butler.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Okay, come on, hey, come on, what's the idea We're
going down the dark alley, ain't we?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Hey? You cut the comedy and come on. Your companion
has left you at the Butler, he saw your hands
flip into that pocket where you carry a black jack.
He saw the picture in your mind and knowing you
meant to crush his scar. He asked me to take
his place? What is is? If I'm not? Oh that guy?
Oh you, Steve Butler, You're a traitor. You're selling your birthright,
(08:16):
your honor, your country's safety for money you'll never live
to collect. Honey, you know all that? Oh you? Anyway?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Is it your first excursion in crime.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Isn't it? Butler?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
What difference does that make?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
What do you want? If you had any contact with
the underworld, you wouldn't have to ask who I am?
Have you ever heard of the shadow, Steve Butler? Shadow?
So that's it.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
That's where you are, the man who can hide anywhere
that no one has ever seen.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yes, Butler, the man no one has ever seen? Don't know?
Shall I tell you what you're thinking? I see the
picture inside your head. You're thinking you'll kill me if
you could only see me? You like that other guy.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
It can't tell what I'm thinking?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
You got me? Get the right?
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Where do you want me to go?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Stop taking orders from Anheim? Is that all you mean?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
You're not going to turn me over to the Secret Service?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Now, I'm going to give you one more chance, Steve Butler,
one last chance. The shadows.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Adventure will continue in just a moment. Meanwhile, thousands of
homeowners are engaged in another kind of adventure, an adventure
and home heating involving the health of your family. I
am referring to the purchase of fuel. You know, if
you order just any kind of coal, it's a gamble,
but it's a gamble you don't have to take. Baltimore families,
for example, have found out how to eliminate the risk
(09:52):
in fuel buying. They order blue coal by name. That's
why the sale of blue coal in Baltimore so far
this winter is forty percent ahead of sales for the
same period a year ago, and this is happening in
many other cities. Here is real proof that blue coal,
the cream of Pennsylvania anthracite, is by actual tests, the
(10:14):
best of all fuels. It is the only solid fuel
actually trademarked with a harmless blue color, so that you
can tell at a glance that it is the fuel
that gives low cost heating. It is the fuel to
buy for cleanliness. Bortemore homeowners like the steady, long burning
qualities of blue coal. This is a decided advantage compared
to other fuels.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Requiring so much attention.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
The glen Alden Coal Company prepared blue coal especially for
home use in four home sizes, eggs, stove, chestnut, or peat.
So I urge all homeowners throughout this area to find
out what thousands of Baltimore families have already learned about
the greater comfort, convenience, and economy of blue coal.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Order your trial ton of blue coal tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You will find the name of your nearest blue old
dealer in the word to Buy It section of your
classified telephone directory under the name of blue.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Coal, Bargling, Spargoing. Stand By stand by. I have found
our man. He is meeting someone. The Canado will be
(11:29):
with him. Stand by.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Who's there?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Who's there?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
It's legal? Let me in there?
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Oh okay, well where's anham? Let me come? What makes
you think it'd be cool enough to come here just
because you send word you're in trouble. I've got to
see him.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I've got to talk to him. Legal.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
What's the matter with you? The Secret Service member asking
you questions again? Now, they don't suspect anything with somebody
else's actress somebody No, don I'm his.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Back ball with sabotage.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Well come on, but come out with it?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Who gone me? I'll tell you it's the Shadow.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Shadow. Don't give me that if the truth. That's why
I phoned Onheim. I got to have the money you
promised me. I got to get away from here. Listen
to you, a fool. How does the Shadow get wise
to you? How much does you know? I'm not sure
how did he find out unless you told him? I
didn't tell him. You can read your mind. Listen, you
gotta take me Onheim.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I gotta get away.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
How did you get away from the Shadow. He let
me go so he would give me one let chance?
You're lying, Butler. People don't get away from the Shadow.
He doesn't let them go unless they're working for him. Listen,
if you're trying to pull a double cross on Onheim,
you'll never live the talent. I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Way go.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
You gotta believe me, all right? Maybe you are. It
just happens. We've got another job for you that will
prove whether you're on the level with Onheim or not.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I can't do anything more.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
The Shadow knows I'm responsible for all those accidents.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
He'll find me. You can't hike from anybody like that.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
He'll find you're dead if you don't do as you're told. Besides, Butler,
you'd like to get that fifty thousand dollars on him,
promise you? And I've done more than he asked already.
I've earned that fifty thousand dollars a dozen times over.
Maybe you have, but you don't get it unless you
carry out Onarnheim's orders.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Well, this is the last.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
It'll be easy for you, and it won't take you long.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I'll wait for you.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Take it on Haeim's place. He'll pay you off. You'll
be on your way. I don't know about it, Butler,
what does he want this time? It's that battle cruiser
that's going out on a trial run in the morning.
It's too late to temple with anything now, Regals, Oh
what your turbine, inspector your schedules to go along? We
know that good?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
But how what can I do? It's too late.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
I tell you, I'll show you what you're going to do.
You see this metal tube?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
What do you want me to do with it?
Speaker 6 (13:40):
You're going aboard the cruiser and plant that inside some
piece of machinery someplace where it gets smashed when the
engine start. What's in that too? Oh, nothing much, Just
enough nitrol glisterin to t have the turban's out of
that cruiser.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Now, I won't throw it.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Did it kill every man in the engine room. It
won't be the first time, Butler. I couldn't carry that
thing into the yard.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
They're searching. Every body quits talling, will you.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
We know they don't search inspectors. That's why you've been
so useful. All right, Suppose I can get it in
the machinery.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Get off the ship before she sails.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
All I now, Hanaim will keep his word, Pay me off,
Let me get away. I didn't come here to bargain
with you, Butler. All I know is on I'm told
me to bring you back after you'd carried out his orders.
All right, I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
This is the last time. Give me that tube.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Now you're talking, but regard of that stuff, it's touchy. Well,
come on, what are you waiting for?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You better go first?
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Nothing doing. I am making sure you get to the yard.
That cruiser sales with the flood tied. And don't try
anything because I'll be waiting view my car when you
come out. Well, come on, foggling, boggling, drive to shipyard.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Watch up, black to Dan parked in front of red
brick buildings.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
A man.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
It's Steve Butler, ship inspector. I am following him into
chipyard to prevent another accident. Margo, don't throw it tighter
that black to Dan. You will lead us to the
real head.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
But have a tark ring, oh, mining lieutenant, giving the
turbines a bit of final inspection before we start on
the prial run.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, I thought i'd have a look around.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Go right ahead, I have to check the cages. Let
me know if you find anything that leaves the duck.
But I'll let you know the tenant.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'll show on I'll show I'm not afraid to go
through with this. And now this way, the little carbine
starts sinning until they smashed that net turb of night reclicktor.
In this way, everything we all right with yeah, yeah,
everything's fine, just fine with fire. Yes, everything will be
(16:13):
just fine just a moment, as soon as I have
removed the tube of night recrector and put him in
curve back.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Mago, Mago, wait a minute, the heavens you're here.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You're good at back.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Today, Buckler.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
A man named Rigo. Follow them and don't get too
close I try to get out another sabotage job.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
For a man named Anheim.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
He's the man we want.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Did you stop up? Yes, but he doesn't know it.
Don't have an accident, Margo will be scattered all over
the landscape. Mago, what do you mean just as this
metal tube I'm carrying contains enough Nightrobe Surinder blow at
the Kingdom comments that jode hard enough?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Where you get it, Lamart from bucket?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yes, he left it in the gearbox the battle cruise.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Though, so that's why you followed him in the vision,
mar you're getting to close to that car.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yes, yes, I had to stop that murderous scheme, even
if it meant losing track of Buckler and Rego.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
But do you think rarely to this man seems to
be behind all this?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Anheim, sure of it.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Look, Lamart, they're tending in that biggest.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
State, Chris, Margo corper ub stuff.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yes, LeMond to look at the sun Redland Sanitarium.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
This doesn't look like a place where an hammould have
his head points.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
How he selected it?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
No, Margo, this is it, Lamart.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You're not going in there alone.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yes, the shadow is going to return. This little metal
instrument of death to doctor Aarnheim in person. Doctor, let's
just look about sign Margo Redland sena ter end, doctor
Felix Ahnheim's resident physician. Please don't go in there alone, Lamart.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Let's notify the state police.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
You can.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
I have a radio transmitter in the car.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I want you to call a state police on the
regular wavelength.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Five minutes after I've gone in the.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
We're not dealing with amateurs. They're undoubted they prepared against
police raids. If the police blunder in there, they'll only
find an empty house. I've got to go in there alone.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Don't take that night with litter, Lamont, Oh, no, go,
I must.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
This tuber of concentrated death is an important part of
my plan to hold those men in that house until
the police break in.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Oh don't Lemart, you said you had a feminition in memory.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Don't Margo worry. Call the police and in five minutes,
five minutes, which is in the lap of the gods
and in the hands of the shadows.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
M m.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Where we go here? He is not going on, So
we have to come to tell me. You're afraid, mister Butler,
you wish to go away far away?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yes, yes, I know. When I've had enough and I
want that fifty thousand dollars and I want a quick.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
So w have you cut it all made our instructions?
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Yes, I have, and that's the finish and me often
let me get away from here.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Where I'm afraid we must wait until we are sure
of the success of your latest venturing seboltage.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Mister Butler, Michen I am.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
I think that night for Glitzer and on the cruiser
will be traded to me.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
An hour after the.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Explosions, every secret service agent in this country will be
after me.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And we will see that they do lots time. I'll
see that that myself.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Listen, you'll give me that fifty thousand dollars and let
me get out of here an hour?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Oh what he can cover with mister Rego.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Don't make a move, Butler. I hate the shoot men
in the bank.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
What are you going to do if we don't tell you?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Mister Butler, and I'm warning you are going not to shoot.
Do you think I didn't know you'd try something like this?
Do you think I'd come here when I ate up
my fleet.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Or mister Butler, that's it. It's a little bottle.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
So with some of the night of glitz, and you
sent me the plan on the cruiser. You know what
will happen if I throw it, And I'll throw it
if we can shoot mister Butler.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You're bluffing. That better tube was sealed and could not
be opened yours. I opened it a little out of it,
I rego. I think mister Butler has served as long enough.
He wants to go far away.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I think we should help him.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
No, don't. Don't you want to You can't tell me
you recallin to Butler. This is a sanitarium. Many persons
have died here. It is quite useful. The police think
nothing of one death more or less.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Are you sure there's no nat.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I think now, mister, No, No, don't.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Shadow. The shadow warned me I should have listened. Listen
to a shadow.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Very good, mister Rigo. Now this this American manner of
mystery in the shadow, and he interests me. You told
me something about a telephone.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Yes, he got the bottle last night, makes himself invisible,
as I told you over the phone. I think we'd
better get out of the country for a.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
While because of this, uh shadow.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And he's just a man using hypnotic forces that affect
man's minds.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Maybe, But once he gets on your trail, there's no
shaking him off.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
But I know something about such forces.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
He can appear in a room by being seen.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
They do it.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Some call it the powers of the angels or devils,
but it's the art of mesmerism. Thenotic suggestion is very old,
and certain men of modern science have developed it amazingly.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Well, no matter how he does it, I don't want
to meet the shadow in.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
That case, mister Rigou.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Will you be so kind as to remove that body?
For I dislike the presence of the dead.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Oh, I'll take care.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Are we in the me I shall not need you.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Hey, what's funny, Doc? What are you grilling about?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I am looking forward to a conversation.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Ma'm going to have somebody coming here, not exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I don't concern yourself, mitter ego. This is something beyond
your comprehension. Okay, are we on tabs? You need me?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
What are you waiting for?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Shadow? Why don't you speak? How long have you known?
I was in this room, doctor for.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Quite some minutes. Shadow.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Well, I'm not a master of europe of invisibility.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
My mind is sensitive to such a possil concentration as
you exert to cloak your presence. I see since you
sent Rigo away, it is evident you are not afraid
of me. M fear as a luxury. I do not
allow myself Shadow. Your career sabotage is over, Doctor Onnheim,
I think not. I have never met a man who
(22:57):
did not have a prize. Shadow. I have only one
price for your kind, doctor, prison. You could be very
valuable to me. Shadow. Don't reach into that draw Doctor.
A gun is of no use. A gun and that
is a crude way of setting a difference of opinion.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
But money I can't pay. Well, money won't help you.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Many need be no alternative.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
You see that little wheel set into.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
This wall, Yes.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I turn it, and.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yes, Shadow, I guess the room. If they're tight, he'll
serve me well, another Coccadian Shadow. You can't get out
the door is locked on the outside. What good will
it do you to kill me? If you also die.
I'm not going to cuse your myself with this gut.
But then that's enough, Guess will be liberated to not
(23:53):
your powers of concentration enough to destroy your ability to
remain invisible. You can't resist Shadow and just the moment
you will weaken become visible, and the moment I see you,
the moment I catch the faintest glimpse of a shadowy.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Form, I shoot.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
The air is becoming quite heavy. Shadow, yes, letten, doctor Onheim.
The police are clothing in, doctor, So you don't trust
your own powers. You better have the police to help you.
(24:33):
In a few minutes, the place will be surrounded. That
is all the time I need. You will become visible.
I shall kill you. And then and then I take
the police a little while to break into this room.
And they do. They will find a dead shadow, but
I shall not be here. This door behind me leads
(24:55):
to pairt way, which leads to a bay.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
The speedboard awaits me.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Then I know about this seatboat. Doctor on him. You'll
see the gas is doing its work. Your weakening, your
power of invisibility is losing it.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
What is agree dot to take the police past the
sleep boats?
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Anything to make it?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Hey, what are you doing with that gas? What's the idea?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
The shadow you see in this room. In just a moment,
you will become visible.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
But you haven't time to wait. The police are already
in the house.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Don't try to escape, and that speedboat. I have turned
it into a death trap.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Dot on, I'm come quicker, it will be too late.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Wait, doctor, I'm death is waiting for you and that speedboat,
a violent death of your own making.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
No, you can't love me.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Don't listen for doctor hurry all right, but remember Shadow,
we shall meet again. I'm afraid not. My friends at
first cut me to turn off the gas.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Like the way everybody, why Dad, you won't take me
up there? That's you pollies by that room was okay.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Captain, this room right? All the try looks like the skipp.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Sounded like an explosion down near the water.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yes, it was an explosion, gentlemen, there will be no
more wrecking of worship with the Cube of Nico Glitteran
intended for the new battle cruiser by Doctor Anheim and
placed in the gears of the Good Doctor's Own Sea.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
With a compliments of the Shadow, you.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Have just heard a dramatized version of one of the
many copyrighted stories which appear in the Shaddow magazine. Any
similarity to person's living or dead is purely coincidental.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
The weed of crime bears it is.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Crime does not pay.

Today's story Sabotage. Today's exciting adventure with the Shadows starts
(00:39):
in just a moment. But first I'd like to say
a few words about health. Over fifty percent of old
family coals can be traced to uneven heat or overheating
in the home. So protect your family's health by burning
blue coals, America's finest anthracite. Then you will be sure
of steady, lasting, healthful heat at less cost.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The next time you order.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Fuel, ask for blue coal by name. You don't have
to get a full supply. Your nearest blue coal dealer
will be glad to send you a trial ton. Phone
him tomorrow.

In the Sag Island yard, Sag Island.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Eh.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yes, every resource at the command of the government is
being directed towards the apprehension of those responsible for the
systematic blows at the naval defense strength of the United
States the Mark Crepton, would you mind telling me where
(04:09):
you've been to the past five days? I was nearly
plantic until I got your call asking me to meet you.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And why there's old clothes and why haven't you shared?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I'm sorry, Margot, I've been at Sag Islands.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Sag Island, you mean where they're having all the trouble
in the shipyard.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yes, it seemed to be a case where the shadow
might be of some use to his country. You've uncovered something.
Is that why you sent for me, Lamar? I'm not sure,
but I stumbled on something last night. It's been a
process of elimination where we're going back to Zag Island. Yes,
we're almost there now. Willmont have you anything definite to
work on? It seems so. Hope you'll forget Margot, that
I as the shadow of a certain gifts. You mean
(04:42):
what the underwell call the power of invisibility? Yes, and
the ability to read other men's minds, particularly the mind
of a man who has something to hide.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But you've got to find that man first, lam I know.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Do you mean that out of the three thousand men
in the Sag Island shipyards, you found.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
The one man who has eluded the Secret Service, the
police and everyone for a week.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I think I have Mango, I know for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Tonight, what do you want.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Me to do, Lamart.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
We're coming into sag Island now.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I want you to go to the Sag Island Hotel,
take a room and set up the short wave radio
that you brought it into.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Yes, it's in the baggage to go.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Now this Mango, tune in the wave I use as
the shadow and wait, wait all night if necessary. I'm
the guy here Mango.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yes, Lamar, I know you don't believe in woman's intuition,
at least you pretend on the country.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I have a healthy respect for intuition.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I'll be careful.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I have a premonition myself.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
M can't you tell me anything more?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I can only tell you I'm going into that bar
down the street. If this man is the one I
think he is, we will have a very interesting visit
in that bar. Hey bar can set him up again?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah, one more undone boy in time?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Are con Jake okay an? I come on? There's good
night voice Hal and mackerel. Two o'clock already, And when
our passes quickly? When a man is talking about himself,
mister Butler.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Why what I haven't talking about?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
While I'm say who the devil? Are you? Anyway?
Speaker 6 (06:18):
If you're one of them secret service guys trying to
pump me, you're bucking up the wrong train.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And run a secret service man? And then what's your game?
What's yours? You're not looking for a job.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
You're a phony. I have a good note to turn
you over to the cops.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
They're wounding up guys like you sit around. Butler, listen
to me. You get uspoke in trouble?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Who sent you here? Who told you to look me up?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Would have help if I told you what you're thinking?
Butler with Stalin? Who sent you? Is running through your
mind over and over again. I see it like a
picture on a slate. You're thinking, did on Heim send him?
Did on Heim send him?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
You're a liar.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I never mentioned on Him's name, never heard of him?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
And why are you're thinking of a name you never heard?
There'll be a fool, Butler, I know what? Do you know?
What they send you for? What's wrong? Why didn't he lash.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
What's staring at me like that? I who are going
to say? Why didn't I? And I'm tell me himself?
Those we go ask you?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, No, he don't want me back to know if
you're in on this, you want to know that.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Listen you, I don't know how much you know.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Hey, you past clothes?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Do Come on, cheer up.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Tomorrow is another day.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Parently and I were just leave it.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Yeah, you have to go out to the alley. I
locked up the front door and I ain't unlocking it again.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I'm along, Butler. We can finish that talk on the
way on the way to wear I'm along. I'll show
you all right.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
We can cut through the alley.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
We can talk on the way here. We can talk
after you, Butler.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Okay, come on, hey, come on, what's the idea We're
going down the dark alley, ain't we?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Hey? You cut the comedy and come on. Your companion
has left you at the Butler, he saw your hands
flip into that pocket where you carry a black jack.
He saw the picture in your mind and knowing you
meant to crush his scar. He asked me to take
his place? What is is? If I'm not? Oh that guy?
Oh you, Steve Butler, You're a traitor. You're selling your birthright,
(08:16):
your honor, your country's safety for money you'll never live
to collect. Honey, you know all that? Oh you? Anyway?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Is it your first excursion in crime.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Isn't it? Butler?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
What difference does that make?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
What do you want? If you had any contact with
the underworld, you wouldn't have to ask who I am?
Have you ever heard of the shadow, Steve Butler? Shadow?
So that's it.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
That's where you are, the man who can hide anywhere
that no one has ever seen.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yes, Butler, the man no one has ever seen? Don't know?
Shall I tell you what you're thinking? I see the
picture inside your head. You're thinking you'll kill me if
you could only see me? You like that other guy.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
It can't tell what I'm thinking?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
You got me? Get the right?
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Where do you want me to go?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Stop taking orders from Anheim? Is that all you mean?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
You're not going to turn me over to the Secret Service?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Now, I'm going to give you one more chance, Steve Butler,
one last chance. The shadows.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Adventure will continue in just a moment. Meanwhile, thousands of
homeowners are engaged in another kind of adventure, an adventure
and home heating involving the health of your family. I
am referring to the purchase of fuel. You know, if
you order just any kind of coal, it's a gamble,
but it's a gamble you don't have to take. Baltimore families,
for example, have found out how to eliminate the risk
(09:52):
in fuel buying. They order blue coal by name. That's
why the sale of blue coal in Baltimore so far
this winter is forty percent ahead of sales for the
same period a year ago, and this is happening in
many other cities. Here is real proof that blue coal,
the cream of Pennsylvania anthracite, is by actual tests, the
(10:14):
best of all fuels. It is the only solid fuel
actually trademarked with a harmless blue color, so that you
can tell at a glance that it is the fuel
that gives low cost heating. It is the fuel to
buy for cleanliness. Bortemore homeowners like the steady, long burning
qualities of blue coal. This is a decided advantage compared
to other fuels.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Requiring so much attention.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
The glen Alden Coal Company prepared blue coal especially for
home use in four home sizes, eggs, stove, chestnut, or peat.
So I urge all homeowners throughout this area to find
out what thousands of Baltimore families have already learned about
the greater comfort, convenience, and economy of blue coal.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Order your trial ton of blue coal tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You will find the name of your nearest blue old
dealer in the word to Buy It section of your
classified telephone directory under the name of blue.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Coal, Bargling, Spargoing. Stand By stand by. I have found
our man. He is meeting someone. The Canado will be
(11:29):
with him. Stand by.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Who's there?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Who's there?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
It's legal? Let me in there?
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Oh okay, well where's anham? Let me come? What makes
you think it'd be cool enough to come here just
because you send word you're in trouble. I've got to
see him.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I've got to talk to him. Legal.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
What's the matter with you? The Secret Service member asking
you questions again? Now, they don't suspect anything with somebody
else's actress somebody No, don I'm his.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Back ball with sabotage.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Well come on, but come out with it?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Who gone me? I'll tell you it's the Shadow.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Shadow. Don't give me that if the truth. That's why
I phoned Onheim. I got to have the money you
promised me. I got to get away from here. Listen
to you, a fool. How does the Shadow get wise
to you? How much does you know? I'm not sure
how did he find out unless you told him? I
didn't tell him. You can read your mind. Listen, you
gotta take me Onheim.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I gotta get away.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
How did you get away from the Shadow. He let
me go so he would give me one let chance?
You're lying, Butler. People don't get away from the Shadow.
He doesn't let them go unless they're working for him. Listen,
if you're trying to pull a double cross on Onheim,
you'll never live the talent. I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Way go.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
You gotta believe me, all right? Maybe you are. It
just happens. We've got another job for you that will
prove whether you're on the level with Onheim or not.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I can't do anything more.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
The Shadow knows I'm responsible for all those accidents.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
He'll find me. You can't hike from anybody like that.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
He'll find you're dead if you don't do as you're told. Besides, Butler,
you'd like to get that fifty thousand dollars on him,
promise you? And I've done more than he asked already.
I've earned that fifty thousand dollars a dozen times over.
Maybe you have, but you don't get it unless you
carry out Onarnheim's orders.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Well, this is the last.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
It'll be easy for you, and it won't take you long.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I'll wait for you.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Take it on Haeim's place. He'll pay you off. You'll
be on your way. I don't know about it, Butler,
what does he want this time? It's that battle cruiser
that's going out on a trial run in the morning.
It's too late to temple with anything now, Regals, Oh
what your turbine, inspector your schedules to go along? We
know that good?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
But how what can I do? It's too late.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
I tell you, I'll show you what you're going to do.
You see this metal tube?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
What do you want me to do with it?
Speaker 6 (13:40):
You're going aboard the cruiser and plant that inside some
piece of machinery someplace where it gets smashed when the
engine start. What's in that too? Oh, nothing much, Just
enough nitrol glisterin to t have the turban's out of
that cruiser.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Now, I won't throw it.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Did it kill every man in the engine room. It
won't be the first time, Butler. I couldn't carry that
thing into the yard.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
They're searching. Every body quits talling, will you.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
We know they don't search inspectors. That's why you've been
so useful. All right, Suppose I can get it in
the machinery.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Get off the ship before she sails.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
All I now, Hanaim will keep his word, Pay me off,
Let me get away. I didn't come here to bargain
with you, Butler. All I know is on I'm told
me to bring you back after you'd carried out his orders.
All right, I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
This is the last time. Give me that tube.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Now you're talking, but regard of that stuff, it's touchy. Well,
come on, what are you waiting for?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You better go first?
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Nothing doing. I am making sure you get to the yard.
That cruiser sales with the flood tied. And don't try
anything because I'll be waiting view my car when you
come out. Well, come on, foggling, boggling, drive to shipyard.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Watch up, black to Dan parked in front of red
brick buildings.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
A man.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
It's Steve Butler, ship inspector. I am following him into
chipyard to prevent another accident. Margo, don't throw it tighter
that black to Dan. You will lead us to the
real head.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
But have a tark ring, oh, mining lieutenant, giving the
turbines a bit of final inspection before we start on
the prial run.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, I thought i'd have a look around.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Go right ahead, I have to check the cages. Let
me know if you find anything that leaves the duck.
But I'll let you know the tenant.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'll show on I'll show I'm not afraid to go
through with this. And now this way, the little carbine
starts sinning until they smashed that net turb of night reclicktor.
In this way, everything we all right with yeah, yeah,
everything's fine, just fine with fire. Yes, everything will be
(16:13):
just fine just a moment, as soon as I have
removed the tube of night recrector and put him in
curve back.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Mago, Mago, wait a minute, the heavens you're here.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You're good at back.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Today, Buckler.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
A man named Rigo. Follow them and don't get too
close I try to get out another sabotage job.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
For a man named Anheim.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
He's the man we want.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Did you stop up? Yes, but he doesn't know it.
Don't have an accident, Margo will be scattered all over
the landscape. Mago, what do you mean just as this
metal tube I'm carrying contains enough Nightrobe Surinder blow at
the Kingdom comments that jode hard enough?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Where you get it, Lamart from bucket?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yes, he left it in the gearbox the battle cruise.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Though, so that's why you followed him in the vision,
mar you're getting to close to that car.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yes, yes, I had to stop that murderous scheme, even
if it meant losing track of Buckler and Rego.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
But do you think rarely to this man seems to
be behind all this?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Anheim, sure of it.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Look, Lamart, they're tending in that biggest.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
State, Chris, Margo corper ub stuff.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yes, LeMond to look at the sun Redland Sanitarium.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
This doesn't look like a place where an hammould have
his head points.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
How he selected it?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
No, Margo, this is it, Lamart.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
You're not going in there alone.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yes, the shadow is going to return. This little metal
instrument of death to doctor Aarnheim in person. Doctor, let's
just look about sign Margo Redland sena ter end, doctor
Felix Ahnheim's resident physician. Please don't go in there alone, Lamart.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Let's notify the state police.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
You can.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
I have a radio transmitter in the car.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I want you to call a state police on the
regular wavelength.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Five minutes after I've gone in the.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
We're not dealing with amateurs. They're undoubted they prepared against
police raids. If the police blunder in there, they'll only
find an empty house. I've got to go in there alone.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
Don't take that night with litter, Lamont, Oh, no, go,
I must.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
This tuber of concentrated death is an important part of
my plan to hold those men in that house until
the police break in.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
Oh don't Lemart, you said you had a feminition in memory.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Don't Margo worry. Call the police and in five minutes,
five minutes, which is in the lap of the gods
and in the hands of the shadows.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
M m.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Where we go here? He is not going on, So
we have to come to tell me. You're afraid, mister Butler,
you wish to go away far away?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yes, yes, I know. When I've had enough and I
want that fifty thousand dollars and I want a quick.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
So w have you cut it all made our instructions?
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Yes, I have, and that's the finish and me often
let me get away from here.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Where I'm afraid we must wait until we are sure
of the success of your latest venturing seboltage.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Mister Butler, Michen I am.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
I think that night for Glitzer and on the cruiser
will be traded to me.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
An hour after the.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Explosions, every secret service agent in this country will be
after me.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And we will see that they do lots time. I'll
see that that myself.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Listen, you'll give me that fifty thousand dollars and let
me get out of here an hour?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Oh what he can cover with mister Rego.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Don't make a move, Butler. I hate the shoot men
in the bank.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
What are you going to do if we don't tell you?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Mister Butler, and I'm warning you are going not to shoot.
Do you think I didn't know you'd try something like this?
Do you think I'd come here when I ate up
my fleet.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Or mister Butler, that's it. It's a little bottle.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
So with some of the night of glitz, and you
sent me the plan on the cruiser. You know what
will happen if I throw it, And I'll throw it
if we can shoot mister Butler.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You're bluffing. That better tube was sealed and could not
be opened yours. I opened it a little out of it,
I rego. I think mister Butler has served as long enough.
He wants to go far away.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I think we should help him.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
No, don't. Don't you want to You can't tell me
you recallin to Butler. This is a sanitarium. Many persons
have died here. It is quite useful. The police think
nothing of one death more or less.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Are you sure there's no nat.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I think now, mister, No, No, don't.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Shadow. The shadow warned me I should have listened. Listen
to a shadow.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Very good, mister Rigo. Now this this American manner of
mystery in the shadow, and he interests me. You told
me something about a telephone.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Yes, he got the bottle last night, makes himself invisible,
as I told you over the phone. I think we'd
better get out of the country for a.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
While because of this, uh shadow.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And he's just a man using hypnotic forces that affect
man's minds.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Maybe, But once he gets on your trail, there's no
shaking him off.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
But I know something about such forces.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
He can appear in a room by being seen.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
They do it.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Some call it the powers of the angels or devils,
but it's the art of mesmerism. Thenotic suggestion is very old,
and certain men of modern science have developed it amazingly.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Well, no matter how he does it, I don't want
to meet the shadow in.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
That case, mister Rigou.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Will you be so kind as to remove that body?
For I dislike the presence of the dead.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Oh, I'll take care.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Are we in the me I shall not need you.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
Hey, what's funny, Doc? What are you grilling about?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I am looking forward to a conversation.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Ma'm going to have somebody coming here, not exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I don't concern yourself, mitter ego. This is something beyond
your comprehension. Okay, are we on tabs? You need me?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
What are you waiting for?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Shadow? Why don't you speak? How long have you known?
I was in this room, doctor for.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Quite some minutes. Shadow.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Well, I'm not a master of europe of invisibility.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
My mind is sensitive to such a possil concentration as
you exert to cloak your presence. I see since you
sent Rigo away, it is evident you are not afraid
of me. M fear as a luxury. I do not
allow myself Shadow. Your career sabotage is over, Doctor Onnheim,
I think not. I have never met a man who
(22:57):
did not have a prize. Shadow. I have only one
price for your kind, doctor, prison. You could be very
valuable to me. Shadow. Don't reach into that draw Doctor.
A gun is of no use. A gun and that
is a crude way of setting a difference of opinion.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
But money I can't pay. Well, money won't help you.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Many need be no alternative.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
You see that little wheel set into.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
This wall, Yes.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I turn it, and.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yes, Shadow, I guess the room. If they're tight, he'll
serve me well, another Coccadian Shadow. You can't get out
the door is locked on the outside. What good will
it do you to kill me? If you also die.
I'm not going to cuse your myself with this gut.
But then that's enough, Guess will be liberated to not
(23:53):
your powers of concentration enough to destroy your ability to
remain invisible. You can't resist Shadow and just the moment
you will weaken become visible, and the moment I see you,
the moment I catch the faintest glimpse of a shadowy.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Form, I shoot.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
The air is becoming quite heavy. Shadow, yes, letten, doctor Onheim.
The police are clothing in, doctor, So you don't trust
your own powers. You better have the police to help you.
(24:33):
In a few minutes, the place will be surrounded. That
is all the time I need. You will become visible.
I shall kill you. And then and then I take
the police a little while to break into this room.
And they do. They will find a dead shadow, but
I shall not be here. This door behind me leads
(24:55):
to pairt way, which leads to a bay.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
The speedboard awaits me.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Then I know about this seatboat. Doctor on him. You'll
see the gas is doing its work. Your weakening, your
power of invisibility is losing it.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
What is agree dot to take the police past the
sleep boats?
Speaker 6 (25:15):
Anything to make it?
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Hey, what are you doing with that gas? What's the idea?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
The shadow you see in this room. In just a moment,
you will become visible.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
But you haven't time to wait. The police are already
in the house.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Don't try to escape, and that speedboat. I have turned
it into a death trap.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Dot on, I'm come quicker, it will be too late.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Wait, doctor, I'm death is waiting for you and that speedboat,
a violent death of your own making.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
No, you can't love me.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Don't listen for doctor hurry all right, but remember Shadow,
we shall meet again. I'm afraid not. My friends at
first cut me to turn off the gas.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Like the way everybody, why Dad, you won't take me
up there? That's you pollies by that room was okay.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Captain, this room right? All the try looks like the skipp.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Sounded like an explosion down near the water.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yes, it was an explosion, gentlemen, there will be no
more wrecking of worship with the Cube of Nico Glitteran
intended for the new battle cruiser by Doctor Anheim and
placed in the gears of the Good Doctor's Own Sea.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
With a compliments of the Shadow, you.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Have just heard a dramatized version of one of the
many copyrighted stories which appear in the Shaddow magazine. Any
similarity to person's living or dead is purely coincidental.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
The weed of crime bears it is.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Crime does not pay.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
The Shadow nos.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Next week, same time, same station. Blue Coal America's finest
stand for site will again present another thrilling adventure of
the Shadow.
