Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.
The Shadow nows. Once again, your neighborhood blue Coal Dealer
brings you the thrilling adventures of the Shadow, the hard

(00:40):
and relentless fight of one man against the forces of evil.
These dramatizations are designed to demonstrate forcefully to old and
young alike that crime does not pay. Friends. It's as
easy a spring delivery of blue coal America's finest high

(01:02):
Call and ask him about easy budget terms. The Shadow
who aids the forces of law and order is, in
reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town. Years ago
in the Orient, Cranston learned a strange and mysterious secret,

(01:24):
the hypnotic power to cloud men's minds or they cannot
see him. Cranston's friend and companion, the bubbly Margot Lane,
is the only person who knows to whom the voice
of the invisible Shadow belongs. Today's drama, The Giant of Madras.

(01:54):
At nine fifteen of his stormy spring evening, Lamont and
Margot were sitting in the loud car of a deluxe
transcontinental train, the mad Can.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
You imagine what these vast planes were like? A hundred
years ago. Yeah, fast now, But think of all the
troubles the people in those days had, and the adventures
boarding streams, fighting Indians, heard the buffalo quite alive today?
You just getting the train and whisk across them. Save
as a bug in a rug.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Oh, I think a bug was equally as safe in
a covered wagon.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
There's been quite an improvement as far as human beings
are concerned.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
But you really prefer all the civilization.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Hm.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's RESTful, but just a little dull, don't you think?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Perhaps? But I wouldn't be able to think at all
whether Sue's tomahawk buried my skull.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Oh, I guess that would be a disadvantage. Maybe I'm
just sleepy.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Uh, it reminds me so of my Uh. Conductor, Yes, sir,

Ready, of course. All right, conductor calls at one time,
and the mile slipped by, and it was a little
after twelve when the train blew for a water stop

(03:34):
three miles ahead. Now this was usually a very deserted locality,
this water stop. However, tonight it wasn't so deserted. In fact,
if you counted the men, there were a half dozen
of them. You hear that she's coming fet her on time.

(03:55):

Speaker 2 (05:01):
The mon the moth?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Who is uh? The moth? Please wake up?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'll go What are you doing of it? What time
is it?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Wait a minute, I look at my watch. Em that's
twelve minutes after ten after ten.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Of course, not your watch is stung.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Oh yeah, so it happens.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
It's awfully much.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
It is getting to be morning morning. It's impossible. I
told the conductor to tell the porter the wakes at
one am.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
It is impossible that he forgot to tell the porter.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Oh yeah, gods, I hope not.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
We could have, and we could already be hundreds of
miles past our stations.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
When I'll ring for the conductor, what help you much?
Why not he doesn't come.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
I've been ringing for the last half hours.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Oh, he's probably snoozing in the lounge car pogracy. Uh,
there's nobody in here. Apparently at peartances, I opt in
deceiving by young. Then I didn't see you sitting there
in the shadows.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
There are times in life when the then you have
in conspicuousness cannot be overrated.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Muh oh yeah, sure, I'm looking for the conductor. Of
course you are.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Several passengers have passed through here in search of that
same gentleman in blue. Have you seen him? Not the
sign of him? The fact is, my young friend, I
fear we are all in for a bit of a blow. Yes, yes,
tell me are you an honest man?

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well? I uh? I filched a brace of candy bars
on my ninth birthday, spotless record. The most interesting. What's
even more interesting is the whereabouts of that conductor. He
was supposed to wake us at one o'clock.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Then I fear he has failed you utterly?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Or what do you mean?

Speaker 3 (06:46):
The night has grown much older than one o'clock.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
My watch has stopped.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
On the other hand, mine has not there.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
It has chimed the quarter of the hour, or let's
see quarter of Oh no, but yes, why it's incredible.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Not incredible, my young friends. Human events proceed with irresistible logic,
some steel while others pray. So runs the world away.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
A quarter of five? We must be halfway across the
continent better than or where's the conductor? Where is he?
That is what many would like to know. Well, I'll
find out the best of luck, my young friend, doctor, doctor,
who's that you wake everybody up? Sir? You were calling me?

(07:36):
It's where'd you turn up from?

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:38):
I just comes through the large car right behind you, said,
what can I do for you? My name is Lamon Kransner.
You're the man I told to call us at one o'clock. No,
but I relieved that fell a little after midnight. I
didn't tell you about our call. Sure, sure, I was
gonna call yourself. When when we got to Malibu Beach. Sure,
one o'clock. One o'clock. I got fifteen minutes. Yet it's
only twelve forty five, our friend, it's getting to be morning.

(08:00):
You mean because of the way this sky looks. That's
that morning, mister Cranston. That's light from some industrial plants
just over the horizon. Look it happens.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
I know what time it is.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
The ballheaded gentleman with a monocle sitting in the lounge
car showed me his watch. It's quarter of five. What's
that about? A ball headed gentleman in the lounge car,
sitting in the shadows by the bar. Didn't you see him?
It's funny. No I didn't. You must not have looked
he's there. I'm used to keeping my eyes open, mister Cranston.
He asked me that lounge car is empty. I just
talked to the gentleman. Are you by any chance suggesting

(08:32):
I'm out of my mind? One of us is should
we go see which? Mister Cranston? All right, here we are?
What'd you say? We're sitting right here? Besides the I
told you there was nobody here. He was here. He
probably left the car at the other end. A passenger

(08:53):
couldn't leave this car at the other end. That's next
the head is a baggage car, and that door ain't
left open. How fire was you? Oh? I'd get myself
a little more sleep, mister Cranston, bod me, miss.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Not what's going on?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I was here, sitting right here? Where could he have gone?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I just had a somewhat peculiar experience, Margot, that there
was a little man sitting here not ten minutes ago.
He showed me his watch. I remember it rang the
quarter of the yard. It's one of those old fashioned
ones a chime. So now he's disappeared.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Well before we go any further with the fairy story,
did you find out what time it is?

Speaker 1 (09:29):
The conductor says, it's not one o'clock here, but by
the stranger's watch, it would now be just about five o'clock.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
And this, what's that?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
It's him, that's his watch chiming.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Oh, where is he under the seat? No, he isn't.
This watch is Look, this is it? This is the
watch he showed me. The crystal's all smashed.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
The hour hand's broken off.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
It must have fallen.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
It's more like somebody gave it the business with a sledgehammer.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Care you tair you there?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
If? Are you here? What i'd beg your pardon? Young people?
I I'm looking for my husband.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Have you seen him?

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Perhaps?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Probably? Uh, small gentleman with no hair, wearing a monocle?

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yes, what have you done with him?

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Now?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Wait a minute, The question is what has he done
to me?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well, he vanished practically in front of my eyes?

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Bad.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yes, he was sitting right here by the bar. I
stepped outside for a few minutes. When I came was
coming from inside this liquor closet.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
He did him?

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Did you?

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Wouldn't you give me a room? Are you right in there?
This door stuck? I'm out of my right Oh.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
He's her, you say, who did this, the giant giant
of mother's What happened to it?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Uh? This young man here he took it. No, no,
my my young friend did not take it. He did
not take it. I h oh you said, good here
holding you said, you said, speak to me the diamond,

(11:02):
you say, speak to me.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Spoken about as much as could be expected, considering the
fact there's a knife between his shoulder.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Lads, he's dead, Oh the more he would not want
to mourn him. It is the giant we must think
of the giant of Madress. There is a giant in
this too, not giant man, giant jewel diamond, pure white,
not circular cut, twenty five carried twenty five carc you say,

(11:33):
purchasing agent to his Holy Majesty, my hat Ma Maharajah
cut course.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
And he has this diamond on him, Yes, on his person.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Even I did not know how he was carrying it.
Perhaps in his shoes, perhaps.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
A money pence, perhaps perhaps on the back of his watch.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yes, perhaps, let me see it.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I'll take that white. Why my friend, the conductor a
one o'clock scholar.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Come on, he's got a gun.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Let's have the time piece. Cranston. I'm tryna pretend it's yours.
He ain't pretending nothing. I got a gun in his hand.
I want that watch in the other. I'm sorry, we
have a special use for this particular time piece. And
over to watch, Cranston, and hand it over fast, and
you'll never know what time it is. Margot and Lamont

(12:35):
on a deluxe transcontinental train discover the barty of an
East Indian gentleman locked in the lounge car liquor cabinet.
The fabulous diamond called the Giant of Madras, which he
was carrying with him, has disappeared. Cranston, the East Indian's wife,
and Margo, I'm about to examine the dead man's huge,
old fashioned watch for a diamond. When I'll take dead

(12:55):
watch Cranston, who's my friend the conductor, And over the watch, Cranston,
hand it over fast, and you'll never know what time that.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Manners to turn your back on an old lady.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
M However, the old lady has a gun at your
spy and suggests you keep your back turned. Would we
leave him of the fire arm, mister Cranston right now?
Then we will perhaps store him in the closet for
safe keeping until we have a better idea of what
he's going on on this train.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
No, it's a good idea. Come on, fine a minute,
step lively, mister conductor. There's plenty of room inside.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
What's he doing? Do you depeap?

Speaker 1 (13:32):
No, you have friends aboard.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Let us stop to address. Oh, good work, young friend.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
There we are. Hm.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
He certainly wanted Josef's watch.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yes, she probably agreed with my deduction. The giant of
Mattress may be inside it very likely.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Why don't we look and see one moment? Well it
is not here. Well, then where in the world can
it be?

Speaker 1 (13:57):
I don't know. But whoever kill Hi wouldn't have left
it MS.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Pockets something one I'm training has the diamond?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Come on?

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Look?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Huh a station?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Just flash by? What station? Galensville? And there's no Galonsville?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Kind of talk is that I was.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Looking at the rail map, reading myself to sleep. There
is no Galansville on this route.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
O a dumb moment. I'd appreciate a few. Just now,
what's fast?

Speaker 2 (14:20):
I cans listen?

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Someone knocking.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
It's from the car up ahead, the baggage car.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
What is wrong?

Speaker 1 (14:25):
It's a question I can soon answer. Stay behind with
Ala Margot, I'll.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Do nothing in the kind. I'm going with you, but
don't argue.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Okay, you win, We'll leave you in charge.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
All of good luck go with you, young friend. Ooh oooh,
someone's locking the baggage car.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
No, I can just snap this cat's yeah, I'm gonna go.
Stand away, sweet hot and the storm mornings are up.
You're not one of them? Hi, you hire a look,
I'm odder to God, up to your passengers, aren't you?
What else could we be? Murderous bandits? Heaven only knows

(15:02):
who you're talking about. The six of 'em, led by
some man they called Galen. But after a twenty five
carrot diamond, where are they? Everywhere? They've taken over. They've
stopped the train about midnight, but me and the rest
of the crew out of the way and are running
the train themselves. The murdered little man, the conductor with
a gun in his hand. Yes, everything's as clear as
a well praised death for him.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
What it was.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I need to do. Best we can do is to
pray we reached Los Angeles alive, not at all sure
even going there? What do you mean just past the
station that's not on the Los Angeles Sinerary? What what station,
Galen Talensville. No, what's the matter. They've made a mistake.
They've taken the north square at the junction. The Galensville
rot doesn't connect with the main tracks for another fifty miles.
So there's a bridge on this route over Belvedere Canyon.

(15:40):
The bridge clapped at eleven o'clock last night. We just
got the flash five minutes before they took the train over.
Now and Belvedeck Canyon is a drop of two thousand
feet a month, easy, darling, How finally had is this
bridge totally twenty months in Galensville?

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Looks if we have to stop this train, got a
fat chance. They're a five armed man against five Sure
for a half. It doesn't begin with them. Got knocked
off in the scuffle, and I just locked one of
our little playmates in the liquor closet and the lounge car.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Where are they now?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
The remaining for probably up ahead of the engine. O,
well Mark.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Maybe we could talk to the reason with them, explain
him that we're all going down together at the bottom
of Belvidere Canyon.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
They're too slick to believe the truth. They think it
was some kind of a gag what do you suggest
A sure, I don't know, but uh, I think the
easiest way would be if Gambling and his boys find
what they were looking for, they got a hold of
the diamond, we could make a deal with them to
stop in the stretch of fine Woods, just this side
of Belvede Bridge.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
But we don't know where the diamond is.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Are you sure? What are you sure? You don't know
where the diamond is? Of course we are speak for yourself, darling.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
I mean, I'm not so sure. We don't know where
the diamond is. What is the door open going into
the next car? Yes, okay, see you later. Hey, what
are you gonna do? We gonna try to make a
deal with those boys in the locomotive? Stay here, marcom
not in your life. How long I'm going?

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Wherever you go?

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Okay, coming along? No, I'll risk it back here. I
never developed a taste for hot blood. Does as you please.
If we crash at Belvidere Bridge, you'll know the deal
fell through.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Not look don't then the cards open? He straight through
the controls. Who looks over?

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Quick? Get over into the shop. This must be the
gamblin boys.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Funny, Huh what is how only see three of them?

Speaker 1 (17:22):
We'll be plenty. I wonder what Remember the man we
locked in the liquor closet?

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Remember that whistle?

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yes? What about it?

Speaker 1 (17:29):
I think it might prove no en valuable in this
particular emergency. Anyhow, it's worth a try, not little urt,
That's what I wanted to do. Maybe they'll come back
to investigate.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Looking on one's coming.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
First candidate for a fact, your job keeping the shadows?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
He think you?

Speaker 1 (18:07):

Speaker 2 (18:08):
It's me Radner?

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Thank you? Think you? Where are you? Hey? Hicky?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
What don't chance on me?

Speaker 1 (18:15):
What if it's not Hickey? Some one less who lean
to worry about?

Speaker 2 (18:19):
What happens?

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Now? Rebroadcast for our next playmate comes a second candidate
the game. Thank you? What's happening? Rightner? You there? That'd
to me somebody Spider sent me to scurity, better nature.

(18:41):
Mister Garrety, you're not Hickey? You bet, I'm not your
fool to up from outside? Now what The next feature
is an interview with a gentleman named Spider who seems
to be in charge of operations. Come on, hello, Spider,

(19:05):
who's that Rudner? Oh? Eredy? No, wh who is it?
My name is Lamont Crimston. What he there's a bridge
a few miles ahead of a Belvedere canyon, Spider and
they're uprails missing and let us drop two thousand feet.
I think you better start slowing down.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
What are you giving me the truth?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Put on those break Look, mister, we're aboard to lay
hands on a certain piece of merchandise. That's all we
got in a mind.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Just at the moment.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
That piece of merchandise wouldn't be the giant of Madras
with it.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
So you're wise.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Suppose I was to tell you how to lay your
hands on the merchandise in Christian Spider, You mean you
know where the diamondees could be? Slow down, we'll talk.
Better talk now, mister Cranston.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
The mart it's a conductive madgis corn.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yes, I'm not mistaken the mister Gan and we've been
hearing so much about where's the diamond Cranston, you better
talk past is not much time. I've changed my mind.
I've forgotten where the timand is less than a quarter
of a mile away, just around the bend.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Maybe you better tell 'em ma, mam. No, it's not
just our lives. There are eighty passengers support.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
See lady's right arounding the cab.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
I'm not wearing that stretch of pine woods.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
He told us about.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
There's a tunnel straight ahead. Ready to talk, cranching? I
told you now, if you want me to stop, horse,
better tell me now another fifty yards. You'd be too
late to teach you to mind. Am I crashing? Cracking
now about? It's the tunnel where the tunnel matress or
gunnet or case spider had I.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
All what I through the tunnel. We didn't fall, the
tracks went out. You made that up to trick la

(20:49):
morn into telling you where the diamond was.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
I won't slick him anymore. I use a gun instead.
Am I cranching west? Hey? Where is he? He was
standing right there? What's that front? I'm right here beside
to control, but there's nobody there. That's how money I cantlen.
The shadow is here here to see that this little
adventure ends in proper justice. Up the train, spider, Let's

(21:11):
get out of this.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
I I can't stop me.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Something is holding my hand. I turned moles dear. He
can't count, and I'm holding him. This train goes down
to the main line junction and the next police station. Uh,
that's a game, troken place. Come here, set I train spider.
Those of this thing's over the side. This time it's
no take. I'll give you the count of pay one's whole.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Pray set so you have to controls.

Speaker 2 (21:40):

I'm sorry to have waited until the last minute, but
I am an old woman and I.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Have never killed before in.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
My whole life.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Oh, don't apologize. I I'll never be able to thank
you enough to do.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
You know I have to thank you. Mm if you
would have resigned the Giant of.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Matters, you will not have to look for it. Arah,
what what?

Speaker 4 (22:08):
Why?

Speaker 1 (22:09):
The Giant of mattress is not lost? Your husband was
a good and quick judge of human nature in the emergency,
Knowing that the train had been taken over by thieves,
but the express purpose of stealing the diamond, he entrusted
it to mister Cranston's care by the simple expedient of
dropping it into his pocket. Here is the dure.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Look, look the Giant of matches. It is coming. Taught
you suspend it in the air. No one is holding it.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Look, yes, someone is holding it. I am holding it. Arab,
I am returning it to you.
