Speaker 1 (00:18):
Oh, what evil looks in the hearts of men? The
shadow now.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
The shadows serious character who aid the forces of law
and order is, in reality the Monk Cranston, wealthy.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Young man about count.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
That's the shadow. Clanston is gifted with hypnotic power to
cloud men's minds so that they cannot see.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Cranston's friend and companions, the lovely Margoling. You're the only
person who knows to whom the voice of the invisible shadow.
The law today story The Killers run.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Pez with my Margo and La Mott, lying westward, high
above the clouds in a silver wing Cussinger.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Oh, dear Bard, Oh no, no, not at all.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
A month.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Perhaps you'd like to play a little game you mean, card, No,
just the pastime that I've been indulging in for the
last fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well what is it, Lamont, Well.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It has to do with our fellow passengers.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Oh, good, sounds interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I've been watching their mannerisms and behavior, trying to guess
just what sort of persons they are.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
And what they do. Oh that sounds like fun.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well what have you discovered so far? Well, my number
one exhibit is that tall, heavy set chat sitting just
across the ile.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
How would you classify in margot?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh no, that's not slam You got a head start
tell me.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Your deduction all right. He's a graduate of State University
GASA thirty two. He's married, has two children, and he
sells jewelry. Precious Jem.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Now just a minute, mister Holmes, how did you find
all that out?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Very simple idea Watson contact the element fig Please lamon,
tell me how did you learn all that? Why should
I devote by the secrets of the trade?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Doctor, come on, lamon, tell her I shouldn't do this. Well,
how did you know about the universe? The class ring
on his finger? I noticed it when he reached back.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
For his wallet, and the family their picture fell out
of the wallet when he opened him any profession.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That tiny leather case that he's holding so nervously under
his arm, that type of case is carried by jewel salesman.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You very cool.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, let's hear about some of the others. Now, well, uh,
that man sitting directly in front of our jewel salesman,
he's a bit more difficult. Why he's a fussy old
Jem's a bit of a hypochondriac. I'd say he's been
constantly having the stewardess fetching glasses of water, which he
uses to down the endless succession of pills. Well maybe
(03:07):
it's an invalid I don't think so. Something puzzling about him,
That old man appears to be constantly watching for something,
waiting for something to happen.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Ah, intrigue. Well what his suppose is going to happen?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
You really want to know him? M h, nothing much.
You spoil every press. Now wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
That leaves only two more passengers.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
What about those two.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Up in the front too.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Ah, now you've come to something. I've been saving them
for my climax.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
If you'd notice them more closely, Margot, when they bought
the plane, you'd have seen that they were handcuffed to
each other. What evidently the detective and his prisoner on
their way to the state penitentiary.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, of all things I'd never associate.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Why. Look, the stewardess is coming through the plane, giving
instructions to the other passengers. I wonder what's up? Well,
no one a second? She comes, pretty thing, isn't she?
Ask you? I wonder if you would mind adjusting your
safety belts? Please, we're going to land soon. Are we
nearing the city? No, but we've gotten word of severe
(04:12):
storm ahead, so we're landing at another field until it
flows over. Judge a precaution, very well, oh, lamar, I
hope we're not the land too long. That seems to
be the feeling that you share with a fellow passengers.
Judging by their appearance, they're not pleased with it either.
I noticed that. Well, one thing, Margot, if we are
grounded for long, we'll be with some very interesting companions.
(04:45):
I'm very sorry to have to tell all of you
that word has just come through. We'll probably be grounded
for the night.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Rother, what's this?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
What's this?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Rounded for the night?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Why?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
That's an outrage? An outrage? Spects me some water.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Let's take a pill at once.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
The old man is running through to type.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes, we can't stay in this little hanger all night.
My jewels Els has provoked to Margot.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Guess you know the only one who seem n such
of the detective in his prison.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yes, please, gentlemen.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Oh wait, the stewardess wants to talk. We might as
well hear what she's got to say.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
We've arranged for a car to come here. It's outside now.
I don't suppose it can get very far in this storm,
but it can take you all to a small inn
up the road.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Take us to an inn? You mean we're spending the
night around here?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (05:28):
It is that what I understand.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I'm afraid you'll have to Oh no, oh, we've gotten
more of the old roads leading to any of the towns.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
That's like, well, I've got to get through.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I can't spend the night here. Well, it doesn't look
as if we had much choice, so I think we
should all make the best of it. Perhaps we'd better
introduce ourselves. I'm a month Creston, and this is miss Lake.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
And Lane, Eh, Cranston and Lane. My name's Cosston. It's
almost the same. I made a poem, didn't I. That's
a hot one. Is that girl with my water? I
got to take my pail with knight too.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Met Poters, Well, my name is Waterman. I'm happy to meet.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
All the same here, same thing.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I am sorry that you're not able to get through,
mister Waterman. Yes, it's quite upsetting. I have a delivery
to make you, see, the most important one. I have
it here with me in this case. Oh well, if
it's something of value, mister Waterman, perhaps perhaps you could
leave it here on the plan. No, no, no, no,
I'll carry it with me. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
What about the detective in the prisoner a moment?
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Oh yes, sir, I didn't get your names, gentlemen, our names. Yes,
we're just two guys named Smith.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Here's what kept you?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
What kept you for?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I don't feel like a pill now, and don't tell
me I look like one.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, then the car is waiting, folks. Oh, thank you.
I guess we better get all going. Come on, Muggle,
you know something, Muggle, I have a feeling that this
is not going to be a dull evening. I guess
(07:09):
we've reached our destination.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Is that where we're spending in the night?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That place, I guess, so cheerful looking thought? What there
is left over?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Ye?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
A woman's right cheerful and it helps you's been chack casting.
It's just here to be some sort of a roadhouse.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You see the sign above the door, the rendezvous rendezvoo.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Rendezvous sounds like a nightclub.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I imagine it was at one time, judging Bride's broken
down appearance, that time.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
As long since past.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Well are we going in?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Might as well?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
And you take my coat? Mogo, it's raining pretty high.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You come on, everybody you want a head?
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Mogo?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
What an experience? What an experience?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Where am I? Don't you we get those fool pills? Possible?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No, how about the too, missus Smith's you're getting out, gentlemen? Yeah, yeah,
come on, you'll return first in the morning. Driver, right, fine,
good night?
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Good?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
What's the matter?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Why you are standing outside? Very funny?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
That question is, mamm The door is locked.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No one seems to answered open up in there getting soaked?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I'm getting soaked. Why doesn't someone answer?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Someone in there?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Oh? What is it? What do you want? I didn't
want to get in out of the rain. Why why
do you wish to come in here? Good to heavens man.
We're getting grinned and I'm sorry. The in is Oh no,
you don't close that door, My folks paying no attention
to him.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Come on, you can't do this.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You can't come in, but we are in. Somebody close
that door? Who are you? Why did you come here?
Our plane was ground to say we understood that you
could put us up for the night. Oh oh, stupid
than me. I I remember now they is they called
(08:52):
about you? Oh? Then you have rooms words? Oh yes, yes,
I oh good.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Uh this is miss Lane.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
How do you do? Mister Waterman? How do you do?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
And?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Uh? Two gentlemen named Smith Lane cousin Waterman and two
gentlemen Nights. Why it's yes, had two gentlemen names Smith?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Where are the rooms? Where are the rooms in this place?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
There upstairs? The rooms are upstairs? And get some more
than start a fire. You must be uncomfortable from the rain.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Hi, I'll be back and give you the creeps. Wouldn't
he wouldn't he give you the creeps?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
That's the one I'll find the Smith brothers going upstairs. Yes,
they haven't much liking for our company. I imagine though,
that the detective preferred to put his prisoner in a
room where he can keep a close watch on him.
I don't know how the rest of you feel, but
I don't like this place. Something about the atmosphere and
that old man. I wouldn't worry about him, mister Waterman.
After all, we're all in the same You heard.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
That we're shots. I may be a nervous wreck, but
I know shots when I.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yes, and they came from upstairs.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
He come down here? Did you see him?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Who are you talking about? My prisoner? He escape? Did
you see him? No, he didn't come down the stairs.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Well he's got my way.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Now listen, all of you. You've got to help me. Well,
what happened?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
I was taking up man of the state prison. He
was a dangerous criminal, yes, but how did he escape?
Just slipped out of the cups. When I got up
the head of the stairs. I fired at him, but
it was too dark up there to see anything.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Then he must still be up there. Yes, yes, that's right.
We better go look for it. Will you fellas help me?
I certainly I will, and you water just a minute.
I don't think you'd better include me in that? Why not?
But I prefer to remain down here.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
That's all. Well, if he stays, I stay, that's all
theas to it.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Very well, Corson, you want to stay here too, Margo, No,
I should say not.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
I'm coming with you.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Let's go there.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I have a flest here I have to run through.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Fine, Now, why don't you search that car and then
we'll go.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Down this way?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Okay? If you see anything? Halla right, come on.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Monro, come on, do you think the man is still
in the house.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I don't know. Why are you supposed to?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Warman refused to join.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
In the search.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
He might be concerned about his jewels.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Did you notice how quickly old Carson volunteered to say whether, Yes, yes,
I did notice that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
But there was something else that happened downstairs that was
more important than either of those things.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
What was that the.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Behavior of the old innkeeper.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Did you notice his startled expression of recognition when he
saw the detective and the criminal? Yes, jeez, I did
notice that he knew that criminal. I'm sure of it.
There's a look about that old man in his roadhouse
that has the familiar ring of a criminal background. Do
you think that this is a gang hangout? No, not anymore. No,
but it could have been a few years back in
(11:39):
prohibition days, you know, Margaux, it's fairly possible that the
old man not only knew the criminal, but he might
even have helped him escape.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Do you really think that?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yes, But there's only one way to prove it. That
old man is going to receive a visit right now
from the shadow.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Out here in the rain chopping wood.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
There's really no need for a fire. They'll all be
warm enough tonight. Yes, with a killer loose. Huh? What
was that? I've come to pay a call on you,
old man who speaks to me? I am called the shadow?
(12:38):
Where are you? And I see no one? That's true.
By my hypnotic power, I have made myself quite invisible
to your eyes when you wanted me. I want you
to answer some questions. What about did you know any
of the people who came here tonight? No, you're lying
to me. You knew one of the men who was
introduced to you as mister Smith. I don't know what
(13:01):
you're talking about. He wouldn't have been an old criminal
acquaintance of yours, would he. Do you mean someone that
you might have known in the old days when it's.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
In with a criminal hideout?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Who told you that? It's true? Then this was a
gang hideout that was a long time ago, but not
so long ago that you wouldn't remember an old companion.
Am I right? What are you driving at? That criminal
that you recognized was being taken to the state prison
a few minutes ago. He escaped from the detective that
(13:34):
was guarding him.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
He escaped.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He's at large in this roadhouse, and I think you
helped him get away. No, no, you're all wrong. But
you knew him, didn't you. Hey, Yes, yes, I knew
him all right, But I didn't help him.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
How can you prove that.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I'll show you how. I'll go with you. I'll go
with you to the detective that was guarding him and
tell him all I know. Oh, come back here, come back.
Oh comments he's sick.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I can't tell anymore.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
After all, what were those shot?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Old man?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
The old inn? People were shotting?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Killed with the criminal? Is gave criminal?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
He did? Did anyone see the killer? No? We just
heard the shops outside.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
When we got out there, the.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Murder was gone.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Water night, well, then night, get me some water, somebody,
I need a pill. What are we going to do?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Well?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
I had got a phone, the queen.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Dead wires and I'm cut.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
No one can go out and it's still I'm eating.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
What can we do?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Well, we'll just have to stay httle morning. I guess
where the car comes for? Looks eentlemen, there's something I
must tell you? Yes, what is it? Mister watermer? In
this leather case, I have some very valuable merchandise. Did
something that the killer would be very anxious to get
his hands on. I must ask all of you to
help me protect him.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Don't you worry, Waterman, We'll take care of you. My
only real concern now is to capture that man I
am responsible for. Will tell me did you see any
trace of him upstairs?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh? Not a sign of him. See well, I have
a suggestion to make, and I think that you all
should follow it. Right, what what is it? All of
us should go to our room. That is, all of
us except you. Detective Detective Hawkins is the name. Thank you.
I think that Detective Hawkens should stand God, and the
rest of us should try to get some sleep.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Get sleep, Get sleep with a killer running loose?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Are you crazy? Right? Carson, my escape person, I think
we've all turned in. He might come out of hiding.
But mister Christon, would we be safe in our room?
I think so, mister Waterman. At the first sign of
anything suspicious, I suggest that we call out. Well, he's
the best thing to do. We'll do it on the protest.
Only on the protest, I understand.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Come on hard this night better end soon. I'm running
out of tell.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
A month. Why did you want everyone to go to
their rooms?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
He's us? Perhaps the danger would be just as break downstairs.
He's had morglays. I wanted to talk to you alone,
was downstairs when the old man was shut, right outside
the door. Yes, who is missing from the room, Well
the detective of course. And oh oh yes, mister Carson. Carson,
(16:32):
I wondered about him. What do you mean that old
boy is doing his act too well? His kills and
his nervousness are too conspicuous to be genuine. Do you
think that he's in league with a man who escaped?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It's something mighty strange about his behavior, Laman.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Did you learn anything that old man back to before
he was killed?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Not anything that really counted. He knew the criminal, all right.
He seemed just on the verge of revealing something important
about him when he was shut. Why do you suppose
mister Waterman wanted I asked about his case of jewels.
I can't think of that either, unless he maybe did
one protection I must say I don't trust him either.
That was that I don't know. Come on, coming from
(17:12):
the room here then, is water Yes, he's been hit
on my head, mug, help me lift him upon? Oh
my jewel? Did you hear that mamma, what's wrong? What wrong?
Mister waterman? He was a test good n waterman was
hit on my head. He should be coming to give
him and I'll just take it easier. Man, I robbed,
(17:38):
I was robbed. Well, tell us who did it? Did
you see anyone? Oh? That was terribly I was hitting
my case, was taking my case of jewels, and it
is terrible. This is term. Wait a minute, who said that?
That was? Mister case coursa. I have some questions and
i'd like you to answer. What do you mean you've
got my jewels? Yes, he has, I said, hez he's crazy.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
He doesn't know what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Oh, yes, I do. I know that you've been follow
me ever since I left New York. You can't deny that.
Tell you well, no, that blow has effected his head.
You see, he doesn't answer my questions. Why don't you
answer him? Cassly?
Speaker 5 (18:12):
You'll keep out of this none of your business.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
No forgetting that. I am a detective castle and it
is my get up. Just let me get up. I'll
make him and then he stole my jewels.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Let me know.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You'd better go to your room. Man, there may be
some trouble here all right, but you'll get up here.
Just let me get up and I'll give him the
same creaqumenty gay lass an outrage an outrage.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Hey, you don't believe him, do you?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Gentlemen? Never mind, you're innocent, Park Carson. This is no
innocent talk. It's the truth. I can prove them that model.
Something happened to us. Follow Fogle right here, the monk
for you?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
All right?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yes, it looks a body, a dead spody. Yes, I
opened this door. I thought it was my room, was
a closet. Miss Lane just discovered a funny Holy smoke?
Is it your missing criminal? Yeah, yes, it's him. He's dead.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Carson again, Let Carson's behind this whole thing. I don't
get it yet, but I'm going to soon enough. I
am taking that guy downstairs and giving him a good
going over.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Are you going with him?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
The mark?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
No? Not, just Chef Margo. I'd like to examine this
body more thoroughly. Why what do you expect to find out?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I'll let you know in a minute.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Let me see you. Ah, this is interesting. Do you
see the marks of a handcuff on this man's wrist?
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I just want you to remember that these marks are
on his left wrist. Margo, I don't understand. You will presently.
I let's have a look under the code, just as
I suspected. Okay, a very clear imprint of a shoulder
holster under the left armpit.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
What did that prove?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Just come with me, Margo, you'll find out. Where are
we going downstairs? I wish I knew what you were
talking about. Be patient, Mongol, just be patient. Oh, we've
got some news for him, as Cranston. Now that we
found this gun on the Carson gent so he tells
us that he's a private investigator who is hired by
(20:13):
Waterman's company to protect it. That's the truth.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I can show you my credentials.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I can prove it. You never heard of any investigator
who was hired to protect you? Did you want him
to know? Of course? Now you've got to believe me.
I do believe you, mister Carson. Huh what do you say?
I said that I believe mister Carson's story. Are you crazy?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I even believe that I know who really stole mister
Waterman Fuels. Who was it?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
You?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Mister Hawkins me, But he's a detectivest I'm not so
sure that he is. What do you mean. I've just
finished examining that body upstairs, mister Hawkins, the body of
your supposed escaped criminal, and several very revealing facts. Is
that what? First of all, I discovered handcuff marks on
(20:58):
his left wrist means that he was linked to your
right wrist. Don't you think it unusual that you, a detective,
should have changed your right hand, the hand you hold
that gun in now? You don't know what you're talking about,
Oh yes, I do. Another thing I found on that
body was the imprint of a shoulder hoster. I've never
known criminals on their way to jail to carry gun. Well,
(21:20):
what are you trying to say? Simply this, that dead
man upstairs was the real detective, mister Hawkins, and you
you are the criminals. Why are you I'll thank you
to give me that gun? Okay, okay, well stand where
you are, all of you. Well you see what happened
to one guy who got smart?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Too smart?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You can't do that up. I killed two guys. Tonight's
sister and the night ain't know o the Why what
do you mean by that? This place where in now
is an old hangout of mine. We had a lot
of excitement here one night a few years thanks five guys.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Dog.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, right in this room too, lined up right at
that bar over there. Oh please stop. Yeah, that's why
I had to kill that old man Baxter. He remembered me.
Get away from are you watermen room over there? No
you don't, I said, in that room, so pretty brave
(22:22):
with that gun in my ribs are going tug. I'm
going to use him later on for a little scene. Stay.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Are you are mad? Hawkins?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Maybe are right, but you're going to enjoy this scene. Yeah,
you all play important parts in it. The parts are
the ones who was shot in that old gang killing.
Are you killing up too? Yeah? You get the idea.
But first we got to be authentic. It was all
(22:52):
done with music that Nikola the slut piano was playing.
We've got that at first. Oh you're all gonna like you?
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Oh please don't, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Sang Fanny os. Yeah, I can remember it like it
was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I like your ashumor mister Hawkins.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Now, ain't that too fast? No? Line up in the bar,
all of you so, no, you can't do this now
get over there. I'll just turn you back you two sisters.
It'll all be over in just one minute. What happened? Sorry,
(23:43):
just for your little scene. Mister Hawkins, who was that
who spoke? You might know me, mister Hawkins as the
Shadow you again, So where are you? Come on? I
see you. I prefer to remain invisible. I can deal
with you better that way. You ain't dealing with me,
not like take care of them first.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Put down that gun, Try.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
And make me well. I got it. I give him
to you now, gentlemen, he's your prisoner. I've got him.

Pez with my Margo and La Mott, lying westward, high

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Oh, dear Bard, Oh no, no, not at all.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
A month.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Perhaps you'd like to play a little game you mean, card, No,
just the pastime that I've been indulging in for the
last fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well what is it, Lamont, Well.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It has to do with our fellow passengers.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Oh, good, sounds interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I've been watching their mannerisms and behavior, trying to guess
just what sort of persons they are.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
And what they do. Oh that sounds like fun.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well what have you discovered so far? Well, my number
one exhibit is that tall, heavy set chat sitting just
across the ile.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
How would you classify in margot?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh no, that's not slam You got a head start
tell me.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Your deduction all right. He's a graduate of State University
GASA thirty two. He's married, has two children, and he
sells jewelry. Precious Jem.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Now just a minute, mister Holmes, how did you find
all that out?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Very simple idea Watson contact the element fig Please lamon,
tell me how did you learn all that? Why should
I devote by the secrets of the trade?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Doctor, come on, lamon, tell her I shouldn't do this. Well,
how did you know about the universe? The class ring
on his finger? I noticed it when he reached back.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
For his wallet, and the family their picture fell out
of the wallet when he opened him any profession.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That tiny leather case that he's holding so nervously under
his arm, that type of case is carried by jewel salesman.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You very cool.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, let's hear about some of the others. Now, well, uh,
that man sitting directly in front of our jewel salesman,
he's a bit more difficult. Why he's a fussy old
Jem's a bit of a hypochondriac. I'd say he's been
constantly having the stewardess fetching glasses of water, which he
uses to down the endless succession of pills. Well maybe
(03:07):
it's an invalid I don't think so. Something puzzling about him,
That old man appears to be constantly watching for something,
waiting for something to happen.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Ah, intrigue. Well what his suppose is going to happen?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
You really want to know him? M h, nothing much.
You spoil every press. Now wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
That leaves only two more passengers.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
What about those two.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Up in the front too.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Ah, now you've come to something. I've been saving them
for my climax.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
If you'd notice them more closely, Margot, when they bought
the plane, you'd have seen that they were handcuffed to
each other. What evidently the detective and his prisoner on
their way to the state penitentiary.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, of all things I'd never associate.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Why. Look, the stewardess is coming through the plane, giving
instructions to the other passengers. I wonder what's up? Well,
no one a second? She comes, pretty thing, isn't she?
Ask you? I wonder if you would mind adjusting your
safety belts? Please, we're going to land soon. Are we
nearing the city? No, but we've gotten word of severe
(04:12):
storm ahead, so we're landing at another field until it
flows over. Judge a precaution, very well, oh, lamar, I
hope we're not the land too long. That seems to
be the feeling that you share with a fellow passengers.
Judging by their appearance, they're not pleased with it either.
I noticed that. Well, one thing, Margot, if we are
grounded for long, we'll be with some very interesting companions.
(04:45):
I'm very sorry to have to tell all of you
that word has just come through. We'll probably be grounded
for the night.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Rother, what's this?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
What's this?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Rounded for the night?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Why?
Speaker 5 (04:54):
That's an outrage? An outrage? Spects me some water.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Let's take a pill at once.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
The old man is running through to type.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes, we can't stay in this little hanger all night.
My jewels Els has provoked to Margot.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Guess you know the only one who seem n such
of the detective in his prison.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yes, please, gentlemen.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Oh wait, the stewardess wants to talk. We might as
well hear what she's got to say.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
We've arranged for a car to come here. It's outside now.
I don't suppose it can get very far in this storm,
but it can take you all to a small inn
up the road.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Take us to an inn? You mean we're spending the
night around here?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (05:28):
It is that what I understand.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I'm afraid you'll have to Oh no, oh, we've gotten
more of the old roads leading to any of the towns.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
That's like, well, I've got to get through.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I can't spend the night here. Well, it doesn't look
as if we had much choice, so I think we
should all make the best of it. Perhaps we'd better
introduce ourselves. I'm a month Creston, and this is miss Lake.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
And Lane, Eh, Cranston and Lane. My name's Cosston. It's
almost the same. I made a poem, didn't I. That's
a hot one. Is that girl with my water? I
got to take my pail with knight too.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Met Poters, Well, my name is Waterman. I'm happy to meet.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
All the same here, same thing.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I am sorry that you're not able to get through,
mister Waterman. Yes, it's quite upsetting. I have a delivery
to make you, see, the most important one. I have
it here with me in this case. Oh well, if
it's something of value, mister Waterman, perhaps perhaps you could
leave it here on the plan. No, no, no, no,
I'll carry it with me. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
What about the detective in the prisoner a moment?
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Oh yes, sir, I didn't get your names, gentlemen, our names. Yes,
we're just two guys named Smith.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Here's what kept you?
Speaker 5 (06:34):
What kept you for?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I don't feel like a pill now, and don't tell
me I look like one.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, then the car is waiting, folks. Oh, thank you.
I guess we better get all going. Come on, Muggle,
you know something, Muggle, I have a feeling that this
is not going to be a dull evening. I guess
(07:09):
we've reached our destination.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Is that where we're spending in the night?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That place, I guess, so cheerful looking thought? What there
is left over?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Ye?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
A woman's right cheerful and it helps you's been chack casting.
It's just here to be some sort of a roadhouse.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You see the sign above the door, the rendezvous rendezvoo.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Rendezvous sounds like a nightclub.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I imagine it was at one time, judging Bride's broken
down appearance, that time.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
As long since past.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Well are we going in?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Might as well?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
And you take my coat? Mogo, it's raining pretty high.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You come on, everybody you want a head?
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Mogo?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
What an experience? What an experience?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Where am I? Don't you we get those fool pills? Possible?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No, how about the too, missus Smith's you're getting out, gentlemen? Yeah, yeah,
come on, you'll return first in the morning. Driver, right, fine,
good night?
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Good?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
What's the matter?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Why you are standing outside? Very funny?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
That question is, mamm The door is locked.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No one seems to answered open up in there getting soaked?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I'm getting soaked. Why doesn't someone answer?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Someone in there?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Oh? What is it? What do you want? I didn't
want to get in out of the rain. Why why
do you wish to come in here? Good to heavens man.
We're getting grinned and I'm sorry. The in is Oh no,
you don't close that door, My folks paying no attention
to him.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Come on, you can't do this.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You can't come in, but we are in. Somebody close
that door? Who are you? Why did you come here?
Our plane was ground to say we understood that you
could put us up for the night. Oh oh, stupid
than me. I I remember now they is they called
(08:52):
about you? Oh? Then you have rooms words? Oh yes, yes,
I oh good.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Uh this is miss Lane.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
How do you do? Mister Waterman? How do you do?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
And?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Uh? Two gentlemen named Smith Lane cousin Waterman and two
gentlemen Nights. Why it's yes, had two gentlemen names Smith?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Where are the rooms? Where are the rooms in this place?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
There upstairs? The rooms are upstairs? And get some more
than start a fire. You must be uncomfortable from the rain.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Hi, I'll be back and give you the creeps. Wouldn't
he wouldn't he give you the creeps?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
That's the one I'll find the Smith brothers going upstairs. Yes,
they haven't much liking for our company. I imagine though,
that the detective preferred to put his prisoner in a
room where he can keep a close watch on him.
I don't know how the rest of you feel, but
I don't like this place. Something about the atmosphere and
that old man. I wouldn't worry about him, mister Waterman.
After all, we're all in the same You heard.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
That we're shots. I may be a nervous wreck, but
I know shots when I.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yes, and they came from upstairs.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
He come down here? Did you see him?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Who are you talking about? My prisoner? He escape? Did
you see him? No, he didn't come down the stairs.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Well he's got my way.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Now listen, all of you. You've got to help me. Well,
what happened?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
I was taking up man of the state prison. He
was a dangerous criminal, yes, but how did he escape?
Just slipped out of the cups. When I got up
the head of the stairs. I fired at him, but
it was too dark up there to see anything.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Then he must still be up there. Yes, yes, that's right.
We better go look for it. Will you fellas help me?
I certainly I will, and you water just a minute.
I don't think you'd better include me in that? Why not?
But I prefer to remain down here.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
That's all. Well, if he stays, I stay, that's all
theas to it.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Very well, Corson, you want to stay here too, Margo, No,
I should say not.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
I'm coming with you.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Let's go there.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I have a flest here I have to run through.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Fine, Now, why don't you search that car and then
we'll go.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Down this way?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Okay? If you see anything? Halla right, come on.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Monro, come on, do you think the man is still
in the house.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I don't know. Why are you supposed to?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Warman refused to join.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
In the search.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
He might be concerned about his jewels.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Did you notice how quickly old Carson volunteered to say whether, Yes, yes,
I did notice that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
But there was something else that happened downstairs that was
more important than either of those things.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
What was that the.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Behavior of the old innkeeper.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Did you notice his startled expression of recognition when he
saw the detective and the criminal? Yes, jeez, I did
notice that he knew that criminal. I'm sure of it.
There's a look about that old man in his roadhouse
that has the familiar ring of a criminal background. Do
you think that this is a gang hangout? No, not anymore. No,
but it could have been a few years back in
(11:39):
prohibition days, you know, Margaux, it's fairly possible that the
old man not only knew the criminal, but he might
even have helped him escape.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Do you really think that?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yes, But there's only one way to prove it. That
old man is going to receive a visit right now
from the shadow.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Out here in the rain chopping wood.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
There's really no need for a fire. They'll all be
warm enough tonight. Yes, with a killer loose. Huh? What
was that? I've come to pay a call on you,
old man who speaks to me? I am called the shadow?
(12:38):
Where are you? And I see no one? That's true.
By my hypnotic power, I have made myself quite invisible
to your eyes when you wanted me. I want you
to answer some questions. What about did you know any
of the people who came here tonight? No, you're lying
to me. You knew one of the men who was
introduced to you as mister Smith. I don't know what
(13:01):
you're talking about. He wouldn't have been an old criminal
acquaintance of yours, would he. Do you mean someone that
you might have known in the old days when it's.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
In with a criminal hideout?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Who told you that? It's true? Then this was a
gang hideout that was a long time ago, but not
so long ago that you wouldn't remember an old companion.
Am I right? What are you driving at? That criminal
that you recognized was being taken to the state prison
a few minutes ago. He escaped from the detective that
(13:34):
was guarding him.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
He escaped.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
He's at large in this roadhouse, and I think you
helped him get away. No, no, you're all wrong. But
you knew him, didn't you. Hey, Yes, yes, I knew
him all right, But I didn't help him.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
How can you prove that.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I'll show you how. I'll go with you. I'll go
with you to the detective that was guarding him and
tell him all I know. Oh, come back here, come back.
Oh comments he's sick.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I can't tell anymore.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
After all, what were those shot?
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Old man?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
The old inn? People were shotting?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Killed with the criminal? Is gave criminal?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
He did? Did anyone see the killer? No? We just
heard the shops outside.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
When we got out there, the.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Murder was gone.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Water night, well, then night, get me some water, somebody,
I need a pill. What are we going to do?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Well?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
I had got a phone, the queen.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Dead wires and I'm cut.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
No one can go out and it's still I'm eating.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
What can we do?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Well, we'll just have to stay httle morning. I guess
where the car comes for? Looks eentlemen, there's something I
must tell you? Yes, what is it? Mister watermer? In
this leather case, I have some very valuable merchandise. Did
something that the killer would be very anxious to get
his hands on. I must ask all of you to
help me protect him.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Don't you worry, Waterman, We'll take care of you. My
only real concern now is to capture that man I
am responsible for. Will tell me did you see any
trace of him upstairs?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh? Not a sign of him. See well, I have
a suggestion to make, and I think that you all
should follow it. Right, what what is it? All of
us should go to our room. That is, all of
us except you. Detective Detective Hawkins is the name. Thank you.
I think that Detective Hawkens should stand God, and the
rest of us should try to get some sleep.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Get sleep, Get sleep with a killer running loose?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Are you crazy? Right? Carson, my escape person, I think
we've all turned in. He might come out of hiding.
But mister Christon, would we be safe in our room?
I think so, mister Waterman. At the first sign of
anything suspicious, I suggest that we call out. Well, he's
the best thing to do. We'll do it on the protest.
Only on the protest, I understand.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Come on hard this night better end soon. I'm running
out of tell.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
A month. Why did you want everyone to go to
their rooms?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
He's us? Perhaps the danger would be just as break downstairs.
He's had morglays. I wanted to talk to you alone,
was downstairs when the old man was shut, right outside
the door. Yes, who is missing from the room, Well
the detective of course. And oh oh yes, mister Carson. Carson,
(16:32):
I wondered about him. What do you mean that old
boy is doing his act too well? His kills and
his nervousness are too conspicuous to be genuine. Do you
think that he's in league with a man who escaped?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It's something mighty strange about his behavior, Laman.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Did you learn anything that old man back to before
he was killed?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Not anything that really counted. He knew the criminal, all right.
He seemed just on the verge of revealing something important
about him when he was shut. Why do you suppose
mister Waterman wanted I asked about his case of jewels.
I can't think of that either, unless he maybe did
one protection I must say I don't trust him either.
That was that I don't know. Come on, coming from
(17:12):
the room here then, is water Yes, he's been hit
on my head, mug, help me lift him upon? Oh

He doesn't know what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Oh, yes, I do. I know that you've been follow
me ever since I left New York. You can't deny that.
Tell you well, no, that blow has effected his head.
You see, he doesn't answer my questions. Why don't you

Speaker 5 (18:12):
You'll keep out of this none of your business.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
No forgetting that. I am a detective castle and it
is my get up. Just let me get up. I'll
make him and then he stole my jewels.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Let me know.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You'd better go to your room. Man, there may be
some trouble here all right, but you'll get up here.
Just let me get up and I'll give him the
same creaqumenty gay lass an outrage an outrage.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
Hey, you don't believe him, do you?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Gentlemen? Never mind, you're innocent, Park Carson. This is no
innocent talk. It's the truth. I can prove them that model.
Something happened to us. Follow Fogle right here, the monk
for you?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
All right?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yes, it looks a body, a dead spody. Yes, I
opened this door. I thought it was my room, was
a closet. Miss Lane just discovered a funny Holy smoke?
Is it your missing criminal? Yeah, yes, it's him. He's dead.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Carson again, Let Carson's behind this whole thing. I don't
get it yet, but I'm going to soon enough. I
am taking that guy downstairs and giving him a good
going over.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Are you going with him?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
The mark?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
No? Not, just Chef Margo. I'd like to examine this
body more thoroughly. Why what do you expect to find out?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I'll let you know in a minute.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Let me see you. Ah, this is interesting. Do you
see the marks of a handcuff on this man's wrist?
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I just want you to remember that these marks are
on his left wrist. Margo, I don't understand. You will presently.
I let's have a look under the code, just as
I suspected. Okay, a very clear imprint of a shoulder
holster under the left armpit.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
What did that prove?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Just come with me, Margo, you'll find out. Where are
we going downstairs? I wish I knew what you were
talking about. Be patient, Mongol, just be patient. Oh, we've
got some news for him, as Cranston. Now that we
found this gun on the Carson gent so he tells
us that he's a private investigator who is hired by
(20:13):
Waterman's company to protect it. That's the truth.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I can show you my credentials.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I can prove it. You never heard of any investigator
who was hired to protect you? Did you want him
to know? Of course? Now you've got to believe me.
I do believe you, mister Carson. Huh what do you say?
I said that I believe mister Carson's story. Are you crazy?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I even believe that I know who really stole mister
Waterman Fuels. Who was it?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
You?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Mister Hawkins me, But he's a detectivest I'm not so
sure that he is. What do you mean. I've just
finished examining that body upstairs, mister Hawkins, the body of
your supposed escaped criminal, and several very revealing facts. Is
that what? First of all, I discovered handcuff marks on
(20:58):
his left wrist means that he was linked to your
right wrist. Don't you think it unusual that you, a detective,
should have changed your right hand, the hand you hold
that gun in now? You don't know what you're talking about,
Oh yes, I do. Another thing I found on that
body was the imprint of a shoulder hoster. I've never
known criminals on their way to jail to carry gun. Well,
(21:20):
what are you trying to say? Simply this, that dead
man upstairs was the real detective, mister Hawkins, and you
you are the criminals. Why are you I'll thank you
to give me that gun? Okay, okay, well stand where
you are, all of you. Well you see what happened
to one guy who got smart?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Too smart?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You can't do that up. I killed two guys. Tonight's
sister and the night ain't know o the Why what
do you mean by that? This place where in now
is an old hangout of mine. We had a lot
of excitement here one night a few years thanks five guys.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Dog.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, right in this room too, lined up right at
that bar over there. Oh please stop. Yeah, that's why
I had to kill that old man Baxter. He remembered me.
Get away from are you watermen room over there? No
you don't, I said, in that room, so pretty brave
(22:22):
with that gun in my ribs are going tug. I'm
going to use him later on for a little scene. Stay.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Are you are mad? Hawkins?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Maybe are right, but you're going to enjoy this scene. Yeah,
you all play important parts in it. The parts are
the ones who was shot in that old gang killing.
Are you killing up too? Yeah? You get the idea.
But first we got to be authentic. It was all
(22:52):
done with music that Nikola the slut piano was playing.
We've got that at first. Oh you're all gonna like you?
Speaker 4 (23:04):

was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (23:16):

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Now, ain't that too fast? No? Line up in the bar,
all of you so, no, you can't do this now
get over there. I'll just turn you back you two sisters.
It'll all be over in just one minute. What happened? Sorry,

who spoke? You might know me, mister Hawkins as the
Shadow you again, So where are you? Come on? I

with you better that way. You ain't dealing with me,
