Oh oonarks are men.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Shadow.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
The shadow who waits the forces of law and order
is in reality, Lamont Clanston, wealthy young man about town.
Years ago in the Orient, Clanston learned a strange and
mysterious secret, the hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so
they cannot see him. Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely
Marble Lane, is the only person who knows to whom

(00:59):
the voice of the invisible shadow belong.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Today's brother, the man who.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Was dead.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
In a heavy concrete subseller of a forgotten warehouse. Two
men in white lap jackets stand tensely watching a giant,
massive laboratory machinery. There is the plant of electric power,
the click of a stopwatch, nothing more.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
An experiment is beginning. One two, three, doesn't take the
near Hendricks, No.

Speaker 6 (01:49):
Double, mister Lash.

Speaker 5 (01:51):

Speaker 9 (02:32):
Hey, won't stop.

Speaker 7 (02:33):
We've got to get out of here with clash.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
There's going to be a draw up.

Speaker 10 (02:52):
Six o'clock tonight, there was an explosion Franston. A dozen
people phoned in. A throllman checked and found a body
in this place. No one ever knew there was a
lab down.

Speaker 8 (03:00):
Here, secret laboratory.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
A man killed an explosion? Why call me in, commissioner?

Speaker 10 (03:04):
Waste we in the first place? There were two men,
this one unidentified, killed in the blast, second, also unidentified,
crawled out, left bloodstains on the stairs. Well, wwyan blazes
did he run away? What were they up to down here? Well,
don't you know you're the science expert? You tell me,
They say, an expert can reconstruct an experiment from a
look at the apparatus.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Go ahead, all right, see high power condensers, yes, house terminals,
go to Now that debris might be the remains. Turn
off the lights, commissioner, But for I want to see

(03:44):
if we can see better in the dark.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Are you crazy?

Speaker 10 (03:46):
Now?

Speaker 4 (03:46):
I'm worried.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Turn them off right, Well, if your eyes open and
look at what anything?

Speaker 10 (03:53):
Holy smoke, I'm seeing things. Sure, this whole place is
flickering like a luminous dye.

Speaker 8 (03:59):
Right, let's get out of here quick. Hey, come on, Weston,
do what I say.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Now, I'll tell you what they were doing in there,
running a wildcat radium experiment.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
A radium experiment.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
There's a sort of super.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
X ray mechanism that can generate enormous quantities of radium energy.
The experiment blew up, saturated the lab with radioactivity. We've
stayed in there any longer he might have been fatally.

Speaker 10 (04:21):
Burned, and I wonder it was a secret Commissioner.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
We've got to locate that man that got away. He's
got to be found at once. Why the right don't
you understand he was caught in the explosion. He's saturated
with radioactivity. He'll poison everything and everybody he touches. He's
walking dead.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Are you kidding?

Speaker 3 (04:35):
I wish I were commissioner, but I'm not. We're in
bad trouble, and we've got to find the medicine quick.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Arger. What's happened?

Speaker 6 (04:59):
Me and jud please please.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Come into the dispensary and hurt George pretty bad. It
took me an hour and dragged myself to your office.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Anything more, said, ah ah, drink this.

Speaker 11 (05:20):
Thanks.

Speaker 12 (05:23):
Oh well, it's better what happened to me, George, I'm
a dead man unless you can help me. What you
know anything to cure radiation poisoning on depending on you, George,
I'm saturated with me sonic material.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
The sonic twenty seven grams was blasted into me.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I always had the secret, George, and I went too fast.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
But now I'm a burning man, dead Padger, What are
you backing away for?

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I don't want to be poisoned to Roger.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
You're gonna help me?

Speaker 5 (05:59):
I can't.

Speaker 11 (06:00):
There isn't a cue.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
But look, George, I read a wife and two kids,
So if you don't mind, missus lash, I think the
best thing to do now is wait right here until

his money, his energy, and now his life. Now missus Lash,

morning paper there, mister Creanston. There's your paper. I here,
miss man. What's it all about? Trying to make sense
out of it? It's really quite a simple matter. I
happen to belong to a lodge. This is our news
for this, and we write in such odd fashion merely

(26:15):
to be different.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Okay, well, here's a pain in this glen. I mean,
I don't see how anybody can understand it.

Speaker 19 (26:23):

who know how to read. Good morning, gentlemen, Commissioner. Did
you happen to see inside his flat?

Speaker 2 (26:36):
No, I just concentrating on the paper.

Speaker 23 (26:38):
