0Broadcast: May 15, 1938
The shadow was amateur criminologist Lamont Cranston. He had learned “the hypnotic power to cloud men’s minds so that they cannot see him”. The opening to the show, “Who knows … what evil … lllllurks … in the heart of men? … The Shadow knows! His “friend and companion, the lovely Margo Lane, is the only person who knows to whom the voice of the invisible Shadow belongs”. Together they confront the maddest assortment of lunatics, sadists, ghosts and werewolves ever heard on the air. In this episode:
Margo needs a little fresh air and sunshine after a dreadful experience at a waxworks 'chamber of horrors' yesterday. She was showing the town to her cousin, Jane, when the dead body of a gangster's moll, Edna Kelly, was discovered! The list of suspects is endless, but The Shadow will get to the bottom of this thrilling case, there's no doubt about it!
