Ladies and gentlemen, the shadow's exciting adventure will start in just a moment.
But first, I have an announcement that should be set screaming across every front page in America.
Because it's all about the safest thing on wheels.
The new Goodrich saves this Hilbertown tire with the Life Saber Trail.
Imagine.
Not only does this sensational Hilbertown give you the greatest
gift protection you have ever known and golden-ply blowout protection
that has already saved thousands of voters lives.
It gives you both of these life-saving features at no extra cost.
The new Goodrich Life Saber Trail has a truly amazing action on wet slippery roads.
It does to the rain-drenched roads what your windshield wiper does to the windshield.
Its spiral bars that never end act like a whole battery of windshield wiper.
They sweep the water right and left.
Force it out through deep drainage grooves.
Make a dry track for the rubber to grit.
Don't let us kid in danger your life.
Don't let a blowout throw your car out of control.
Start riding on the new Goodrich spelled G-O-O-D-R-I-C-H.
Goodrich saves this Hilbertown.
The sooner the safer.
The shadow Le Mans crants to the man of wealth, a student of science,
and a master of other people's minds devote his life to writing wrongs,
predicting the innocent, and punishing the guilty.
Using advanced methods that may ultimately become available to all law enforcement agencies,
cranson is known to the underworld as the shadow.
Never seen, only heard.
As haunting to superstitious minds as a ghost.
As inevitable as a guilty conscience.
The shadow's true identity is known only to his constant friend and age in Margo Lane.
Today's story, death from the beast.
Look at the water, Captain.
Carme is a mill pond.
Atelier, I don't like it.
Now, now, Mr. McLean, and that's not good talk for a first mate.
It's how, like a superstitious Dexwabber,
and the Elementsfield kindly taught us, let them be.
I know, Captain.
With five days with the sea as smooth as a skating rink,
he's a bad omen.
Well, Mr. McLean, perhaps we'll have a good score tomorrow to restore your peace of mind.
So, myself, I'll take an inch...
What's that?
It sounded like the engine roof.
There was more than a boiler, McLean.
Hello.
Hello, down there.
My name's Ancer.
Hello.
Captain.
Captain.
We've been...
Hello, down there.
We've been what?
Captain Jones, look, look there.
Look at that white pad on the water coming towards us.
Is it torpedoes?
It's not a war.
Hold fast, Captain.
It's on the hits.
I mean, ships.
We're all handed on a part.
Yes, Captain.
They're all I've put clear.
All but this one, sir.
And lower away.
All lively, then.
But it's just getting away in time.
What's that?
Those, not of the water.
Dead answer.
I hate to submarine.
Submarine.
That's what that is.
Not blackheads.
A man coming out of the submarine.
That's him.
He's got a machine gun.
It's quite the fetish.
That's...
That's what the love of heaven...
XB, XB.
Another Mexican on a high sea.
He's his first man, John.
Hold it.
Hackby's team ship agency.
I wish to cancel my reservation on the brink of Marie.
But madam, didn't you?
I'm not sailing.
I tell you.
Why, it is yours, I.
But Mr. Williams, you can ship your goods with us.
Our boats are safe.
No boat is safe.
But you'd be in sure.
There's at four times the usual rate.
Oh no, you can cancel my shipment.
Gentlemen of the Maritime Commission,
we are confronted with a vital problem.
In the past three months, there have been exactly 18 ships
mysteriously sunk on a high sea.
Chips belonging to the United States,
Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan,
in fact every major power.
This series of unexplainable marine disasters
has created a panic throughout the non-egal world.
Passenger reservations are being cancelled.
Freight shipments are being withdrawn.
Crews are deserting their ships.
Gentlemen, something has got to be done.
Waiter, some more coffee, Margo.
Yes, please, the money.
Two more coffees, waiter.
That's it.
Now, what were you saying, the money?
That's this.
Three months ago, Margo, the first ship disappeared.
A few days later, a second ship was sunk this time.
A bullet-ridden body of the crew were found dead,
a float in their life for the past years.
And each succeeding disaster has been increasingly horrible.
And now all shipping is at a stand.
The proof of truth it is could not have been brought
about by international jealousies
because each of the ship's sunk
has been owned by a company in a different country.
And who can be responded?
That's true.
But my deduction is,
it's the work of a pirate.
A pirate?
But the man, a pirate in the 20th century?
Yes, Margo.
And one more callous, more bloodthirsty
than any buccaneer who ever sailed a Spanish mainland.
Then why isn't he tracked down?
Because not a single person has ever survived these sinkings.
Therefore, the pirate has never been seen.
Must he seen something?
Not if he has a submarine.
A submarine?
Yes, Margo.
But how could an individual be in possession
of a submarine without a thing known?
If a man were rich and clever enough,
he could have a submarine built and complete secrecy.
Must he some way of finding him out?
There is.
Before such a craft could be constructed,
it has to be designed.
There are very few expert designers
of submarines in the world.
In the brain of one of the mispirate craft
must have been conceived.
In the mud of pirates submarines,
unfancy.
Even more fantastic, Margo, is the motive of the pirate.
He's sprayed on every kind of ship
from the super limo north to the common tramp.
He can't be after booted, because examination
of the sunken hulls has revealed that nothing has been touched.
Why, the mud bowed?
To find an answer to that question
as a task for the shadow.
But how would you proceed?
I've already made a few secret inquiries
at the Navy Department in Washington.
They told me one chap who might be
was investigating him, Mr. Joseph Hart,
a brilliant designer of naval crafts,
who was dishonorably discharged from his position.
Where can he be found?
I have learned that he is living all alone
in a small house out on Oak Road.
A shadow is going to appear
calling Mr. Joseph Hart tonight.
Well, you passed me that bottle, please, Benton.
Good way.
They were.
Joseph, I'm sorry to see you indulging in liquor.
It frequently loosens the tongue.
Sometimes makes a man say things that he later regrets.
What do you mean?
That's it.
We share a secret, Joseph.
A secret which would be most unwise
for either of us to divulge.
I haven't said anything.
I haven't talked yet.
My fear is for what you might say.
You'll never be visiting you, Joseph.
You must pull yourself together.
How can I pull myself together one night after night?
I'm taught you by the vision of a procession.
A hopeless ship sinking down, down to the market depths,
all about the fate of the floating corpses.
To mend about it, I was in full.
I designed and built that suburb
as ever for what you were well paid.
There's where money's soaked in blood.
I'm responsible of a lot of havoc
and the terror that you're insane.
I don't pay that to you idiot.
I have no madman to get here.
Why did you come here and I'd been there?
Because, Joseph, I've been wondering
of why I permit you to live.
You're becoming increasingly dangerous to my interest.
No, no.
Unless you can prove to me that I'll seek for the safe
and that you will aid me in the future.
No, I'll never do that.
In that case, I feel that you ought to be my guest
on the next cruise of the submarine.
I'd never come back.
Is that what you mean?
Quite true.
But before, shall I say, before you leave us in mid-ocean,
you'll have an opportunity to see the splendor of efficiency
that puts your creations of submarine operating.
No.
I'd rather you kill me right now and have it over.
And the preview of witnessing the thrilling spectacle
of my accurate marksmanship to see them leave
from the boats and terror like rats?
No, no, Joseph, you can't missing that.
No, I do anything rather than be forced to see that.
I thought you would.
Maintain that attitude, Joseph, or it may be necessary
for me to request that you pack your yachting clothes,
a contingency which we should both deeply regret.
Good night, Joseph.
What am I going to do?
What am I going to do?
I don't tell you what you can do, Joseph Hart.
Who's that?
There's a way to save you from the evil domination
of Betty Vinton.
Who are you?
I am the voice of one who has come to help you.
I am the instrument of your righteous vengeance.
I am the shadow.
The shadow?
With my assistance, you can compensate
for some of the wrong that you've done.
But how?
Tell me the secret that you share with Vinton.
Oh, no, no.
I can't.
I'm afraid.
A lot of fear, if you remain silent.
The shadow already knows enough to hang you, Joseph Hart.
You haven't got anything on me.
I heard every word that passed between you
and Vinton in this room.
No.
Tell me what I want to know and save yourself.
Perhaps that's Vinton so aptly put it.
You prefer to pack your yachting clothes.
Nothing can save me.
What I've done is done.
I can never escape my country.
Then your conscience must tell you
that if you're duty to all that you can do
to stop Vinton's outrageous.
Yes, yes, yes, you're right.
Now tell me the secret.
Very well.
Until a year ago, I knew Vinton only
by his reputation as a millionaire sportsman.
He was famous as a deep-sea fisherman in a big game hunter.
He came to me first seeking a design for a racing boat.
I built it for him and we became friends.
And because of that friendship,
you consented to build a submarine?
Yes.
We went out for the purpose that he later used it.
He told me that he wanted for a new thriller, believe me.
Go on.
The submarine was built in Vinton's private shipyard,
how to carry his point.
Knowledge of its construction was carefully
guided from the world.
He was under the data boat was launched
but he told me his true intention.
What were those intentions?
Vinton's lunatic, cold, emergency, mad.
He'd always been a killer.
But he'd tired of shooting lines and gaffing malons.
Now his warp brain had turned to what he regarded
as a new sport.
Thinking of ships and the ruthless slaying
of the senseless men, now I understand.
Why does he keep the submarine?
I don't know.
Are you telling the truth, Joseph Hart?
I'm telling you everything.
Why should I lie now?
If I knew where that boat was, I'd blow the pieces.
My stuff with it.
My stuff with it, with it.
My stuff, that's the idea.
That's how I could fool Barry Vinton.
Why should I wait to die on his hands?
No, no.
What are you doing?
I'll fool Barry Vinton.
Here, put down the gun.
No more torture sleepless nights.
I see no more screaming headlines.
Another boat's talking and now there is another.
Don't show the part, don't.
Barry Vinton will never take me on that, boys.
I'll fool him, I say, fool him.
Poor Joseph Hart.
You've served it both.
Now we shall see who am you have served, Barry Vinton,
or the shadow.
Ladies and gentlemen, in a moment,
the shadow will be back on the air with surprises,
suspense, and a thrilling, unexpected climate.
But meanwhile, here's something mighty important to bear
in mind when you drive a car.
Just remember that rainy days make for grass,
grow greener.
They may bring out the best in flowers,
but they bring out the worst in road.
Yes, beware.
A road that's planted safe when dry may become a dangerous
skit trap and wet, sending your car,
skidding, spinning, swirving off the road.
Motorists, why take this chance?
When you can now get a sensational new kind of tire
that will stop you quicker, safer than you've ever stopped
before, the new Goodrich, safety silver town
with the life-saver tread.
Impartial test conducted by the country's largest
independent testing laboratory against the regular
and premium-priced tires of America's six largest
manufacturers proved that no tire tested regardless of price
came up to the new silver town in non-skid action.
Furthermore, these unbiased tests
showed that the new Goodrich silver town
with life-saver tread gave more non-skid mileage
than any of the other tires tested in its own price range.
Imagine the new Goodrich silver town
averaged 19.1% more miles before the tires wore smooth,
which is the same as saying, you'll get every six-mile free.
Yes, many tires cost more than the new Goodrich silver town,
but no tire at any price can give you the unequaled
skid protection of the life-saver tread,
the exclusive blowout protection of a gold implied.
Keep dangerous strangers.
Put a set of these life-saving, long mileage tires
on your car without delay.
So, Margot, heart-finished telling you the story
and before I could stop him, it shot himself in the head.
Poor man.
Perhaps it was better that way.
Some months.
Now, how will you find the submarine?
Joseph Hart told me that it was built at Vincent Shipyard
at Carrey's point.
That's the logical place to start my search.
Is that where you're going now?
Yes.
Do be careful, Lamont.
Remember, that man's a Louis, take your stop.
Nothing.
The shadow has nothing to fear from Vincent.
I hope you're right.
Now, as far as we can safely drive without being seen.
This isn't deathless, but don't like it.
Never bite it.
Yes, the shipyard.
It has to be surrounded by a high wall.
It looks like a prison.
Perhaps it is a prison.
For those of its gates.
Margot, before we go any further, I'll give you your instruction.
Yes, a lot.
I've already been in touch with the United States Coast Guard.
I've been promised you my full cooperation.
Once I found the submarine and no Vinton's plans,
I shall communicate with you by our private wireless.
And then?
Then you will relay my message directed
to the Coast Guard headquarters in Washington.
I understand.
Good luck to the shadow.
The shadow, thanks you.
Thank you.
All right, let it down easy now.
OK, Phil.
Well, that's the last of the torpedoes, Charlie.
The submarine must be going on a long cruise this time.
They can funny as supplies and ammunition.
Yeah.
Hey, what's that?
It's a wind blowing the door shut.
What's the matter with you?
Listen, Charlie, when are we going to get out of this joint?
You know, we've been cooped up inside this shipyard
for three months.
It's given me the creep.
Oh, now take it easy.
You've got to be back in prison.
It was nothing scary about prison.
And you know, when your time was up, you got out.
Well, maybe we ain't never going to get out of here.
What do you mean?
I mean, this Vinton guy is a bug.
You ain't even let us read no newspaper
since we come here.
The stuff about hunting whales with torpedoes,
that sounds screwy too.
Listen, if he don't let us out of here, it's still nice.
There he comes now.
Are all the torpedoes aboard?
Yes, so we just sent down the last load.
Well, I'll take care of these empty crates.
We'll make sure they're there.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Vinton?
Yes.
We was wondering, we, yeah, me and Charlie here,
was just talking about the, well, how
we've been in the shipyard here a long time now.
And a little, what Phil is trying to say, Mr. Vinton, is,
well, could we have a couple of days off on the outside?
I'm afraid that would be impossible.
Oh, but Mr. Vinton, it's been three months.
I've got a wife and kid.
You're being well paid, aren't you?
Oh, sure.
You're giving us plenty of dough, all right?
We ain't getting no chance to spend it.
You will remain here as long as your service is out
required.
What if we don't want to stay here that long?
What if we up and leave?
Yeah.
I wouldn't advise you to attempt that.
You remember what happened to your associate,
Mr. Hadley, when he tried to, would you say, up and leave?
He fell from the wall.
You mean that wasn't the likes of it?
No.
He was shot down.
Oh, so do you still want to quit?
I thought so.
Good night, gentlemen.
Looks like we're in here for a long, long time.
Yeah.
Maybe you are.
And I'm going to figure a way to get out of here, see?
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Perhaps I can be a pharmacist to you.
Who said that?
I heard it, too.
I said, perhaps I can help you if you wish to get out of here.
Who's that talking?
Where are you?
Don't bother to look for me.
You can't see me.
Why is this?
One of it in the sags is something?
No, I am not speaking for Vincent.
I speak for myself.
Who are you?
Men call me the shadow.
The shadow?
How'd you get in here?
The shadow is everywhere.
Oh, what do you want?
I wish to bargain with you.
Oh, what kind of a bargain?
By this time you must be aware that you are
both at the mercy of a madman.
He's right, Charlie.
You will never leave this place alive
unless very Vincent had brought to justice.
Hey, little.
What can we do about it?
We'll promise you your freedom if you will just answer my question.
Wait a minute.
What do you think, Charlie?
Well, we're taking a chance.
This may be a trick.
It is no trick.
You have the shadow's word.
Well, what do you want to know?
Where is Vincent submarine?
Like below our feet in the secret underground birth.
When does it fail again?
Tonight.
At midnight.
What is it, destination?
Well, I heard that the witness say something
to the maid about Kate France.
Good.
Failing at midnight, Kate France is the shadow
which is in good hunting.
Calling Margolaine.
Calling Margolaine.
Proceed is instructed.
Communicate the following information
to Coast Guard headquarters.
Pirate submarine sails at midnight for waters of Kate Francis.
Impressed on Coast Guard, the importance of following directions.
Invisitly, it wished to bait the madman
who was terrorizing the Atlantic.
What is that position, Mr. Brush?
You have 100 miles to east of Kate Francis, sir.
Are we in the regular shipping lane?
Yes, Mr. Brush.
But we have visibility for clear observation.
Some is just recent, sir.
Good.
I'll take him to the Periscope now.
Very well, sir.
A fine day for hunting, Mr. Brush.
Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees.
But I don't really need it.
Infliction is killing me.
What do cares?
Big retailers are making record profits.
That's why we support the German Marshall Credit Card Bill.
See, things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll.
This bill would cut the vital resources they need.
While increasing megastore profits, they deserve it.
Don't they?
Tell Congress, stop the German Marshall Money Grab for corporate megastores.
Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

Hello, what's this?
Are you excited?
Something, sir?
Take a look.
See what you make of it.
Very smoke.
It looks like a steamer.
I'm going to.
Single the engine room.
Full speed ahead.
Yes, sir.
I can see a funnel.
Full speed ahead.
That's the life.
There's nothing like it.
The fighting of fresh quarry of this kind of school.
The excitement of a chase that spying tingling through when the torpedo finds its mark.
And then the climax.
On thick shooting them down with the machine gun like scurrying rats.
Mr. Brown stand by the torpedo tube.
We're coming up fast.
Yes, sir.
Stand by the torpedo tube.
My eyes, sir.
We'll cut across our bow and swing this target.
That should give us a perfect shot.
Very good shot.
Be prepared.
We're going to.
We'll cut across our bow and swing this target.
That should give us a perfect shot.
Very good, sir.
Be prepared to rise to the surface quickly.
We'll make a direct hit on the top.
First torpedo.
Very good, sir.
Stand by the falls and elevate off my eyes, sir.
We're almost within range.
Cut to half speed.
Half speed ahead.
The torpedo tubes number one and two are loaded, sir.
The torpedo tubes number one and two are loaded, sir.
Look.
Look, Brown.
It's a fine big liner.
Could be, sir.
I guess it's the Orpheus.
The Orpheus.
I remember now reading of our sailing.
She has a full passenger list.
Separately passengers on a board.
A full passenger would say.
That sounds most promising.
Ha, ha.
Number one, two.
Ready to fire.
Number one, two.
Ready to fire.
Oh, I'll bring her over to one of the stops.
A little more.
Oh, man.
Number one.
Fire.
Number one.
Fire.
Yes, the heading is right for a side.
No deflection.
Should be a perfect shot.
Closer.
Closer.
It's going to hit.
Now.
Fire.
Hail to explode.
Well, then, Judd.
Number two, two.
Ready to fire.
Number two, two.
Ready to fire.
Number two.
Fire.
Number two.
Fire.
We won't fail this time.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Yes, you will, Mr. Vincent.
You've just fired another, Judd.
Who dared say that?
I did.
Who are you?
Come out here.
I can see you.
You will never see me.
I am the shadow.
The shadow, eh?
I've heard of you.
It torpedo hit.
But it failed to explode again.
Reload the torpedo, Judd.
That would be a waste of time, Vincent.
I've seen to it that all of the torpedoes are dead.
You'll regret this, Mr. Shadow.
This is the one time that you've matched
with a mind and cleverer than your own.
Blow out the ballast tank for a quick rise to the surface.
I'll show you.
I'll sink that boat with Medecon.
Vincent, you're a madman.
Madman, am I?
Ha, ha, ha.
Very well, I'll show you the full extent of my madness.
Dicks are worth, sir.
Open the conning tower hatch.
Dicks crew stand by, demand the gun.
Dicks crew stand by, demand the gun.
All right, you coming up on deck, Shadow? What does the kill?
I am already on deck, Vincent.
Devil flayed you.
How did you get up here?
Show yourself.
That is unnecessary, but never fear.
I'll stay near you.
The guns are jammed, sir.
Jammed?
Why let him fight?
I neglected to tell you, Vincent,
but I rendered your guns useless.
Oh, so you think that you love with me, Shadow?
But you're wrong.
Single the engine room full speed ahead.
I am, sir.
Steered directly for that vessel's kind.
What are you doing now, Vincent?
The prow of this submarine is a clip of the ramming device.
With it, we can sink any vessel of float without injury to us.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
You didn't foresee that. Did you, Shadow?
In a few moments, we will rip open the hull of that liner
and send it to the bottom as effectively as with any torpedoes.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
So you don't believe me?
Oh, yes, I believe you.
But that liner is completely deserted with set a drift there by the coast guard.
It is a vegetable floating mine with enough explosive support
to blow you to kingdom come.
You're lying.
You know soon enough you haven't far to go.
Reverse engines.
Reverse engines.
You will restoppin' time.
Figure it in closer.
No.
No, no, we're stopping.
We're stopping.
We're not going to hit.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
You see, Shadow, I've outwitted you after all.
No, Vinton.
You've maneuvered your submarine alongside the ship just as I planned.
All right up there, here's your men.
What the hell, what the hell is all of you?
Who stole the trap?
It's a trap.
Yes, a trap, very Vinton.
And this ends your reign of piracy and ruthless murder.
Very smart, aren't you, Shadow?
But not as smart as you think you are.
He's firing inside the submarine.
He's holding the hide.
Yeah.
Yeah, they all think they're so clever.
But no one can outsmart that reason, didn't they?
I'll go to the engine room.
I'm an over-the-dire.
They'll never get me.
I must have a low here.
Now.
Now, check them out.
Ben's right.
Ben's right.
Ha, ha, ha.
I'd love to hear what the Shadow was saying up there now.
He's probably saying it's no use trying to maneuver that dive very Vinton.
You?
You, how did you get here, Shadow?
Why?
I merely followed you.
Show yourself.
Show yourself, Shadow, and I'll shoot you down on your tracks.
Here I am over here in this corner.
Come ahead and shoot Mr. Vinton.
Well, Shadow, well.
You just missed me.
Why you?
Hurry up!
I won't hear you.
Martin!
It's a plurable, Mr. Vinton.
Who you?
That does not matter.
Why don't you tell them who you are.
You fool or a sicker?
I seek no glory.
My reward is that ships and men can once more safely sail the seas.
The shadows work as done.
You have been listening to a dramatized version of one of the many copyrighted stories
which appear in the Shadow magazine.
The weed of crime bears bitter fruit.
Crime does not pay.
The shadow knows.
All the characters and all the persons named are fictitious.
Any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees.
But I don't really need it.
Infliction is killing me.
But who cares?
Big retailers are making record profits.
That's why we support the German Marshall Credit Card Bill.
See?
Things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll.
This bill would cut the vital resources they need.
While increasing Megastore profits.
They deserve it.
Don't they?
Tell Congress, stop the German Marshall Money Graph for corporate megastores.
