Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
The shadow knows you.
The shadow, mysterious character who aids the forces of law and order, is in reality
Le Mans Cranston, wealthy young man about town.
The shadow uses his hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so that they cannot see him.
Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Margo Lane, is the only person who knows
to whom the unseen voice of the shadow belongs.
Today's story murder in the death house.
It is seven o'clock in the evening.
Margo is in the office of Wilson and Tuffle, head of a new reform party called the Citizens Committee.
Miss Lane, I'm going to make you my aide in the woman's division of the Citizens Committee.
You've shown such zeal in recruiting people to our court.
Well, the cause of a cleaner state is one that isn't hard to work for, Mr. Tuffle.
You're right, Miss Lane.
As you probably know, I'm enamored to politics myself.
But when I knew, when I understood what graft and corruption there was in our state, I
decided it was time for me to take an act of interest.
Well, if we get Warden Cooper in the government's chair, things in this state will change for
the better.
I hope so.
But the machine that controls things in this state isn't going to give up without a fight.
And I can promise you it won't be a fair one.
You mean that they'll try to discredit Warden Cooper in the voter's eyes?
Certainly.
There's a ring of racketeers and mobsters in this state headed by one man.
The underworld refers to him as the brain.
That's all anybody seems to know about it.
Well, I know one person who'd like to meet him.
And who is that, Miss Lane?
My friend of mine.
Oh, by the way, what time is it?
7.20.
7.20?
Good heavens, and I'm supposed to meet the man at 6.45.
I've got to go, Mr. Tuffle.
But I haven't told you what you do, Deezard.
I'll come and see you tomorrow.
Lamargo will be furious.
Ha, ha, ha.
All right, Miss Lane.
I'll expect you at the People's Rally tonight, though.
Margo, would you mind telling me where I'm going in such a hurry?
To a meeting of the Citizens Committee, Lamar, and we're late now.
Oh.
Now, Margo, just what is this Citizens Committee?
What is it?
Why is the most potent organization in this town?
We're fighting crime and corruption, crooked politics and bread.
Oh, easy, Margo, eat me.
I have to get you a derby in a soapbox.
But Lamar, with Warden Cooper as our candidate for governor and Wilson Tuttle behind us,
we ought to sweep the state.
Who?
You take another corner like that, and the state will be sweeping us out of a ditch.
Say, who is this fellow Tuttle?
A retired lawyer, yet scared of money.
And with his support behind us.
Here we go, sweeping the state again.
Too bad you won't be allowed to enjoy it.
Oh.
Say, Margo, what is this Citizens Committee stand for?
Law and order.
And we're going to...
Law and order, eh?
Now listen, Margo.
I know Warden Cooper, and if he's elected, the first thing I'm going to have him clean up
is reckless driving, and I do mean you.
But Lamar, I've simply got to hear the speeches.
Has it ever occurred to you that you have a radio in this car of yours?
A radio. Oh, please, Lamar, act.
Oh, yes, of course I have.
And the speeches are being broadcast.
Oh, dear, so they are. Why didn't I think of it?
That Margo might come under the heading of womanly intuition.
Take a second to warm up.
The cause that every citizen of our great country should be proud to fight for.
The cause of law and order.
We'll leave wonderful.
The powerful speaker, but I don't...
Lamar, I want to hear the speech.
We have the governorship of our state.
A man who, if elected, would make this state the clearest in the country.
Warden Richard Cooper.
Unfortunately, Warden Cooper cannot be with us tonight in person.
He has his duties to perform at the state penitentiary, but he will speak to us from there by special wire.
Ladies and gentlemen of the Citizens Committee and of our state,
I give you Warden Richard Cooper, our next governor.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Tuttle spoke of the duties that keep me here at the penitentiary tonight.
I believe you all know what those duties are.
Tonight, killer Goren is to pay his debt to society, and a large debt that is.
At this very moment, Goren sits in a death house of this prison.
He posted that he couldn't be captured and convicted.
When he was captured and convicted, he posted that we couldn't execute him,
that the leader of his ring of racketeers and mobsters would rescue him.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, tonight is the night when killer Goren will pay for his crimes against society.
I stand on my record.
Killer Goren will die in the chair tonight.
The warden said I'm going to cook in the chair tonight, eh?
That's a good laugh.
You ain't got very long, Goren.
I ain't got long.
I got my whole life in front of me.
And I'm going to fry me tonight.
I got connections.
I've got Goren.
I don't have to fight down for you.
Screw up for anybody else.
You can tell that to your Warden.
Goren, I've never seen a man as hard as you.
Yes, for a radio to hear the warden speak, when you knew he was going to talk about you going to the chair.
I'd just like to hear my name mentioned, coast to coast.
Goren, if you weren't going to...
Well, you get yours.
Goren, you ought to act like that tonight.
What about tonight?
Well, look, we're all in this place together.
If you're going tonight, smoke you over there, it goes next week, and then I'd follow.
So what?
Well, I try not to think about it.
But you don't give me a chance to forget.
I don't have to worry.
I'm getting out.
But if it'll make you feel any better, I'll quit talking.
Hey, Smoky, give us a song.
No, I don't get him to sing it again.
It's too sad.
Yeah, hey, me, Smoky.
Give us a song.
What y'all want me to sing, killer?
Something good and unhappy.
We've got to keep jumping it's here, love.
Nobody knows the trouble I see.
Shut up, Smoky.
Shut up.
They met us Smoky, yet they're having me.
I can't stop this song.
It's not me on my head.
I like it.
They met us Smoky.
Come on, come on.
They met us.
They met us.
Stop this, writers.
What's the meaning of all this?
Speak up.
It's Smoky singing, warden.
It's got me nuts.
All right.
All right, quiet, you man.
Gone, I've come to tell you that the time has come.
So what?
A chaplain with me.
Wouldn't you like to say something to him?
No.
Please, my son.
Let me speak with you for a few minutes.
I'm sure you'll feel much better.
You're all I think like I was really going to fry tonight.
Well, I ain't.
You understand, warden?
I ain't going to fry in a chair.
And you ain't going to be governor.
Because you're going to look pretty silly
when people find out you can't run this prison right?
What are you talking about?
A brain don't like you, warden.
And you like even less if you get to the governor.
So he's going to stop you.
A brain, my boss.
Only one guy in this state knows who he really is.
And that's me.
And you're boss, the brain, as you call him.
He's out to get me.
Out to get you.
He's got you now.
We'll see about that.
God, I'm not going to sell.
He has him.
God, since you refuse the comfort
that the Japanese offered you.
He's son for the last time.
That Japanese have your breath hanging on a tie.
All right, let's start.
God's on either side.
Chapin, you and I walk by.
Come on, Gorn.
This is your last mile.
That's what you think.
I'll be father, who often heaven.
I'll have a divine name.
Yeah, this feels good.
I need an exercise.
My wife, boy.
He's gone for much killer.
Tell me it's over quick.
I'll be back in a few minutes, fellas.
Open the door, God.
Just a minute, Warden.
Yes?
Now that you got me where you want me.
Can I have a last request?
Anything within reason, Gorn?
Well, when they struck me in the chair
and they put the clamp on my head,
that's what they do in it.
Yes, Gorn.
And then when they turned on the juice,
would you hold my hand?
It's the water, ready, Gorn?
Yeah, you said to wait for a signal to throw the switch.
Good.
I'm glad we're getting this over with the heart of night.
I want to get home.
My wife isn't feeling so well.
Yeah.
Is that so?
Yeah, she's been here now for...
Say, what's the matter with you?
Hi.
I don't know oh I get it you're new here that was not you yeah well it's
sort of tough to watch him get it the first couple of times yeah I guess you're
right are you better stay in here with me the water that's why you didn't come
back into this chamber I'll tell him that you were helping me thanks it won't be
so bad in here you don't have to watch anything when I get the signal I just
throw this big switch here and it's all over in a few minutes that's it huh
yep that's it my head is not let go you'll be killed one one one the
executioner is out of the main switch no don't touch that the main switch
all right he's dead the executioner is dead I clearly couldn't kill me
I don't know what to make of it commissioner Western here I thought we had the
strongest man in the state as our candidate for governor and to have this
happened it wasn't the warden's fault mr. Tuttle the electric chair was
rewired to kill a man who touched the switch but Warren is going to be executed
tonight for sure a warden has found a new executioner and there'll be no
slip off this time I hope not I hope that Warren Cooper's
reputation for efficiency hasn't suffered too much or I'm right to make
you remember me how did you get past the man for death well that's a fine way
to greet all right that man McGuire plan I'll have him
close hello I didn't know you were here please miss Lane I came to speak with
commissioner Western about the happenings of the prisoners you two know
each other yes miss Lane is one of my assistants on the committee oh mr. Tuttle
this isn't mr. Cranston mr. Cranston you're an awful loosens why do you
bother me all the time coming in here like commissioner I'm writing a book what
did I tell you mr. Tuttle this man haunts me never leaves me alone what kind of a book

planted all over this place I would have got to get in with him you are you mean

stick around and give them another chance to put me in the chair do you find this
last night because the brain ordered it it was to make the warden look bad so
he wouldn't have a chance of being governor say that's pretty smart yeah yeah we
thought though but you ain't very smart clandestine what did you call me

and the people of the state and the man is merely paying for his crimes please
warden I'd rather not talk about that part of it all right well I've had
electrical experts in from town they've been going over everything all day but
just to make sure you'd better go over the equipment again yes sir and that's
