1:16Who knows what evil looks in the hearts of men? The shadow knows. The shadow, the serious character who aids the forces of law and order, is in Rihanna to Le Mans Cranston, wealthy young man about town. The shadow uses his hypnotic power to cloud men's mind so that I cannot see him. Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely margolane, is the only person who knows to whom the unseen voice of the shadow belongs. Today's story murder incorporated.

2:16The The Are you Mr. Conrad? Yes, I'm Mr. Conrad. Come on, get in please. Thank you. You must be Mr. Petscaire's friend. Sorry, I wasn't a professional friend. I came in with the Conrad. That night. I had a hard time getting out of the mouth. You know, I was beginning to think perhaps I misunderstood your instructions. Well, I would have you come out on a night like this, but I'm having a bit of a celebration tomorrow and I'd like to have the piano to. Quite a right, Mr. Petscaire's. Musical instruments are like humans to me. I never failed to respond to a call. I see. My house is about two miles up the mountain. Fred, you're going to find a rather alone for me. I hope you've come prepared to spend the night, Mr. Conrad. Is the night? Yes, you see, there are no trains until morning. Oh, yes, of course you know I hadn't thought of that. Brother Steve would have warned you couldn't have occurred to me that perhaps somebody might

3:17be expecting you home. Oh no, no, no, indeed I have no folks. There's nobody to expect me, Mr. Petscaire. Oh, but I think I'm expecting you. Well, you'll not be missed. No, no, indeed Mr. Petscaire, I shall not be missed. Hey, it's bleak and dismal night, isn't it? Yeah, bleak and dismal night. I can't stand it. Sit down, Nelson. Listen, it's rather me nuts. Take it easy. I'll scout. I'll be up here any minute. I can't stand it anymore. What's on going on? I don't be a fool. Shut up and listen. What's another? I think I hear Pat gun on the stairs. Oh, you're baddie. That's a close creek in us. I don't have to hear anything in this old house. Yeah, it is a joint or a right. Give you the creek.

4:18It's a kind of a hideout, pest-yled pick. Even a ghostly afraid of honking. What? Oh, pest-yled. Hey, Pat, we thought you. Sorry, gentlemen. Hey, Petscaire, what's up, big idea? You call us here to talk over the scheme to clean up a couple hundred times. I have, please. I don't want my guests below to know I have guests about. Why do you have a piano tuner here when we have business to talk over? Because the gentleman, the piano tuner, is the business I have to talk over. What do you mean, Dad? In just a few moments, he will drop dead. What? Got that. Well, Robert, I should say I'll permit him to kill himself. Well, he's just, well, have all the appearances of a natural demon. The actual cause will be impossible to detect. Well, how you're going to do it? Follow me, gentlemen. Oh, well, you're taking us to the... Through the storm. Hey. What is this? This gentleman is my laboratory. Over the past three years, I devoted myself to research and experimentation in this room on a chemical that could kill and yet leave no trace.

5:18You mean a secret toilet? I'll explain. After I've perfected my chemical, I next try to devise the best means for its use. See, see this match? Yeah. The head of this match has been dipped into my secret formula. Yeah. So downstairs, I've placed some cigars in a package containing the treated matches beside our guests. In a little while, he'll light a cigar. So what? Then, gentlemen, you'll have the positive proof that my livers have been crowned with success. I'll skill. When it comes to anything in a chemical line, you'll look top. But I don't get it. How does this thing pay off? Gentlemen, we all know that the world is full of maladjustive people. Men and women tied to each other by force of second sense. Go ahead. So, isn't it reasonable to suppose that one party to these unfortunate associations would welcome the means by which she or she would be rid of the other? Oh, I get it. It's an insurance shake. That sounds 12 to me. But how are you going to contact these clients as you figure that out perfectly?

6:18When people are in trouble, they go to one of the three men. A doctor, a lawyer, a man reader. Those professions will be represented by the free of us. They are going to hang out the old shingle again. The officers of Dr. Bruno Pascal are already selected. It'll be my job to impress the prospective client with the physical necessity of escape. What's my trick? As the master of the art coach, you should visualize the way out for them. The legal and material aspects will be your responsibility. Now, you will see that our clients carry the proper amount of insurance. Okay? When the mind that the client is conditioned to accept murder as a solution to a problem, then we shall provide the means to what will truly be the end, the match, the match. This has piano stopped. At last, maybe the old guy's taken time off for a smoke. We'll see. All right, all right. How long is it going to take? Why don't you light it? Why don't you do it? That's it gentlemen.

10:26Meat, the Red Bull Dragonberry Emergizer. It's one of the many new drinks out now. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so fire. Try the ball only on McDonald's. Little Mr. Conrad in the rain. Rare gentlemen, look down. The piano tuna is dead. And a new enterprise is born. She was just sitting there smoking and all of a sudden she can't gasp for breath and toppled over dead. Never said a word or another. He died real peaceful, just like the figure he was. He was such an idiot. You do nothing, man. Just give him the mattress.

11:27He duff it himself. That's all there is to it. You have understood. You worry about it. Well, well, well, am I? What are you doing? Planning flowers, building a house. I'm not interested in many tools and the influence in my life. I don't know, crack tomorrow. John, my gardener didn't come to work this morning. I have to get these rose bushes in. And let me see, was it four bushes, one foot apart, or one bush, four feet apart? I wouldn't have missed it for the world. So, Ma, what are you doing now? I'm not holding a hole to put the rose bushes in. Why must it be three feet deep? Well, that big rose bushes. If you strike oil, let me know, will you? Margot, please. How can I concentrate? Let me see. This burlap come off into the sea. I have a suggestion. If that bush doesn't grow in that hole, you can always put some concrete around the edges and use the first running pole.

12:27That's very helpful. Ow! You see, these bushes have thorns. So, Ma, I have another suggestion. Fine, fine, fine. So, over and find out what happened to John before you're ruined, the God in yourself as well. Who is it? Oh, Mr. Cranston. Good evening, Mr. Cranston. Hello, Miss Lane. Hello, Miss Gramm. A John home? Why? My yesterday, he is. But he didn't report the work this morning with our friends, he might not be well. Matters fact, he's late. He's sick in bed. Oh, I thought so. Now, go up and see him. I don't think you're better. The doctor says he wasn't to see anybody. And it must be serious. John was always so healthy. He's complained to me before, Mr. Cranston. You see, it's his heart. Yes, it's his heart's been pretty bad now. And Mrs. Gramm, John called you. Oh, okay, he? Oh, Alice, tell Mr. Cranston I'd like to see him. Oh, I'll go right up. Mr. Cranston. Come along, Margaret. Yes, I'm on. I don't worry, Mrs. Gramm, we won't stay with him long. Well, I will go up.

13:27I've got to call the doctor. The mom. Yes, Margot? Oh, Mrs. Gramm, it's here to be nervous, woman. Yes, very. But I suppose it's understandable under the circumstances. Yes, I suppose so. All right, here we are. Mrs. Arum. Well, hello, John. Oh, hello, Mr. Cranston. Mrs. Miss, my name is... Hello, John. I asked my wife to send for you there. You asked Mrs. Gramm to send for me? Yes, sir. But you're welcome. Please, Margot. Tell me something about this illness, John. It's your heart, isn't it? Yes, sir. That's as if I'm going to be like those gladiolis we've planned the last spring. Find one day and head the next. Yes, John. And me? Well, it's never had an acre of pain in my whole life before, sir. I see. Well, John, you said you sent for me because you wanted to talk to me. Yes, sir. It's about my wife. You know how little women know about money matters. Yes.

14:27No one nobody to talk about a little I'm leaving. If he, sir, has luck with howd I just took out a new insurance policy here? It's much bigger than any I've cared before, but I'm glad I did it now. She won't have to work. Well, John, how did you happen to increase your insurance? Why is? Was that doctor my wife been going to... He sure gave me some good sound advice. And... He suggested you take out more insurance? Yes. I see. Now, John, I don't want you to worry about anything. I'll see that your wife is well advised. You just take things easy. And you, I could depend on you, sir. I miss the garden. I'm sure you do, John. Those bleeding hearts you today, they should be trimmed down by the way. I'll take care of them for you, John. Might be a good idea to... ...brought it. It'll be coming soon.

15:27Certainly will. John, what's the name of the doctor who advised you to increase your insurance? I said, John, what's the name of the doctor? John. John? Muggle? Yes, Lamont. He's dead. Well, Lamont, how do I look? Does my costume make me look like the poor, harassed housewife? Quite, Muggle. But I'm afraid you're going to an awful lot of trouble for nothing. I don't think so, Lamont. We know now that if his doctor passed skills, then treating Mrs. Graham for a long time. He's the one who advised John to increase his insurance. Well, that might have been advised sincerely often. I'm sure you're right. I'm sure you're right. Well, that might have been advised sincerely often. But how do you explain Mrs. Graham's conduct? If you mean what I think you mean, Muggle, you're just about accusing that poor little woman of murdering her husband.

16:32But I'll play along with you. You're going to Dr. Pascal as a patient? Yes. I'm a nervous case. You know what I mean? Married nervous. Oh, you mean married nervous? Well, you should have a name. Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Let's say that's the... Belden, Mrs. Belden, how's that, eh? It's so good. I'd rather you save the characterizing until you see the doctor. Okay, okay. Or say, suppose you have to produce a husband. Oh, very simple in that case. You'll be my husband, or what? Well, let's get going. Mrs. Belden may have a date with destiny. Come on, fellas. Let's get to our business. How do we spend with Mrs. Grame? We're getting to the tech tomorrow. You know, we almost bungled that job. Yeah. How? Effective matches. Mrs. Grame told me that it took hours for her husband to die. We must be more careful in the future. How there's my brother. You gentlemen, wait for the next room.

17:32It wouldn't be ashamed of Wallace and me, wouldn't you? Do I have to answer, then? Oh, no. Okay, Pascal. There are cigars on the table. Help yourself. No, I can't. My own magic. Oh, why the hell? Well, how do you do? You wish to see me? Yeah, are you Dr. Pascal? Yes, I am Dr. Pascal. All right. Welcome, right in, please. Thanks. Have to down here. Yes, sir. So then, what's your trouble? Well, Dr. Wright. I haven't been able to sleep nights for a long time. I got into a wake-up at the start. Just as soon as I go to sleep. Oh, now don't be nervous, dear lady. Let me tell you. How did you happen to come to me? I saw your name on the door. Oh, you just happened in, is that it? Yes. Where do you live? On Charles Street? Oh, that's quite a distance from here. You passed a lot of doctors on the way? Well, I... I got a cousin living in this neighborhood.

18:33Oh. I come up here putting air every day. I see. And what is the name? I cousin? Yours. Oh, Mariana. Belden. Married, I suppose? Yes, sir. Would you sit under this light, please? Yes. She. Is that a blind man? No, don't be nervous. Now, Mrs. Belden, I am not only strict sense a medical man. I don't use medicine as drugs to affect yours. You see, most ailments are externally spring from a cause outside the person affected. You, for example, are an obvious nervous case. Oh, I get terrible nervous sometimes. Now, that ailment does not necessarily come from inside you. It's a result of a condition which you are constantly in contact with. It might be an unhappy marriage. It might be... Would that call the doctor? An unhappy marriage? Oh, very likely. I have had women come to me who run the verge of insanity. Oh, God. Now, of course, I'm not saying that that's so in your case. You may be very happily married. Well, no, Dr. Aine. I don't get a war in my husband, very well. Oh, now that's too bad, too bad, Mrs. Belden.

19:33Can I close my eyes for a minute? That's right. Well, I've sent it off. There. Now, to be a long time before I have to miss myself to arrive at a death conclusion in your case, Mrs. Belden. However, if your husband should be the cause of your trouble, you can easily correct it. Yeah, how? I simply ridden yourself of the cause. I've ridden myself of it. Oh, there ain't much chance of that. My husband never gave me a divorce. Well, you just leave your case in my hands. And you'll be taken care of, as it is. A commonit seen he wins the affore. You know, win the affore? That's right. We'll go into your case more thoroughly at that time. Oh, thanks, Dr.. Appreciate it very much. Oh, there's quite a lot of rights. Good day, Mrs. Belden. Goodbye, Dr.. All right, Mr. Comma out now. Oh, yes, yes, it's all right. You're having the interview? Yeah, we sure did. That prospect certainly right for plucking. Looks like an easy few thousand dollars for it. That's the trouble. It looks too easy. My amen, do you think she's a thornie? Possibly. If she is, she's not in this alone.

20:34You've got to play along. I want to know who's in on it with her. And what can we do? I'm going to sell her to you now, since I want you to size her up. If you should confirm my suspicions, then I have a bring her husband here. For what? He's probably a plant. If he is, then we can nip the thing quickly and completely. By a process of swift elimination. There it is, Lamar. Tess Kels office is in that little frame house beside the grocery store. Ah, it's a modest enough place. What do you suppose he wants to see me? Well, I probably want to condition your mind for a big insurance policy. This is a did your gardener, John Graham. And Margo, you seem to think Pascal has several confederates. Yes. Well, is that lawyer he sent me to Nelson? Then there's a mind reader, but the name of Wallace. But remember, Margo, all of these deaths have been certified as natural. How do you suppose they bring about these deaths? Well, I haven't progressed that far in their confidence yet. But it's coming, I'm sure. Margo, I do hope you're right about this, a fan.

21:36But now I, I think I'd better go in alone first and form my own impression of Dr. Pascal. But he has me to come with my husband. Well, I'll tell him I'm to meet you in his office. And you come in after I've been there about five minutes. Well, all right, if you think that's best. I'll walk on. You stay here in the car, Margo. All right, Lamar. And no forget, Margo. Give me five minutes leeway. Yes, Lamar. There's no mistake about it, I tell you, Pascal. I knew there was something familiar about a face. And I remember where I'd seen it. I went down to the newspaper office and dug up this issue of the paper. That's a picture, all right, happened? Margo, Lane, prominent society girl. That's right. The man beside her in his picture, well, please, probably the one she's bringing here as a husband. Lamar's a crantman about town. What are you going to do, Pascal? We can't take any chances, Nelson. They must be destroyed. Both of them. I'll hand up some for the store. It leads up to sightings. Okay. Good luck, Pascal. Thank you.

22:38Oh, how do you do? You wish to see me? Dr. Pascal? Yes. I'm Mr. Belden. Oh, Mr. Belden. Well, didn't your wife come with you, I expected her? I'm supposed to meet her here. Well, in that case, I guess you'd be along soon. My wife said you wanted to talk to me. Oh, it's nothing of great importance, Mr. Belden. I simply felt a man should know his wife's doctor. How's that going to help her? Hey. Mr. Belden. Your face looks familiar. I've seen you somewhere before. Yeah. I've never seen you before. I'm sure I've seen you. Well, lots of people see me. I drive a cab. Oh, a cab drive, eh? Truly a man of art, honey. Huh? Oh, yeah. I get around all right. Yes, I imagine you do. Oh, well, you have to figure out what me, Mr. Belden. I smoke cigarettes. Oh, yeah, I have one of mine. I got my own. Match, then? Thank you. You want a light?

23:38After you. Okay. Oh, that one must have been deaf. Yeah, I guess so. Well, so much as you'll get, believe me. Try the third. I'm sure you'll get results from that one. I hope so. What's the matter, Mr. Cranston? Aren't you going to smoke with me? Dispatch. My wasn't in glorious end, the glamorous man about town. Yeah, I'll come along, Mr. Cranston. I have a room already for you. Wow, there's your wife. There we are. Now you won't be alone along, Mr. Cranston. You'll be joined directly by the corpse of Mago Lane. Oh, Mrs. Belden, do come in.

24:38Thanks, Doctor. My husband here? Your husband? Oh, yes. He was supposed to come with you today. Well, make yourself comfortable. He hasn't arrived yet. Why did he? Well, in the meantime, I have something which I'm sure will interest you. A little picture of friend of mine cut out of the paper. Oh. Surprise, darn, Mrs. Belden. I was too when I saw it. I said, my, what a strange coincidence. This Mago Lane looks exactly like Mrs. Belden. Yeah. She does look like me. Now, wouldn't it really be amazing if Mr. Belden turned out to resemble this Lamont Cranston in the same picture? It could happen, you know. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Well, I've been going to you with people. Oh, no, Mrs. Belden. He should be here directly. Be patient. Sit down, please. There we are. Sigarette, Mrs. Belden? No, I don't. Oh, but you should. Good for the nerves.

25:38As your physician, I prescribe it. Here. I'll give you a light. Oh. What's the matter, Dr. Pascal? You dropped the match. Why? I didn't drop the matches. They were not for my hand. What was that? I hit a man's laugh. So you did, Dr.? Are you spoke? Who are you? I am the factor you failed to reckon with when you embarked on your murder for profit and the prize. I am the shadow. Yes, I've heard of you, but murder for profit. I don't know what you mean by that. You're responsible for the death of John Graham and many others. Why are this nonsense? I never heard of a John Graham. No, you're bluffing, Pascal. I've already found the police to pick up your two henchmen Nelson and Wallace. Your next. The police have no evidence against me. That's a lack. I shall supply. I have some of your ingenious little matches. Matches? You lie. You can. And I have proved that at least ten people died with a box of your matches. Beside them. I see. And you think you can stop me from leaving here? Try it. Very well, I'll call you. I got no.

26:38Don't let him go. Oh! Perhaps you're convinced now that it would be best to await the police quietly? Well, I suppose you're right. I've always believed that one should accept the inevitable and good grace. In fact, it was not so long. I know of no better way to emulate that attitude than to have a smoke. Cut, get on. Don't wait. Now, Mr. Shadow, your police have fined me waiting in supreme calm. Well, we're on our way home, Le Mans. I feel as though I've been living in a land of the dead. That's very near to the truth, Muggle. We were both pretty close to it. What will happen to Mrs. Graham and those other women? Who worked with Saskellen killing their husbands? The law would deal with them, dear. Le Mans. How did you ever find out about those matches? Well, I learned that many of the people who died so mysterious may were found with an empty match box beside them. But that peculiar circumstance didn't crystallize in my mind until Pascal invited me to have a smoke.

27:41Why didn't the match kill you? Because I had palm past Kale's match and lit one of my own. He thought he had me, though. Le Mans. Yeah? Wouldn't it be wonderful? Wouldn't what be wonderful? If you were only that clever planning rose, Bush. Who is the arch criminal? Who believes he can realize his based desires? By about quitting the shadow. The weed of crime bears bitter fruit. Crime does not pay the shadow knows. There's nothing like being in the stands cheering on your favorite team. Game time is your hack to unlocking amazing tickets in just a few taps.
