Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it.
Infliction is killing me. What do you care? 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.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
The shadow knows.
Your local blue-cold dealer presents the shadow.
These half-hour dramatizations are designed to forcibly demonstrate to old and young alike.
That crime does not pay.
The shadow's adventure begins in just a moment.
But first, do you know exactly what the blue-coloring on blue-cold means?
Well, that's the trademark of the Glen Aldon coal company.
The world's largest hard-cold producer.
And it's placed on their products, blue-cold, to guarantee that you're getting a superior quality
anthracite.
So insist on blue-cold when you order anthracite for the coming winter.
Your entire family will appreciate blue-cold's greater heating comfort.
You'll appreciate blue-cold's greater heating economy.
Call your dealer for your supply of blue-cold tomorrow.
The shadow, mysterious character who wades those in distress,
and helps the forces of law and order is in reality,
the month Cranston, wealthy young man about town.
Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Margo Lane,
is the only person who knows who only unseen voice belongs.
The only one who knows the true identity of that master of other people's minds,
the shadow.
Today's story, shyster, pay off.
Mr. Weston, my paper wants to know what you're doing about this wave and hold up.
I hear you're designing, Commissioner.
What about the mayor's statement, right?
Yes, come on, let's have your story.
Wait a minute, come on.
Wait a minute, boys.
I'll give you a statement.
OK, Commissioner, thanks.
Sure we're having a crime wave.
But the police department is as good as you'll find in any city.
We make arrests.
The trouble is that district attorney's office can't get conviction.
But it isn't the DA's fault that the work of his office has
hampered by a political fixer and a shyster lawyer.
Well, thank you.
I'll make sure you are there.
How about claiming this, Mr. Weston?
Who's the political fixer?
Come on, come on.
Come on, give us some more.
Hold it, boys.
Hold it.
What is this, Sergeant?
I have to call on your office, Commissioner Weston.
Sorry, boys.
That's all.
See you later, boy.
Hold it, boy.
Who is it, the mayor?
No, it's him again.
Who are you talking about?
Who's him?
The shadow.
The shadow.
If I have well enough troubles.
I'll talk to him.
I'll call you if I need you.
Yes, sir.
All right, shadow.
What is it this time?
Good afternoon, Commissioner Weston.
Did you enjoy your conference with the gentleman of the press?
You know everything, don't you?
You flatter me, Commissioner.
All right, let's have it.
Commissioner, do my ears deceive me?
Or did I really detect a note of, shall we say?
Welcome, in your voice.
Listen, shadow.
I'll admit you have helped the police deployment at times.
And I'm willing to accept tips or help from you
just as I would from any other citizen.
I think it you are a citizen and are interested in law enforcement.
Yes, Commissioner Weston.
I am a citizen.
And I am interested in law enforcement.
I wish there were more like that.
But you didn't call me to exchange compliments.
What do you want?
I call Commissioner to make a deal.
A deal?
For yourself, shadow?
No.
Nearly a deal whereby you will be ready to round up a criminal syndicate.
Headed by Tiger, the notorious heist and lawyer.
Grogon, the political fixer, and Red Doyle, the gangster.
You're crazy, shadow.
We know they're all crooks, but we can't prove it.
Suppose I could produce proof.
I wouldn't arrest a combination like that without an iron-clad case.
I wouldn't last 24 hours if the rap didn't stick.
Then have my job.
You'll have your iron-clad case, Commissioner Weston.
Wait until you hear from me.
Your honor, may it be the thought.
I submit that the indictment against my client Harry Dale is improperly drawn,
and I therefore ask that the state's case be dismissed again.
I object, Your Honor.
The indictment against Harry Dale is properly drawn under section 73 of the Peele cold.
The Peele cold?
The Peele cold?
The Peele cold?
Just a moment, gentlemen.
The jury will please retire.
We're arguing your arguments on the point of war,
which is not put in the province of their deliberation.
They're wellness to target the prosecutor.
Step to the bar.
I will hear your arguments, says, to the validity of this indictment.
I will.
The Lord Cranston, would you mind telling me why we've been following this lawyer,
Rex Tigot, from court to court, watching him please case after case?
Just to give my very lovely assistant, Margo Lane,
a cook's tour of the more unpleasant side of the legal profession.
How do you like Tigot, Margo?
He reminds me of a snake.
What's he doing now, Le Mans?
Tigot is pulling another legal technicality,
snatching another criminal from the hands of the law.
How did he get away with it?
The law, Margo, is flexible,
but his flexibility can be used by shyster lawyers like Tigot to provide loopholes.
Order!
Silence in the court!
Watch what happens.
Order!
Silence in the court.
With the prosecutor, I regret I must agree with the arguments of
the consul for the defense, Mr. Tigot.
I protest your eye, I protest!
Order the testimony given by the defense,
and be called of this technical error in the indictment.
I must dismiss the case against Harry Dale and discharge the jury.
Le Mans, Tigot just wanted about apartment dealing.
How much longer are we going to follow him around in the car?
I've got to follow Tigot, watch every movie makes, Margo.
I promise commissioner Western and air tight case.
I'm getting proof of a vicious racket.
A racket that forces innocent people into a life of crime.
Where are you going, Le Mans?
I'm going to follow Tigot into that apartment.
As the shadow.
I have an idea, Tigot is about to collect his fee
for defending a recent client.
Stay here, Margo.
Wait till I return.
Mrs. Tigot, why are you coming to my apartment?
My brother's not here.
My brother's not here, I tell you.
I'm giving you every cent I have, every cent I can raise for defending him.
For saving your brother from the electric chair, Rousseau.
But my brother was innocent.
Yes, but the evidence was all against him.
Your brother is alive, free.
Only because of my knowledge of the law
and your prejudiced testimony.
Why you made me testify for me?
You told me it was the only way to save my brother.
Yes, yes, I did.
Do you want him to try again on the evidence?
I can arrange it.
I can have your rest of the perpetrator.
Enter prison.
Oh, no, no, please let me alone.
Your brother needs money.
You need money.
I can show you both how to make a lot of it.
Quite easily.
We won't do anything crazy.
My plans are quite simple.
You look like a girl accustomed to buying expensive jewels.
You have only to go into jewelry,
shop them after see certain gems.
When they're shown here, it won't be your fault
if your brother and others have men and take them away.
And suppose we refuse?
You will go to prison for perjury
and the electric chair will be waiting for your brother.
What a terrible night to be driving, Mom.
Sorry, Marko.
Wherever the target goes, we go.
I just kept target.
And I'm glad he was able to get Dr. Lambert to go.
I never did believe Dr. Lambert was responsible for that woman's death.
Yes, Marko.
I'm glad Lambert is out too.
But I'm sorry for anyone's target helps.
Neymar, do you think the target needs the forcing
and the recline's in the detour?
Yes, Marko.
The way he's done to Ruth Dale and her brother and many others.
Oh, but of course.
People who are working in the crime must be helped.
Why don't you talk to Mr. Weston?
I'm not ready, Marko.
It takes a lot of fine threads to make a weather evidence
to catch a slippery eel like a tiger.
Besides, the rathers.
I'm out to get political fixer Grogon,
red-doyle the gangster.
They're part of tiger's crime syndicate.
Mark, it's raining so hard I can't see.
Where are we?
Outside the home of Dr. John Lambert.
They have lindy prison.
And look, they're on the driveway.
Tiger's car.
But the next move, Marko.
Marko, you drive down the road.
I know, Lambert, and we.
I'm sorry, Marko.
I know it's cold and wet, but I won't be long.
I have a notion, Marko, that we'll drive away from here
with an iron-thad case for Commissioner Weston.
Move along, Lambert.
I'll wait.
Blackshell.
MIRROR
Oh, why did you get me out, tiger?
What good am I to myself and to anybody?
A doctor convicted of murder without a right to practice?
Where can I go?
The parole board said I can't leave the state.
What can I do with a board said I'll be sent back to prison
if I don't get a job?
Why didn't you let me serve out my sentence?
Why didn't you leave me alone?
They take it easy, because I can use you, Dr. Lambert.
I have connections, friends who need a doctor that can trust me.
Oh, who would trust me?
You can be trusted, because you have reason to hate and fear the law
as much as these connections of mine.
But I've got to have a legitimate job where I'll be sent back to prison.
I'll arrange that.
All right, what do I have to do?
It's right in your line as a surgeon.
You'll be ready in day or night to treat gunshot wounds, remove bullets,
perhaps grab skin and change faces which have unfortunately found their way
into the rogue's gallery of the police.
What's in it for me?
Money. Money you need for that first start when your years probation is over.
You'd let me go when my probation's up a year from now?
Sure.
That's fair enough, isn't it?
Just for one year.
Twelve months.
Then money and a chance to get away.
Far away.
All right, I get all to it. When do I start?
I'm afraid that they'll have to wait until one of my connections gets hit.
Meanwhile, you're two hundred of the retainer.
You're the probation board. You're working for me as an investigator.
But keep away from my law of his.
Just stay here and wait till you hear from me.
All right, all right, I understand.
Maybe a week even before he's got a call.
But when it comes, go where you're told.
And keep your mouth shut.
Or you'll go back to the big house for another stretch.

Metal Dr. Lambert.
A shyster lawyer.
A shyster doctor.
You're in good company, John Lambert.
Good company.
Oh, I've got to stop talking to myself.
I'm not in solitary.
I'm free.
I'm not in prison anymore.
What was that?
That voice.
No, you're still in prison.
You're not free, John Lambert.
You'll never be free.
They'll never let you go.
A voice.
It loved.
It spoke to me.
It answered me.
Oh, right.
Someone's losing my mind.
No, Lambert.
You're quite sane.
But unless you listen to me, you're entering another kind of bondage.
But what is this voice?
It can't happen.
It can.
There is more than a voice in this room.
I am quite through you.
Quite close to you.
As close as Rex Tiger was a few moments ago.
Hypnosis.
Yes.
Hypnosis.
I'm here in this room, but I've clouded your mind so that you cannot see me.
Who are you?
What do you want?
John Lambert.
Haven't you ever heard a certain name whispered through the dark cells of Lindy Prism?
A name associated with the unseen?
A name, criminals, hate and fear?
The shadow.
You are the shadow.
Yes.
But you have no reason to fear me.
I believe you're an innocent man unjustly convicted.
Oh, the newspaper said I was innocent, too.
But I went to prison just the same for seven long years.
Now, Tiger has offered me money.
Then freed him after a year.
What can you offer, shadow?
A chance to be true to your profession.
To yourself.
I have no profession.
They took that away from me, and they took my self-respect, too.
I'm not Dr. John Lambert, the surgeon.
I'm X-Cron, number 2847.
Convicted murderer.
Holland, we're all because of a shyster, deady shyster lawyer.
There is no more Dr. John Lambert.
You're wrong.
That was John Lambert speaking just now.
Crying out against this bargain you've made with Tiger.
A swine who never kept a bargain in his life.
Oh, yes.
You're right, shadow.
I can't go through with it.
And yet, if I don't, Tiger will send me back.
You know, he can. He has influence.
I have influence in power, Dr. Lambert.
Dr. Lambert.
Dr. Lambert.
When seven years and anybody called me Dr. without a sneer or a laugh.
What would you give to regain your profession on honor?
You escape Tiger's bondage.
Oh, don't, Shadow, please.
The law can make a man.
It's the law.
It needs your help.
Why should I help the law?
It's destroyed me.
You can help with an end to criminal slavery, such as Tiger's Office, you and countless others.
You can help wipe out a vicious racket.
That enslaved poor unfortunate's more than the prison from which they were released.
Prison.
Bondage.
Yes, that is.
It's bondage.
That freedom, not hope.
You'll never be free.
You'll never have hope.
Unless.
Unless watch, Shadow.
Unless you help me put Tiger in his kind behind bars.
All right, Shadow.
I will.
I'll do it.
I'll do anything you say.
Because I know I can trust you.
Even the men you sent to Lingate, the men who hate and say you swear you'll never break your word.
I'll keep my word, Dr. Lambert.
Tell me what you want me to do.
Do nothing until Tiger's associates call you.
Then go where they tell you.
But before you go.
I want you to phone a certain number.
What number, Shadow?
It's written on the old prescription pad on your desk.
On the old prescription pad.
Yes, Dr. Lambert.
On the prescription pad.
See it there?
Old.
Seven years, year old with age.
But that number will bring the Shadow to you.
Wherever you go.
And it will mark the beginning of the road back for you and many others.
If you do not fail me.
If you do not fail, the Shadow.
In just a moment, we continue with the Shadow's gripping adventure.
But first, a warning to all homeowners.
Despite the present warms, fair advance reports from meteorologists predict that the various winter in 11 years.
So there's no time like right now to order your supply of anthracite.
It's the fuel furnaces in this section were especially designed to burn.
And it's the fuel which will give you more even dependable and helpful heat at less cost.
But when you order your supply, don't be content with just any anthracite.
Insist on blue coal.
And be sure of getting America's finest anthracite.
Blue coal is the only trademarked hard coal.
It's a guaranteed product of the Glen Alden coal company.
The world's largest anthracite producer.
Each car load, as it comes from their minds, is carefully tested by inspectors.
Only the coal which meets Glen Alden's highest standards of quality is accepted for shipment.
And trademarked a harmless blue for easy identification.
You'll welcome blue coal's greater economy.
It burns better, banks better, gives you longer firing theory.
So call and order your supply of blue coal tomorrow.
Your dealer's name is listed in the red barred section of your classified telephone directory.
Under the words, blue coal.
And be sure to ask your dealer about the blue coal heat regulator.
It's a thermostat which controls your furnace dampers automatically.
And saves you all the time and trouble of constant furnace attention.
It costs only $18.95 plus a nominal installation charge.
The blue coal is the only car sold in the world.
The blue coal is the only car sold in the world.
The blue coal is the only car sold in the world.
The blue coal is the only car sold in the world.
I believe this is the end of the trail, Margo.
I hope the old Margo.
Why did you drop it down with phone, you?
But an hour ago, Tiger ordered him to go to the old empire hotel.
Where's that?
Long the beach, about three blocks from here.
Slow the car down, Margot.
I thought it'd be a hotel out there with clothes for the winter.
Yeah.
So it makes an ideal headquarters for Tiger's mob.
Why don't you let condition of Western Round
the Muffler Mark you've done enough?
No, Margot.
I promised Western a near tight case.
I've got to be sure the whole outfit is caught
with the goods before I give Western the word to close in.
What makes you so sure this will be the finish?
It's the logical time for the gang to be paid off, Margot.
Those three big jewel robberies, this week,
call unquestionably Tiger's gang.
That girl going into the stores and asking to see
certain valuable gems.
That's just real, all right, the description fitted perfectly.
But why did they call for Dr. Lambert?
The driver of the Getaway car was shot, Margot.
Are they two to one Lambert is treating him right now?
They carefully doesn't have to take a bullet out of the channels.
Let's stop right here, Margot.
Yeah, this is close enough.
Now, Margot, wait and keep the short wave,
tuned in on the bend the shadow always uses.
Born Western, the minute I give the word,
then go straight back to town and wait for me.
The mod if I don't hear from you in an hour.
You'll still stay away from the Empire Hotel, Margot Lane.
That's an order.
The mod cramps in there at times,
and I wish I'd never heard of the shadow.
Well, go on, the mod and get this over with.
So what's the timing?
Oh, there it is.
Here it is.
Ready, go on.
Get down, get down.
All right, okay, fine, fine.
I'm going to burn fast enough for the last two hours.
Okay, then.
Please take it easy.
Let them take it.
Take that guy quiet.
Give him something.
Let's run with the pain.
The Memory is doile.
Why didn't you call me sooner?
Take some up and then there are so many questions.
Where's Tigers?
Where's Tigers?
You do as you're told and shut that guy up.
Come on, Doyle.
And get it flippin' it up.
OK, I can keep ya, Shayna.
I'm comin'.
Doyle, don't take me.
Don't eat that.
I'm sorry, but I guess I'll have to put you under.
Oh, why doesn't the shadow come?
They're all here, why doesn't he come?
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
I am here, Dr. Lambert.
I've been here for several minutes.
Shadow, thank heavens you found the place.
Well, I'll tag it.
Hello, then.
Give them an hype, or we can stand it.
Put him to sleep.
I've already given it to him.
But he should be in a hospital.
He'll be on his way to a hospital in a few minutes.
Are those the men you want out there, Shadow?
Red doll is the actual leader of the gang.
But Tiger gives the order.
I don't know anything about Grogon.
Grogon is the rottenest of the luck.
He's a political fixer.
Without whom no big gang can operate.
I know, but you're not going to tackle him alone.
No.
But we're going to hold him in the next room
until the police can close in.
The mission of Western is waiting for word from me.
New hand le gun?
Yes, yes.
This wounded man has gone under.
He won't give us any trouble.
Good.
Quick now.
Take his gun over there on the table.
All right, Shadow.
It's loaded.
Good.
Now, fuck at that gun.
Go in that other room.
Get as close to Tiger that you can.
When I speak, grab Tiger and shove that gun in his back.
Don't let anyone get behind you.
All right, Shadow.
You haven't failed me so far.
And I trust you now.
Calling Margolaine.
Calling Margolaine.
Born Western at the 17th precinct station.
He is there, ready and waiting.
Tell him to surround and raid the Empire Hotel.
Break into basement.
There's no one escape.
There's no one escape.
That is all.
All right, Tiger.
The split is all figured out.
Here's the payoff sheet.
All right, Doyle.
Fail the punt first.
You'll get them out of here.
OK.
Come here, Rootdale.
Here's your cut.
50 bucks.
I know what it is.
I will take it.
50 dollars.
50 dollars for turning criminals.
Helping Rob three jewelry stores.
You got $50,000 worth of gems.
The newspaper says so.
I'll quit reading the papers.
Say you always double a haul.
50 dollars for helping you.
A friend's only paid us 10 grand for this stuff.
There was five of them, a regular boys who did the dirty work.
A grand for Tiger.
The spring is of things when haywire.
A grand for a broken for a fixed destination.
To get away.
Don't take it, Root.
There's no other way.
Take it or leave it.
Only remember what I told you.
The electric chair is still waiting for your brother yet.
Oh, man, I don't want the money.
I don't care.
Just let us know.
Out of the way, James.
All right, Dale.
Here's your cut.
100 bucks.
Don't take it, Harry.
Don't.
Better take your share, Dale.
Next time I may not be able to spring you.
No, my sister's right.
I didn't want to get mixed up in this.
You made me, Tigers.
I'm getting off with Root.
Don't try it.
Nobody, Twitt.
All right.
Now beat it, punk.
Go on up there.
Don't encroach me and I've got some things to talk over.
What about me, Tigers?
I almost forgot you landed.
Didn't see you're standing behind me.
Give the doubt to Andrew Dorf.
How are the patients?
As well as could be expected.
Don't worry if you're losing.
He's a dumbbell anyhow.
Come on, Doyle.
Let's you target and make it down a business.
Okay, okay, Grogon.
Come on, Dale.
You and your sister-in-lam, but speed it.
Not so fast, gentlemen.
Yeah, what's that?
Just an unseen guest at the division of the spoils of crime.
Like it.
There's only one guy that lives like that.
A guy nobody's even seen.
Yes, Tiger.
The shadow.
He's come for a cut, give it on.
He's poison.
He'll get it cut.
Send still, Tigers.
Don't move.
Lambert.
What are you doing in this?
Mr. O'Neal.
See the mess down over and back you fool.
Doyle.
Grogon.
Get up there.
They move out, you tired.
Well done, Dr. Grogon.
But careful, Tiger.
Lambert.
You double.
Shut up, Tiger.
Doyle.
Throw your gun on the table.
Try it.
Now you, Grogon.
I don't carry a gun.
Hurry, Dale.
That's Grogon.
Miss Dale, you said Tiger.
All right.
Grogon hasn't got a gun, Shadow.
Tiger hasn't either.
Don't move.
No, it's Tyrant's mean commissioner Western and the police.
They're coming to the feast of the unholy free.
Shadow.
I don't want to get mixed up with this gang.
Tiger drinks my parole and force me into it.
Will you tell that to a grand jury, Dale?
Yes.
Yes, I'll testify.
I'll testify against them.
And my sister will too, won't you?
Yes, I'll tell the police everything.
I'll tell them, Shadow.
If you turn state evidence, you'll both go free.
I have commissioner Western's promise.
Oh, you're working with commissioner Western, eh, Shadow?
I've always worked for law and order.
Keep away from those books on the table, Grogon.
Dale, pick up those books.
Hold on to them.
Give them to Western when he gets here.
You can't pay anything on me, Shadow.
Your name is in those books.
You're on the payroll, Grogon.
Those books will send you up for 20 years.
The cops are coming down here.
Don't move.
There we are, now.
There we are, boys.
Run, boys.
And we are on.
Don't move.
Mr. Western.
Here's the gang's book.
Thanks, Dale.
I know all about you.
All right, Dr. Lambert.
You can take that gun out of Tiger's flash.
I know all about you, too.
You'll sweat for this weapon.
Well, but this is my old pain in the neck, Grogon.
A political sticker.
He's part of the gang.
He's on the payroll.
You ain't got nothing to make you.
What about this girl here for me, sir?
He's all right, too.
Don't put the cop down there.
Red Doyle.
Tiger.
Grogon.
What a nice word.
You'll never pin anything on me, Western.
There you go.
Sights the press for the trial, Tiger.
All right, take him away, boys.
Thank you.
Sergeant.
Yes, sir.
Dr. Lambert, my office.
If there's statements, they'll have a wait for me.
Get me through.
There's a wounded man in the other room, Commissioner.
He's badly hurt.
Sergeant, get him and rush him to the hospital.
All right, boys.
Take the cruts out of here.
I'm pulling it.
I'm pulling it.
I'm pulling it.
Get him out of here.
Hello?
Yes, Commissioner?
Thanks.
He was certainly handed me an airtight case against three
of the biggest crooks in the city.
You'll keep your promise to help Dr. Lambert.
Dale and his sister?
You'll kept your promise.
I'll keep mine.
That's all I ask.
You're a strange man, Shadow.
Let's all you ever ask.
I told you I was just a citizen interested in law enforcement,
in seeing the innocent protected from the guilty punished.
Goodbye, Commissioner.
Until we meet again.
In just a moment, we have a surprise for you.
A preview of next week's exciting Shadow Adventure.
But first, here's John Bartley,
blue-cold heating expert,
with the more helpful information to all householders.
Mr. Bartley.
Thank you, Ken Roberts and good evening, friends.
Many people write in to tell me that they don't get the best heating result
from the amount of coal they put on the fire.
Well, that may be caused by losing heat up the chimney.
Chimney loss is a common source of trouble
and unnecessary waste of coal.
However, it's an easy matter to remedy.
The next time you fix the fire,
move the handle of your turn damper
that disk inside the smoke pipe,
one sixteenth of an inch toward the closed position.
If the fire continues to burn freely,
turn it another sixteenth of an inch.
Repeat this operation until you move the turn damper
as near as possible to the closed position.
So the nearer the turn damper to the closed position,
the smaller the chimney loss.
When you found the ideal adjustment,
mark the position with a piece of chalk on the smoke pipe
and leave your damper there throughout the burning season.
If you find you have any other particular heating problem,
I suggest you call your blue-cold dealer.
He'll place a train, John Barkley heating service man
at your disposal.
You'll find him fully qualified to check over your furnace
and show you how to get better heat at less cost.
I thank you.
Now I'll preview of next week's shadow story, Black Rock.
Martin, I knew too much.
You're working for me now, what I say goes.
Okay, back at me, get it.
What's the gag, a big business executive
like you, time crook, shut up your toe and listen to me.
Now here's the setup.
I'm going to steal or shall I say acquire
the entire profits, two million dollars of my company.
Oh boy, I get it and then leave all the poor stockholders
holding the bag.
You take candy from a baby, wouldn't you?
Don't worry, you two guys.
You'll get your cut.
Well, innocent stockholders be robbed by an unscrupulous profit here
or will the shadow be able to protect them?
Find out next week when you hear the shadow's newest adventure,
Black Rock.
This program has been the dramatized version of one of the many
copyrighted stories which appear in the shadow magazine,

The weed of crime.
There's bitter fruit.
Crime does not pay.
The shadow knows.

blue coal America's finest anthracite will again present the shadow.
Be sure to listen and be sure to burn blue coal.
The solid fuel for a solid country.
