The Shadow Lamont Cranston, a man of wealth, a student of science, and a master of other people's minds, devotes his life to righting wrongs, protecting the innocent, and punishing the guilty.

Using advanced methods that may ultimately become available to all law enforcement agencies, Cranston 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.
