Lamont Cranston

what evil lurks in the hearts of men.

The Shadow knows.

The Shadow, mysterious character who aids those in distress and helps the forces of law and order, is in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town.

Cranston's friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane, is the only person who knows to whom the unseen voice belongs.

The only one who knows the true identity of that master of other people's minds, the shadow.

Today's story, Black Rock.

Plane's all ready for a takeoff, Martin.

And what a takeoff.

Right straight to a watery grave, if you only knew it.

Listen, Ward, you better not let Boykett hear you shooting off your mouth like that.

I ain't scared of that swindler.

He ain't got nothing on me.

Oh, no, nothing at all, except that you're a pilot without a license who's been making his living flying smuggled dope.

So what?

Don't think I can't see what goes on.

I know that Burkett swindled his stockholders out of a couple of million bucks.

And now he's skipping on this plane.

Well, what if he is?

You're getting paid plenty, ain't you?

Sure, sure.
