Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

The natives are coming to kill you, Carlos.

You heard my voice.

But I was only a little way behind you.

By the simple trick of ventriloquism, Miss Hoyt.

Carlin thought I was standing next to him in the shadows.

When his own invention destroyed him.

And those unfortunate natives.

Yes, Miss Hoyt.

With your father and Carlin gone, we must wait until another mind can conceive it again.

Until then, the secret must remain entombed in the volcano of the White God.

You have been listening to a dramatized version of one of the many copyrighted stories which appear in the Shadow Magazine.

All the characters and all the places named are fictitious.

Any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

In just a moment, the Shadow starts his thrilling adventure.

But first,

A word about this invisible enemy of the underworld.

The Shadow, the furious character who raids the forces of law and order, is in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town.

As the Shadow, he is the mortal enemy of all those who would work evil upon their fellow men.

Cranston is gifted with the hypnotic power to cloud men's minds so that they cannot see him.

This hypnotic power is the result of years of research in the mystical origins.
