Ladies and gentlemen, before the curtain goes up on the Shadow's latest exciting adventure, let me say this. I know that every one of you who owns a car is looking for a tire that will give you the greatest protection against skids and blowouts. And you'd like to get that tire without paying a price premium, wouldn't you?

0

66.923 - 88.352 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

Well, I'm going to tell you about a new kind of tire that will stop you quicker, safer on wet, slippery roads than you've ever stopped before. This amazing tire is the new Goodrich. Spelled G-O-O-D-R-I-C-H. Goodrich Safety Silvertown with the Lifesaver Tread. And when Goodrich engineers developed this new tire, they certainly did a job.

88.992 - 107.714 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

For instance, you all know what a windshield wiper does to a windshield. Well, motorists, that's exactly what the new Silvertown Lifesaver Tread does to rain-drenched roads. Because the never-ending spiral bars of this tread actually act like a whole battery of windshield wipers. They sweep the water right and left.

Chapter 2: Who is Lamont Cranston and what is his role in the story?

108.195 - 124.838 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

They force it out through the deep grooves. Thus, a dry track is made for the rubber to grip. And that means when you're riding along on wet pavements and have to step on the brake, you'll get the quickest non-skid stops you've ever seen. Believe me, there's nothing like a Silvertown stop to make you feel secure.

125.519 - 146.17 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

And when you realize that Silvertowns are also the only tires that give you the famous golden ply protection against high-speed blowout, is it any wonder this new tire is called the safest thing on wheels? Have this life-saving tire put on your car before it's too late There is no extra cost.

167.288 - 182.01 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

As haunting to superstitious minds as a ghost. as inevitable as a guilty conscience. The Shadow's true identity is known only to his constant friend and aide, Margot Lane. Today's story, The White Guard.

185.293 - 189.497 Unknown

Gentlemen, the Navy Department has today asked me to give ship owners this message.

Chapter 3: What mystery surrounds the missing yacht owned by Rudolph Hoyt?

190.258 - 207.98 Unknown

We have today abandoned our extensive air and sea efforts to trace the missing yacht owned by Rudolph Hoyt, millionaire scientist, last reported in that region of the South Pacific which has in recent months ...come to be known as the graveyard of the Pacific... ...because of more than 15 disappearances of ocean vessels... ...in that area within the past two years.

0

208.1 - 223.713 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

Admiral Champion. We ship owners beg you to continue your investigation... ...to clear up this mystery of the South Pacific. All this publicity of missing ships... ...especially the publicity about the Hoyt Yacht... ...has ruined our Pacific shipping. Why, we can't even sign up a crew to ship on our boat. I tell you, Admiral, this mystery must be cleared up.

0

224.154 - 233.723 Unknown

Gentlemen, gentlemen. The Navy is just as anxious as you are to solve this mystery... because of our naval operations in the Pacific, but we can't find a single explanation.

0

233.763 - 239.049 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

May I make a suggestion, Admiral? Don't bother to try and see where I am, gentlemen. You can't see me.

0

239.21 - 239.91 Unknown

Well, who are you?

240.231 - 241.132 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

I am the Shadow.

Chapter 4: How does The Shadow plan to investigate the graveyard of the Pacific?

241.152 - 242.133 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

The Shadow?

0

242.774 - 248.1 Unknown

You're that invisible man who's always helping the police and always working against crime? Quite right, sir.

0

248.4 - 266.246 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

I do have the power of invisibility to conceal my being and my emotions from assisting authorities in... Maintaining law and order and peace. Can you help us solve this mystery of the graveyard of the Pacific? I think that possibly I can, gentlemen. Just a moment. You know something about it? I have a strong suspicion that the graveyard of the Pacific is really the work of some individual.

0

266.266 - 281.504 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

It's incredible. It isn't logical that a group of modern ships, each one manned by an expert crew, equipped with the finest marine devices, should disappear unless they were made to disappear. And with a little help from you, Admiral... I think I can prove it. Well, what do you want of me?

288.512 - 296.001 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

I'm sorry, sir, but my identity must remain unknown. Besides that, I feel that I will be of greater value to the venture if our enemies cannot see me.

296.021 - 299.805 Unknown

Very well. I think I can arrange it through Washington. How many will be in your party?

0

299.865 - 309.941 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

A young woman named Margot Lane will be your visible passenger. I will be with her, but you will not see me. You will advise the crew of my invisible state as the shadow and tell them to obey my voice. even though they cannot see me.

310.082 - 310.722 Unknown

Anyone else coming?

Well, that's what I've got to find out.

351.184 - 352.085 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

I'm not quite sure yet.

0

352.445 - 353.386 Margot Lane

Is there any way I can help?

0

353.406 - 383.661 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

Yes, Margot. This cruiser will put in at one of the South Pacific islands tomorrow. I'm going ashore. I may be gone a day or two or a week. I'm trying to get my information. I'd like you to stay close to the shortwave set. The moment I have any information, I'll contact you. Please. As soon as you hear from me, do the thing I ask you to do at once. Margo Lane.

Where is this seaplane taking us? It's taking us to an island on which there lives someone the natives call the White God. A witch doctor told me about him.

The White God?

0
0

417.097 - 440.737 Lamont Cranston (The Shadow)

From the witch doctor's description, it's obviously a man who has managed to overawe the ignorant natives with elemental experiments in chemistry and physics, which he passes off as magic. Pilate. Pilate, what made the plane lurch like that? I don't know, Shadow. There it is again. Something's tugging at the plane. Tugging at the airplane? Yeah. The motors have gone crazy.

0

441.879 - 448.975 Timmy, the Pilot

I can hardly keep them going. Pilot, we're descending. Yeah, we're being pulled down. Look, we're heading toward that island. You're right, Margo.

448.995 - 449.095

Look.

449.26 - 466.418 Timmy, the Pilot

The wreckage of boats.

466.438 - 471.663 Rudolph Hoyt

Crashed on the rocks. Deserted in those coves. Timmy, is this not Dean? Yes, Margo. The graveyard of the Pacific. Hey, look at the wings of the plane. Remember, Dean, turn out.

Yeah.
