Previously on The Shadow: Just before his death, the mayor sends a box of dirt on the local graft ring to retired businessman Richard Whilton. Whilton, of course, is promptly bumped off, and the box stolen. The Shadow makes the scene, finding a coin dropped by the killer, but the cops burst in and he has to fight his way out. On the way, he promises Whilton’s daughter Eunice to set things right.
Last week, Lamont Cranston paid a visit
to community reformer James Belver, who suspects the dead guy’s attorney, Rufus
Voggle. Voggle enters and casts suspicion on Eunice’s
out-of-town fiance, Larry Sherrin. Spotting an ad for the coin in the Lost and Found, The Shadow flits over to the address in search of the
killer. Instead, he finds the sealed box. Picking it up triggers an alarm, and
the cops chase him to the roof, where he falls through a
skylight to certain doom. Or so it seems . . .
Continued next week . . .
