The Shadow was a dark and mysterious radio drama from the 1940s, featuring the eerie voice of Lamont Cranston, a man who could cloud men’s minds and become invisible. With his haunting laugh and the chilling question “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows,” the show delivered suspenseful tales of crime and justice.
Desperate father Paul Gordon, in a bid to pay for his sick child’s treatment, unwittingly becomes the getaway driver in a bank robbery, is framed for murder, and sentenced to die. As the execution looms, The Shadow delves into Gordon’s mind, uncovers the crooks’ identities, leads the police to evidence, and orchestrates a last-minute rescue that spares his life.
