The shadow
was
amateur
criminologist
Lamont
Cranston.
He had
learned
“the
hypnotic
power to
cloud
men’s
minds so
that they
cannot see
him”. The
opening to
the show,
“Who knows
… what
evil …
lllllurks
… in the
heart of
men? … The
Shadow
knows! His
“friend
and
companion,
the lovely
Margo
Lane, is
the only
person who
knows to
whom the
voice of
the
invisible
Shadow
belongs”.
Together
they
confront
the
maddest
assortment
of
lunatics,
sadists,
ghosts and
werewolves
ever heard
on the
air.
