00:01Well, did you check?
00:03Who is he?
00:05The Shadow. The criminologist.
00:09He is not to be taken lightly.
00:12Neither were the best detectives of Paris, London, New York.
00:16Yet, here we are.
00:20An amateur.
00:23Well, Mr. Canson, how are you feeling this morning?
00:25Now listen, Mo, for the last time.
00:27If you ever call me by name again, or recognize me, or even speak to me before you're spoken to...
00:31I'm fired!
00:32That's right.
00:33Okay, Stanger.
00:34I wonder where our friend, Mr. Cranston, is.
00:41There's something wrong, Stalker.
00:42There's something wrong with your nerves, my friend.
00:44We are not going to leave here with our work half finished.
00:47Yes, yes.
00:48I know how much that's at stake.
00:49That's why I'm so uneasy.
00:50Here.
00:55Yes.
00:56friend, Mr. Cranston, is. There's something wrong, Stalko. There's something wrong with your nerves,
01:03my friend. We are not going to leave here with our work half finished. Yes, yes, I know how much
01:10there's at stake. That's why I'm so uneasy.
01:26That's right. Tell everybody we're here. Suppose Flodo or Stalko would have been behind this door
01:45instead of me. Oh, but they couldn't be. They're both at the restaurant, and I thought you'd be
01:48there having lunch with them, too. Oh, and this would be a good time to do a little detecting.
01:52Uh-huh. Well, for once, you had a good idea. Well, come on, let's get busy and look for the clue.
01:58So you've got a clue, have you? Why, yes, the watch and the wallet that were missing from the man's body.
02:04And where do you suggest we look for them? Well, my mother always used to hide things in the mattress,
02:09and, oh, if we could only find a teapot, I'm sure it would be in there. Well, then all we have to do
02:14is find a teapot. Uh-huh, come on, let's get started. Telephone, Mr. Flodo.
02:22Hello. Hello. We have waited long enough, Rudolph. Has our man come home from downtown?
02:34Not yet, sir. I understand he won't be home before late. He's to meet our countrymen here
02:42for a final conference tonight. We must know his plans. Keep in touch with us at the apartment.
02:48We'll be there in a few... Waiter. Yes, sir. Check.
02:55I think we should definitely stay here and find that watch and wallet.
02:58Now, my woman's intuition... My woman's intuition...
03:00Hello? This is Flodo.
03:12The master has just gotten home. Early in the afternoon will occur an opportunity when he is gone.
03:19Shh, no more. Someone is coming. I'll call you back.
03:23What's happened?
03:26Uh, just a minute.
03:30Operator, can you trace that last call to this number, please?
03:33But it's important.
03:35Oh, I see. Thank you.
03:38Are they going to trace the call?
03:39Oh, they can't trace a call on a dial phone.
03:42What are we going to do now?
03:43Well, wait till he calls back.
03:45Till who calls back?
03:47The fellow I just talked with.
03:48Oh, hello. Hello.
04:10We were afraid we had missed you.
04:13We've been waiting and waiting, haven't we, dear?
04:16What are you doing here?
04:19Well, he came for the luncheon.
04:22But the appointment was to have luncheon at the restaurant.
04:24Oh, how stupid of me.
04:26You know, I'm afraid last night when we made the appointment, my mind wasn't on it.
04:31You know, my wife had that attack.
04:33I trust she's better now.
04:35No, I'm afraid she's even worse.
04:38Aren't you, dear?
04:41Yes.
04:43Make her comfortable.
04:45We soon have lunch.
04:46Oh.
04:48Oh, poor darling.
04:50No, you see, she's getting another attack.
04:52I must take her for the air right away.
04:54Just a minute, Mr. Cranston.
04:56Your hand, Mr. Shadow.
04:59What do you suspect us of?
05:01And why?
05:02Oh, well, now you'll have to listen to the broadcast to hear that.
05:05You see, our business is to get interviews, not to give them.
05:08Isn't it, sweetheart?
05:10Yes, sir.
05:10And may we go now?
05:13No.
05:14Now that we have you here, you are going to stay.
05:16Take your time, mister.
05:19Taxi stranger?
05:22Scram, Phoebe.
05:25Thanks for your hospitality, boys.
05:29Nice work, Moe.
05:31Moe?
05:31I thought we were strangers.
05:33Have a cigarette, pal?
05:42The police.
05:43What makes you think so?
05:44Because he prefers to work alone.
05:49Hello.
05:50What's that?
05:52That wasn't I.
05:54We were not at home then.
05:55That was Cranston.
05:57Repeat what you told them.
05:57Come on.
05:58Come on.
05:58Come on.
05:58Come on.
05:59Come on.
05:59It's Rudolph.
06:03He told Cranston his master would be at home this afternoon
06:05that an opportunity might occur to strike.
06:07That's indefinite but incriminating.
06:10You must act at once, today.
06:12Tomorrow may be too late.
06:15Naturally, my woman's intuition told me that we should get out of there,
06:17but I was afraid to tell you because I thought you'd laugh at me.
06:19Well, thank goodness, it's all over.
06:20There's nothing to worry about now.
06:22You take your woman's intuition and go to luncheon.
06:24Oh, trying to get rid of me.
06:25Well, I'm not going to go.
06:25I'm not going to miss any more fun.
06:27Well, I've got some work to do.
06:28Now, you run along, please.
06:29All right.
06:31It's a good girl.
06:39Burke.
06:40Burke.
06:41Mom.
06:42Burke.
06:45Burke.
06:46Come on.
06:46Get up and get going.
06:47Where to?
06:48Go to the Midtown Apartments, stake out, watch for two foreigners in a closed car.
06:53Phone me as soon as they leave.
06:54Okay.
06:55And hurry for a change.
06:56Okay, Chief.
06:57Heath.
07:00Hello?
07:02Oh, yes, Mr. Heath.
07:03No, still as much in the dark as ever.
07:06Well, those fellas are rather clever.
07:09As a matter of fact, they're planning another deal right now.
07:14Well, if I knew that, I wouldn't be hanging around here working.
07:16Pardon me.
07:17Come in.
07:18Come in.
07:18Oh, hello, Barrows.
07:21Sit down.
07:21Be right with you.
07:22Yes, Heath.
07:23No, thanks.
07:24I don't need you.
07:25What I need is a clairvoyant.
07:26Right.
07:27So long.
07:28I have that Morton information for you.
07:30Good.
07:31I understand that Gerald Morton's firm was interested in some very big international deals.
07:35Was that right?
07:36Yes, they still are.
07:38I made these notations for you.
07:40Their recent underwritings include 10 million Argentine fours, 28 million Danish refunding two-and-a-halves.
07:46And I understand they'll soon issue several new European debentures.
07:50Well, what about them?
07:51That might be a good investment for me.
07:53Certainly.
07:54However, these new bonds that Morton and Morton are about to offer seem to me to be highly speculative.
07:59But if the 50 million is spent to build up the army as intended, the exiled aristocrats will never succeed with their threatened revolution.
08:05Good.
08:05That's what I wanted to find out.
08:08Oh, pardon me.
08:08Miss Lane, do you know Mr. Barrows, our financial editor?
08:11Oh, you do.
08:11Oh, you do.
08:13What's this all about?
08:14At a time like this, you're talking about investments.
08:17I'll be with you in a minute.
08:19Editorial.
08:19Editorial.
08:20Cranston speaking.
08:21Whole shadow column for remake.
08:22Right.
08:24I brought you some lunch.
08:25I was in such a hurry, I dropped you a bottle of beer, but we can share mine.
08:28A good assistant would never let her boss go hungry.
08:30Oh, thank you, Miss Lane.
08:31And now will you phone the commissioner and tell him I'll call him back later.
08:34What's his number?
08:35You'll find it in the book.
08:36Two.
08:37Two.
08:38Four.
08:39Nine.
08:40Nine.
08:41Seven.
08:42Two.
08:43Four.
08:44Nine.
08:45Seven.
08:46Two.
08:47Four.
08:48Nine.
08:49Five.
08:50Five.
08:51Six.
08:52Seven.
08:55Two.
08:56Four.
08:57Nine.
08:58Nine.
08:59Four.
09:00Nine.
09:08There you are, Commissioner.
09:09First edition on the streets now.
09:11With the full explanation, apology by the shadow.
09:13Hmm.
09:14The apology could have been stronger.
09:16I hope this paves the way for renewing friendly relations.
09:20I'm no enemy of the shadow.
09:22I always give him credit for being somewhat clever.
09:25But he should remember he's only an amateur.
09:28After all, we're professionals.
09:29That's right, Commissioner.
09:31And I hope that you'll restore the daily classic to good standing with the department right away.
09:36Of course I will.
09:37Take a general order.
09:38Cigar, Commissioner?
09:40No, thanks.
09:45Wait till you get a load of this, Phoebe.
09:47The Morton case will break wide open tonight and it'll be a big surprise to the police.
09:51Hmm.
09:52Pardon me.
09:53Under the misguidance of Commissioner Weston, the department has wasted 24 hours searching for the wrong man,
09:58with the right men under their noses all the time.
10:00But won't that make the Commissioner furious?
10:02Pardon me.
10:04You would get hard boiled eggs.
10:06And although the murders have completely baffled the police by their shrewdness and daring,
10:11pardon me,
10:12the shadow knows who they are and why they killed Gerald Morton.
10:16But how do you know that?
10:17We didn't find a single clue and just a motive.
10:19Ah, yes we did.
10:21And you know when it happens.
10:22You're intelligent.
10:23You sparkle.
10:24I don't know what I'd have done without you on this case,
10:26but we've got to keep going.
10:27Here, rush this down for the night edition.
10:29Yes, sir.
10:30Pardon me.
10:31Pardon me!
10:32Let me!
10:33I told you.
11:03I told you not to fight, Weston.
11:05You've ruined the...
