- 0:11Speaker 1: Who knows what evil l in the hearts of men,
- 0:19Speaker 1: The shadow knows.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Your local blue coal dealer presents the shadow. These half
- 0:29Speaker 2: hour dramatizations are designed to forcibly demonstrate to old and
- 0:33Speaker 2: young alike that crime does not pay. Before we present
- 0:41Speaker 2: the first act of today's shadow story, a brief reminder
- 0:43Speaker 2: to you homeowners. You all know what an unpredictable month marshes,
- 0:48Speaker 2: the weather's blusterer, bitter cold one day, and mild benex
- 0:52Speaker 2: and I don't have to remind you how very dangerous
- 0:54Speaker 2: those extremes of temperature are to the health of everyone
- 0:57Speaker 2: in your family. Now, if you want to ensure steady,

- 1:07Speaker 2: blue coal dealer. Get us supply of blue coal, the
- 1:11Speaker 2: quality tested hard coal, but guarantees you steadier, more helpful
- 1:16Speaker 2: heating performance than satisfaction. Don't gamble with just any ordinary coal.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Insists on blue coals.
- 1:23Speaker 3: Ask for it by name.
- 1:25Speaker 2: It's the cold that trademarks blue, so you can identify
- 1:28Speaker 2: it at a glass. It's the coal that will give
- 1:30Speaker 2: you better heat with less furnit attention As our story opened,
- 1:39Speaker 2: we find Lamont Cranston with his friend Margot Lane and
- 1:41Speaker 2: his apartment, busily turning.
- 1:43Speaker 4: The dials with a.
- 1:44Speaker 5: Shortwave radio receiver, Margo. A few nights ago, I came
- 1:50Speaker 5: across a very seculiar noise on the radio. Couldn't figure
- 1:53Speaker 5: out what it was, So I got my recording set
- 1:56Speaker 5: out tonight, and I'm going to make a record of
- 1:58Speaker 5: this strange broadcast.
- 2:00Speaker 3: I remember who start the recorders.
- 2:01Speaker 5: We recorded everything we could think of. It was a
- 2:03Speaker 5: lot of fun, yes, particularly a duet there it is.
- 2:08Speaker 5: Stop the machine. We're recorded right now. I can't make it.
- 2:18Speaker 5: It doesn't sound like a human voice. It's wait, I'll
- 2:23Speaker 5: play a recording bag. See you know what it is.
- 2:31Speaker 3: When you need to play slower, will not be a
- 2:32Speaker 3: land ali better?
- 2:34Speaker 5: Yes, how slow it down? It's a man's voice. It's
- 2:40Speaker 5: very clear when the record is played slower. And what
- 2:43Speaker 5: a simple trick. They've merely made a record of a
- 2:46Speaker 5: slow speed and played it fast, so you can't get
- 2:48Speaker 5: it anyone. You think the message. They must have a
- 2:51Speaker 5: recording off it like mine and play it back at
- 2:53Speaker 5: the low speed. Let's listen to the record again. That's
- 2:57Speaker 5: when I started yeah, uh, it will be operator.
- 3:02Speaker 3: See you got the play man fee to night.
- 3:05Speaker 5: If the sis will be destroyed to the.
- 3:07Speaker 6: Model of Mama, we will apply, explain to the Gordon
- 3:10Speaker 6: lightship and then turn my youth out right.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Get true to that point in hard built and put
- 3:16Speaker 3: up every.
- 3:18Speaker 6: Plain will be destroyed at Tea. They cannot bring it
- 3:21Speaker 6: down on land at any cause it will never be recovered.
- 3:26Speaker 6: We have the only a good things that are planned
- 3:30Speaker 6: and the designer dead operate a run in command.
- 3:35Speaker 5: H do you know what that means? Model No, I
- 3:37Speaker 5: don't know. And new army plane is due tomorrow or
- 3:39Speaker 5: next day at the Airdromes. It's one of the most
- 3:41Speaker 5: revolutionary inventions in the history of military aviation. Only one
- 3:45Speaker 5: of these planes has been built and not one of
- 3:48Speaker 5: the men who worked on its construction was permitted to
- 3:50Speaker 5: know all its secrets, and its designer is date.
- 3:54Speaker 7: Oh.
- 3:55Speaker 5: With this plane in the hands of an invading power,
- 3:57Speaker 5: this country would be wiped out before our defenses could
- 3:59Speaker 5: be more.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Tell me about it.
- 4:00Speaker 5: What kind of play the plane is? Revolutionary design?
- 4:03Speaker 1: Morgo.
- 4:04Speaker 5: It's equipped with a very intricate short wave radio control
- 4:07Speaker 5: out of it. By means of this short wave one
- 4:10Speaker 5: of the planes in control up to fifty flying bombs
- 4:13Speaker 5: flying bound. That's precisely what they are, unpiloted miniature aeroplanes.
- 4:19Speaker 5: They're extremely fast, can be directed by the mothership at
- 4:21Speaker 5: any target, from a speedy bombing plane to an army
- 4:24Speaker 5: tank or battleship. As far as I know, they've only
- 4:26Speaker 5: built three or four the flying bombs. Something has a
- 4:28Speaker 5: little work on.
- 4:29Speaker 7: What can we do.
- 4:30Speaker 5: We've got to find the short wave station that broadcast
- 4:32Speaker 5: that record. But how can we ever find them? You know, Mongo,
- 4:35Speaker 5: the closer you get to a broadcasting station, the louder
- 4:38Speaker 5: the program comes in. We'll noting in my car. I
- 4:41Speaker 5: have a simple device with a needle and dial that
- 4:44Speaker 5: shows accurately when you're getting near a radio transmitter. With
- 4:47Speaker 5: the aid of that device, Margo, we are sure to
- 4:50Speaker 5: find that station. I don't think it pend in Houston.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Downy, put the.
- 5:01Speaker 8: Reds the mountain.
- 5:02Speaker 5: What is the direct now, Marga, put down the mountain. Well,
- 5:05Speaker 5: we'll go southeast now. It didn't really getting.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Strong in the mount The diree is pretty down.
- 5:14Speaker 5: Good covered every inch of the city. It must be
- 5:17Speaker 5: a road that goes further east from here, and the
- 5:19Speaker 5: only place down the roots. It here is Roberts Reef.
- 5:22Speaker 5: Do you think it could oh, couldn't be out there? Uh?
- 5:25Speaker 5: But says oh you know, hunger down house on the reef.
- 5:28Speaker 5: I think you'll hit it, Margot.
- 5:29Speaker 3: How do you get there?
- 5:29Speaker 5: There's a valley between a couple of these fiddlings here
- 5:32Speaker 5: that leaps out onto a sort of uh short narrow
- 5:34Speaker 5: sandbark and making the main land with the end of
- 5:36Speaker 5: the reef is down it Uh betwendo the building. It's
- 5:39Speaker 5: so hard to see in this target fair. Yes, that
- 5:42Speaker 5: must be it. We'll probably anyway. This is the gluey
- 5:49Speaker 5: place I've ever seen them.
- 5:52Speaker 7: Look the direct good good, We're headed right, Muggle, I'm
- 6:02Speaker 7: gonna stump here now.
- 6:04Speaker 5: You stay in the car, keep the doors locked. Feel
- 6:07Speaker 5: like I'm out of the house. Don't go mount I
- 6:09Speaker 5: won't muggle, but I think the shadow will pay a call.
- 6:28Speaker 3: That's awful funny.
- 6:31Speaker 8: What was that?
- 6:32Speaker 5: Who there? The shadow? The shadow? But who are you?

- 6:52Speaker 3: Yeah, this is his shortwave radio cad. He lets me
- 6:54Speaker 3: run it when he's at work nights.
- 6:56Speaker 1: If you make these records now.
- 6:58Speaker 3: You think I'm crazy? Of course not.
- 7:00Speaker 9: Well, I don't even make sense. Some dwyn fool pays
- 7:03Speaker 9: me five dollars to play 'em on the air.

- 17:49Speaker 9: crew even if the armored door is shut.
- 17:52Speaker 12: With the equipment for the control of the flying bombs,
- 17:55Speaker 12: that's right here, sir, uh huh.
- 17:56Speaker 3: He is dial with numbers up to tifty.
- 17:59Speaker 9: You just set the indicator at any one of the numbers,
- 18:01Speaker 9: and that crawls the flying bomb of that particular number
- 18:03Speaker 9: in line with the corresponding controls, so that it can
- 18:06Speaker 9: be manipulated separately. And these three dials here controls speed
- 18:10Speaker 9: direction analysis. It's perfectly simple. Is there anything more I
- 18:14Speaker 9: can show you, sir?
- 18:15Speaker 13: No?
- 18:17Speaker 8: You have been a great helpless Simmons.
- 18:20Speaker 1: What is that switch in back of us?
- 18:22Speaker 3: Huh?
- 18:22Speaker 11: All this?
- 18:23Speaker 3: Well? Actually?
- 18:24Speaker 8: Oh all right, Covin take off immediately.
- 18:27Speaker 12: As soon as you get in motion, I'll pushed the
- 18:29Speaker 12: pilot out and jump out myself and tell the God
- 18:32Speaker 12: that you are running.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Away with a ship. Sip.
- 18:35Speaker 8: There you go, now, honey, Covin, take her up.
- 18:41Speaker 5: Good luck, Covin, I'm going to dump now. Help help Not.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Well, Corbyn, your plan has worked perfectly up to now.
- 19:01Speaker 13: What who said that.
- 19:07Speaker 3: The shadow?
- 19:08Speaker 5: What?
- 19:09Speaker 3: How did you get here?
- 19:10Speaker 1: I came with you in the car from Ryan shack
- 19:12Speaker 1: On Robber's reef. You cannot escape from the shadow.
- 19:17Speaker 5: But or I killed you?
- 19:19Speaker 1: No, you only shot at my voice.
- 19:23Speaker 3: Where are you now?
- 19:25Speaker 1: I am in the shadows of a cabin in the
- 19:27Speaker 1: back of you, but I can see you well enough
- 19:29Speaker 1: to shoot you if you don't bring this plane down immediately.
- 19:33Speaker 5: Way, don't shoot her.
- 19:34Speaker 3: I'll bring you down.
- 19:35Speaker 5: We don't shoot her.
- 19:36Speaker 3: M open the door, open that door. I'll tell you, ah, well,
- 19:43Speaker 3: it's a shadow.
- 19:44Speaker 13: Let's shoot your heart cause ten perhaps you'll have the
- 19:47Speaker 13: pennants swing to say, I.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Have come with a well armor car. But bring this
- 19:54Speaker 1: plane down.
- 19:55Speaker 13: I'll bring it down alright. The three flying bombs the
- 19:58Speaker 13: ocean had miles south for the Gordon Mic where the
- 20:02Speaker 13: plane lands. You will land with it alone, or I
- 20:06Speaker 13: will leave it by parachue before it goes into its
- 20:09Speaker 13: last Partize what do you think of that is a shadow?
- 20:15Speaker 13: Why don't you speak shuttle and to hear me?
- 20:22Speaker 1: I hear you, all right, Corbin, and thanks for the
- 20:25Speaker 1: suggestion about a parachute. It was nice of you. I'm
- 20:29Speaker 1: going to leave you, corbyin but not for long. I'll
- 20:34Speaker 1: chase you to the ends of the earth. You'll never
- 20:38Speaker 1: get away.
- 20:39Speaker 5: Good Bye, Corbyn.
- 20:49Speaker 9: What's the matter with those mechanics? Can't they get that
- 20:51Speaker 9: fort chip started? Look at that plane gain altitudes?
- 20:54Speaker 4: Hey it easy, Lieutenant Limbs. Mechanics are warming it up
- 20:57Speaker 4: as fast as they can.
- 20:58Speaker 5: Uh powers your head.

- 21:09Speaker 5: Hey look look someone just nailed out of the ship.
- 21:13Speaker 3: And that's funny. The parachute's opening, but I can't see anybody.
- 21:16Speaker 4: That's the kindest thing I ever saw in my life.
- 21:19Speaker 9: Look, the number one flying bomb is diving for the parachute.
- 21:22Speaker 9: Will it explode it if it hits the parachute, wants
- 21:23Speaker 9: the firing mechanism to release, it'll go off it hits anything.
- 21:26Speaker 5: Oh my lord, he's just fits the parachute and it's diving.
- 21:30Speaker 4: It's diving straight ports up.
- 21:32Speaker 5: It's out of control. Quick, I let it all right, yeah, yeah, before.
- 21:46Speaker 4: I hate to be any close to what.
- 21:47Speaker 5: Happened to that parachute.

- 21:50Speaker 4: I still can't see anyone.
- 21:52Speaker 5: I can't stop now. I gotta take off and pour
- 21:53Speaker 5: that guy down.

- 22:11Speaker 1: Oh it's not your imagination, lieutenant, You're hearing the voice
- 22:17Speaker 1: of the shadow.
- 22:18Speaker 5: The shadow, Well, who are you?
- 22:21Speaker 3: Where are you?
- 22:22Speaker 5: How did you get here?
- 22:23Speaker 1: I am in the cuckfit right behind you. We have
- 22:25Speaker 1: no time for explanation. Lieutenant. You and I have caught
- 22:29Speaker 1: up with a gang of international spies.
- 22:31Speaker 3: Oh so that's that game.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Well, how do you know that I have been with
- 22:33Speaker 1: them all night, all of their every move. Perhaps you
- 22:36Speaker 1: saw me baid out of the stolen plane.
- 22:38Speaker 3: Yeah, and you nearly got blown the Kingdom. Come by
- 22:40Speaker 3: that flying bomb?
- 22:41Speaker 1: Too close for company? What is your first move?
- 22:44Speaker 3: Lieutenant?
- 22:44Speaker 9: Now, I'm gonna fly close to the stolen plane and
- 22:46Speaker 9: call by radio, and if that crook won't listen to reason,
- 22:49Speaker 9: i'll put him.
- 22:49Speaker 12: Now.

- 22:51Speaker 1: You're almost close enough.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Now, yeah, see that.
- 22:56Speaker 9: Look, one of the flying bombs is turning. It's heading
- 22:58Speaker 9: right for it. If you turn out of its way,
- 22:59Speaker 9: I'll try. Those things are too fast, they can turn
- 23:09Speaker 9: on a time. Look at that thing fly.
- 23:11Speaker 3: You're only chances to shoot it down.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Can you hit it?
- 23:13Speaker 3: I've got to good shooting, lieutenant, my lord.
- 23:21Speaker 5: Look that mad managed released the one remaining bombs.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Yes, tried behind us. I only chance to put this
- 23:27Speaker 1: paint into a power diet.
- 23:28Speaker 3: He goes, It's still right on our tailor. If I
- 23:37Speaker 3: could only get to that rare machine gun. I'll handle it.
- 23:39Speaker 5: You know how to use it again?
- 23:44Speaker 3: You got it?
- 23:44Speaker 5: You got it? Shat Wow, that was closed.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Oh, I think Corbyn.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Will listen to reason.
- 23:49Speaker 1: I'll call him a short waves calling plane X one,
- 23:54Speaker 1: Calling plane x one, Corbyn, that is your lasting Land
- 24:01Speaker 1: that plane.
- 24:02Speaker 5: Oh, don't shoot me does don't shoot, I'll land the plane.
- 24:05Speaker 5: Hold it, don't don't shoot.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Turn immediately and go back to the airport.
- 24:10Speaker 5: All right, all right, I trust Why.
- 24:15Speaker 3: That's a good day's work finished for you, but not
- 24:18Speaker 3: for me. What do you mean, shadow?
- 24:19Speaker 1: There are several things left undone. The Coast Guard must
- 24:22Speaker 1: be instructed to pick up a boat ten miles south
- 24:25Speaker 1: of Gordon Light as Baller's operat.
- 24:27Speaker 5: Is on board.
- 24:27Speaker 3: Oh, we can do that right now.
- 24:28Speaker 1: As soon as we see Corbet safely landed in the
- 24:31Speaker 1: hands of the gods, you must fly me to Robber's
- 24:33Speaker 1: reef Ballers headed.
- 24:35Speaker 5: Then he must be captured.
- 24:36Speaker 1: I'll call the Guard at once and have the police
- 24:38Speaker 1: totor fight to follow up.
- 24:46Speaker 5: Eh, who's there? Waa?
- 24:50Speaker 8: What do you want?
- 24:51Speaker 3: What are you doing here?
- 24:52Speaker 8: Well, I'm glad to see my little spirit have not flowed.
- 24:57Speaker 5: And now, young ladies, there it's you Christ.
- 25:00Speaker 1: I would like to ask you, as.
- 25:02Speaker 13: You loosen these ropes a little, they're cutting my arms.
- 25:05Speaker 12: In a few minutes, they won't set your arms anymore.
- 25:08Speaker 12: Nothing will set you anymore. Was there a boat or
- 25:13Speaker 12: did a plane land here?
- 25:14Speaker 5: Crane?
- 25:15Speaker 9: You couldn't land a plane on Robber's reef? Saying, mister,
- 25:19Speaker 9: when are you gonna untie me?
- 25:21Speaker 8: I'm not going to untie you. I'm going to kill
- 25:23Speaker 8: you me.
- 25:24Speaker 5: I did what you want to kill me for. I
- 25:27Speaker 5: only did what you told me.
- 25:31Speaker 8: You are the only one left, young lady. The shadow
- 25:38Speaker 8: is dead, and you.
- 25:41Speaker 5: Who's there? Who closed that door?
- 25:43Speaker 3: The shadow?
- 25:44Speaker 8: But the shadow is dead?
- 25:46Speaker 5: No ball, the shadow is nothing.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Put that gun away. I showed you once that you
- 25:51Speaker 1: could not shoot a voice.
- 25:52Speaker 8: No, but I can shoot a very lovely young lady's shadow.
- 25:56Speaker 8: And I don't think you'd care for that. I'm going
- 25:59Speaker 8: out this door and I'm going to shut it after me.
- 26:02Speaker 12: If it opens, I shoot, and if I don't hit
- 26:04Speaker 12: you said, oh, I'm going to kill this girl.
- 26:06Speaker 3: You can't the faller.
- 26:08Speaker 5: No one gets the faller. I shoot them, black dog.
- 26:15Speaker 8: I kill every one of them.
- 26:16Speaker 3: I have killed.
- 26:21Speaker 5: They got it? You, all right? Muggle? Yes, come on, yeah,
- 26:26Speaker 5: I'll cut these ropes. We have to get out of here.
- 26:29Speaker 5: Thank you, Muggle. It killed Baller. I hate to see
- 26:34Speaker 5: any man die by violence, But that man dedicates his
- 26:37Speaker 5: life with the feeble task of plotting an espionage against
- 26:42Speaker 5: a friendly country. He faces but one fate, and that
- 26:47Speaker 5: fate is justly death by violence.
- 26:58Speaker 4: But now here's John Barclay Blue Coals.
- 27:01Speaker 14: Thank you, Ken Roberts, and good afternoon everyone. I think
- 27:04Speaker 14: it's a fact that all things a man owns and operates,
- 27:07Speaker 14: he knows less about his furness.
- 27:09Speaker 5: Than anything else.
- 27:10Speaker 14: Now, the weather this time of year, as Ken Roberts
- 27:12Speaker 14: said earlier in the program, is particularly treacherous.
- 27:16Speaker 4: You've got to pay strict.
- 27:17Speaker 14: Attention to the control of your fire and your furnace
- 27:20Speaker 14: dampers to keep the house from becoming killed off are
- 27:23Speaker 14: suddenly overheated as the temperature falls and rises outside. So
- 27:28Speaker 14: if you have any question in your mind about damper control,
- 27:32Speaker 14: or if you want to be sure you're operating your
- 27:34Speaker 14: furnace from the most efficient and most economical manner, here's
- 27:37Speaker 14: what I suggest you do. Call your nearest Blue coal dealer,
- 27:42Speaker 14: ask him to send a John Barkley service man to
- 27:44Speaker 14: check up on your furnace. John Berkley men are trained
- 27:48Speaker 14: heating experts. They can show you how to get the
- 27:50Speaker 14: best possible heating results, and there's absolutely no charge or
- 27:55Speaker 14: obligation of any sort for their advice. Always feel free
- 28:00Speaker 14: to call on your Blue Coal dealer.
- 28:02Speaker 5: I thank you.
