• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Snow-covered Adirondack Mountains, in a tiny trapper's cabin, two men
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: lie sleeping, quietly sleeping. Suddenly, the mournful howling of frightened
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: dogs shatters the stillness of the night. One of the men, alarmed,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: rises quickly from his bunk and calls out to his horseman.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Pierre. Pierre. What? Wake up, Pierre. What is it? The dog.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Something is frightening the dog. What can it be?
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I'm going out to see. Do you wish to take
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: my gun? No, no. I won't need it. All right.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I shall put on my boots. What is wrong with
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: your dog? I will come out and join you in
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: a moment. Why are you hurrying? Can you see anything, Philippe?
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: No, that does not seem to be.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Philip!
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: Philip, what is wrong?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Help!
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: Help!
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: I'm coming, Philip. Here!
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: It's a wolf!
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: A giant wolf! The criminal is killing him.
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: Save yourself, Pierre!
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Save yourself! I must get the gun. The animal is
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: turning on me. I must get the gun. If I
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: can make the cabin.
• 2:54
  Speaker 9: I will.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: I wish we'd stayed in the village tonight.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: You mean on account of the snow?
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: No, it's just that I don't like riding through these
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: woods like this.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Why, we've done it hundreds of times, Anna.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: I know, but it's different now.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, now, you've been listening to that wolf story, haven't you? Yes,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I have. Well, now, that's a lot of nonsense.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: No, it isn't, John. Too many people have seen him.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: And what about the bodies they found? Bodies just torn
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: to pieces by a savage beast.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Now, Anna, we'll be home any minute now, and you'll be... Listen...
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: What's that? Why, just dogs howling, that's all.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: Those dogs are frightened. I can tell by the sound.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Now, Anna, stop imagining things. Get that bear boy.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: That howling is coming from somewhere behind us. All I
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: can see is dark wood.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: John! Anna, what is it? The wolf.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: He's running behind us, following the sleigh.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: It's the wolf.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Great heavens. Get that boy.
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: Get that. Faster.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: He's gaining on us.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: We're going as fast as we can.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: He's right behind us now.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Here, take the reins, Anna. I'll deal with him.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: It's the lake, Johnny.
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: Right beside us.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: He's going to leave. Ah! Look at that moon.
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's so bright, Lamont. We could almost go skiing
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: again tonight after dinner.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: We could at that. How about it, Joe? You've been
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: a guide around here for a long time. Do people
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: ever do any moonlight skiing? Well, they have in the past, Mr. Cranston, but, well,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't advise it tonight.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Why not, Joe?
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Well, it wouldn't be safe. Oh, you mean this wolf
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: scale is going around.
• 4:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Joe, I'm surprised at you. I've never heard of a
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: man who's lived in the woods all his life being
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: frightened by any animal. I'm not frightened by any animal.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Just a moment. What do you mean, Joe? This beast
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: is not an animal.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: You mean a human is responsible for all these killings?
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: A human mind is. A human mind in the body
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: of a savage wolf.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: I don't understand, Joe.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Have either of you ever heard of a werewolf? Yes, yes,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I've read about them. Werewolf is a man who possesses
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: a power to transform himself into a savage beast. That's right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I believe that the legends about them have all come
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: from Central Europe. I don't think they are legends, Mr.
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: Cranston.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I believe they are facts.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: You see... I was brought up in Central Europe.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: Now, Joe, you're not asking us to believe that we
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: have a werewolf here in the Adirondacks.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Well, you can believe what you wish. But I know
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: what has been going on. I myself have seen the animal.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Its cunning behavior, its ability to appear and disappear at will,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: its method of killing.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: There is a werewolf here. I'm sure of it. Well,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I can't argue with you, Joe. Here's your cabin, Margot. Yes.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: All right, I'll meet you at the lodge, Lamont, as
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: soon as I'm dressed.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: All right-o. See you later. All right.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: And I'll keep an eye out for the wolf, Joe.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Good old Joe, he's very nice.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: Did he leave me playing? Oh, you surprised me, Marie.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Sorry, mademoiselle.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: Would you draw a tub for me, please? Eh, mademoiselle,
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: I have already done so. Oh, good. I trust that
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: you enjoyed your skiing today? Oh, it was wonderful.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Ah!
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Will you be wearing this blue.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: Dress, ma'am, ma'am?
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: Yes, that'll be all right. Marie, do you hear those
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: dogs howling? Yes, ma'am, ma'am. Eerie sound, isn't it? They
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: are there now, like that at night, of you, ma'am, ma'am.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: I would not worry about it if I were you. Oh,
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: they don't bother me. I was just... Oh, there's someone
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: at the door. Will you see who it is, Marie, please?
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: Good evening.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: Oh, good evening, doctor.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Who is it, Marie?
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: It is Dr.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Vandell.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: He often comes here to the lodge. Oh, does he
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: want to see me?
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, if I may.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Oh, then will you come in?
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Good evening.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Good evening.
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: You're Miss Lane, I believe?
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: That's right, Doctor.
• 6:54
  Speaker 11: I saw you out skiing today. I wondered if you'd
• 6:56
  Speaker 11: sustained any cuts or bruises. That might need attention.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: No, I seem to have come through without a scratch,
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: thank you.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's fine.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Fine.
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: Happy for the rest, are you?
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: Why, yes, sort of.
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: Been tired, have you?
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Well, more in need of a change, I'd say.
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: I see.
• 7:11
  Speaker 11: Then you should not be indulging in such violent exercises.
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: You should be resting, relaxing.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: I suppose you're right.
• 7:19
  Speaker 11: This is a personal question, I know, Miss Lane. But
• 7:23
  Speaker 11: have you had any medical attention lately?
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Have I had any?
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: Not in the past six months.
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: I see.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: I see.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: Why do you ask, Doctor?
• 7:35
  Speaker 11: Young lady, you are in a very highly nervous state.
• 7:39
  Speaker 11: I make this statement freely because I specialize.
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: In such work. I suppose I should not have told
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: you this.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: No, I'm glad you did.
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: Your eyes have a strained look. They are weary. Very weary.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: Is that not so?
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: Yes. Yes.
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: Sit down, Miss Lane, please. Sit down.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Down?
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: Yes. No, this chair, please. Yes. That's it. Now just relax.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: Now think only of peace. Look at me, Miss Lane.
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: Look at me. Do you feel better now?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 8:29
  Speaker 11: I should say, Miss Lane, that you are very badly
• 8:31
  Speaker 11: in need of constant medical care for the next few days.
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: Don't you agree with that, Marie?
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: Oui, doctor.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: I do.
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: I have a small sanitarium nearby, Miss Lane. An excellent
• 8:41
  Speaker 11: place for you to rest. I suggest that you spend
• 8:44
  Speaker 11: a few days there.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Whatever you say, doctor. Fine.
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: Pack some of Miss Lane's clothes immediately, Marie. We are
• 8:51
  Speaker 11: leaving for the sanitarium at once.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Margo?
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: Margo?
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: You in there? Margo?
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: That's odd.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Better go in and see. Margo?
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: Margo?
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Well, she's not here. Has Miss Lane been here at
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: the lodge?
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: No, sir.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Are you sure?
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: I'm positive, sir.
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: I haven't seen her since this morning.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Attention. State police, attention.
• 9:33
  Speaker 11: Be on the lookout for young woman missing since 6
• 9:36
  Speaker 11: o'clock this evening.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: She is 5 feet 5 inches.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Tall, weight 118. It's been 24 hours now. 24 hours
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: without any word. Yes, I know. Looks bad. Oh, excuse me.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: Huh?
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: What? Oh, I'll send him right in.
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: Where?
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: What is it?
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: A man outside who claims to have seen someone just
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: an hour ago who resembled.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: A missing girl. Where? Where did he see her? Well,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know yet.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: Send for me, Sarge.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's you, Jennifer. Come in.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: This fellow's a local farmer.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Where did you see the girl? Right near my house.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I've seen her.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Just an hour ago. And where is she now?
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Good heavens, man, don't you realize that half the police
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: in the state were looking for her?
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Sure, but I didn't have no chance to get near her.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: What are you talking about? It won't do any good, Mr.
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: Cranston, to rush this guy. Tell us what happened, Jennifer.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Well, I was home, like I said. All of a sudden,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: my dog started howling. He was yelling so bad, I
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: got the idea maybe there was someone prowling around the livestock.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: So you went out to investigate? Yeah. And then what happened?
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Well, first I looked around. Couldn't see nothing. Then all
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: at once I spotted somebody down in the lower field.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: It was a girl. A young, tall brunette?
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know whether she was a brunette or not.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: She was wearing a white ski suit.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: That was Margo, all right.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Running through the field in the moonlight. Running real fast,
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: she was. And at her side was what appeared to
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: be a giant gray dog-like.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Did you call out to her?
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Didn't have no chance. Before I could even say anything,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: she disappeared over the side of the hill.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Sergeant, there's no time to lose. We must go to
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: this man's farmhouse at once.
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: But now, back to Death Growls at Night.
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: Death Growls at Night.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: I'll take a squad up the other side of the hill, Mr. Cranston.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: We can all meet back here at the farm. All right, Sergeant.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: All right, come along, men. Come on over this way here, boys. Mr.
• 11:51
  Speaker 10: Jennifer.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah? When you first saw the girl, which direction was
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: she coming from? Back yonder. Are there any other farms
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: back there?
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: Not for a good many miles. Oh, I see.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: In fact, outside of Dr.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Van Dane Sanitarium, there ain't another place in that direction.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Dr. Van Dane Sanitarium? Huh? Now, where is that? About
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: a mile up the road. In the same direction? Yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Who is Dr. Van Dane?
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: You must have seen him around the lodge. He's up
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: there quite a bit.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, I see. That's very interesting. Could you lead me
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: to the sanitarium of his? Sure. Sure.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: When would you want to go?
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Right now, Mr. Jennifer. Right now.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Well, there's the sanitarium right ahead, Mr.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Cranston. Thank you.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: If you don't mind, I won't go no further with you.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: The doctor don't like visitors much.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: All right, Jennifer. I'm grateful to you for your help.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: That's all right. Goodbye for now. Goodbye.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, Mr. Cranston.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Be careful.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Yes. Yes. Excellent advice, Mr.
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: Jennifer.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Excellent advice. Yes? I'd like to... Say, aren't you Marie,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Miss Lane's maid?
• 13:14
  Speaker 10: Thanks.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Oui, monsieur.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Where is she? Where is Margot?
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: I do not know.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Don't lie to me. Where is Miss Lane?
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: Is that you, Lamont?
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Margot! Let me in. Please, monsieur. Margot, where are you?
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: Right in here, Lamont.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, darling. Darling, you're all right. You're all right.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: Of course I am. Why are you so upset?
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Why am I upset? With half the countryside searching for you,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: not knowing if you're alive or dead?
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: You had searching parties out for me?
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: But of course.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: That was silly of you.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Silly of me?
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Margot, don't you understand? I... I was alarmed about you,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: why you had disappeared and where. Tell me, what are
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: you doing in this place?
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: I've come here for a rest, that's all.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: A rest? Yes.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: Yes, is there anything wrong in that?
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: No, but.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: Well, then stop behaving like a schoolboy.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Margot.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Leave me alone, will you?
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Margot, just tell me this. Why did you leave the
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: lodge as you did without telling me where you were going?
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: I didn't think it necessary to tell you.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Well, how did you meet Dr. Van Dane?
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: He came to my cabin at the lodge.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: You've never seen him before?
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: No.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Well, how did you know it was safe to come
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: here to this place?
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: Because I trusted him. He's a very fine old gentleman.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Oh. Well, where is he now?
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Margot, you were seen several hours ago running through the
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: nearby field. Why were you out like that in the
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: dead of night? Answer me, Margot.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: Lamont, will you please leave me alone? I refuse to
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: answer any more of your stupid questions.
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: Very well.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Then I shall seek my information elsewhere. I'm going to
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: investigate the other people who live within these walls. I
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: shall visit them as the shadow.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: Only I could get to sleep.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Sorry to disturb your slumber, Marie.
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: Oh, who is there?
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Don't be alarmed, Marie. I've chosen to make myself invisible
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: to your eyes.
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: Who are you?
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I am called the Shadow.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: What are you doing here? Why have you come to
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: see me?
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: I am seeking information from you, Marie. Information about Dr.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Van Dyne.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: What about him?
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Where is he now? Do you know? No.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: He has gone out.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: At this time of night? Where did he go?
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: I do not know.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Don't you think it odd that he should choose this
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: hour to be out in this mountain wilderness?
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: I do not question the doctor said it.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: You came here last night with Miss Lane, did you not?
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: Oui, monsieur.
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Why was she brought here? How did he persuade her
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: to come?
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: He did not persuade her. She can have her own
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: free will.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: You've known Dr. Van Dane before, haven't you? Answer my question.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Oui, monsieur.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: For how long? How long have you known him?
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: What difference does that make?
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: It makes a great deal of difference. I suspect very strongly, Marie,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: that you aided him in bringing Miss Lane here.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: She came here willingly, I tell you. She needed a rest.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Are you trying to make me believe that she chose
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: to come to a sanitarium where she is the only patient? No.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I've just determined that fact by searching the building.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: I know nothing about that.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: But you do know something about Dr. Van Dane, more
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: than you're willing to tell me. No. Well, I shall
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: continue to question you until you do. No. Now leave
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: me alone, please. Where did he come from? What is
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: his background, his place of birth?
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: He was born in Europe. That is all I know.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: In Central Europe?
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: Oui, I believe so.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: That's most revealing. Does Dr. Van Dane often indulge in
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: nocturnal palling?
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: I do not know.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: You do know, but you're afraid to tell me.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, please, please, monsieur.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Do not ask me any more questions. How does Dr.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Van Dane feel about dogs? Does he have any around
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: the house?
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: No, he hates dogs.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Then how do you account for the fact that Miss
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Lane was seen several hours ago running through the fields
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: with what appeared to be a giant beast?
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: I do not know what you are talking about.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, you do. You also realize the significance of the
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: appearance of Miss Lane with that huge dog and cannibal,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: don't you? No. No, I don't know. Just as I suspect.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: What's this mean? But the thought is too horrible for
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: you to voice, isn't it?
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Stop torturing me.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: You're being very foolish, Marie. By your very silence, you're
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: bringing about your doom.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: What do you mean, Monsieur?
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Don't you see what is happening? Your place is being taken.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Already you've been supplanted by Miss Lane. No, mister. When Dr.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Van Dane has no further use for you, you know
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: what that can mean, don't you?
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Then you must do something about it. You must act quickly.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: What is there to do?
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: I am getting that young woman out of here at once. Meantime,
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: you can call the police. If you tell them everything,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: everything you know about Dr. Van Dane, there is still
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: a chance for your salvation. What?
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: That is my only chance?
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Your only chance. But you must do this.
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: At once.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: Well, Lamont, did you succeed in getting the information you wanted?
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: I did talk to Marie.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Are you satisfied now that this is a perfectly safe
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: place for me to be?
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Quite the contrary, Margot. I'm taking you out of here
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: at once.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Lamont, what are you saying?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: I found out something about Dr. Van Dane. If it's
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: true as I think it is... Your life is in
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: danger every moment that you're here.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: Lamont, you can be so melodramatic.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Margo, I'm giving you cold, hard facts. Do you remember
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: the conversation that we had with Joe, our guide, about
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: the people who'd been killed by a giant wolf?
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Do you remember his believing that the animal was really
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: a human being?
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, you mean that werewolf story?
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: Lamont, are you trying to tell me that there may
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: be something to that story?
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Yes, perhaps.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: Oh, fantastic. You're just making up a story in order
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: to get me out.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: I'm not making up a story, Margot. Oh, no. What's
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: the matter, Margot?
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: You're trembling.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: Those dogs. Why don't they stop their howling?
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Margot, why should their howling bother you? I don't know.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: I just hate the sound of dogs, these dogs.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: Why don't they stop?
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Margot, I don't know what's happened to you, but this
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: thing is part of it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: What are you talking about?
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: This, this pair of dogs.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: Oh, those dogs, no.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: You've never felt that way before. Oh, you sense it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Then your irritation at my being here and your nervous behavior,
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: the way you're facing the room right now.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: I've got to get out. I've got to get out.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: I'm taking you out, Margot. Oh, no.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Now I'm so alone.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: Margot, listen to me.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: We're leaving here together.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, no, we're not. You have no right to tell
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: me what to do.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Margot. You're coming with me. Even if I
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: had to carry you out here.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: You dare leave a hand on me? I'll... Oh, I'm sorry, Lamar.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: I lost my head, I guess. I didn't know what
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: I was doing. Of course I'll come with you. Come
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: right now.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's better. Thank you, Margo.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: Will you get my coat, please, in that closet?
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: I don't see them in here, Margo. Are you sure
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: they're in there? Paolo!
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Paolo, let me out of here!
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: Next time you'll know enough to let me have my way!
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Paolo!
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: Goodbye, Lamont!
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Paolo!
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: I must find the doctor. I must let him know
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: that I'm free!
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: Looking for me, Miss Lane?
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'm so glad that you're here, Dr. Van Dyne.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: I was worried about you.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: Yes, I heard the howling of dogs. Afraid that you
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: might have been in trouble.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: You need never fear for me. I am too clever
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: for them. Much too clever.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Doctor, you seem upset. What's wrong?
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: I just had the most unfortunate experience. Someone I trusted
• 20:42
  Speaker 11: proved herself disloyal.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: Marie?
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: She was about to telephone the police. About to betray me.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: I see. She will never make the call?
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Never. But come.
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: We have things to do, young lady. The night is short.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: Time is precious.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Come. Come.
• 21:01
  Speaker 11: You have a mission to perform. Tell me, did you
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: enjoy the sense of freedom that you found earlier this evening,
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: running through the open fields?
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Yes, I did.
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: I am pleased. You are progressing rapidly.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: I shall always follow you, Mr.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Hudson. Excellent.
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: You are most obedient. Come now. We are setting forth
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: on our first great adventure. The supreme adventure. Before the
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: night is.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Over, you shall have learned to kill. I am ready.
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: Very well.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Come with me. Who is that? One moment, Dr.
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: Mundane.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: The shadow.
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: Who spoke? I see no one.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: The young lady knows who I am, doctor. Yes.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Yes, it is the shadow.
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: Young woman, do you know this unseen voice?
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Why is he here?
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: How did he find her?
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: I can answer that for you, Dr. Van Dane. I
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: am here to save this young woman from your evil power.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: I do not know what you're talking about.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: I don't wish to be saved. Leave me alone.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I am aware of what you've done to this girl, doctor.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: You've influenced her mind, robbed her of her power to
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: think for herself. By some form of hypnosis, you've gained
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: control of her every thought.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: That's not true.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: Did you hear that, shadow?
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: She herself denies this.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: She denies it because you've willed her to do so.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: But I'm going to break this hold you have on her. No. No. I, too,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: possess the secret of hypnosis. And I believe that my
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: power is greater than yours, Doctor. Just as the power
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: of good is always greater than the power of evil.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: Leave me alone. Make him leave me alone.
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: I am warning you, Shadow.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Do not meddle in my affairs. You can't frighten me.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Not when I know as much about you as I do. What?
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: What do you know about me?
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: That you are the one who is responsible for the savage,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: brutal killings in this neighborhood. That you have committed these
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: crimes in the guise of a wolf.
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: You mean I have transformed myself into an animal?
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: That is preposterous.
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: You are going back to medieval superstition, to the legend
• 23:06
  Speaker 11: of the werewolf.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: It's possible you might possess that power, Doctor. How dare
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: you say such a thing? Margot, listen to me. No, no.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: I am using all the power that I possess to
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: reach into your mind. Feel it. Feel that power. Let
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: my thoughts link with yours. Let them join together and
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: drive out all evil.
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: Remain firm, young lady.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Do not listen to his lies.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: I'm trying, doctor. I'm trying.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Concentrate on one thing and one thing only, Margot. The
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: thought that I'm sending to you. Grasp it. Hold it
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: in your mind. Drive it from your mind, young lady.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: Please, please, both of you. I can't think.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: It will come through, Margot. thought will come through. Where
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: are those dogs? They are looking for you, doctor. They
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: belong to the police. That frightens you, doesn't it? You
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: are not able to concentrate now.
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: Oh, please. Please, doctor.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Her way is clear now, Margot. You can receive my
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: thoughts alone. You're coming back to me. You're coming back
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: to me. Yes.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: The boss. The boss.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: There, Dr.
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: Van Damme.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: The boss. Your spell is broken now.
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: They're coming near us.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, sure. The police will be here. Someone's in the way.
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: They will never get me.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: You're staying here. Oh, no. Oh, no. Come back here, Dr.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: Van Damme.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: They'll never get me.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: Did you say I was in his power, Lamont, for
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: all that time?
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, Margo.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: Then we must find him. We must. What was that?
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know. That sound came from the trees here.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Come on, Margo. Oh, is that you, Kelly? No, it's me,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Officer Lamont Cranston. Oh, Mr. Cranston. Hey, you found the girl. Yes.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Good work. What were those shots? What were you firing at?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: This big fellow here.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: Lamont, it's a wolf. A huge, gray wolf.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: Yes. Is he dead, Officer? Yes, sir. Plenty dead.
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: Well, I guess that's the end of the wolf that's
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: been killing people around here.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, the end of the wolf. And it may also
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: be the end of Dr.
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: Van Dane.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: The Shadow's Death Prowls at Night concludes our visit to
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Mutual's Blue Coal-sponsored run this evening.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Good night.
