Transcript

The shadow, Lamont Cranston, a man of wealth, a student of fire and a master of other people's minds, devotes his life to writing wrong, protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty. Using advanced methods that may ultimately become available to all law enforcement agencies, Cranston is known to the underworld as the shadow, never seen, only heard,

as haunting to superstitious minds as a ghost, as inevitable as a guilty conscience. The identity of the shadow was known only to his intimate friend and aide, Margot Link. Today's story, The Blind Beggar Dives.
