What happens
Professor Klemm, a chemist at Windward College, is angered after his teaching post is ended by the faculty, and he plans a deadly act during the graduation ceremony in the chapel. His former student Bragg is pulled into the plot, and his friend Margot grows alarmed as Klemm keeps Bragg under his control. Klemm's servant Anton carries out his orders, and Bragg is locked in a room while Klemm proceeds with his scheme. Bragg tries to resist, and the story turns on whether he can escape or stop the professor in time. This is an episode of The Shadow, from The Mercury Theatre on the Air, first broadcast on September 4, 1938.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
