Twelve - 2/27/38 - The Plot Murder:
As this Shadow episode was set to go on the
air, they received a telegram from the American Police Review presenting the
Shadow with a Special Award.
This episode starts out at the conclusion of
a Court Marshal hearing, where Lieutenant John Wilson is accused of Treasonable
Sabotage Against the Government. Wilson is charged to have willfully destroyed
a secret device known as the ‘Flying Torpedo’. At sentencing Wilson is confused
and doesn’t understand what’s going on too well. As the sentence is read, a
loud scuffle between Wilson and the inventor of the device breaks out.
As Lamont and Margo discuss the case later
that day, they come to the conclusion that the Shadow should get involved. The
Shadow goes to visit Lt. Wilson in the city jail, and overhears the inventor
hypnotizing the accused into believing he actually committed the crime. It
turns out that this is all an evil plot by a group of terrorists to throw a
country into a state of confusion and fear. Doesn’t that sound familiar… ever
since the 911 attacks ?!
In the Blue Coal commercial, the host
mentions the harsh winter weather that families living in Watertown, NY are
facing this season.
How many times since 9/11/01 have we heard
of the sinister plots or evil attacks by terrorists? Why do these evil
terror-seeking people always seem to take out their anger on innocent people? I
wish we could know what it was that these simple-minded evildoers wanted. It is
a fact that they want something, or they wouldn’t be using terror to coerce
people. They can’t just want us (the infidel) to convert to their religion, or
the movements of terror that developed in other parts of the world would not
have existed (eg: the Shinning Path in Peru and the Red Brigade in Italy). If
we did know what they wanted, could we ever solve these problems? In an ideal
world the answer is a definite yes.
I have great hope for the One Tribe of
Humans, but when I take a closer look at people I have trouble with my belief
that one day we’ll live in paradise, and that all people will share in
abundance. More Soon . . .

Thirteen - 3/6/38 - The Bride of Death:
There’s an omen of death hanging over the
matrimony of Isabel, the daughter of Reverend Colby and his good family, in a
small fishing village. A profit, and leader of a cult, has declared that the
Rev Colby was going to die while preaching in church.
Isabel is now trapped in the house on the
cliff, and where what the people of the village suspect are devil worshipers.
Rev Colby and ten other villagers perished when the church roof collapsed in a
suspicious explosion just three days later. It’s time for the Shadow to
investigate these strange deaths.
The Shadow and the Profit of the Ancient
Ones have a confrontation. Who is the more powerful man? But we must pause for
the Blue Coal commercial.
Isabel it to be sacrificed to a deity the
cult worships. But Lamont has Margo disguise herself as the Profit to enter the
worship hall for the ritual to the Ancient One. It’s a brilliant plan to catch
the cult leaders in the evil ways.
Many times while listening, I don’t have
thoughts worthy enough or interesting enough to write about. So, until next
week, same time and same channel . . .
"As you sow evil… so shall you reap
evil.
Crime does not pay… the Shadow Knows !!"
Sooner,
Jahmahn
