1
00:00:04.150 --> 00:00:05.710
The Shadow knows.
2
00:00:15.259 --> 00:00:19.699
Again, blue coal dealers present radio's strangest adventurer, The Shadow.
3
00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:23.949
Mystery man who strikes terror into the very hearts of shopsters, lawbreakers,
4
00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:24.489
and criminals.
5
00:00:25.289 --> 00:00:25.609
Today.
6
00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:30.100
Blue Coal brings you the Shadow's latest adventure, The Plot Murder.
7
00:00:33.969 --> 00:00:37.509
In just a moment, the Shadow's exciting adventure will begin. Meanwhile,
8
00:00:37.549 --> 00:00:40.649
I have something important to tell all you homeowners. During
9
00:00:40.670 --> 00:00:44.009
this treacherous winter season, you can protect your family's health
10
00:00:44.090 --> 00:00:48.329
by burning blue coal. For blue coal's harmless blue coloring
11
00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:53.229
is your guarantee of clean, uniform, healthful heat all winter long.
12
00:00:53.929 --> 00:00:55.090
Blue coal saves.
13
00:00:54.890 --> 00:00:55.570
You money, too.
14
00:00:56.140 --> 00:01:00.549
For it burns steadily, completely, down to a fine, powdery ash.
15
00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:03.890
So next time you are buying fuel, ask for Blue
16
00:01:03.969 --> 00:01:08.709
Coal by name. It's Pennsylvania's finest anthracite. Order a trial
17
00:01:08.769 --> 00:01:17.750
ton from your nearest Blue Coal dealer tomorrow. An important announcement.
18
00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:20.590
Just before going on the air with today's adventure of
19
00:01:20.629 --> 00:01:23.969
the shadows, we received a telegram from the American Police Review.
20
00:01:24.609 --> 00:01:27.879
presenting The Shadow with a special award. Be sure to
21
00:01:27.900 --> 00:01:31.060
hear this official presentation at the close of this program.
22
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:36.519
And now, Blue Cole presents The Shadow in The Plot Murder.
23
00:01:45.939 --> 00:01:51.760
Captain Hines, read the findings of this court-martial.
24
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.420
We find the accused, Lieutenant John.
25
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.079
Wilson, guilty of treasonable sabotage against the government.
26
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:57.280
No!
27
00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:00.560
In that he willfully destroyed a secret device known as
28
00:02:00.609 --> 00:02:05.870
the flying torpedo, invented by one George Arcalis and acquired exclusively.
29
00:02:05.349 --> 00:02:06.250
For use by the government.
30
00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:09.409
Has the prisoner anything to say before sentence is pronounced?
31
00:02:10.289 --> 00:02:10.490
Yes.
32
00:02:11.590 --> 00:02:12.849
Yes, but what can he say?
33
00:02:13.169 --> 00:02:14.889
He admits he broke the mechanism.
34
00:02:14.509 --> 00:02:15.870
On the demonstration torpedo.
35
00:02:15.889 --> 00:02:17.240
Quiet, please, Professor Arcalis.
36
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.120
As the inventor, we understand your concern in this matter.
37
00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:21.460
But please don't interrupt us.
38
00:02:22.650 --> 00:02:26.379
Well, Lieutenant Wilson, I.
39
00:02:26.810 --> 00:02:30.300
I don't know, sir. I can hear all that's going on,
40
00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:31.439
but I.
41
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:33.319
I went into the.
42
00:02:33.340 --> 00:02:37.120
It's obvious, General Leavitt, that Lieutenant Wilson is not mentally accountable.
43
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.819
He was sufficiently accountable to enter the testing shed by
44
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.430
virtue of his authority as an army lieutenant and to
45
00:02:42.490 --> 00:02:45.009
tamper with the flying torpedo and render it useless the
46
00:02:45.030 --> 00:02:46.650
very day it was to be demonstrated to the government.
47
00:02:47.710 --> 00:02:50.129
Read the sentence of the court. Lieutenant Wilson.
48
00:02:50.979 --> 00:02:53.569
This court decides, subject to the approval of the president,
49
00:02:54.069 --> 00:02:56.370
that you'll be dishonorably discharged from the service of your
50
00:02:56.409 --> 00:02:58.849
country and sentenced to imprisonment.
51
00:02:58.310 --> 00:02:59.189
For the term of that.
52
00:02:59.389 --> 00:02:59.650
No!
53
00:02:59.669 --> 00:02:59.729
No!
54
00:02:59.729 --> 00:02:59.990
Look out!
55
00:03:00.009 --> 00:03:00.610
He's got a revolver!
56
00:03:00.650 --> 00:03:01.069
Don't shoot!
57
00:03:01.150 --> 00:03:02.810
That's the man, Professor Arcalus!
58
00:03:03.930 --> 00:03:05.270
He's wounded, Professor Arcalus!
59
00:03:05.349 --> 00:03:05.849
All is out there.
60
00:03:05.889 --> 00:03:07.069
Take Lieutenant Wilson back to his cell.
61
00:03:16.949 --> 00:03:19.270
Lamont Cranston, I tell you, John Wilson can't be guilty.
62
00:03:19.289 --> 00:03:20.110
He just can't.
63
00:03:20.270 --> 00:03:21.009
Why not, Margaret?
64
00:03:21.030 --> 00:03:23.889
After all, traitorous army officers are not unknown to history.
65
00:03:24.009 --> 00:03:26.030
Yes, but the peculiar way John Wilson talked on the
66
00:03:26.069 --> 00:03:29.129
stand makes me think there's something strange about the whole thing.
67
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.520
He acted, well, almost like a man in a trance. Lamont,
68
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.960
just what is this flying torpedo he's supposed to have
69
00:03:35.979 --> 00:03:36.520
tampered with?
70
00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:39.599
It's what its name implies, a sort of aerial torpedo
71
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.979
filled with high explosive flying under its own power. Once
72
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.740
it's launched into the air, instead of flying a predetermined course,
73
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.340
its direction can be guided by radio beams from an
74
00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:50.370
observation plane flying high above it.
75
00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:50.840
I see.
76
00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:55.030
Imagine its tremendous effectiveness in warfare, deadly accuracy, and hitting
77
00:03:55.069 --> 00:03:57.689
even a fast-moving target like a troop train or a
78
00:03:57.710 --> 00:03:58.289
supply ship.
79
00:03:58.349 --> 00:04:00.300
Sounds tremendously important. Who invented it?
80
00:04:00.389 --> 00:04:03.129
This man, Archelis, who demonstrated it last week at the
81
00:04:03.169 --> 00:04:06.550
proving grounds before a large delegation from the Capitol. Besides
82
00:04:06.590 --> 00:04:08.569
being members of the War Department, a great many high
83
00:04:08.610 --> 00:04:09.909
officials in other branches.
84
00:04:09.650 --> 00:04:11.240
Of the government were to attend the test.
85
00:04:11.310 --> 00:04:11.560
Well.
86
00:04:12.030 --> 00:04:14.629
Since your friend Wilson gained access to the laboratory and
87
00:04:14.669 --> 00:04:17.779
put the flying torpedo out of commission, the test has
88
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.180
been postponed until tomorrow.
89
00:04:19.259 --> 00:04:20.939
And who is Arcalus? Where did he come from?
90
00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:23.699
He's famous for an inventor. He's quite a reputation broad.
91
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.779
Lamont, you don't suppose it's possible Arcalus has the boy
92
00:04:26.819 --> 00:04:28.360
under some strong mental influence?
93
00:04:28.379 --> 00:04:28.939
It's possible.
94
00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:32.170
They've got Wilson temporarily in the city jail. Won't you
95
00:04:32.189 --> 00:04:33.750
call on him as the shadow?
96
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.189
Margo, do you honestly think that this case warrants my
97
00:04:37.230 --> 00:04:38.250
attention as a shadow?
98
00:04:38.329 --> 00:04:40.610
Lamont, I don't ask many favors, but I have a
99
00:04:40.629 --> 00:04:42.170
feeling John Wilson is innocent.
100
00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:45.069
All right, Margo. You're really serious.
101
00:04:46.420 --> 00:04:49.939
The shadow will pay a call on John Wilson in
102
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:50.939
the city jail.
103
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.800
Lieutenant Wilson is in that last.
104
00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:10.779
Cell, Professor Arcalus.
105
00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:15.360
Thank you, guard. This passport General Leavitt gave me. Do
106
00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:16.889
you take it or do I keep it?
107
00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:18.920
You better keep it, sir, in case you.
108
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:19.579
Want to use it again.
109
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.439
Yes, that's right. You'll have to talk to.
110
00:05:22.370 --> 00:05:23.649
Wilson through the bars.
111
00:05:23.970 --> 00:05:25.230
No one's allowed in his cell.
112
00:05:25.410 --> 00:05:25.790
Thank you.
113
00:05:25.810 --> 00:05:28.579
I have no desire to go in. They already have
114
00:05:28.699 --> 00:05:30.639
one arm in his sling due to the young man's temper.
115
00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:33.319
There's only one or two questions I want to ask him,
116
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:33.980
then I'll leave.
117
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:34.740
I will.
118
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.220
Well? Who is this?
119
00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:45.180
You! I can't... Don't get excited, Lieutenant Wilson.
120
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.980
I only came to tell you that you're a much
121
00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:52.490
better mechanic than a marksman. Your bullet only injured my arm.
122
00:05:52.670 --> 00:05:55.050
I'm only sorry I didn't... Didn't.
123
00:05:55.149 --> 00:05:55.550
Kill me?
124
00:05:56.810 --> 00:05:58.649
The only way you can break the spell I have.
125
00:05:58.589 --> 00:06:00.879
Over you, isn't it? To kill me.
126
00:06:01.649 --> 00:06:02.759
Will somebody stop?
127
00:06:04.779 --> 00:06:06.379
Look in my eyes. No.
128
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.300
Look. No, I won't.
129
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.060
John Wilson, look in my eyes.
130
00:06:11.339 --> 00:06:11.560
No.
131
00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:14.800
Look in my eyes, Wilson.
132
00:06:16.139 --> 00:06:24.470
That's right. Now repeat after me. I destroyed the torpedoes.
133
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.560
I destroyed the torpedo.
134
00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:31.399
Say it. I.
135
00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:36.639
I destroyed the torpedo.
136
00:06:37.579 --> 00:06:40.529
Sabotage against my country.
137
00:06:41.829 --> 00:06:46.189
Sabotage against my country.
138
00:06:47.689 --> 00:06:53.250
I am guilty. I am guilty.
139
00:06:54.540 --> 00:07:00.699
Then that is all you remember. Are you sure that's
140
00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:05.160
all he remembers, Professor Arcalus? Who said that?
141
00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:07.680
Guard, you are there?
142
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.639
No, not the guard, Professor. He's waiting at the end
143
00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:12.300
of the passage.
144
00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:13.500
Are you hiding somewhere?
145
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.439
In the next cell, perhaps? No, I am here. In
146
00:07:17.459 --> 00:07:23.639
the shadows, Professor Arcalus. Perhaps you've heard of me. Who
147
00:07:23.740 --> 00:07:27.220
are you? shadow. The shadow?
148
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:28.000
Help me.
149
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:34.050
Help me. I am your friend, John Wilson. Think now. Concentrate.
150
00:07:35.370 --> 00:07:36.769
What is it you're trying to remember?
151
00:07:38.629 --> 00:07:39.470
It's that torpedo.
152
00:07:40.649 --> 00:07:46.870
Dangerous. Wilson, be quiet. Steady now. Think. Think. You can
153
00:07:46.910 --> 00:07:47.949
break through this spell.
154
00:07:49.850 --> 00:07:51.009
I tried to make them understand.
155
00:07:51.029 --> 00:07:51.189
Stop.
156
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.019
I destroyed the torpedo because of you.
157
00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:55.129
I command you to stop.
158
00:07:55.170 --> 00:08:00.209
John, your friends believe in you. They're trying to help you.
159
00:08:00.709 --> 00:08:03.990
Wilson, what have you committed?
160
00:08:04.009 --> 00:08:05.629
I will.
161
00:08:07.170 --> 00:08:11.060
Sabotage again my country.
162
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.360
I am guilty. I am guilty.
163
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:19.500
Oh, Mr.
164
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:23.990
Shadow, whoever you are, You'll see.
165
00:08:24.189 --> 00:08:27.930
You have a powerful spell over the boy, Professor. But
166
00:08:27.990 --> 00:08:30.930
there is a way to break it. What way, Shadow?
167
00:08:31.149 --> 00:08:35.529
If you don't know, I have no intention of telling you... yet.
168
00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:50.860
Margo Lane. Margo Lane, stand by. Arcalis has put Wilson
169
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.649
under some strong mental influence, a sort of... Hypnotic telepathy.
170
00:08:55.389 --> 00:08:58.629
The voice of conscience is dominated by the thoughts Arcalus
171
00:08:58.690 --> 00:09:02.470
puts there. We must weaken Arcalus' hold on Wilson's mind
172
00:09:03.289 --> 00:09:05.009
so we can find out if he's guilty or not.
173
00:09:05.909 --> 00:09:07.090
Stand ready for another call.
174
00:09:07.750 --> 00:09:10.149
Tonight I'm going to pay a surprise visit to Professor
175
00:09:10.250 --> 00:09:13.330
Arcalus at his hotel. I have a feeling that if
176
00:09:13.350 --> 00:09:17.110
we're not successful in getting Wilson to talk, this country
177
00:09:17.129 --> 00:09:28.340
of ours may suffer a terrible disaster. Fire up.
178
00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:32.860
Lock the door. All right. Did anyone follow you here
179
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.659
to the hotel? No. No one, Professor Arkelius.
180
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:36.039
Good.
181
00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:38.259
The test will take place tomorrow?
182
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:39.519
Yes, at three o'clock.
183
00:09:39.950 --> 00:09:43.070
The War Department is so convinced your invention will render
184
00:09:43.149 --> 00:09:46.490
any nation possessing an invincible that the high command of
185
00:09:46.529 --> 00:09:48.690
both the Army and Navy are to be.
186
00:09:48.570 --> 00:09:51.169
There to witness the test. The President, too?
187
00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:51.669
Yes.
188
00:09:51.990 --> 00:09:55.750
The President and the Vice President expect to attend. together
189
00:09:55.789 --> 00:09:59.129
with the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy.
190
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.320
They've fallen into my trap. They'll be blown off the
191
00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:05.240
face of the earth just as I planned. I'll have
192
00:10:05.259 --> 00:10:07.460
to show you make a final inspection before the torpedo
193
00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:09.710
is taken out to the ground and see that the
194
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:10.909
steering mechanism is set.
195
00:10:11.009 --> 00:10:11.610
I understand.
196
00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:14.070
But since I am your chief assistant, they might ask
197
00:10:14.129 --> 00:10:15.029
me to go along with them.
198
00:10:15.070 --> 00:10:16.070
No, they won't. I'll fix them.
199
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:21.200
Their bungling army mechanics think they understand the flying torpedo perfectly.
200
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.559
So to satisfy their pride, I've let them take complete
201
00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:25.620
charge of the demonstration.
202
00:10:25.659 --> 00:10:25.940
Good.
203
00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:28.490
Don't worry about us. And afterwards.
204
00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:31.190
Afterwards, with the guiding brains of the nation wiped out
205
00:10:31.250 --> 00:10:35.149
at a single stroke, the country will be thrown into confusion, disorganized.
206
00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:37.450
So we have nothing to fear.
207
00:10:37.549 --> 00:10:38.009
I see.
208
00:10:38.590 --> 00:10:40.190
There are only two things that.
209
00:10:40.110 --> 00:10:41.289
Bother me slightly, though.
210
00:10:42.509 --> 00:10:43.740
Lieutenant Wilson, for one.
211
00:10:43.830 --> 00:10:44.309
Wilson!
212
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.559
Did he really discover the secret trick of the steering mechanism?
213
00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:49.440
Yes, he knows what we intend to do and how
214
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:50.200
we intend.
215
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.200
To do it.
216
00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:51.799
You should have disposed of him at once.
217
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:52.539
I thought of that.
218
00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:57.220
I was afraid it would arouse suspicion. But I'm keeping
219
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.480
Wilson under mental hypnotic control until it's too late for
220
00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:01.179
him to stop us.
221
00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:03.179
Wouldn't it be better if he were dead?
222
00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:06.519
Perhaps. I can still visit him at the prison.
223
00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:09.539
And what is the other thing that bothers you, Professor?
224
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.100
Only a shadow, Barov.
225
00:11:12.409 --> 00:11:14.529
I'm not quite sure of the extent of its power.
226
00:11:14.570 --> 00:11:15.149
A shadow?
227
00:11:15.370 --> 00:11:15.950
Don't worry.
228
00:11:15.990 --> 00:11:17.190
I think I can take care.
229
00:11:17.009 --> 00:11:17.450
Of it, too.
230
00:11:17.470 --> 00:11:18.870
Listen.
231
00:11:19.049 --> 00:11:19.379
What is it?
232
00:11:19.570 --> 00:11:21.049
I thought I heard footsteps outside in the hall.
233
00:11:21.509 --> 00:11:29.080
Go and look. There's no one here. The hall is empty.
234
00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:30.500
Must be my nerves.
235
00:11:31.860 --> 00:11:33.460
I'll be glad when this is all over.
236
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.159
Our escape is taken care of?
237
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.740
Yes, the freighter will be waiting for us at South Pier.
238
00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:40.629
But go now, Carl. And success to you.
239
00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:52.799
Good night, Professor. Good night, Barlow. The shadow.
240
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.039
If I can't put my willpower against the shadow, then
241
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:02.370
I deserve to lose. And I've never yet.
242
00:12:04.230 --> 00:12:05.809
Good evening, Professor Arcalus.
243
00:12:06.230 --> 00:12:06.509
You.
244
00:12:07.590 --> 00:12:08.370
Shadow, you've come?
245
00:12:08.429 --> 00:12:12.580
Yes, Professor. Why do you hold Lieutenant Wilson in a
246
00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:14.019
hypnotic spell, Professor?
247
00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:17.179
I don't know what you're talking about, Shadow.
248
00:12:17.210 --> 00:12:20.350
We shall see. And now I have something else to
249
00:12:20.409 --> 00:12:20.789
tell you.
250
00:12:21.110 --> 00:12:21.389
What?
251
00:12:22.269 --> 00:12:25.889
Wilson knows something about you, Professor. And I'm going to
252
00:12:25.929 --> 00:12:28.049
find out what it is. All right, Shadow.
253
00:12:28.629 --> 00:12:30.840
You know a little, but you'll never learn more from Wilson.
254
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.360
No one can break the spell. Not you, nor all
255
00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:34.559
your childish magic.
256
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.759
You'll forget. Greater magic, Archelous. What?
257
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:40.559
Death.
258
00:12:42.590 --> 00:12:46.789
Death? Yes, it's on the way, Professor. But I can
259
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.179
promise you this, if any blood is shed, it will
260
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.820
be yours, not the Shadow's.
261
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.759
The second part of the Shadow's adventure will continue in
262
00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:08.080
just a moment. Meanwhile, here's some interesting information. Every day,
263
00:13:08.110 --> 00:13:11.179
more and more families throughout this area... are saving money
264
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.259
on their heating and cooking bills. These families are getting
265
00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:18.440
better and more economical heat than ever before with blue coal.
266
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.830
Blue coal is anthracite. It is an American product mined
267
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.000
by the Glen Alden Coal Company, who are deeply grateful
268
00:13:26.070 --> 00:13:28.590
for the purchases of blue coal by families.
269
00:13:28.230 --> 00:13:29.169
Throughout this area.
270
00:13:29.830 --> 00:13:33.230
Today, blue coal is the largest selling brand of home
271
00:13:33.289 --> 00:13:37.029
fuel in America. because it is the only fuel that
272
00:13:37.110 --> 00:13:41.529
so satisfactorily combines all of the essentials necessary for perfect
273
00:13:41.590 --> 00:13:46.110
heating results. It is superior in quality, cleaner than most fuels,
274
00:13:46.509 --> 00:13:50.870
and economical, because it burns long and steadily down to
275
00:13:50.909 --> 00:13:54.740
a fine powdery ash. Furthermore, there can be no substitution
276
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:57.899
when ordering blue coal, because it is the only solid
277
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:01.700
fuel actually trademarked with a blue tint, so that you
278
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.970
can identify it at a glance. These are a few
279
00:14:05.029 --> 00:14:08.379
reasons why in Watertown, New York, blue coal sales this
280
00:14:08.409 --> 00:14:12.159
winter show a 29% increase over the same period a
281
00:14:12.220 --> 00:14:15.879
year ago. So take a tip from Watertown, New York family.
282
00:14:16.659 --> 00:14:19.960
Order blue coal by name. You will find the name
283
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.899
of your nearest blue coal dealer listed in the where
284
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.710
to buy it section of your classified telephone directory under
285
00:14:26.750 --> 00:14:28.710
the name blue coal.
286
00:14:37.139 --> 00:14:40.009
But I tell you, General Levitt... Excuse me, Constable.
287
00:14:40.070 --> 00:14:40.929
Go right ahead, General.
288
00:14:41.470 --> 00:14:44.889
Hello. General Levitt speaking. Oh, yes.
289
00:14:44.929 --> 00:14:45.809
Good morning, Captain Hines.
290
00:14:46.649 --> 00:14:47.169
That's fine.
291
00:14:47.870 --> 00:14:51.009
You have the flying torpedo loaded and ready.
292
00:14:50.870 --> 00:14:51.529
For the demonstration?
293
00:14:52.269 --> 00:14:52.490
Good.
294
00:14:53.330 --> 00:14:54.129
I'll expect a report.
295
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:55.809
Sorry I can't be with you.
296
00:14:55.820 --> 00:14:56.899
Good night. Good night.
297
00:14:58.450 --> 00:15:01.429
Now, Cranston, to get back to this Lieutenant Wilson, I
298
00:15:01.470 --> 00:15:02.210
don't see what I can do.
299
00:15:02.230 --> 00:15:04.090
But there may be some desperate plot at the bottom
300
00:15:04.110 --> 00:15:06.350
of this. Wilson acts as if he'd been put under
301
00:15:06.370 --> 00:15:08.850
some powerful hypnotic spell. He might know something about this
302
00:15:08.889 --> 00:15:10.710
flying torpedo that you ought to know.
303
00:15:10.730 --> 00:15:12.730
For heaven's sake, Cranston, I haven't time to listen to
304
00:15:12.789 --> 00:15:15.730
any such drivel. I know you're a very agreeable young
305
00:15:15.750 --> 00:15:17.509
man and you mean well, but you're letting your imagination
306
00:15:17.529 --> 00:15:19.379
run away with you. Now, if you don't mind, I
307
00:15:19.429 --> 00:15:20.759
must get ready to leave for the capital.
308
00:15:20.820 --> 00:15:23.240
Very well. Just do me one favor, General Levitt. I
309
00:15:23.259 --> 00:15:24.320
might prove something to you.
310
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.669
Oh, what is it? Suggest to Professor Arcalus that he
311
00:15:27.710 --> 00:15:30.409
be present with the other official visitors at the proving ground.
312
00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:32.399
The demonstration starts.
313
00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:34.019
Of course Professor Arcalus will be there.
314
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:34.759
Why shouldn't he be?
315
00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:35.860
That's what I'd like to know.
316
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.960
Unless I'm very much mistaken, General, Professor Arcalus has made
317
00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:42.879
arrangements to be far, far away from the scene of
318
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:43.879
his triumph.
319
00:15:44.490 --> 00:15:46.350
George Cranston, I believe you know something.
320
00:15:46.370 --> 00:15:49.210
Excuse me, sir. Well? There are two gentlemen here to
321
00:15:49.230 --> 00:15:51.009
see you, sir. Professor Arcalus and another man.
322
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:52.200
All right, show them in.
323
00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:54.120
General Leavitt will see you, General.
324
00:15:54.139 --> 00:15:54.480
Thank you.
325
00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:56.360
I'm sorry to interrupt you, General Leavitt.
326
00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:56.919
That's all right.
327
00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:57.870
This is Mr.
328
00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.600
Cranston, Professor Arcalus and Mr.
329
00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:00.039
Barloff.
330
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.250
How do you do? If you don't mind, Mr.
331
00:16:02.289 --> 00:16:04.610
Cranston, I'd like to speak to General Leavitt alone.
332
00:16:04.850 --> 00:16:05.450
Not at all.
333
00:16:05.590 --> 00:16:10.629
I'm sure you have weighty matters to discuss. Good day, gentlemen. Thanks, Cranston.
334
00:16:10.649 --> 00:16:11.029
Goodbye.
335
00:16:11.049 --> 00:16:13.080
Oh, orderly. Yes, General Leavitt.
336
00:16:13.179 --> 00:16:13.940
Is my luggage ready?
337
00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:14.399
Yes, sir.
338
00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:14.840
Fine.
339
00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:15.679
Then take the next train.
340
00:16:16.460 --> 00:16:18.250
Yeah, there's one leaving in 20 minutes.
341
00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:18.940
Can you make it?
342
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.120
Yes, sir, if I go now, sir.
343
00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:20.659
Go ahead, then.
344
00:16:20.710 --> 00:16:22.409
I'll close the office. I'll meet you in the capital tomorrow.
345
00:16:22.450 --> 00:16:23.250
Yes, sir.
346
00:16:24.649 --> 00:16:26.710
Well, what brings you here, Professor?
347
00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:27.889
Oh, sit down, Mr.
348
00:16:27.909 --> 00:16:28.929
Barlow. Thank you, sir.
349
00:16:29.370 --> 00:16:31.850
Barlow here has just returned from the proving ground, General.
350
00:16:32.309 --> 00:16:34.629
He supervised the loading of the torpedo.
351
00:16:34.210 --> 00:16:37.289
Early this morning. Everything was all right, I hope? Perfect.
352
00:16:37.710 --> 00:16:40.429
Your army mechanics seem very proud they're going to handle
353
00:16:40.450 --> 00:16:44.029
the torpedo by themselves. Of course, we'll be anxious to
354
00:16:44.090 --> 00:16:45.049
know how it comes out.
355
00:16:45.740 --> 00:16:48.600
Oh, aren't you going to be at the demonstration, Professor O'Keefe?
356
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:49.840
I'm afraid not.
357
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.159
Another engagement, unfortunately, prevents my attending.
358
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:54.289
Oh, yes, I see.
359
00:16:54.870 --> 00:16:57.049
But I can't understand how anything could be more important
360
00:16:57.070 --> 00:16:59.029
to you than seeing your own invention demonstrated before the
361
00:16:59.070 --> 00:17:00.129
highest officials of our government.
362
00:17:00.350 --> 00:17:02.629
I admit I'm terribly disappointed, General.
363
00:17:03.250 --> 00:17:05.670
However, I've left instructions for a telephone message to be
364
00:17:05.730 --> 00:17:08.440
sent to me at my hotel the minute the demonstration
365
00:17:08.500 --> 00:17:08.859
is over.
366
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.400
Professor, I'm not sure that this test should be made
367
00:17:13.420 --> 00:17:14.200
without your being there.
368
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:15.559
What do you mean?
369
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:17.500
Suppose I order you to go.
370
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.759
But no, that's impossible.
371
00:17:18.779 --> 00:17:19.519
Why impossible, Mr.
372
00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:19.680
Barlow?
373
00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:21.480
You must excuse Barlow, General Leavitt.
374
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.980
He is a little excited.
375
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.619
Excited?
376
00:17:25.019 --> 00:17:25.480
What about?
377
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.319
Look here, Professor Arcalus. Why don't you want to go
378
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.960
to the proving ground? Must I repeat my previous statement?
379
00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:33.750
This stalling and hedging is very suspicious. Right, George, you'll
380
00:17:33.769 --> 00:17:34.849
go whether you want to or not.
381
00:17:35.130 --> 00:17:36.529
Don't touch that phone.
382
00:17:36.630 --> 00:17:42.109
You can't give me orders in my own office. You
383
00:17:42.150 --> 00:17:45.329
hit him too hard, Barlow. His head was bleeding.
384
00:17:45.430 --> 00:17:46.809
He struck the desk when he fell.
385
00:17:46.849 --> 00:17:48.950
Yeah, the ragamundi's clasped him on the door.
386
00:17:50.309 --> 00:17:51.609
He knows something, Professor.
387
00:17:51.630 --> 00:17:53.650
Yeah, the fool suspects.
388
00:17:53.299 --> 00:17:53.970
Something, but how?
389
00:17:54.230 --> 00:17:55.130
And we've got to act quickly.
390
00:17:55.190 --> 00:17:56.259
I wonder if Lieutenant.
391
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:56.619
Wilson has talked.
392
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.619
But you said he's still under your hypnotic spell.
393
00:17:58.660 --> 00:18:01.079
Perhaps it would be better if Lieutenant Wilson died.
394
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:01.559
Yes.
395
00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:03.059
We're going to murder him.
396
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.740
No, I merely suggest that he kill himself.
397
00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:09.099
So, by love, if you'll tie up the general. Professor,
398
00:18:09.819 --> 00:18:10.299
look at him.
399
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:11.539
What?
400
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:23.799
General Levitt. Well, here's General Leavitt's office, Margot.
401
00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:27.240
No one seems to be here, Lamont.
402
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.180
Well, that's odd.
403
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:30.119
General was here less than an hour ago.
404
00:18:30.380 --> 00:18:30.819
General!
405
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:32.440
General Leavitt!
406
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:33.039
Look!
407
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.640
Here on the corner of the desk. Blood.
408
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:35.900
Blood.
409
00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:38.380
Word to Commissioner Weston at once.
410
00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:39.680
Tell him something has happened to General Levitt.
411
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:39.900
Yes.
412
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:40.779
Anything else? Yes.
413
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:42.599
Tell him to send a squad of men to South Pier.
414
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.349
I overheard Professor Arcalus and Barloff talking about meeting on
415
00:18:45.369 --> 00:18:45.990
a freighter there.
416
00:18:46.049 --> 00:18:46.549
Where are you going?
417
00:18:46.569 --> 00:18:48.289
I'm going to the jail. I'm going to make one
418
00:18:48.349 --> 00:18:51.450
more desperate attempt to get John Wilson to talk. You've
419
00:18:51.490 --> 00:18:53.349
got to find out what this is all about before
420
00:18:53.390 --> 00:18:54.009
it's too late.
421
00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:03.000
Do you want me to wait here at the jail,
422
00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:03.960
Professor Arcalus? No.
423
00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:06.490
Go down to South Pier, Barloff. I want to be
424
00:19:06.529 --> 00:19:10.089
alone with Lieutenant Wilson. I'll follow after I've taken care
425
00:19:10.130 --> 00:19:10.430
of him.
426
00:19:10.450 --> 00:19:12.829
All right. But first, I'll collect the baggage.
427
00:19:19.309 --> 00:19:21.930
But you remember only this, Lieutenant Wilson.
428
00:19:22.910 --> 00:19:27.329
See always my eyes in front of you. Yes. You
429
00:19:27.390 --> 00:19:30.890
will forever do what I tell you to. Stop.
430
00:19:31.750 --> 00:19:32.390
Leave me alone.
431
00:19:33.230 --> 00:19:38.119
No, never. Look, Wilson. See what I have.
432
00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:39.589
A knife.
433
00:19:40.619 --> 00:19:42.119
Here. Take it.
434
00:19:43.930 --> 00:19:44.970
Now listen to me.
435
00:19:45.869 --> 00:19:50.269
You are disgraced. Your family disgraced. You have nothing more
436
00:19:50.329 --> 00:19:52.289
to live for. Say it.
437
00:19:53.910 --> 00:19:57.279
I have nothing more to live for. I.
438
00:20:00.549 --> 00:20:05.279
I have nothing more to live for. Then draw the
439
00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:11.650
knife across your wrists. It's easy. Try it. Stop, John.
440
00:20:12.549 --> 00:20:13.829
Don't do it. Shut up.
441
00:20:13.910 --> 00:20:15.650
He's trying to make me.
442
00:20:15.670 --> 00:20:16.569
Keep away from me, Wilson.
443
00:20:16.809 --> 00:20:18.690
I've got you by the arm. Let go of me, Wilson.
444
00:20:18.710 --> 00:20:21.490
Archaelus, did you feel the knife yourself?
445
00:20:21.549 --> 00:20:25.359
Yes, you've cut me, you fool. Your blood is being shed, Professor.
446
00:20:25.390 --> 00:20:27.440
Remember what I told you? Let me out of here.
447
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:29.700
Let me out. He's gone, John. Something.
448
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.740
Something's happened to me. I... I feel like I can
449
00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:33.240
talk now.
450
00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:37.140
Then talk. Tell me what you know. Archaelus' spell is weakened.
451
00:20:37.819 --> 00:20:40.009
I can't see you. I don't know who you are, but...
452
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.880
You've got to help me. I first suspected Archelous and.
453
00:20:43.859 --> 00:20:44.359
His crowd when.
454
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:46.779
when I saw that the steering mechanism of the flying
455
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:48.119
torpedo had an extra attachment.
456
00:20:48.140 --> 00:20:48.920
An extra attachment?
457
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.259
Yes.
458
00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:51.660
You see, the flying torpedo is supposed to be steered
459
00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:54.759
by radio beams from an accompanying plane. But this extra
460
00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:58.029
attachment I'm talking about would... would render the radio beams ineffective.
461
00:20:58.569 --> 00:21:00.529
In other words, the rudder is set so the torpedo
462
00:21:00.549 --> 00:21:02.390
will fly in a complete circle and come back and
463
00:21:02.410 --> 00:21:04.450
strike the point from which it was sent, like a boomerang.
464
00:21:04.509 --> 00:21:06.890
If it does that in the demonstration today, it will
465
00:21:06.910 --> 00:21:08.509
wipe out all the important government officials.
466
00:21:08.529 --> 00:21:11.009
Yes, that's their plan. Just as I made the discovery,
467
00:21:11.069 --> 00:21:14.049
Arcalis came in, into the workshop. I accused him, and
468
00:21:14.410 --> 00:21:16.990
he put me under this spell. I tried to talk,
469
00:21:17.009 --> 00:21:17.549
but I couldn't.
470
00:21:17.609 --> 00:21:20.750
Never mind that. Now get in touch with Commissioner Weston.
471
00:21:21.329 --> 00:21:22.390
Have him go to the proving grounds.
472
00:21:23.230 --> 00:21:25.710
He can stop the test flight of this flying torpedo
473
00:21:25.769 --> 00:21:26.930
if he gets there soon enough.
474
00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:43.839
What's the idea of having us wait around here at
475
00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:44.619
the South Pier?
476
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:45.960
There don't seem to be anything stirring.
477
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.259
Who are the guys we're supposed.
478
00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.450
To pick up?
479
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:50.700
Two birds for the name of Professor Arcalus and Barloff.
480
00:21:51.259 --> 00:21:53.640
Foreigners, huh? Yeah. What are they going to do, make
481
00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:54.119
a getaway?
482
00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:56.380
I don't know. Commissioner Weston just said to make sure
483
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:58.519
we got them, that's all. If it had been that important,
484
00:21:58.539 --> 00:22:00.480
don't you think the commissioner would have come down here himself?
485
00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:02.380
Well, he was coming, but he got a last-minute call
486
00:22:02.420 --> 00:22:03.819
to go over the place where they're trying out that
487
00:22:03.859 --> 00:22:04.880
new flying torpedo.
488
00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:06.099
Oh, yeah, I read about that.
489
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.940
All these inventions. Wait a minute.
490
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:09.380
Somebody coming down the dock.
491
00:22:10.210 --> 00:22:10.670
Hey, you.
492
00:22:11.769 --> 00:22:15.329
Hey, stop where you are or I'll shoot.
493
00:22:15.349 --> 00:22:16.150
What's this all about?
494
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:16.859
Nothing.
495
00:22:17.819 --> 00:22:20.200
Where are you going? That is my business.
496
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:20.960
What's your name?
497
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.400
Come on, what's your name? Are you Balov? What is
498
00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:25.859
it to you?
499
00:22:26.099 --> 00:22:27.259
Answer me, are you Balov?
500
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:27.880
Yes.
501
00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:29.619
Well, that's all we wanted to know.
502
00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:31.750
Come on. I ain't done nothing.
503
00:22:31.769 --> 00:22:32.410
He's got a gun.
504
00:22:32.430 --> 00:22:32.549
What?
505
00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:37.839
I'm sorry, Sergeant.
506
00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:38.400
I had to do it.
507
00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:39.029
That's okay.
508
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:41.009
This Arcalus will probably be along in a minute.
509
00:22:41.369 --> 00:22:43.529
But this boy behind us says we don't want Arcalus.
510
00:22:44.109 --> 00:22:44.509
Hey, look out.
511
00:22:44.549 --> 00:22:45.630
Here comes another guy down the dock.
512
00:22:45.690 --> 00:22:46.490
All right, quick.
513
00:22:46.529 --> 00:22:47.349
Behind this piling here.
514
00:22:47.390 --> 00:22:47.670
Come on.
515
00:22:47.730 --> 00:22:48.509
It must be Arcalus.
516
00:22:48.589 --> 00:22:49.150
Yeah, I guess so.
517
00:22:51.750 --> 00:22:52.789
Professor Arcalus?
518
00:22:53.750 --> 00:22:54.250
Who are you?
519
00:22:54.829 --> 00:22:55.250
The police.
520
00:22:55.269 --> 00:22:56.470
They want to ask you what.
521
00:22:56.490 --> 00:22:57.170
Well, you can't get.
522
00:22:57.089 --> 00:22:57.430
Me to talk.
523
00:22:57.470 --> 00:22:58.210
You'll never make me talk.
524
00:22:58.230 --> 00:22:58.690
Look out, Sergeant.
525
00:22:58.710 --> 00:22:59.269
He's got a gun there.
526
00:22:59.289 --> 00:22:59.890
Drop that gun, Arcalus.
527
00:22:59.910 --> 00:23:00.410
You can't take me.
528
00:23:00.430 --> 00:23:02.980
The police can't touch me. You asked for it.
529
00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:04.980
Oh, you nailed him, Sergeant.
530
00:23:05.809 --> 00:23:06.130
You get to?
531
00:23:06.170 --> 00:23:07.230
Oh, I'm okay.
532
00:23:08.589 --> 00:23:09.529
Here comes the parole.
533
00:23:10.049 --> 00:23:11.029
Must have heard those shots.
534
00:23:11.490 --> 00:23:12.490
Well, I didn't have time.
535
00:23:15.910 --> 00:23:16.670
Oh, Commissioner Weston?
536
00:23:16.690 --> 00:23:17.289
Yes, Sergeant?
537
00:23:17.670 --> 00:23:18.369
So you got our man?
538
00:23:18.710 --> 00:23:19.670
Yep. Is he dead?
539
00:23:19.970 --> 00:23:23.170
I don't think so, sir. Well, Archelous, maybe you'll talk.
540
00:23:23.529 --> 00:23:29.450
I'll never talk. Commissioner Weston.
541
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:31.559
Shadow, what are you doing here?
542
00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:34.650
We can't waste time, Commissioner. You stopped the test of
543
00:23:34.670 --> 00:23:35.619
the flying torpedo?
544
00:23:35.630 --> 00:23:36.190
Yes, but.
545
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.299
Good.
546
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:42.720
Commissioner, you've saved the lives of thousands of spectators. To
547
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.160
say nothing of some of our highest government officials.
548
00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:46.420
Then it was you.
549
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:49.609
Yes. Yes, I had a friend of mine call you.
550
00:23:51.349 --> 00:23:57.529
And now, Professor Arcalus, let's have a story. You haven't
551
00:23:57.589 --> 00:23:58.130
much time.
552
00:23:59.119 --> 00:23:59.359
I know.
553
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:04.769
I'm dying, Shadow. It was a plot against our national defense,
554
00:24:05.470 --> 00:24:05.859
wasn't it?
555
00:24:06.910 --> 00:24:07.349
It was.
556
00:24:07.509 --> 00:24:09.490
Who employed you to do it? That I won't tell you.
557
00:24:09.509 --> 00:24:11.609
But Lieutenant Wilson is innocent.
558
00:24:13.069 --> 00:24:13.289
Yes.
559
00:24:14.710 --> 00:24:19.799
Wilson is innocent. Commissioner, you're a witness. Lieutenant Wilson is cleared. Yes, Shadow.
560
00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:21.740
And what about General Levitt?
561
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:23.740
Barloff killed him.
562
00:24:23.779 --> 00:24:25.960
Where is Barloff? They got him behind these boxes.
563
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:27.359
How.
564
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.460
How did you know about General Leavitt, Shadow? We found
565
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:45.109
blood on his desk. But this time the blood is yours, Archelous. Yes. Mine. Well, Shadow,
566
00:24:45.890 --> 00:24:50.589
Archelous is dead. Yes, Commissioner. And you've been instrumental in
567
00:24:50.630 --> 00:24:55.269
averting a national calamity. Archelous is dead. The innocence of
568
00:24:55.309 --> 00:24:56.769
Lieutenant Wilson has been proved.
569
00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:00.900
And the integrity of the men who protect our liberty
570
00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:11.119
is again vindicated.
571
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.380
And now here is John Buckley, blue-cold heating expert, with
572
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:16.980
helpful heating hints for you.
573
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.559
Thank you, Ken Roberts. Good evening, friends.
574
00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:24.869
I've received numerous letters from homeowners asking what they can
575
00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:28.720
do to prevent chimney loss... wasted heat that goes up
576
00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:31.460
the chimney instead of through the pipes of your heating system.
577
00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:35.339
It is really a simple matter to prevent this, and
578
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:38.819
you will save money on your fuel bills, too. The
579
00:25:38.859 --> 00:25:42.009
next time you refuel the fire, move the handle of
580
00:25:42.069 --> 00:25:45.670
the turn damper, that plate-like damper inside the smoke pipe,
581
00:25:46.269 --> 00:25:51.250
one-sixteenth of an inch toward the closed upright position. Then,
582
00:25:51.309 --> 00:25:54.789
if the fire still burns too freely, close the turn
583
00:25:54.809 --> 00:26:00.410
damper another sixteenth of an inch. Repeat this operation until.
584
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:01.799
You've found the correct adjustment.
585
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:05.960
Once you've found this ideal adjustment of the turn damper,
586
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:08.619
mark the position on the smoke pipe with a piece
587
00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:12.539
of chalk or something that can be plainly seen. Then
588
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:16.819
leave the damper set at that mark. Remember, the nearer
589
00:26:16.859 --> 00:26:19.789
the turn damper is set to a closed position, the
590
00:26:19.849 --> 00:26:22.890
smaller the chimney loss and the greater the volume of
591
00:26:23.049 --> 00:26:26.670
useful heat. If you follow the suggestions that I give
592
00:26:26.690 --> 00:26:30.049
you every Sunday on this program, they should enable you
593
00:26:30.109 --> 00:26:34.490
to heat your home with the utmost efficiency and economy. However,
594
00:26:35.210 --> 00:26:38.789
if you're experiencing trouble with your heating plant, call your
595
00:26:38.849 --> 00:26:41.210
nearest blue coal dealer and ask him to send a
596
00:26:41.250 --> 00:26:44.859
John Barclay trained serviceman to your home to inspect your furnace.
597
00:26:45.500 --> 00:26:48.559
This service is free to all blue coal customers.
598
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:51.160
I thank you. Thank you, Mr. Barclay.
599
00:26:52.009 --> 00:26:54.759
And here's the official telegram advising of the award the
600
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:58.720
American Police Review has made to the shadow program. Quote,
601
00:26:59.619 --> 00:27:02.640
the American Police Review salutes the producers and sponsors of
602
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:05.640
the shadow for their contribution to the cause of better
603
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:11.009
law enforcement. 13,000 police executives throughout the United States read
604
00:27:11.049 --> 00:27:14.210
the review. So our purpose is to help them find
605
00:27:14.250 --> 00:27:18.420
the best tools and methods to combat crime. the editors
606
00:27:18.460 --> 00:27:20.480
of the review have turned a critical ear toward the
607
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:23.720
shadow program for some time and are gratified to note
608
00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:28.009
that your presentation of police roles truly reflects the intelligence
609
00:27:28.130 --> 00:27:31.349
and character of the high type of police officer now
610
00:27:31.430 --> 00:27:34.950
found throughout the land. We therefore take pleasure in presenting
611
00:27:34.970 --> 00:27:38.930
to you the American Police Review Certificate of Award for
612
00:27:38.970 --> 00:27:42.240
Distinguished Service to the Cause of Better Law Enforcement.
613
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:43.460
Signed, J.
614
00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:47.160
Norville Birch, editor of the American Police Review, Chicago, Illinois.
615
00:27:53.660 --> 00:27:56.579
And so, on behalf of Blue Coal Dealers and of
616
00:27:56.619 --> 00:27:59.160
all those who assist in the weekly programs of The Shadow,
617
00:27:59.539 --> 00:28:02.549
we tender our thanks and appreciation to editor Jane Norval
618
00:28:02.569 --> 00:28:06.769
Birch and the American Police Review for their splendid testimonial.
619
00:28:11.930 --> 00:28:13.869
You have just heard a dramatized version of one of
620
00:28:13.910 --> 00:28:16.710
the many copyrighted stories which appear in The Shadow magazine.
621
00:28:17.309 --> 00:28:19.589
All the characters and all the places named are fictitious.
622
00:28:20.109 --> 00:28:23.059
Any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
623
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:25.599
As you sow evil, so.
624
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:30.910
Shall you reap evil. To rhyme the
1
00:00:04.150 --> 00:00:05.710
The Shadow knows.
2
00:00:15.259 --> 00:00:19.699
Again, blue coal dealers present radio's strangest adventurer, The Shadow.
3
00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:23.949
Mystery man who strikes terror into the very hearts of shopsters, lawbreakers,
4
00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:24.489
and criminals.
5
00:00:25.289 --> 00:00:25.609
Today.
6
00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:30.100
Blue Coal brings you the Shadow's latest adventure, The Plot Murder.
7
00:00:33.969 --> 00:00:37.509
In just a moment, the Shadow's exciting adventure will begin. Meanwhile,
8
00:00:37.549 --> 00:00:40.649
I have something important to tell all you homeowners. During
9
00:00:40.670 --> 00:00:44.009
this treacherous winter season, you can protect your family's health
10
00:00:44.090 --> 00:00:48.329
by burning blue coal. For blue coal's harmless blue coloring
11
00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:53.229
is your guarantee of clean, uniform, healthful heat all winter long.
12
00:00:53.929 --> 00:00:55.090
Blue coal saves.
13
00:00:54.890 --> 00:00:55.570
You money, too.
14
00:00:56.140 --> 00:01:00.549
For it burns steadily, completely, down to a fine, powdery ash.
15
00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:03.890
So next time you are buying fuel, ask for Blue
16
00:01:03.969 --> 00:01:08.709
Coal by name. It's Pennsylvania's finest anthracite. Order a trial
17
00:01:08.769 --> 00:01:17.750
ton from your nearest Blue Coal dealer tomorrow. An important announcement.
18
00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:20.590
Just before going on the air with today's adventure of
19
00:01:20.629 --> 00:01:23.969
the shadows, we received a telegram from the American Police Review.
20
00:01:24.609 --> 00:01:27.879
presenting The Shadow with a special award. Be sure to
21
00:01:27.900 --> 00:01:31.060
hear this official presentation at the close of this program.
22
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:36.519
And now, Blue Cole presents The Shadow in The Plot Murder.
23
00:01:45.939 --> 00:01:51.760
Captain Hines, read the findings of this court-martial.
24
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.420
We find the accused, Lieutenant John.
25
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.079
Wilson, guilty of treasonable sabotage against the government.
26
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:57.280
No!
27
00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:00.560
In that he willfully destroyed a secret device known as
28
00:02:00.609 --> 00:02:05.870
the flying torpedo, invented by one George Arcalis and acquired exclusively.
29
00:02:05.349 --> 00:02:06.250
For use by the government.
30
00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:09.409
Has the prisoner anything to say before sentence is pronounced?
31
00:02:10.289 --> 00:02:10.490
Yes.
32
00:02:11.590 --> 00:02:12.849
Yes, but what can he say?
33
00:02:13.169 --> 00:02:14.889
He admits he broke the mechanism.
34
00:02:14.509 --> 00:02:15.870
On the demonstration torpedo.
35
00:02:15.889 --> 00:02:17.240
Quiet, please, Professor Arcalis.
36
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.120
As the inventor, we understand your concern in this matter.
37
00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:21.460
But please don't interrupt us.
38
00:02:22.650 --> 00:02:26.379
Well, Lieutenant Wilson, I.
39
00:02:26.810 --> 00:02:30.300
I don't know, sir. I can hear all that's going on,
40
00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:31.439
but I.
41
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:33.319
I went into the.
42
00:02:33.340 --> 00:02:37.120
It's obvious, General Leavitt, that Lieutenant Wilson is not mentally accountable.
43
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.819
He was sufficiently accountable to enter the testing shed by
44
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.430
virtue of his authority as an army lieutenant and to
45
00:02:42.490 --> 00:02:45.009
tamper with the flying torpedo and render it useless the
46
00:02:45.030 --> 00:02:46.650
very day it was to be demonstrated to the government.
47
00:02:47.710 --> 00:02:50.129
Read the sentence of the court. Lieutenant Wilson.
48
00:02:50.979 --> 00:02:53.569
This court decides, subject to the approval of the president,
49
00:02:54.069 --> 00:02:56.370
that you'll be dishonorably discharged from the service of your
50
00:02:56.409 --> 00:02:58.849
country and sentenced to imprisonment.
51
00:02:58.310 --> 00:02:59.189
For the term of that.
52
00:02:59.389 --> 00:02:59.650
No!
53
00:02:59.669 --> 00:02:59.729
No!
54
00:02:59.729 --> 00:02:59.990
Look out!
55
00:03:00.009 --> 00:03:00.610
He's got a revolver!
56
00:03:00.650 --> 00:03:01.069
Don't shoot!
57
00:03:01.150 --> 00:03:02.810
That's the man, Professor Arcalus!
58
00:03:03.930 --> 00:03:05.270
He's wounded, Professor Arcalus!
59
00:03:05.349 --> 00:03:05.849
All is out there.
60
00:03:05.889 --> 00:03:07.069
Take Lieutenant Wilson back to his cell.
61
00:03:16.949 --> 00:03:19.270
Lamont Cranston, I tell you, John Wilson can't be guilty.
62
00:03:19.289 --> 00:03:20.110
He just can't.
63
00:03:20.270 --> 00:03:21.009
Why not, Margaret?
64
00:03:21.030 --> 00:03:23.889
After all, traitorous army officers are not unknown to history.
65
00:03:24.009 --> 00:03:26.030
Yes, but the peculiar way John Wilson talked on the
66
00:03:26.069 --> 00:03:29.129
stand makes me think there's something strange about the whole thing.
67
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:33.520
He acted, well, almost like a man in a trance. Lamont,
68
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.960
just what is this flying torpedo he's supposed to have
69
00:03:35.979 --> 00:03:36.520
tampered with?
70
00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:39.599
It's what its name implies, a sort of aerial torpedo
71
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.979
filled with high explosive flying under its own power. Once
72
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.740
it's launched into the air, instead of flying a predetermined course,
73
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.340
its direction can be guided by radio beams from an
74
00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:50.370
observation plane flying high above it.
75
00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:50.840
I see.
76
00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:55.030
Imagine its tremendous effectiveness in warfare, deadly accuracy, and hitting
77
00:03:55.069 --> 00:03:57.689
even a fast-moving target like a troop train or a
78
00:03:57.710 --> 00:03:58.289
supply ship.
79
00:03:58.349 --> 00:04:00.300
Sounds tremendously important. Who invented it?
80
00:04:00.389 --> 00:04:03.129
This man, Archelis, who demonstrated it last week at the
81
00:04:03.169 --> 00:04:06.550
proving grounds before a large delegation from the Capitol. Besides
82
00:04:06.590 --> 00:04:08.569
being members of the War Department, a great many high
83
00:04:08.610 --> 00:04:09.909
officials in other branches.
84
00:04:09.650 --> 00:04:11.240
Of the government were to attend the test.
85
00:04:11.310 --> 00:04:11.560
Well.
86
00:04:12.030 --> 00:04:14.629
Since your friend Wilson gained access to the laboratory and
87
00:04:14.669 --> 00:04:17.779
put the flying torpedo out of commission, the test has
88
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:19.180
been postponed until tomorrow.
89
00:04:19.259 --> 00:04:20.939
And who is Arcalus? Where did he come from?
90
00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:23.699
He's famous for an inventor. He's quite a reputation broad.
91
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.779
Lamont, you don't suppose it's possible Arcalus has the boy
92
00:04:26.819 --> 00:04:28.360
under some strong mental influence?
93
00:04:28.379 --> 00:04:28.939
It's possible.
94
00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:32.170
They've got Wilson temporarily in the city jail. Won't you
95
00:04:32.189 --> 00:04:33.750
call on him as the shadow?
96
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.189
Margo, do you honestly think that this case warrants my
97
00:04:37.230 --> 00:04:38.250
attention as a shadow?
98
00:04:38.329 --> 00:04:40.610
Lamont, I don't ask many favors, but I have a
99
00:04:40.629 --> 00:04:42.170
feeling John Wilson is innocent.
100
00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:45.069
All right, Margo. You're really serious.
101
00:04:46.420 --> 00:04:49.939
The shadow will pay a call on John Wilson in
102
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:50.939
the city jail.
103
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.800
Lieutenant Wilson is in that last.
104
00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:10.779
Cell, Professor Arcalus.
105
00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:15.360
Thank you, guard. This passport General Leavitt gave me. Do
106
00:05:15.379 --> 00:05:16.889
you take it or do I keep it?
107
00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:18.920
You better keep it, sir, in case you.
108
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:19.579
Want to use it again.
109
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.439
Yes, that's right. You'll have to talk to.
110
00:05:22.370 --> 00:05:23.649
Wilson through the bars.
111
00:05:23.970 --> 00:05:25.230
No one's allowed in his cell.
112
00:05:25.410 --> 00:05:25.790
Thank you.
113
00:05:25.810 --> 00:05:28.579
I have no desire to go in. They already have
114
00:05:28.699 --> 00:05:30.639
one arm in his sling due to the young man's temper.
115
00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:33.319
There's only one or two questions I want to ask him,
116
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:33.980
then I'll leave.
117
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:34.740
I will.
118
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.220
Well? Who is this?
119
00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:45.180
You! I can't... Don't get excited, Lieutenant Wilson.
120
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.980
I only came to tell you that you're a much
121
00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:52.490
better mechanic than a marksman. Your bullet only injured my arm.
122
00:05:52.670 --> 00:05:55.050
I'm only sorry I didn't... Didn't.
123
00:05:55.149 --> 00:05:55.550
Kill me?
124
00:05:56.810 --> 00:05:58.649
The only way you can break the spell I have.
125
00:05:58.589 --> 00:06:00.879
Over you, isn't it? To kill me.
126
00:06:01.649 --> 00:06:02.759
Will somebody stop?
127
00:06:04.779 --> 00:06:06.379
Look in my eyes. No.
128
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.300
Look. No, I won't.
129
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.060
John Wilson, look in my eyes.
130
00:06:11.339 --> 00:06:11.560
No.
131
00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:14.800
Look in my eyes, Wilson.
132
00:06:16.139 --> 00:06:24.470
That's right. Now repeat after me. I destroyed the torpedoes.
133
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.560
I destroyed the torpedo.
134
00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:31.399
Say it. I.
135
00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:36.639
I destroyed the torpedo.
136
00:06:37.579 --> 00:06:40.529
Sabotage against my country.
137
00:06:41.829 --> 00:06:46.189
Sabotage against my country.
138
00:06:47.689 --> 00:06:53.250
I am guilty. I am guilty.
139
00:06:54.540 --> 00:07:00.699
Then that is all you remember. Are you sure that's
140
00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:05.160
all he remembers, Professor Arcalus? Who said that?
141
00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:07.680
Guard, you are there?
142
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.639
No, not the guard, Professor. He's waiting at the end
143
00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:12.300
of the passage.
144
00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:13.500
Are you hiding somewhere?
145
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.439
In the next cell, perhaps? No, I am here. In
146
00:07:17.459 --> 00:07:23.639
the shadows, Professor Arcalus. Perhaps you've heard of me. Who
147
00:07:23.740 --> 00:07:27.220
are you? shadow. The shadow?
148
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:28.000
Help me.
149
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:34.050
Help me. I am your friend, John Wilson. Think now. Concentrate.
150
00:07:35.370 --> 00:07:36.769
What is it you're trying to remember?
151
00:07:38.629 --> 00:07:39.470
It's that torpedo.
152
00:07:40.649 --> 00:07:46.870
Dangerous. Wilson, be quiet. Steady now. Think. Think. You can
153
00:07:46.910 --> 00:07:47.949
break through this spell.
154
00:07:49.850 --> 00:07:51.009
I tried to make them understand.
155
00:07:51.029 --> 00:07:51.189
Stop.
156
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.019
I destroyed the torpedo because of you.
157
00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:55.129
I command you to stop.
158
00:07:55.170 --> 00:08:00.209
John, your friends believe in you. They're trying to help you.
159
00:08:00.709 --> 00:08:03.990
Wilson, what have you committed?
160
00:08:04.009 --> 00:08:05.629
I will.
161
00:08:07.170 --> 00:08:11.060
Sabotage again my country.
162
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.360
I am guilty. I am guilty.
163
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:19.500
Oh, Mr.
164
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:23.990
Shadow, whoever you are, You'll see.
165
00:08:24.189 --> 00:08:27.930
You have a powerful spell over the boy, Professor. But
166
00:08:27.990 --> 00:08:30.930
there is a way to break it. What way, Shadow?
167
00:08:31.149 --> 00:08:35.529
If you don't know, I have no intention of telling you... yet.
168
00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:50.860
Margo Lane. Margo Lane, stand by. Arcalis has put Wilson
169
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.649
under some strong mental influence, a sort of... Hypnotic telepathy.
170
00:08:55.389 --> 00:08:58.629
The voice of conscience is dominated by the thoughts Arcalus
171
00:08:58.690 --> 00:09:02.470
puts there. We must weaken Arcalus' hold on Wilson's mind
172
00:09:03.289 --> 00:09:05.009
so we can find out if he's guilty or not.
173
00:09:05.909 --> 00:09:07.090
Stand ready for another call.
174
00:09:07.750 --> 00:09:10.149
Tonight I'm going to pay a surprise visit to Professor
175
00:09:10.250 --> 00:09:13.330
Arcalus at his hotel. I have a feeling that if
176
00:09:13.350 --> 00:09:17.110
we're not successful in getting Wilson to talk, this country
177
00:09:17.129 --> 00:09:28.340
of ours may suffer a terrible disaster. Fire up.
178
00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:32.860
Lock the door. All right. Did anyone follow you here
179
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.659
to the hotel? No. No one, Professor Arkelius.
180
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:36.039
Good.
181
00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:38.259
The test will take place tomorrow?
182
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:39.519
Yes, at three o'clock.
183
00:09:39.950 --> 00:09:43.070
The War Department is so convinced your invention will render
184
00:09:43.149 --> 00:09:46.490
any nation possessing an invincible that the high command of
185
00:09:46.529 --> 00:09:48.690
both the Army and Navy are to be.
186
00:09:48.570 --> 00:09:51.169
There to witness the test. The President, too?
187
00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:51.669
Yes.
188
00:09:51.990 --> 00:09:55.750
The President and the Vice President expect to attend. together
189
00:09:55.789 --> 00:09:59.129
with the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy.
190
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.320
They've fallen into my trap. They'll be blown off the
191
00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:05.240
face of the earth just as I planned. I'll have
192
00:10:05.259 --> 00:10:07.460
to show you make a final inspection before the torpedo
193
00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:09.710
is taken out to the ground and see that the
194
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:10.909
steering mechanism is set.
195
00:10:11.009 --> 00:10:11.610
I understand.
196
00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:14.070
But since I am your chief assistant, they might ask
197
00:10:14.129 --> 00:10:15.029
me to go along with them.
198
00:10:15.070 --> 00:10:16.070
No, they won't. I'll fix them.
199
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:21.200
Their bungling army mechanics think they understand the flying torpedo perfectly.
200
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.559
So to satisfy their pride, I've let them take complete
201
00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:25.620
charge of the demonstration.
202
00:10:25.659 --> 00:10:25.940
Good.
203
00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:28.490
Don't worry about us. And afterwards.
204
00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:31.190
Afterwards, with the guiding brains of the nation wiped out
205
00:10:31.250 --> 00:10:35.149
at a single stroke, the country will be thrown into confusion, disorganized.
206
00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:37.450
So we have nothing to fear.
207
00:10:37.549 --> 00:10:38.009
I see.
208
00:10:38.590 --> 00:10:40.190
There are only two things that.
209
00:10:40.110 --> 00:10:41.289
Bother me slightly, though.
210
00:10:42.509 --> 00:10:43.740
Lieutenant Wilson, for one.
211
00:10:43.830 --> 00:10:44.309
Wilson!
212
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.559
Did he really discover the secret trick of the steering mechanism?
213
00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:49.440
Yes, he knows what we intend to do and how
214
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:50.200
we intend.
215
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.200
To do it.
216
00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:51.799
You should have disposed of him at once.
217
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:52.539
I thought of that.
218
00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:57.220
I was afraid it would arouse suspicion. But I'm keeping
219
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.480
Wilson under mental hypnotic control until it's too late for
220
00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:01.179
him to stop us.
221
00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:03.179
Wouldn't it be better if he were dead?
222
00:11:03.220 --> 00:11:06.519
Perhaps. I can still visit him at the prison.
223
00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:09.539
And what is the other thing that bothers you, Professor?
224
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.100
Only a shadow, Barov.
225
00:11:12.409 --> 00:11:14.529
I'm not quite sure of the extent of its power.
226
00:11:14.570 --> 00:11:15.149
A shadow?
227
00:11:15.370 --> 00:11:15.950
Don't worry.
228
00:11:15.990 --> 00:11:17.190
I think I can take care.
229
00:11:17.009 --> 00:11:17.450
Of it, too.
230
00:11:17.470 --> 00:11:18.870
Listen.
231
00:11:19.049 --> 00:11:19.379
What is it?
232
00:11:19.570 --> 00:11:21.049
I thought I heard footsteps outside in the hall.
233
00:11:21.509 --> 00:11:29.080
Go and look. There's no one here. The hall is empty.
234
00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:30.500
Must be my nerves.
235
00:11:31.860 --> 00:11:33.460
I'll be glad when this is all over.
236
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.159
Our escape is taken care of?
237
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.740
Yes, the freighter will be waiting for us at South Pier.
238
00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:40.629
But go now, Carl. And success to you.
239
00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:52.799
Good night, Professor. Good night, Barlow. The shadow.
240
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.039
If I can't put my willpower against the shadow, then
241
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:02.370
I deserve to lose. And I've never yet.
242
00:12:04.230 --> 00:12:05.809
Good evening, Professor Arcalus.
243
00:12:06.230 --> 00:12:06.509
You.
244
00:12:07.590 --> 00:12:08.370
Shadow, you've come?
245
00:12:08.429 --> 00:12:12.580
Yes, Professor. Why do you hold Lieutenant Wilson in a
246
00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:14.019
hypnotic spell, Professor?
247
00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:17.179
I don't know what you're talking about, Shadow.
248
00:12:17.210 --> 00:12:20.350
We shall see. And now I have something else to
249
00:12:20.409 --> 00:12:20.789
tell you.
250
00:12:21.110 --> 00:12:21.389
What?
251
00:12:22.269 --> 00:12:25.889
Wilson knows something about you, Professor. And I'm going to
252
00:12:25.929 --> 00:12:28.049
find out what it is. All right, Shadow.
253
00:12:28.629 --> 00:12:30.840
You know a little, but you'll never learn more from Wilson.
254
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.360
No one can break the spell. Not you, nor all
255
00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:34.559
your childish magic.
256
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.759
You'll forget. Greater magic, Archelous. What?
257
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:40.559
Death.
258
00:12:42.590 --> 00:12:46.789
Death? Yes, it's on the way, Professor. But I can
259
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.179
promise you this, if any blood is shed, it will
260
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.820
be yours, not the Shadow's.
261
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.759
The second part of the Shadow's adventure will continue in
262
00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:08.080
just a moment. Meanwhile, here's some interesting information. Every day,
263
00:13:08.110 --> 00:13:11.179
more and more families throughout this area... are saving money
264
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.259
on their heating and cooking bills. These families are getting
265
00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:18.440
better and more economical heat than ever before with blue coal.
266
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.830
Blue coal is anthracite. It is an American product mined
267
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.000
by the Glen Alden Coal Company, who are deeply grateful
268
00:13:26.070 --> 00:13:28.590
for the purchases of blue coal by families.
269
00:13:28.230 --> 00:13:29.169
Throughout this area.
270
00:13:29.830 --> 00:13:33.230
Today, blue coal is the largest selling brand of home
271
00:13:33.289 --> 00:13:37.029
fuel in America. because it is the only fuel that
272
00:13:37.110 --> 00:13:41.529
so satisfactorily combines all of the essentials necessary for perfect
273
00:13:41.590 --> 00:13:46.110
heating results. It is superior in quality, cleaner than most fuels,
274
00:13:46.509 --> 00:13:50.870
and economical, because it burns long and steadily down to
275
00:13:50.909 --> 00:13:54.740
a fine powdery ash. Furthermore, there can be no substitution
276
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:57.899
when ordering blue coal, because it is the only solid
277
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:01.700
fuel actually trademarked with a blue tint, so that you
278
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.970
can identify it at a glance. These are a few
279
00:14:05.029 --> 00:14:08.379
reasons why in Watertown, New York, blue coal sales this
280
00:14:08.409 --> 00:14:12.159
winter show a 29% increase over the same period a
281
00:14:12.220 --> 00:14:15.879
year ago. So take a tip from Watertown, New York family.
282
00:14:16.659 --> 00:14:19.960
Order blue coal by name. You will find the name
283
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.899
of your nearest blue coal dealer listed in the where
284
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.710
to buy it section of your classified telephone directory under
285
00:14:26.750 --> 00:14:28.710
the name blue coal.
286
00:14:37.139 --> 00:14:40.009
But I tell you, General Levitt... Excuse me, Constable.
287
00:14:40.070 --> 00:14:40.929
Go right ahead, General.
288
00:14:41.470 --> 00:14:44.889
Hello. General Levitt speaking. Oh, yes.
289
00:14:44.929 --> 00:14:45.809
Good morning, Captain Hines.
290
00:14:46.649 --> 00:14:47.169
That's fine.
291
00:14:47.870 --> 00:14:51.009
You have the flying torpedo loaded and ready.
292
00:14:50.870 --> 00:14:51.529
For the demonstration?
293
00:14:52.269 --> 00:14:52.490
Good.
294
00:14:53.330 --> 00:14:54.129
I'll expect a report.
295
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:55.809
Sorry I can't be with you.
296
00:14:55.820 --> 00:14:56.899
Good night. Good night.
297
00:14:58.450 --> 00:15:01.429
Now, Cranston, to get back to this Lieutenant Wilson, I
298
00:15:01.470 --> 00:15:02.210
don't see what I can do.
299
00:15:02.230 --> 00:15:04.090
But there may be some desperate plot at the bottom
300
00:15:04.110 --> 00:15:06.350
of this. Wilson acts as if he'd been put under
301
00:15:06.370 --> 00:15:08.850
some powerful hypnotic spell. He might know something about this
302
00:15:08.889 --> 00:15:10.710
flying torpedo that you ought to know.
303
00:15:10.730 --> 00:15:12.730
For heaven's sake, Cranston, I haven't time to listen to
304
00:15:12.789 --> 00:15:15.730
any such drivel. I know you're a very agreeable young
305
00:15:15.750 --> 00:15:17.509
man and you mean well, but you're letting your imagination
306
00:15:17.529 --> 00:15:19.379
run away with you. Now, if you don't mind, I
307
00:15:19.429 --> 00:15:20.759
must get ready to leave for the capital.
308
00:15:20.820 --> 00:15:23.240
Very well. Just do me one favor, General Levitt. I
309
00:15:23.259 --> 00:15:24.320
might prove something to you.
310
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.669
Oh, what is it? Suggest to Professor Arcalus that he
311
00:15:27.710 --> 00:15:30.409
be present with the other official visitors at the proving ground.
312
00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:32.399
The demonstration starts.
313
00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:34.019
Of course Professor Arcalus will be there.
314
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:34.759
Why shouldn't he be?
315
00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:35.860
That's what I'd like to know.
316
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.960
Unless I'm very much mistaken, General, Professor Arcalus has made
317
00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:42.879
arrangements to be far, far away from the scene of
318
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:43.879
his triumph.
319
00:15:44.490 --> 00:15:46.350
George Cranston, I believe you know something.
320
00:15:46.370 --> 00:15:49.210
Excuse me, sir. Well? There are two gentlemen here to
321
00:15:49.230 --> 00:15:51.009
see you, sir. Professor Arcalus and another man.
322
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:52.200
All right, show them in.
323
00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:54.120
General Leavitt will see you, General.
324
00:15:54.139 --> 00:15:54.480
Thank you.
325
00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:56.360
I'm sorry to interrupt you, General Leavitt.
326
00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:56.919
That's all right.
327
00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:57.870
This is Mr.
328
00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.600
Cranston, Professor Arcalus and Mr.
329
00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:00.039
Barloff.
330
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.250
How do you do? If you don't mind, Mr.
331
00:16:02.289 --> 00:16:04.610
Cranston, I'd like to speak to General Leavitt alone.
332
00:16:04.850 --> 00:16:05.450
Not at all.
333
00:16:05.590 --> 00:16:10.629
I'm sure you have weighty matters to discuss. Good day, gentlemen. Thanks, Cranston.
334
00:16:10.649 --> 00:16:11.029
Goodbye.
335
00:16:11.049 --> 00:16:13.080
Oh, orderly. Yes, General Leavitt.
336
00:16:13.179 --> 00:16:13.940
Is my luggage ready?
337
00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:14.399
Yes, sir.
338
00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:14.840
Fine.
339
00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:15.679
Then take the next train.
340
00:16:16.460 --> 00:16:18.250
Yeah, there's one leaving in 20 minutes.
341
00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:18.940
Can you make it?
342
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.120
Yes, sir, if I go now, sir.
343
00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:20.659
Go ahead, then.
344
00:16:20.710 --> 00:16:22.409
I'll close the office. I'll meet you in the capital tomorrow.
345
00:16:22.450 --> 00:16:23.250
Yes, sir.
346
00:16:24.649 --> 00:16:26.710
Well, what brings you here, Professor?
347
00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:27.889
Oh, sit down, Mr.
348
00:16:27.909 --> 00:16:28.929
Barlow. Thank you, sir.
349
00:16:29.370 --> 00:16:31.850
Barlow here has just returned from the proving ground, General.
350
00:16:32.309 --> 00:16:34.629
He supervised the loading of the torpedo.
351
00:16:34.210 --> 00:16:37.289
Early this morning. Everything was all right, I hope? Perfect.
352
00:16:37.710 --> 00:16:40.429
Your army mechanics seem very proud they're going to handle
353
00:16:40.450 --> 00:16:44.029
the torpedo by themselves. Of course, we'll be anxious to
354
00:16:44.090 --> 00:16:45.049
know how it comes out.
355
00:16:45.740 --> 00:16:48.600
Oh, aren't you going to be at the demonstration, Professor O'Keefe?
356
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:49.840
I'm afraid not.
357
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.159
Another engagement, unfortunately, prevents my attending.
358
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:54.289
Oh, yes, I see.
359
00:16:54.870 --> 00:16:57.049
But I can't understand how anything could be more important
360
00:16:57.070 --> 00:16:59.029
to you than seeing your own invention demonstrated before the
361
00:16:59.070 --> 00:17:00.129
highest officials of our government.
362
00:17:00.350 --> 00:17:02.629
I admit I'm terribly disappointed, General.
363
00:17:03.250 --> 00:17:05.670
However, I've left instructions for a telephone message to be
364
00:17:05.730 --> 00:17:08.440
sent to me at my hotel the minute the demonstration
365
00:17:08.500 --> 00:17:08.859
is over.
366
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.400
Professor, I'm not sure that this test should be made
367
00:17:13.420 --> 00:17:14.200
without your being there.
368
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:15.559
What do you mean?
369
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:17.500
Suppose I order you to go.
370
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.759
But no, that's impossible.
371
00:17:18.779 --> 00:17:19.519
Why impossible, Mr.
372
00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:19.680
Barlow?
373
00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:21.480
You must excuse Barlow, General Leavitt.
374
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.980
He is a little excited.
375
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.619
Excited?
376
00:17:25.019 --> 00:17:25.480
What about?
377
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.319
Look here, Professor Arcalus. Why don't you want to go
378
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.960
to the proving ground? Must I repeat my previous statement?
379
00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:33.750
This stalling and hedging is very suspicious. Right, George, you'll
380
00:17:33.769 --> 00:17:34.849
go whether you want to or not.
381
00:17:35.130 --> 00:17:36.529
Don't touch that phone.
382
00:17:36.630 --> 00:17:42.109
You can't give me orders in my own office. You
383
00:17:42.150 --> 00:17:45.329
hit him too hard, Barlow. His head was bleeding.
384
00:17:45.430 --> 00:17:46.809
He struck the desk when he fell.
385
00:17:46.849 --> 00:17:48.950
Yeah, the ragamundi's clasped him on the door.
386
00:17:50.309 --> 00:17:51.609
He knows something, Professor.
387
00:17:51.630 --> 00:17:53.650
Yeah, the fool suspects.
388
00:17:53.299 --> 00:17:53.970
Something, but how?
389
00:17:54.230 --> 00:17:55.130
And we've got to act quickly.
390
00:17:55.190 --> 00:17:56.259
I wonder if Lieutenant.
391
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:56.619
Wilson has talked.
392
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.619
But you said he's still under your hypnotic spell.
393
00:17:58.660 --> 00:18:01.079
Perhaps it would be better if Lieutenant Wilson died.
394
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:01.559
Yes.
395
00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:03.059
We're going to murder him.
396
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.740
No, I merely suggest that he kill himself.
397
00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:09.099
So, by love, if you'll tie up the general. Professor,
398
00:18:09.819 --> 00:18:10.299
look at him.
399
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:11.539
What?
400
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:23.799
General Levitt. Well, here's General Leavitt's office, Margot.
401
00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:27.240
No one seems to be here, Lamont.
402
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.180
Well, that's odd.
403
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:30.119
General was here less than an hour ago.
404
00:18:30.380 --> 00:18:30.819
General!
405
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:32.440
General Leavitt!
406
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:33.039
Look!
407
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.640
Here on the corner of the desk. Blood.
408
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:35.900
Blood.
409
00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:38.380
Word to Commissioner Weston at once.
410
00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:39.680
Tell him something has happened to General Levitt.
411
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:39.900
Yes.
412
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:40.779
Anything else? Yes.
413
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:42.599
Tell him to send a squad of men to South Pier.
414
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.349
I overheard Professor Arcalus and Barloff talking about meeting on
415
00:18:45.369 --> 00:18:45.990
a freighter there.
416
00:18:46.049 --> 00:18:46.549
Where are you going?
417
00:18:46.569 --> 00:18:48.289
I'm going to the jail. I'm going to make one
418
00:18:48.349 --> 00:18:51.450
more desperate attempt to get John Wilson to talk. You've
419
00:18:51.490 --> 00:18:53.349
got to find out what this is all about before
420
00:18:53.390 --> 00:18:54.009
it's too late.
421
00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:03.000
Do you want me to wait here at the jail,
422
00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:03.960
Professor Arcalus? No.
423
00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:06.490
Go down to South Pier, Barloff. I want to be
424
00:19:06.529 --> 00:19:10.089
alone with Lieutenant Wilson. I'll follow after I've taken care
425
00:19:10.130 --> 00:19:10.430
of him.
426
00:19:10.450 --> 00:19:12.829
All right. But first, I'll collect the baggage.
427
00:19:19.309 --> 00:19:21.930
But you remember only this, Lieutenant Wilson.
428
00:19:22.910 --> 00:19:27.329
See always my eyes in front of you. Yes. You
429
00:19:27.390 --> 00:19:30.890
will forever do what I tell you to. Stop.
430
00:19:31.750 --> 00:19:32.390
Leave me alone.
431
00:19:33.230 --> 00:19:38.119
No, never. Look, Wilson. See what I have.
432
00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:39.589
A knife.
433
00:19:40.619 --> 00:19:42.119
Here. Take it.
434
00:19:43.930 --> 00:19:44.970
Now listen to me.
435
00:19:45.869 --> 00:19:50.269
You are disgraced. Your family disgraced. You have nothing more
436
00:19:50.329 --> 00:19:52.289
to live for. Say it.
437
00:19:53.910 --> 00:19:57.279
I have nothing more to live for. I.
438
00:20:00.549 --> 00:20:05.279
I have nothing more to live for. Then draw the
439
00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:11.650
knife across your wrists. It's easy. Try it. Stop, John.
440
00:20:12.549 --> 00:20:13.829
Don't do it. Shut up.
441
00:20:13.910 --> 00:20:15.650
He's trying to make me.
442
00:20:15.670 --> 00:20:16.569
Keep away from me, Wilson.
443
00:20:16.809 --> 00:20:18.690
I've got you by the arm. Let go of me, Wilson.
444
00:20:18.710 --> 00:20:21.490
Archaelus, did you feel the knife yourself?
445
00:20:21.549 --> 00:20:25.359
Yes, you've cut me, you fool. Your blood is being shed, Professor.
446
00:20:25.390 --> 00:20:27.440
Remember what I told you? Let me out of here.
447
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:29.700
Let me out. He's gone, John. Something.
448
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.740
Something's happened to me. I... I feel like I can
449
00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:33.240
talk now.
450
00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:37.140
Then talk. Tell me what you know. Archaelus' spell is weakened.
451
00:20:37.819 --> 00:20:40.009
I can't see you. I don't know who you are, but...
452
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.880
You've got to help me. I first suspected Archelous and.
453
00:20:43.859 --> 00:20:44.359
His crowd when.
454
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:46.779
when I saw that the steering mechanism of the flying
455
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:48.119
torpedo had an extra attachment.
456
00:20:48.140 --> 00:20:48.920
An extra attachment?
457
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.259
Yes.
458
00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:51.660
You see, the flying torpedo is supposed to be steered
459
00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:54.759
by radio beams from an accompanying plane. But this extra
460
00:20:54.779 --> 00:20:58.029
attachment I'm talking about would... would render the radio beams ineffective.
461
00:20:58.569 --> 00:21:00.529
In other words, the rudder is set so the torpedo
462
00:21:00.549 --> 00:21:02.390
will fly in a complete circle and come back and
463
00:21:02.410 --> 00:21:04.450
strike the point from which it was sent, like a boomerang.
464
00:21:04.509 --> 00:21:06.890
If it does that in the demonstration today, it will
465
00:21:06.910 --> 00:21:08.509
wipe out all the important government officials.
466
00:21:08.529 --> 00:21:11.009
Yes, that's their plan. Just as I made the discovery,
467
00:21:11.069 --> 00:21:14.049
Arcalis came in, into the workshop. I accused him, and
468
00:21:14.410 --> 00:21:16.990
he put me under this spell. I tried to talk,
469
00:21:17.009 --> 00:21:17.549
but I couldn't.
470
00:21:17.609 --> 00:21:20.750
Never mind that. Now get in touch with Commissioner Weston.
471
00:21:21.329 --> 00:21:22.390
Have him go to the proving grounds.
472
00:21:23.230 --> 00:21:25.710
He can stop the test flight of this flying torpedo
473
00:21:25.769 --> 00:21:26.930
if he gets there soon enough.
474
00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:43.839
What's the idea of having us wait around here at
475
00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:44.619
the South Pier?
476
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:45.960
There don't seem to be anything stirring.
477
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.259
Who are the guys we're supposed.
478
00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.450
To pick up?
479
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:50.700
Two birds for the name of Professor Arcalus and Barloff.
480
00:21:51.259 --> 00:21:53.640
Foreigners, huh? Yeah. What are they going to do, make
481
00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:54.119
a getaway?
482
00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:56.380
I don't know. Commissioner Weston just said to make sure
483
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:58.519
we got them, that's all. If it had been that important,
484
00:21:58.539 --> 00:22:00.480
don't you think the commissioner would have come down here himself?
485
00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:02.380
Well, he was coming, but he got a last-minute call
486
00:22:02.420 --> 00:22:03.819
to go over the place where they're trying out that
487
00:22:03.859 --> 00:22:04.880
new flying torpedo.
488
00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:06.099
Oh, yeah, I read about that.
489
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.940
All these inventions. Wait a minute.
490
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:09.380
Somebody coming down the dock.
491
00:22:10.210 --> 00:22:10.670
Hey, you.
492
00:22:11.769 --> 00:22:15.329
Hey, stop where you are or I'll shoot.
493
00:22:15.349 --> 00:22:16.150
What's this all about?
494
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:16.859
Nothing.
495
00:22:17.819 --> 00:22:20.200
Where are you going? That is my business.
496
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:20.960
What's your name?
497
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.400
Come on, what's your name? Are you Balov? What is
498
00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:25.859
it to you?
499
00:22:26.099 --> 00:22:27.259
Answer me, are you Balov?
500
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:27.880
Yes.
501
00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:29.619
Well, that's all we wanted to know.
502
00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:31.750
Come on. I ain't done nothing.
503
00:22:31.769 --> 00:22:32.410
He's got a gun.
504
00:22:32.430 --> 00:22:32.549
What?
505
00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:37.839
I'm sorry, Sergeant.
506
00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:38.400
I had to do it.
507
00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:39.029
That's okay.
508
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:41.009
This Arcalus will probably be along in a minute.
509
00:22:41.369 --> 00:22:43.529
But this boy behind us says we don't want Arcalus.
510
00:22:44.109 --> 00:22:44.509
Hey, look out.
511
00:22:44.549 --> 00:22:45.630
Here comes another guy down the dock.
512
00:22:45.690 --> 00:22:46.490
All right, quick.
513
00:22:46.529 --> 00:22:47.349
Behind this piling here.
514
00:22:47.390 --> 00:22:47.670
Come on.
515
00:22:47.730 --> 00:22:48.509
It must be Arcalus.
516
00:22:48.589 --> 00:22:49.150
Yeah, I guess so.
517
00:22:51.750 --> 00:22:52.789
Professor Arcalus?
518
00:22:53.750 --> 00:22:54.250
Who are you?
519
00:22:54.829 --> 00:22:55.250
The police.
520
00:22:55.269 --> 00:22:56.470
They want to ask you what.
521
00:22:56.490 --> 00:22:57.170
Well, you can't get.
522
00:22:57.089 --> 00:22:57.430
Me to talk.
523
00:22:57.470 --> 00:22:58.210
You'll never make me talk.
524
00:22:58.230 --> 00:22:58.690
Look out, Sergeant.
525
00:22:58.710 --> 00:22:59.269
He's got a gun there.
526
00:22:59.289 --> 00:22:59.890
Drop that gun, Arcalus.
527
00:22:59.910 --> 00:23:00.410
You can't take me.
528
00:23:00.430 --> 00:23:02.980
The police can't touch me. You asked for it.
529
00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:04.980
Oh, you nailed him, Sergeant.
530
00:23:05.809 --> 00:23:06.130
You get to?
531
00:23:06.170 --> 00:23:07.230
Oh, I'm okay.
532
00:23:08.589 --> 00:23:09.529
Here comes the parole.
533
00:23:10.049 --> 00:23:11.029
Must have heard those shots.
534
00:23:11.490 --> 00:23:12.490
Well, I didn't have time.
535
00:23:15.910 --> 00:23:16.670
Oh, Commissioner Weston?
536
00:23:16.690 --> 00:23:17.289
Yes, Sergeant?
537
00:23:17.670 --> 00:23:18.369
So you got our man?
538
00:23:18.710 --> 00:23:19.670
Yep. Is he dead?
539
00:23:19.970 --> 00:23:23.170
I don't think so, sir. Well, Archelous, maybe you'll talk.
540
00:23:23.529 --> 00:23:29.450
I'll never talk. Commissioner Weston.
541
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:31.559
Shadow, what are you doing here?
542
00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:34.650
We can't waste time, Commissioner. You stopped the test of
543
00:23:34.670 --> 00:23:35.619
the flying torpedo?
544
00:23:35.630 --> 00:23:36.190
Yes, but.
545
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.299
Good.
546
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:42.720
Commissioner, you've saved the lives of thousands of spectators. To
547
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.160
say nothing of some of our highest government officials.
548
00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:46.420
Then it was you.
549
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:49.609
Yes. Yes, I had a friend of mine call you.
550
00:23:51.349 --> 00:23:57.529
And now, Professor Arcalus, let's have a story. You haven't
551
00:23:57.589 --> 00:23:58.130
much time.
552
00:23:59.119 --> 00:23:59.359
I know.
553
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:04.769
I'm dying, Shadow. It was a plot against our national defense,
554
00:24:05.470 --> 00:24:05.859
wasn't it?
555
00:24:06.910 --> 00:24:07.349
It was.
556
00:24:07.509 --> 00:24:09.490
Who employed you to do it? That I won't tell you.
557
00:24:09.509 --> 00:24:11.609
But Lieutenant Wilson is innocent.
558
00:24:13.069 --> 00:24:13.289
Yes.
559
00:24:14.710 --> 00:24:19.799
Wilson is innocent. Commissioner, you're a witness. Lieutenant Wilson is cleared. Yes, Shadow.
560
00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:21.740
And what about General Levitt?
561
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:23.740
Barloff killed him.
562
00:24:23.779 --> 00:24:25.960
Where is Barloff? They got him behind these boxes.
563
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:27.359
How.
564
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.460
How did you know about General Leavitt, Shadow? We found
565
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:45.109
blood on his desk. But this time the blood is yours, Archelous. Yes. Mine. Well, Shadow,
566
00:24:45.890 --> 00:24:50.589
Archelous is dead. Yes, Commissioner. And you've been instrumental in
567
00:24:50.630 --> 00:24:55.269
averting a national calamity. Archelous is dead. The innocence of
568
00:24:55.309 --> 00:24:56.769
Lieutenant Wilson has been proved.
569
00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:00.900
And the integrity of the men who protect our liberty
570
00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:11.119
is again vindicated.
571
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.380
And now here is John Buckley, blue-cold heating expert, with
572
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:16.980
helpful heating hints for you.
573
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.559
Thank you, Ken Roberts. Good evening, friends.
574
00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:24.869
I've received numerous letters from homeowners asking what they can
575
00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:28.720
do to prevent chimney loss... wasted heat that goes up
576
00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:31.460
the chimney instead of through the pipes of your heating system.
577
00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:35.339
It is really a simple matter to prevent this, and
578
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:38.819
you will save money on your fuel bills, too. The
579
00:25:38.859 --> 00:25:42.009
next time you refuel the fire, move the handle of
580
00:25:42.069 --> 00:25:45.670
the turn damper, that plate-like damper inside the smoke pipe,
581
00:25:46.269 --> 00:25:51.250
one-sixteenth of an inch toward the closed upright position. Then,
582
00:25:51.309 --> 00:25:54.789
if the fire still burns too freely, close the turn
583
00:25:54.809 --> 00:26:00.410
damper another sixteenth of an inch. Repeat this operation until.
584
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:01.799
You've found the correct adjustment.
585
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:05.960
Once you've found this ideal adjustment of the turn damper,
586
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:08.619
mark the position on the smoke pipe with a piece
587
00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:12.539
of chalk or something that can be plainly seen. Then
588
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:16.819
leave the damper set at that mark. Remember, the nearer
589
00:26:16.859 --> 00:26:19.789
the turn damper is set to a closed position, the
590
00:26:19.849 --> 00:26:22.890
smaller the chimney loss and the greater the volume of
591
00:26:23.049 --> 00:26:26.670
useful heat. If you follow the suggestions that I give
592
00:26:26.690 --> 00:26:30.049
you every Sunday on this program, they should enable you
593
00:26:30.109 --> 00:26:34.490
to heat your home with the utmost efficiency and economy. However,
594
00:26:35.210 --> 00:26:38.789
if you're experiencing trouble with your heating plant, call your
595
00:26:38.849 --> 00:26:41.210
nearest blue coal dealer and ask him to send a
596
00:26:41.250 --> 00:26:44.859
John Barclay trained serviceman to your home to inspect your furnace.
597
00:26:45.500 --> 00:26:48.559
This service is free to all blue coal customers.
598
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:51.160
I thank you. Thank you, Mr. Barclay.
599
00:26:52.009 --> 00:26:54.759
And here's the official telegram advising of the award the
600
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:58.720
American Police Review has made to the shadow program. Quote,
601
00:26:59.619 --> 00:27:02.640
the American Police Review salutes the producers and sponsors of
602
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:05.640
the shadow for their contribution to the cause of better
603
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:11.009
law enforcement. 13,000 police executives throughout the United States read
604
00:27:11.049 --> 00:27:14.210
the review. So our purpose is to help them find
605
00:27:14.250 --> 00:27:18.420
the best tools and methods to combat crime. the editors
606
00:27:18.460 --> 00:27:20.480
of the review have turned a critical ear toward the
607
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:23.720
shadow program for some time and are gratified to note
608
00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:28.009
that your presentation of police roles truly reflects the intelligence
609
00:27:28.130 --> 00:27:31.349
and character of the high type of police officer now
610
00:27:31.430 --> 00:27:34.950
found throughout the land. We therefore take pleasure in presenting
611
00:27:34.970 --> 00:27:38.930
to you the American Police Review Certificate of Award for
612
00:27:38.970 --> 00:27:42.240
Distinguished Service to the Cause of Better Law Enforcement.
613
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:43.460
Signed, J.
