Full Plot Details

When The Shadow, a mysterious and masked crime fighter, finds the men that gambler and racketeer Brossett sent to break into attorney Randall's safe, he apprehends them and turns them over to the police. Later, while investigating the crime scene, police captain Breen discovers Lamont Granston, whose secret identity is The Shadow, nosing around the safe, and Lamont succeeds in fooling Breen into believing that he is Randall. As they are about to leave, Lamont answers Randall's phone and poses as the absent attorney. The caller, old millionaire Caleb Delthern, wants Randall to come immediately to help him re-write his will. Breen, overhearing the conversation, insists that Lamont go to his client. Upon his arrival, Lamont is instructed by Caleb to omit his niece Marcia from the will because he does not approve of her plans to marry Warren Berranger. Soon after ordering his niece's disinheritance, Caleb is shot and killed by a bullet shot through an open window. When the police arrive, they arrest Winstead Comstock, Marcia's cousin and the designated heir to Caleb's millions, who was seen walking in the garden. They release him, however, when they realize that there is not enough evidence to charge him. After the police and Lamont leave, Marcia's brother Jasper comes home drunk, after having lost a great sum of money at Brossett's gambling house. Brossett, aware of Jasper's bad credit, has threatened to kill him if he does not pay his gambling debts soon. Jasper desperately tries to borrow money from Winstead, and when he refuses the loan Jasper becomes angry and picks up a gun. At that moment Winstead is shot dead. Although it appears as if Jasper killed Winstead, the authorities later prove that the bullet that killed Winstead came from another gun. Warren, meanwhile, begins to suspect that Lamont is a fraud and soon finds out that the real Randall is out of town. Hoping to learn more about Brossett, Lamont poses as Randall's assistant, bugs Brossett's office and subsequently learns that Brossett has been planning to acquire Jasper's portion of the Delthern estate. At the Delthern house, Brossett's thugs hold up Marcia, Winstead's brother Humphrey and Warren, and demand that they give them Caleb's will, until Lamont, in his Shadow disguise, rescues them and foils Brossett's plan. When Brossett and his cohort, Wellington, show up at Lamont's home, intent on killing him, Lamont manages to create a distraction that results in Brossett and Wellington shooting each other. Before dying, Wellington confesses that he is Warren's father and that he killed Caleb and Winstead so that his son and Marcia would inherit Caleb's money and have a better life. Later, Lamont meets the real Randall, who forgives Lamont for impersonating him when he learns that he solved an important mystery.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 6/10 by Larry Y5.5/10. Interesting curio and early entry into the low budget "The Shadow" series. Not too bad. The cinematography and editing could have been better, and there isn't much of a score. It is entertaining for the most part.
User Review - 6/10 by John YCute old mystery film with a stereotypical ending. Fun if you're a fan of the old radio drama.
User Review - 4/10 by Aj VAnother boring mystery about some villain called the Shadow, who doesn't even exist. Who cares? This movie is boring.
User Review - 4/10 by Michael HShadow-in-name-only. Really dull attempt at making the Shadow come to life; as b-pictures go this is pretty boring.
User Review - 4/10 by Mack ESo, The Shadow isn't really in this film. Lamont Cranston goes undercover as some other guy, and then gets really talky. At barely over an hour, this movie is still forty-five minutes too long. It's in desperate need of a score and better actors, and maybe a judicious pruning of its scenes where guys stand around doing nothing.

User Review - 2/10 by Bog Man ,If you though the Baldwin version was bad, this is a desecration of a classic pulp character. The Shadow this ain't, this "Cranston" is a pudgy middle aged amateur sleuth who unravels what has to be the most boring plot in human history. Glacially slow, mindlessly yacky, and bland as a bowl of oatmeal.
