The Shadow (Grant)

In this full-cast production of the classic pulp novel, The Shadow investigates as, one by one, the partners in a chemical company die mysterious deaths. The plot of Partners of Peril and much of the action is almost identical to "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate", the very first Batman story in Detective Comics #27, which appeared some years later.

For the first time in his long career as a master crime-fighter, The Shadow thrusts aside his veil of mystery. Not under one of his many aliases, but in his true identity, The Shadow reveals himself. In this battle against the underworld, the unfathomable past of the man known as The Shadow is finally exposed.

The Shadow matches wits against Dr. Rodil Mocquino, the so-called Voodoo Master. Dr. Mocquino possesses a strange hypnotic power over men that causes them to do his bidding like mindless zombies. When the evil Voodoo Doctor creates an army of walking dead drones to carry out his latest vile plan, it's up to The Shadow to put an end to the black magic and the doctor himself.

The Master of Darkness confronts international espionage from New York to Paris in this thrilling Shadow masterpiece novel. In The Romanoff Jewels, we also learn the real story behind the Shadow's fire opal ring, a priceless girasol that adorns the third finger of his left hand.

The Black Falcon, a mysterious master of crime, has solved the Shadow's identity by cracking one of The Shadow's clever disguise. Keeping his own identity hidden, The Black Falcon assigns an evil henchman named Terry Rukes to carry out a bold kidnapping plan and capture The Shadow. With his identity compromised, the Shadow takes flight to avoid capture and triumph against this worthy foe.
